Forced To Marry The King Of Mafiaย ย ย The Devil They Feared
I couldnโt believe what I had just done.Me. Lorenzo Gonzalez. On my knees. I had never gone on my knees for any woman or anyone for that matter. It was unheard of. Unthinkable. But for her, I had done it. And the worst part? I would do it again.The realization twisted in my gut like a blade. What was she doing to me? I was not a man who bowed to anyone. Not to my enemies, not to my allies, not even to my own blood. Yet tonight, I had found myself kneeling before her, lost in her scent, her taste, the way she had trembled beneath my hands.My hands curled into fists, frustration burning through my veins. I was losing control and I hated it. Sleep was out of the question. If I stayed in this bedroom a second longer, I would find myself at her bedroom door, desperate for another taste. That wasnโt an option. I needed to get a grip.Stripping off my shirt, I stalked to my private gym. The cool air did nothing to soothe the fire raging inside me.

I woke up with Lorenzoโs name on my lips, my pulse was erratic, my skin flushed with warmth, and the vivid images of what he had done to me in my sleep left me breathless. For a moment, I felt bad waking up from the dream. I groaned, throwing an arm over my eyes as if that could make feel any better.Get a grip, Lucia.I forced myself out of bed, my legs still shaky as I padded toward the bathroom. The cold tiles did little to cool the heat coursing through me, and I gripped the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror. Eyes filled with confusion stared back at me, lips slightly parted.This wasnโt me. What was Lorenzo doing to me?I turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on my face before using the toilet and brushing my teeth. As I picked up my comb, I absentmindedly ran it through my hair before gathering it into a ponytail. I reached for my makeup bag, my fingers pausing when I realized what I was doing.I was putting on makeup for him. In the morning, when I had nowhere t

I ignored the way the nickname sent a shiver down my spine. โSomeone has to,โ I shot back. โAnd I donโt see anyone else here.โHis gaze lingered on me for a moment before he smirked. โIโm almost convinced you care about me.โI tried convincing myself that I didnโt, but I knew that was a lie. I didnโt know why I cared. I shouldnโt. I should just leave him to his business and go back to pretending like none of this concerned me. But against my better judgment, the words slipped out before I could stop them.โI donโt. But you need to get that wound cleaned.โLorenzo poured himself another drink, tilting the glass to his lips and swallowing it down in one go. His Adamโs apple bobbed as he drank, and when he set the empty glass back on the bar, his dark gaze lifted to mine.The way he looked at me sent a slow, unsettling shiver down my spine. There was something about itโsomething unreadable, something that made my breath catch.Then, to my surprise, he nodded. โOkay.โHe turned, heading t

I was a little shocked that Lorenzo had gone to the trouble of saving the women and children. It wasnโt what I expected from a man like him and I couldnโt help being surprised.He must have noticed the surprise on my face."You seem surprised," he murmured, his voice low and unreadable. "What? You thought Iโd let innocent women and children be sold like cattle?"I hesitated, my fingers stilling for a moment. The truth was, I had no idea what to think. Iโd seen the cold, ruthless man he was capable of being. The one who killed without hesitation. The one who forced me into marriage.When I didnโt answer, he exhaled sharply. "I might be a monster, Principessa, but not that kind. Women and children are off-limits. Always." His voice was firm, unwavering. "And I donโt allow that kind of filth in my territory either.โSomething inside me shifted. I wasnโt sure why, but I believed him.

I stormed out of Lorenzoโs bedroom, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldnโt stand the way his gaze seemed to pierce into my very soul, stripping me bare. He was wrong. There was no way I cared for him. I still hated him and that hadnโt changed.Needing a distraction, I headed to the library, determined to lose myself in a book. My fingers trailed over the spines until I settled on a book on the second world war. It wasnโt the type of book I would usually go for, but Lorenzoโs collection was as dark and intense as the man himselfโhistory, philosophy, and war.Hours slipped by unnoticed, the afternoon sun casting golden light through the tall windows. My stomach grumbled, reminding me I hadnโt eaten since breakfast. With a sigh, I closed the book and made my way to the kitchen.Maria was there, assembling sandwiches with her usual warm smile. โI was just about to bring these up to you,โ she said, holding up a tray. โWith some freshly squeezed orange juice.โI returned her smile.

After Lorenzo left for work, I decided to use the new phone that he got he last night and called Elena, I would have loved to speak to mom, but John already seized her phone. I will go see her later.Elena picked up after two rings, her voice laced with confusion. "Hello?"I grinned. "Hey, Elena."There was a beat of silence before she practically shrieked in my ear. โOh my God, Lucia! Whose number is this? Are you alright? Do you need me to come get you? Where are you?โ she sounded so worried it made my heart ache. She was getting sick with worry about me and I was here having illicit thoughts about Lorenzo.I laughed. โIโm okay, Elena.โโThis isnโt your number,โ she still sounded confused.โYeah, Lorenzo got me a new phone last night."โOh, I see.โ She exhaled, and when she spoke again, her voice was softer. "How are you, Lu? Really? Are you sure, youโre alright?"โIโm fine Elena, you need not worry.โShe sighed. "You sure? Iโve been worried about you."โYes I am. When do you get of

I froze, my milkshake forgotten, as Elena casually dropped the bombshell.โWhat did you just say?โ"Rumor has it John is on the run," she repeated.My stomach twisted. I set my drink down carefully, my fingers tightening around the cup. "Are you sure?"Elena nodded, her expression serious. "I heard that he hasnโt been seen in the last twenty-four hours. Lorenzoโs men are looking for him. Maybe he stole from him again and decided to skip town."A sharp exhale left my lips as I processed her words. Deep down, I prayed it was true. Maybe, just maybe, this time heโd stay gone for good. Maybe, without him around, I could finally find a way to help my mother.After brunch, we hit the shops. At first, I had every intention of shopping just to spite Lorenzo, to take full advantage of the unlimited card heโd given me and piss him off.

Spending the rest of the day with my mom was exactly what I needed.Elena and I kept her company, chatting about random things while we cooked together. It felt normalโlike the nights before John had ruined everything before my mom had to walk on eggshells in her own home. And even though she still refused to come stay with me, seeing her smile again made it worth it.By the time I dropped Elena off at her apartment, the sun had already dipped below the horizon.โCall me when you get home,โ Elena said as she stepped into her apartment building.โI will,โ I promised.I was just turning to head back when two sleek black cars pulled up beside mine.I stopped mid-step, heart stuttering for a moment.The back door of the first car opened and out stepped Lorenzo.Still dressed in the same dark suit heโd worn to work that morning, he looked as immaculate as everโlike he hadnโt spent the entire day handling whatever business the Mafia King handled.

As we sat in the restaurant, I watched Principessa try not to act nervous. She was shaking her legs under the table, her fingers tapping lightly against her glass.I reached beneath the table and placed a firm hand on her thigh, stilling her movements. โRelax.โShe looked up at me, startled, then let out a small, nervous laugh. โSorry,โ she murmured, offering me a smile that didnโt quite reach her eyes.I studied her for a moment. โWhatโs wrong?โโNothing,โ she said quickly. Then, after a beat, she exhaled and admitted, โIโve never been in a restaurant this fancy before. And people keep glancing at me.โI followed her gaze, noticing how some of the patrons stole quick looks in her direction before averting their eyes. My hand tightened slightly on her thigh.โThereโs nothing to be nervous about,โ I told her, my voice low and even. โEveryone in here knows exactly who I am. None of them would dare disrespect you because youโre my wife.โShe nodded and reached for her glass of water, tak
