Amelia To pay my father's debt and protect my brother, I married Salvatore Conti. The underboss of the Gambino Family. He was ruthless and treated me like his property. The only reason I kept holding on was my little brother, Ben. I was all he had. I had given up on life, but I found my knight. His son. Alessandro Conti. It was forbidden. It was dangerous. But it made me feel alive. Alessandro I was the son of Salvatore Conti, one of the most feared men in NYC. I hated the family and everything it stood for. And I hated my father even more. The first time I saw Amelia, she was marrying my father and no matter how beautiful she was and how s*xy her long legs were, she was beyond my reach. I should not have touched her but I had and she had become my sweet addiction.

CHAPTER 1

AmeliaI starred at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, and I could hardly recognize myself. It was as though a stranger was staring back at me. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, filling my lungs with air and holdingit there, until my lungs started to burn, urging me to breathe out. When I finally exhaled, instead of the calmness I was desperately seeking to wash over me, hot tears spilled out of my eyes, running down my cheeks, and my heart squeezed tight behind my ribcage.I wanted to scream. I wanted to pull my hair. I wanted to do anything just to let out the frustration and despair that coursed through me. But I could not do any of that. I did not want to alarm anyone of the struggles I was going through. Not that anybody near me was going to care. And again, I did not want to ruin the braiding that the stylist had worked so tirelessly to perfect. Salvatore Conti had made it clear that I was expected to be nothing short of perfect. And my new role in life was following thr...

CHAPTER 2
My wedding was far cry from the vision I held in my mind since I was a little girl. I had always envisioned myself getting married to the love of my life at the beach, surrounded by our family and friends in beautiful floral dresses and floral shirts. But there I was, engulfed in a sea of unfamiliar faces, marrying a man I despised more than anyone in the world, in a vineyard on his estate. I had no doubt that our wedding guest list consisted of members of The Bandoni Crime Family, or La Famiglia Bandoni as they fancied to call it, corrupt government officials and their business associates. None of these people cared about the couple getting married; they were there for business.Different people approached us, congratulating us. All these congratulations messages should have been directed solely at Salvatore. He was the one who had finally gotten what he wanted. And as for me, they should have been offering me their condolences since I might as well have just signed my own death noti

CHAPTER 3
When I opened my eyes, my head was throbbing and my body felt heavy, and I wondered why it was so. It took me a while to recall the shootout at the wedding and the green-eyed guy injecting me something after he carried me to his car. Even though my body was screaming in pain and would have appreciated some rest, I needed to get up. My father could have died in that shootout, and Ben might be in danger since he was at Salvatore's house during the shootout. I needed to get up and figure out where I was and then look for my family. I wondered how much time had passed. Ben needed to take his medication. He had type 2 diabetes, and it was never good for him to skip medication. With me away from him, I was not sure if that happened.I sat up straight before opening my eyes. A sharp pain stuck my head and I held my head in my palms, trying to contain the headache. When the ache toned down, I looked around and the room I was in was completely lifeless. Just the bed and nothing else I jumpe

CHAPTER 4
I found myself lounging on the couch, scrolling aimlessly through the channels on the TV, trying to find something that could distract me until Salvatore arrives. Never had I imagined that I would wait for the husband I hated to come home, but there I was, hoping he walks through the door. Hours later, I heard Alessandro calling out my name, and I looked up, seeing him walking into the room. Why was he looking for me now? He had made it clear that he was not interested in having a conversation with me whatsoever.“Yes?” I replied.“Time to leave,” he answered and I frowned.“Where are we going? Is my family okay?” I asked instead,“I am taking you where your husband wants you and as for your precious family, you can ask him when you meet him.”“You didn't…,” I started, but he cut me off.“Get up. I don't have time to answer your questions and neither do have the answers,” he snapped.He might not look like his father, and he might not emanate his father's energy, but he surely was n

CHAPTER 5
Alessandro's POVI was born and raised in the Bandoni Famiglia. And even though I despised the life in the famiglia, I had known from the very start that my fate was sealed within that life. Once you were in, there was no other way out. Guns, blood, and murder were not mere words to me. I had witnessed them since I was born. They were all part of the everyday life of the famiglia and they all made my stomach churn. That is why I decided to hide completely behind the computer.To my father's disappointment, while the other boys were fighting in The Underground, a fight club owned by The Bandoni Famiglia, I was locked up in my room, working on breaking an encryption code of a random company or website. The times you would find me at The Underground were after my father would have dragged me there and forced me into a fight."You need to toughen up and fight like a man," he always insisted.Most of the time I ended up sprawled on the ground, with a bleeding nose and bruises all over my

CHAPTER 6
Amelia's POV3 Months LaterBeing Salvatore’s wife had come with a rigid and outrageous set of rules. But I had tried my best to follow through with the precision of a well-trained solider. I was the obedient wife, following his every command like his soldiers did. I did not put up any fight, and neither did I complain about anything. He wanted s*x; I opened my legs and gave it to him however he wanted it. He wanted an arm candy, I called the stylist and adored myself in designer clothes, plastered my face with make-up, and smiled at everyone until my jaws ached. He wanted to lure a partner during dinner, I sat next to him, acting pretty. I did everything that was expected of me.But somehow, somewhere, I ended up being on the wrong side, and he never failed to show his disapproval. A slap across my face or a punch was his preferred way to communicate his disapproval. I had lost count of the times Calliope had to treat bruises and the times she had to cover black eyes with tonnes of

CHAPTER 7
Alessandro' POV I parked my car in front of my father's house and stepped out. He had been breathing down my neck, demanding that I had to meet him. I knew what it was about. He wanted to make sure I was going to take the oath on the next initiation night, confirming my place within the famiglia. His position in the famiglia was already being challenged since I, his only heir, was being reluctant to take on duties in the family. And what he wanted was to maintain his position in famiglia. The mafia was very traditional, and inheritance mattered a whole lot more than you would expect it to be in the 21st century.Was I going to take the oath?Yes. I was. There was no running away from that. Was I ever going to be really part of the famiglia? Not if I could help it. I walked through the doors and passed a number of guards standing watch. They were more than the usual number and seemed to be more alert too. I guess the attack on his wedding night had made him anxious and paranoid.

CHAPTER 8
Alessandro's POVI got to my penthouse and went straight into my bathroom to wash off my father's wife's blood from my body. I discarded my clothes in the trash can and took a bath, making a mental note that I needed to take my Mesarati to the car wash. It was my favorite.After I was done, I went into my study. I was working on the security system for a research company in the UK, and I thought I could work on that since I was not feeling sleepy even though it was already 2am. I tried to concentrate on my computer, but my mind kept drifting back to Amelia. The haunting images of her frail body on the floor, in the back seat of my car and her on the stretcher bed were etched in my head. The sound of her whimpers echoed in my mind, refusing to fade away.Amelia had made her choices, and now she was suffering the consequences of her involvement with my father. I was not supposed to be feeling any empathy for her; she was a willing victimI sighed, trying to push my thoughts aside and fo

CHAPTER 9
Alessandro's POVMy father, seeing that I was not going to back out of our staring competition, placed his fork and knife in his plate, took a wet wipe, and wiped his hands.“Meet me in my office right away,” he ordered, throwing the wet wipe on the plate before standing up and leaving the room.I watched him walk out, and I remained sitting. I might as well have had a well-prepaid breakfast if I was going to face my father. And, oh, also talk to my father’s wife, who was now looking up and at me with a frown on her face.“Amelia,” I softly said.“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice gruff.“How are you feeling? Are you okay?” I asked, ignoring her question.She looked around, and I wondered what it was for. Her gaze returned to me, worry written on her face.“Please stop that. You are going to get me in trouble,” she said, and I realized that my question was innocent but not in my father’s house. It had the power to get her into trouble, and she had been checking if anybody

CHAPTER 10
Alessandro' POVIn a day’s time, I sat on a hired private jet going to Costa Rica for my first assignment for the famiglia. I sat opposite my father, starring at him while he was taking a nap. I looked at him, a fresh wave of hate brewing inside me, and I wished I could pull out the knife in my pocket and stab him. I had spent my hours before the flight looking into Amelia.My guess had been right. He had blackmailed Amelia into marrying him. Finding Amelia’s father was easy, and looking into his life was not hard. He was a regular at The Rush, blowing off money on the gambling tables. That had given me a hint of what might have happened. Accessing my father’s books was easy. I would not have trusted his accountant if I were him. He knew nothing about protecting data. I did not break any sweat to hack into his GammaStack and access the bank accounts. Sure enough, Amelia’s father had borrowed money from my father and failed to pay it back. The debt was all of a sudden written off a few
