Mark's POVIt is a few months after Enzo disappeared from our lives. Today I have decided to ask Olivia to marry me. First, I have to go to Don Riccardo and Donna Mia. I will have to ask him if I can marry their daughter. I am slightly nervous as I am from the Russian Mafia, and they are from the Italian Mafia. Oliver will take over from his father. I do not want Olivia to be my mistress. I want her to be my wife. I have too much respect for her to even think of her as a mistress. I know that is how Don Riccardo and Donna Mia started out. I have heard the whole story Olivia told me, and I find it very romantic. I want to show them that I respect their daughter. I will never turn into Enzo. I'm glad he is out of our lives, and we never have to see him again. I do not know where he is or what has happened to him. Olivia has been through so much. I will never hurt her, and I believe that Don Riccardo and Donna Mia will know that. She is the love of my life. I never want to lose her. Whe
Mia's POVToday we are celebrating love. It is my daughter's wedding. I cannot believe that life has come full circle. I once was Don Riccardo's mistress. Now, I am his Donna, and our baby girl is getting married. We have gone through so much together and will still go through so much more. My eyes are full of tears as I look at my beautiful daughter in her white wedding gown. She looks beautiful. I can't believe that I almost lost her daddy. He looks so proud walking beside her as he walks her down the aisle where Mark awaits her. I look at Oliver standing next to Mark. He is the best man. Eva is the bridesmaid. The two of them had surprised us and had been dating for a long time. I know Oliver is waiting for her to finish her studies before they get too serious. He knows Eva is still young and wants to enjoy her life on campus. Oliver is not jealous and allows her to go out with her friends. However, I know Eva does not go out. She does not like going out with Oliver. Daria and Dmi
Mia's POVMy name is Mia Costa. I am the middle child of Don and Donna Costa. My father is a Don in the Italian Mafia in New York. To say I am the black sheep of the family is an understatement. My mother calls me the ugly duckling of the family. She made me wear contacts and braces to make me more acceptable in school, but it did not work. I was constantly bullied. My brother and sister never stood up for me and even joined my bullies. Well, I do not care. My brother, Lorenzo, got a Porche when he turned eighteen, and my sister got a Ferrari as she was the favorite. I got an old beat-up beetle. Most of the time, it broke down when I needed it the most. I dared to complain to my parents, and they sold the beetle, so now I have to walk where I have to. So you can say I never got a car from my parents. My brother is twenty-one and studying economics as he will take over the family business from my father one day. Lorenzo is blond with blue eyes like my mother and my sister. The only th
Mia's POV"Ooohhh. Sexy ass," I think to myself as I watch Riccardo's ass from where I am hanging over his shoulder. I am angry as fuck, not only because my father sold me to the bloody Godfather but also because Riccardo treats me like I am his new possession. He is going to take me away from here! What about my studies and my job? What will happen to me when he is done with me and no longer wants me? Will he throw me away like an old used rug? Most probably, but the sooner it happens, the better for me, and I can return to my old life. "I can walk, you know," I say. "You talk too much," Riccardo answers, slapping me on my bum. "Ouch!" I scream, and then I sink my teeth into his sexy ass. Oh, I enjoyed that."Fuck! Are you crazy, woman?" Riccardo shouts, and he dumps me into the back seat of his car. I wonder where I got the courage to talk to Riccardo that way. I am shy, and I do not talk back to people after years of being bullied by my family and the other students at my all sc
Mia's POVWe wait for a while, and I almost fall asleep. I have not slept well in a long time. My parents and siblings were not the easiest people to live with, and the room I had in the house was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I never had a lovely room like my brother and sister. Lorenzo always complains that Amara is my parent's favorite and that he is the black sheep. I can only laugh as he does not know half of the bullshit I have to face under my parents and sister. That is my past, and I need to figure out my future. "Don Riccardo, the stylists are here. Your sister came herself as she wanted to meet your new girl," Mario says. "Really? I bet she is only here to come and warn my new girlfriend about me," Riccardo laughs. "Why would I do that? I can see that she is unhappy already. Why is she wearing a waitress uniform? Ricci, you will not use this girl as a mistress, are you? She is still young, and you can not ruin her life!" A woman says as she walks onto the pla
Mia's POVAria takes my hand and leads me to another part of the plane. There are dressed, pantsuits, skirts, shirts, shoes, and handbags everywhere. I look at Aria as if she is crazy, and I look at the clothing and see everything is in my size. How did they know? "Riccardo sent me your size, and he must have seen it on your uniform," Aria says as if she can read my mind."I can not pay for this," I say. I can see the clothing is designer fashion. "You are not paying, honey. Ricci is paying, and he has enough money," Aria says. "I do not want to owe him anything," I say. "Think of it as uniforms, and you work for him until you pay your father's debt. I know my brother. He will not let you go until he thinks you do not owe him anything," Aria says with a sigh. I can see she looks frustrated. "Well, if you put it like that. I think I will be better armored to face the devil in Prada than in a waitress uniform," I say. Aria laughs. "Oh, I hope Ricci falls head over heels in love wi
Riccardo's POVI look at Mia, and she looks beautiful. I can not believe it is the girl I felt sorry for at her parents' house in New York. I can not think that I, Riccardo Marino, feel sorry for someone, but she also intrigued me because she was unafraid of me and gave me hell from the start. Maybe she did not know who I was, but she cleared that up quickly. She is not going to let me play with her and her feeling. I apologized to her, and that was not sitting well. Why the hell did I feel the need to do that? I do not know. This woman is playing with my head. I can not wait to get home. I know no woman can resist me, and I am not full of myself. I know that because every bloody woman I meet wants to jump into my bed and be with me. That is why I want a mistress to help keep the ladies away from me. I do not want any of them in my life. Bria hurt me when I was young and broke, but no other woman will ever humiliate me like that again. I am no one's plaything. "Don, we are about to l
Mia's POV We stop in front of a huge mansion. I am sure if Riccardo gives me trouble, I can hide from him for weeks without him finding me. I will not be surprised if my bodyguards are with me all day. I get out of the car before the driver can open my door. I wouldn't say I like that they treat me like I am the lady of the house. I will only stay here until I have reached my goal and paid back Riccardo. I know Riccardo does not respect women and never will because of what one woman did to him. "Your room will be next to mine. I wouldn't say I like to let my girlfriends sleep too far away from me. Also, I wouldn't like it when someone cheats on me. I will kill you if you try to do that," Riccardo says. "Who the hell will I cheat on you with? The man on the moon? You know your clan will never betray you and that everyone is scared to death of you. You have put your damn mark on me, and no man will even think of looking at me. Even men not in the Mafia will not try to cross the mig

Olivia's POVI'm sitting in my office waiting for Mark to come and fetch me for lunch. It makes me happy. Sometimes I still think about Enzo and the times we had together. However, after what he has done, I can never forgive him. He went after my family, which is a big no for me. He's getting a lot of backlash on the Internet and in the business community. Everybody knows my father and loves him. I cannot tell why Enzo has done what he did. What he did was take a very promising career and mess it up. I still do not know why he did it. I loved working with him the first time on the first game that we did together. I still think Enzo is very selfish and only thinks about himself. My office door burst open. Enzo Valentino is standing at my doorway."What do you want, Enzo?" I ask."Olivia, please let me just talk to you. I've got so much that I need to explain to you. I know what I did was wrong. I love you. I understand what I have done is wrong. I know now that I should never have take
Enzo's POV I did not expect somebody to find and post my files on social media, but I should have guessed that if somebody could find them, it would be Olivia. I guess I am exposed. This is the end of me because my company shares folded. I have nothing left to live for. I guess all I can do is go overseas. Nobody knows me there. I should make a new beginning. I have messed with the wrong families. I should not have tried to take on the Marinos. I should have known that I would stand by each other and that they would never turn against each other. What I did was wrong. I know that now. I should have listened to my parents and never taken on Riccardo Marino. I don't know what made me think I could win a war against them. It does not mean that I forgave them. I do not like him, but it's nothing I can do against him. He has won the war, and I am giving up. I have lost so much. I feel it is my own fault. I should have never taken a Riccardo Marino on. Can I turn back? No. I wish I could t
Olivia's POV Yes, I am in love with Mark. I cannot help it. He is a very handsome man. He is strong and reliable. It means more to me that he stands by my side than Enzo's looks. What Enzo has done is just wrong in my eyes. Enzo attacked my parents. He has asked for a war. My family is sacred to me, and I believe my family does not deserve what he does to them. I believe that my father was wrong. Even in the end, he did help Enzo's family. Enzo's mother and father are not holding a grudge against my father. So why is he? I cannot believe that Enzo has turned out so bad. I cannot believe that at one time in my life, I believed that I was in love with him. So now Enzo is going to have problems. I cannot believe that I have to do this, but I have to. I have to protect my family against a person like Enzo. " Are you okay, honey? It would be best if you did not feel wrong about what we will do to him. We have to expose him because of your family. We cannot lead your father to be blamed fo
Mark's POVI have seen the photos of Riccardo online. I know they are fake because I know that Riccardo Marino will never do something like that. I am very optimistic that his family is standing with him and that they will never believe that he will do something like that. They all know him, and they know how much he loves Mia. Enzo has gone too far this time. I understand that the Marino family will not stand for it. However, I know how to expose him once and for all. Tomorrow, Enzo will be revealed. I know he is the one that is behind the photos, and I know that it is him in the pictures. Enzo has made one big mistake. He has missed the wrong person. Also, he has not taken into account that Riccardo is a much older man than he is, and the body of an older man does not look like the body of a younger man. I sent him that message to let him know I would expose him. "Are you also looking at the photos of my father on the internet?" A voice comes from the door of my office. I look up,
Enzo's POV Everything is going wrong, and I do not understand why. My company is losing money daily. The Russian Mafia has abandoned me, and the Dons of the Italian Mafia are telling me they no longer want to work with me. I do not know what I have done wrong. I was so sure that I had everything planned out. Everything changed when Olivia showed up again. Was she even gone? I believe she was always working behind the scenes, making me furious. I thought she loved me and would not be a problem for me in the future. I was wrong. I have often seen her with Mark Ivanov in the last few weeks. I cannot say that I have enjoyed it. I still believed that Olivia belonged to me. If I can get her, I can get the Costa family. And with the Costa family at my side, the Valentino and Costa families will become more powerful than the Marino family. We will be able to take over the Godfather ring. If only I could persuade Olivia that I still love her and need her to send by my side against her own fam
Mark's POV The rest of the night we spent together in another nightclub. We have fun and soon forget about Enzo. We have promised ourselves that we will not think about him for the rest of the night. Valentino is nothing in our eyes. I can see that he did not even upset Eva or Olivia. He might think that he is still something in their eyes. He may think that he is irresistible to all women. He is making a mistake if he believes that Eva or Olivia or even thinking about him. We enjoy ourselves drinking a few drinks and dancing the night away. I like being close to Olivia, and I am sure she likes being close to me. The two of us are dancing the whole night. We forget about Oliver and Eva. We are enjoying ourselves as we dance. "Shall we go home? It is already late. I do not want to get you home too late. I do not think your father will appreciate it if I get you home too late," I say. I can see Olivia is not in the mood to go home. She pulls her face at me and sticks her tongue out.
Olivia's POV Enzo is becoming more isolated daily. He thinks that the Dons are on its side. He does not know that the Dons contact us and tell us everything he plans to do. Nobody likes him because he thinks he is better than everyone else. He believes he is the most clever person in the world. He thinks everybody around him is stupid. We are foolish and will allow him to take over the Italian Mafia. This is the beginning of his end. I am planning to ruin him financially over the next few months. Enzo needs to be humbled. He may be clever, but he is not a very good businessman. Yes, he made money from his tech company, but only because he has been the only one in the game. Not that I am giving him a little bit of trouble with the tech company. His stocks are falling, and most Dons are out to help me ruin him. Enzo has pissed off a lot of people. He has used him, and he has used their daughters. I'm going on a date with Mark, Eva, and Oliver tonight. I do not know where they plan to
