He never knew how hungry his heart was until he had the taste of her love. He is infernal. She is angelic. Marcello Colombo, the third in command in one of the biggest crime families in New York, is well known for being relentless, cruel, strategic, notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants—and for having absolutely no interest in love and commitment. Not until he met Mariana Anderson and suddenly he found himself thirsty for her with an unquenchable desire. As the eldest and unfavourable daughter of her father, Mariana Anderson, was oblivious to her father's crimes until the day she met Marcello, the devil himself. She knew getting involved with a man like him would be dangerous. But who would have known that what fate had in store for her was different and shocking? Not only did he kidnap her and take her as his hostage, he was also going to marry her, and she had no say, but that is not even the worst of what she was going to experience as the wife of a Mafia consigliere. As Marcello began the quest to seek his parents' killer, he was forced to accept a horrible truth, one that would unfold more and more secrets along the way.

The sideway and the club seemed busy tonight, but he risked it anyway. It was the best place to find leftover foods or drinks, even if it was dangerous.

Chapter 1
Marcello awoke with a jolt. Sweat slicked up his skin, leaving beads of sweat spotting across his naked chest. For a moment, he laid on the bed staring at the ceiling of his room.It wasn't often he dreamed of that night in Manhattan, not anymore. Sometimes it could've creeped into his mind and it wouldn't let go. The memory itself was a nightmare. That night, he had followed his parent's killer to his dwelling. Jacopo took him off the streets, gave him a home, but every good deed has its own price.Marcello released deep breaths, running his fingers through his dark hair as he sat up on his bed. As hard as he tried to tolerate Jacopo, he couldn't keep in the hatred he had for him. There wasn't a thing Marcello wanted for when he grew up in Colombo's household other than to get a lot of power to be able to get his revenge on his parent's killer.He started from an errand boy, to a chauffeur, to a drug carrier and now he was their consigliere. The third in command. He did a lot of ha

Chapter 2
'Never said I was.'Mariana's brows pulled together."What gave you the right to be in such a place and pretend to be a priest?" He glanced her way, gaze lazy. "I came here for confession or isn't that what this place is for?" The most embarrassing thing about it was that she couldn't tell if he was mocking her or not. It was obvious he was. He had sat there pretending to be a priest while he listened to her embarrassing confession. His stare swept her from head to toe, burning her skin. But when his gaze met hers, watching her with hooded staring into-the-sun expression, waiting for a remark from her.They stared at each other. Mariana takes in his appearance. He was handsome and sexy. He had the kind of rugged good looks that belonged to outdoorsy men, like woodcutters. He was wearing an all black suit and a black leather glove. He wore black from head to toe. She swallowed. Black ink covered the left side of his neck. Warmth rushed thr

Chapter 3
Her lips trembled. She didn't say anything.A corner of his mouth quirked up. "brava ragazza." Good girl.He spoke too fast for her to understand what he had said. But it was obvious he spoke in Italian. Very Italian. She stared at his lips, they looked luscious, and the Italian words pouring out of them was so seductive. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.He dropped the gun from her waist."No one steals from a Colombo man." He turned to face Anthony. "Your daughter is coming with us. She'll be with us until you bring back what you stole from my boss."He turned to her. His eyes were unreadable.Lifting up his empty hand, he brought it behind her neck.Instead of releasing her, he tightened his hold."We're leaving. I'm taking her with me." He informed his brothers and they nodded their heads."Where are we going?" Mariana questioned."You are asking a lot of questions."They headed out of the church without anyone noticing anything amiss until they arrived

Chapter 4
The maid quickly covered her mouth as she realised Mariana had no idea of the marriage."Excuse me." The maid said, rushing out of the room and locking the door behind her.Mariana felt like she was falling. There is no way she was going to marry that man. She'd rather die!The following day.Mariana could not even close her eyes, let alone get to sleep. She spent most of the night pacing the floor cursing her father and Marcello, hating her father.. How could he had done this to her? He couldn't have thought of a worse punishment. She was locked up in a strange environment, paying for his crimes.Marriage?To a consigliere, the adviser to a Mafia family.To him of all people. A dangerous man who had the coldest grey eyes she'd ever seen.There was a knock on the door and when she opened it she found a maid holding a tray of fresh fruits, scrambled eggs and a glass of juice."Your breakfast, signora." The maid said, smiling.Not long after the maid had left, another one much older arr

Chapter 5
Mariana could feel her life flashing before her. Was he going to pull the trigger? She wasn't sure. In her twenty-one years of living, she'd never had a gun pressed to her head. Never felt cold metal against her temple. Never felt as if her life could be gone, just like that. Never been in such a situation before. The cold in her vein froze to ice. Marcello's voice cut through the drumming of blood in her ears. It was low and smooth, and she grabbed onto it like a life raft. "Put it down, Vincent." "I won't. You killed my uncle!" The barrel shook against Mariana's head, and her lungs compressed. "Tell your man to drop his gun, Federico!" Jacopo said to Federico. Mariana glanced at Marcello, only to stare at the end of a barrel. He was going to shoot the man behind her, but what if he missed? "You're going to shoot your wife, Marcello." Vincent's heated voice vibrated against her neck. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Mariana's heart was beating so fast. One. Two. T

Chapter 6
Mariana took a long, hot shower. She had brought the clothes she was going to put on to the bathroom. She wasn't going to dress in the room while Marcello was there. She had no choice but to pick one of the short gowns in nylon since she couldn't find an appropriate dress to wear for breakfast. She slipped out of the shower, dried off, and dressed in a black gown. The gown showed her cleavage due to its square neckline, and her legs were exposed. She combed and dried her long black hair before going into the bedroom. Marcello was looking at something on his phone, and when she walked in, his gaze pulled up from the phone and rested on her face. It settled there for a moment before running down her bare neck and cleavage. Her breath stilled when it trailed over the curves of her breasts and down her stomach. Warmth rushed to her face when his gaze lowered to her exposed thighs, tracing her long, attractive legs. He tried to ignore the heat running to his groin because if he didn't, h

Chapter 7
Marcello's eyes narrowed at the contempt in the man's voice. "Stupido." Stupid. The man clenched his teeth. "Stupid?" He chuckled. "You really have no idea." Marcello's gaze hardened. "About what?" "It's time for you to die." Marcello laughed, then paused and looked at him with a threatened stare. "How Ironic!" The man raised a brow, wondering how he could be so cool while having guns pointed at him. He was just a freaking consigliere of the Colombo family, yet he looked unaffected by the guns pointed at him. "Your wife is quite lovely. "I'm going to make her my whore after I kill you." The man said his attention was stuck on Mariana's ass. Marcello clenched his teeth. He would kill any man who looked at his wife. "You just crossed a fucking line." He chuckled, and the vibration sent a shiver down her spine. Were they going to shoot Marcello? She had no idea. He was outnumbered. None of his men were with them. Was he going to die? She couldn't help but get worried. If

Chapter 8
Marcello stepped out of the car, and Mariana followed behind him. The house was larger than it looked from the outside. The back door entered the kitchen, with steel appliances and low lighting. An office sat to the left of Mariana, with the credenza desk visible through the cracked door. Except for that, there was a small bathroom and laundry room at a corner, with a staircase running upstairs. It was simple, clean, and masculine. She swallowed when he shut the door with a password. He turned to drop his keys on the kitchen counter. She stood frozen next to the door while he poured himself a drink from the minibar near the windows. This was actually the first time that they were alone—actually alone in a house, in a country, and in a city. Mariana knows no one except for him. The curtains were closed, and only small shards of light got through, leaving the room dimly lit. Mariana's legs trembled because of the way he watched her as he leaned against the small bar, and the longer

Chapter 9
Mariana recognized the word 'puttana'. Whore. Did she just call her a whore? Her gaze found the woman with indifference, and then responded to what she had called her. "It takes one to know one." It was clear Marcello didn't value her as his wife. If he had, he wouldn't have even allowed this woman to be there. Her chest tightened. Hurt. He was going to showcase his girls in front of her like she was nothing. She hadn't wanted any of this. To be married to the boss of a Mafia gang at twenty-one. But he was going to treat her like this? Mariana vibrated with rage. She even had to share a bathroom with his whore. The woman's mouth dropped open. "Do you know who I am?" "I don't and honestly do not care." Her eyes narrowed. "You know," she eyed Mariana. "You are nothing but another useless whore to him." Marian went completely silent, showing no anger. This woman wasn't worth her time. "You are in my room." "What will you do if I don't leave? It's not even your room." "Leave, Be
