“Babe, marry that man soon!”“Thank you, Maddie. I like you more every day,” Vince replied.“You’re welcome, brother-in-law.”Raffaele was sitting in the car, waiting for Vince to arrive with the girls when someone knocked on his window. He looked and saw Nico standing there.Nico was a mess. He had been working too much, trying to push Maddie out of his mind. But at the end of the day, when he laid his head on the pillow, she was there. And if he dreamed, it was always about her. Maddie and Raffaele, doing far more than just exchanging chaste kisses. Horrible nightmares.Raffaele rolled down the window.“Yes?” he asked, his tone neutral.“We need to talk,” Nico said, his expression serious.“Oh, I don’t think so,” Raffaele replied, glancing at his wristwatch. “I’m waiting for my girl.”“It’s about Maddie. It’s serious.”Raffaele took a deep breath. He and Maddie had been seeing each other—he’d kissed her, even given her oral sex. More than once. She hadn’t done it to him, but she had
“I, Vincenzo Giasone Bonaccorso, Don of Cosa Nostra, would like to ask for the hand of Guendolina Prisca Watson, or rather, Guendolina Prisca Scarpinato, your daughter, in marriage,” Vince said seriously. “In addition to the union with the woman I love, it would also mark the beginning of a truce and partnership between Cosa Nostra and Camorra.”Vince took a small box from his jacket pocket and placed it in front of Bartolomeo. He opened the small black velvet box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. It was handsome yet delicate, exactly how Vince knew Lina would prefer. She wasn’t a fan of huge, extravagant jewelry.“I’m in agreement, as long as she is,” Bartolomeo said. He had already spoken with his Council, who had given him permission to leave Las Vegas as much as needed for their mob heiress to adjust to her new life. Additionally, the union between the two organizations would be highly advantageous.Everyone turned to her, and she swallowed hard before taking a sip of her water
“Let it out. Let the tears wash over you,” Vince said, gently patting his friend's back. He knew that sometimes, crying was the only way to heal. He himself had shed plenty of tears before he realized how much he loved Lina and found the courage to go after her.Once Nico seemed to calm down, Vince called Mario, one of the soldiers, to pick him up and take him back to the mansion while Vince went to look for Lina and Maddie.Bartolomeo was staring at the door when Vince stepped inside.“How is he?” Bartolomeo asked, his voice low. Vince was caught off guard but chose not to argue.“He'll be fine. Or at least, he'll be in a manageable state. In time.”“Uomo stupido,” Bartolomeo muttered, gesturing to the door where Vince had come from, whiskey glass in hand.“Yeah. Unresolved love does that to people. And... please, don’t talk about my Sottocapo like that.”“Did you do it? Did you cry?” Bartolomeo asked, inhaling from his cigar, offering one to Vince, who declined.“Yes,” Vince admitte
Maddie smiled at him and nodded. She liked him, felt desire for Raffaele, and felt at peace when she was around him. She could picture herself spending the rest of her life with him. There were no bad moments with him, and her heart felt calm.“Yes, I do!”Raffaele couldn't hold back any longer and stopped the car. He unbuckled his seatbelt, pulled Maddie close, and kissed her passionately.“Let's go to my apartment,” Maddie whispered, her voice seductive.“Are you sure?” Raffaele asked, hesitant. The last thing he wanted was for Maddie to feel pressured into anything. He knew exactly what she had in mind for them at the apartment.“Yes,” she replied, her voice firm and resolute.*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***While Maddie and Raffaele were heading to the apartment, Lina and Vince arrived at the mansion.“I can't believe I'm finally engaged!” she said, looking at the ring on her finger. “I loved the ring. It's exactly like something I would wear.”Vince kissed her on the lips.“It t
“Aaah!” Lina started saying incoherent things when she felt the orgasm hitting her. Vince then stood up straighter and held onto Lina's hips, withdrawing almost completely and thrusting himself in, faster and harder, until he was hallucinating, Lina was crying with pleasure, playing with her clitoris herself, until he came again, in an explosion.“Oh, I'm going to cum, damn it!” Vince announced and let himself spill inside her. Lina was exhausted and the two fell onto the bed.“That was...” she couldn't even speak. He pulled out of her, and she felt empty immediately.Vince gave Lina's bottom another spank, lying down next to her.“Fuck. Perfect woman, damn it! I can't believe you're officially going to be my wife. And I will be able to have you every day, every hour, here. In our house.”“Not at all times. I'm still a college student,” she reminded him.“Yes, yes... I hope you finish this soon,” he growled low. “I know it's your desire and I want you to be a fulfilled woman in all as
Nico glanced at his watch, seeing that it was 12:22 AM. He hadn’t realized it was so late. He doubted Maddie and Raffaele were doing anything more than talking. He got back into his car and drove slowly back to the mansion, head lowered.The next morning, Lina and Vince woke up, changed clothes, and headed to her apartment. Lina needed to gather some of her things, as she would officially move into the mansion the following week.Bartolomeo wanted an extravagant wedding, with a large guest list, as was traditional in Italian culture. However, Lina refused. She didn’t know many people, and what she least wanted was a room full of strangers on such a special day, exchanging empty words. She simply couldn’t say no to the high-ranking members of both mafias, though.Instead, she and Vince would get married at the registry office first, the following week, before she moved in with him. Afterward, they’d have their own intimate celebration. Bartolomeo, though reluctantly, agreed. It wasn’t
Even though he seemed to be kidding, there was a hint of sincerity in his words, and Lina caught it. Maddie blushed, lightly pushing him on the shoulder.“You’ll have to ask this young lady, who’s talking to you so nicely, before you put a ring on my finger, handsome.”Raffaele laughed heartily.“I’ll try my best to meet your expectations, signorina[1].”Laughing, the three of them left the apartment, with Raffaele holding the car door open for Maddie and Lina to get in. He quickly joined them in the driver’s seat, and the trio made their way to the registry office.Bartolomeo was already there, standing alongside Vince and Nico, waiting anxiously. He had a nagging feeling, but refrained from voicing it. He didn’t want to be the one to ruin the moment at his daughter’s wedding to the head of the former enemy organization.The place was surrounded by men from both the Camorra and Cosa Nostra. Bartolomeo wasn’t from New York, so he didn’t have all his men at his disposal. After his daug
Nico tried to grab Vince by the shoulder, but Vince shrugged him off, his eyes focused solely on the chaos unfolding around them. Nico knew his duty—to protect his Capo at all costs—but in this moment, everything felt like it was slipping out of his control. The other soldiers were already moving, but it wasn’t enough to stop the attack.Vince wasn’t going to back down. He fired at as many of the men as he could, his aim precise despite the chaos. But in the middle of it all, he was grazed on the shoulder. That brief moment of distraction was all it took. A man managed to slip past, approaching Lina, who was still oblivious to the violence surrounding her, her eyes locked on her injured father.The man in the jacket raised his gun and fired, but before the bullet could reach Lina, others nearby acted. Raffaele was shot as well, falling to the ground. Maddie was beside him, desperately trying to help him up. A second man—another of Vastano's men—shot Bartolomeo in the head as he lay cr
Vince came over and gave her a good slap on the buttock.“Damn it!” he said, bending down and licking Lina. “Your taste is so perfect!” “Then eat me!” she teased, moving her thighs in circles in his face. “Cazzo!” Vince went back to licking Lina, holding her buttocks open. He only stopped when she was almost reaching orgasm. Then Vince stood. Lina whimpered. “You're going to cum on my dick, hottie.” “I want to suck you,” in response, she received a slap on the butt. “Later. Now I want to feel you squeezing me all over with that greedy pussy.” And without further ado, Vince positioned himself and started pushing, eliciting moans and screams from Lina. Vince held tightly to Lina's waist and increased the pace of his thrusts. “Vince! Oh, my love!” “My wife!” he started to thrust deeper. “My wife. I love you!” Vince was burning with happiness and pride. This was the first time they had been intimate
Everyone turned to look at the church entrance. A completely disheveled Noah was there. He looked drunk and his eyes were bloodshot.“Noah?” Lina asked and glanced at Vince.“You can't marry him,” Noah said. “The baby is mine!”There was commotion in the church. Lina opened her mouth, not believing what Noah was saying. Vince's eyes instantly went dark. The whispers of the Organizations members began. Some Camorra men were present, of course.“Get him OUT of here!” Vince ordered, indicating the church door, with his arm outstretched.“No! I'm not leaving! She is mine! You stole her from me, but she loves me, and we made this child.”Lina had already put up with too much. Noah had publicly humiliated her when he announced his relationship with Olivia. Then, every time they saw each other at college, and even at a party. He always allowed Olivia to make fun of her.Now, to invade her wedding and talk that nonsense? Oh, hell no! She wouldn't allow that anymore! On top of that, he was sti
She was completely ready except for the jewelry.Maddie started putting them on and Lina wanted to cry. Around her neck, she wore the chain that Vince had given her and also the one her mother had given her. In fact, it was a gift from Bartolomeo to her and, even though she was hurt by it, Maryam had never thrown it away.When Bartolomeo saw the necklace around Lina's neck, he was extremely moved. He then confirmed how much Maryam loved him, until the end. She needed money, but she never got rid of the jewelry. Now, the one wearing the necklace with a single sapphire, surrounded by diamonds, was Lina. The yolk wasn't big, especially because her mother didn't want it to be that way. Bartolomeo bought her a perfect piece of jewelry.“There,” Maddie said, finishing arranging Lina's hair back into place, after putting on the necklace. “And control yourself. Makeup is waterproof, but still, it is not eternal.”Lina nodded and stood up. She opted for a model with an ‘Empire’ style skirt. It
“You'll have to have dinner with me,” Renzo noticed the girl's nervousness and, as much as he had thought they could go out together and end up in bed, he changed his mind.“D-dinner?”“Yes. Dinner. I promise I won't attack you or anything. I just want to get to know you better.”“But why?” Carina asked, even more confused.“What do you mean by asking me this?”Renzo didn't understand her question.“What is your intention? Why do you want to get to know me better?”“I think you’re pretty, interesting, but I don't know much about you, other than that you're beautiful and you know how to sew very well.”Carina turned all red.“I think you better stop the car. I'll order a taxi from here,”Carina's heart was beating so hard, to the point that her head was spinning.“Hey, Hey! Why the sudden change?”Carina looked at him, clearly hurt.“I don't know why you decided to make fun of me, but I don't have to continue with this game. Please stop the car!”“Wow, chills! And who said I was making
“Shut up, idiot!” Nico said between his teeth.“Well, well…”“Maddie?” It was Carina.“Cari!” Maddie said, pulling Carina closer.“Ah, I just came to deliver the coat you left back there. They're closing things down and I thought you wouldn't want to leave it there.”“Thanks!” Maddie was thankful. She liked that coat. It was a gift from her mother, who unfortunately couldn't go because Maddie's father was sick.“You look great, Carina!” Lina commented. “And congratulations! I knew you sewed, but just by listening. I had never seen your creations. They are very beautiful and of excellent quality!”Carina turned all red and Renzo, who was looking at her, noticed it.‘Her cheeks look pretty, flushed like that.’“Let me see that eyeliner!” Lina asked. “I swear I try but I just can't!”Carina laughed and took off her glasses. The super thick lenses distorted her eyes. She had her eyes closed, but when she opened them, still without her glasses, Renzo couldn't stop looking at her.‘Lei... L
She looked back and saw Noah. He seemed to be healthier than the last time they had seen each other.“Oh, hi…?” she replied, holding the folder to her chest.“Is everything good? Ah… where is Lina? I never saw her again. Is she okay?”“She is great!” Maddie knew that Noah was trying to get closer to Lina, so she thought it best to deliver the fatal blow. “She's engaged. Officially.”Noah's smile trembled.“Fi-fiancé?”“Yes. They’re getting married soon.”Maddie was not one to forgive easily. And she never forgave Noah for breaking Lina's heart. She just didn't hate him at all because if it weren't for that, Lina wouldn't have met Vince and wouldn't be so happy today.“Everything okay here?” Nico approached them and glared at Noah, who swallowed hard. “Yeah. I was just telling Noah that Lina is engaged.” Nico saw Maddie's little smile and thought she could be cruel when she wanted to.“I see… So, shall we go?” Nico didn't speak to Noah and Maddie nodded.Noah remain
“And yet, it's me she wants,” Vince said, calmly. “She loves me and it's me she's going to marry. If you bother us with that again, I'll kill you myself.”Vince hung up the phone and Lina noticed his hands shaking.“Babe?” She asked, placing her hand on his arm. Vince looked at her and hugged her.“Do you think I'm little?”Lina was taken by surprise by that question. How on earth could he think that of himself?“Vince, I don't know what my cousin said, but whatever it was, he's an idiot. You are the best man, and not only that, you are the best man for me. I love you and I am with you. Forever.”Vince hugged her tighter.“I love you so much, Lina,” he loved her to the point of being able to overlook what her father had done. For her. “And I love you. And don't worry. Renzo is not going to be my administrator of anything. The will said that he would be in charge of my things as long as I wanted. And I don't want to,” she lifted her face from Vince's chest and looked into hi
“Try to calm down, everything will be fine!” Maddie said, while finishing Lina's hairstyle. “I'm scared, Maddie. I've never participated in that kind of stuff,” she closed her eyes and exhaled the air from her lungs and looked at her friend, through the mirror reflection. “What if there's some mess?” Maddie stood next to Lina and made her look at her. “Everything will be fine. You and Vince are getting engaged and in two weeks, you'll be married.” “I'm still worried. Vince looked worried. He spent all day yesterday on the phone, shouting here and there. I don't know Italian, but I learned a few words and he was angry.”In the office, Vince was bubbling with rage. “Traitors son of a bitch!” he punched the wooden table. “They betrayed Bartolomeo and wanted to kill Lina! They gave it as a gift to Vastano!” “And what will we do with them?” Nico asked. “They are in power. We have to be able to talk to the Camorra Council.”“Let's
The woman said, taking out her cell phone and starting to record. “I just got kicked out of here for no reason!”She was clearly recording a video. Vince remained impassive.“Kindly leave. I will not put up with your lack of respect toward my fiancée.”As the woman continued to talk nonsense, Vince just flagged down the security guards and turned away.“I'm going to call the police!”Vince didn't even look at the woman, and with Lina in his arms, he continued walking towards the VIP wing.“Vince, that woman is a digital influencer…”“Love, please! She is nobody! And if she was ever someone, from the moment she got involved with you, she ceased to exist.”Vince took out his cell phone and typed something, then put the device away and smiled at Lina.After eating, Lina excused herself and went to the restroom. She hadn't noticed how full her bladder was.Vince was going to tell her that their room had a private restroom, but Lina ran out and he didn't have the opportunity. He was gettin
