Veronica’s Pov “ Who the fuck are you “ the voice repeated. I turned around to take a look at the owner of the voice . My eyes settled down on the sexy man in front of me . My knees weakened dear god I cannot help but stare at him . His blue eyes , kissable pink form lips , and well arranged black hair . His jaw is very sharp and outlined . His face is fucking beautiful. Yes beautiful is the world that can describe this Greek god standing before . He is wearing a limited edition suit that hugs him perfectly. This man is hot , sexy and fucking handsome . Am I dreaming? “ No you aren’t dreaming now answer my question who the fuck are you “ he said . Oh my his voice is so manly and smooth but also deep . My eyes widen in realization . Did I just say that out loud ? “ Hey are you deaf? What’s your name ?” He said, I can see his eyes soften . “ Veronica “ I finally answered we are making progress here. “Well Veronica, what are you doing in my bedroom?” “ Sorry I got lost . I'm trying to find my room “ “ Room ? Are you a staff here ?” He asked . He has a pleasing voice and a nice one . “ No my step father owns this place “ “ Get out, “ he said with anger . “ Why “ “ I said get out of my room “ I quickly rushed out of the room . I stumbled on a maid who gladly showed me my room . ………………………… The next day I woke up before seven and had a wonderful relaxing shower and brushed my teeth. I wore a short blue gown and paired it with flat shoes . I am pretty tall for a female about five feet nine so I don’t usually wear heels . I tied my black hair in a tight ponytail and applied some nide lipstick. I made my way downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat. My stomach also grumbled in agreement. “ I’m sorry ma breakfast will be served by seven thirty.” Said a panicked madam Montana . “ It’s okay “ I said Walking out of the kitchen I decided to have a little tour round the first floor . I mistakenly bumped into a maid, my leg twisted and I fell on the floor making the maid pour hot coffee on my left hand . I yelped in pain . “ What's going on here ?” Asked the hot man I met yesterday. “ I’m sorry sir . She hit the tray and your coffee..” “ Save it . I don’t have time for your stupid explanation “ “ Yes sir “ said a frightened looking maid . She hurriedly retreated from the scene leaving on the floor together with a hot adonis. “ Veronica, “ he said in a whisper. I can feel myself blushing. What’s wrong with me ? He only called my name and I’m blushing. “Come with me “ he led me to a random bathroom . I’m alone with a man in a bathroom. I tried not to think of the possibility of what could have transpired between us . “ What are we doing here ?” I asked him . “ Get your hands under the cold water, “ he said . I can still feel my hands hurting. I stood there without making any movement. “ Now Veronica “ he demanded This time I reacted quickly . His voice doesn’t allow objections . I held out my hand and allowed the cold water to run down my hand . I’m glad the pain has subsided a little. I can see how red my skin is . Once again I have a view of him . He is polished and smartly dressed. He is wearing a new suit that hugs him perfectly. I can imagine my hands running down his torso. He is very much alive . His eyes are bright blue and he looks completely woken up considering it’s still early in the morning. His hair is arranged in a neat style quite different from the previous one . He looks kind of intimidating and has an intimidating aura around him . “ This is the second time you are getting into trouble Veronica . I don’t like trouble makers “ “I’m sorry “ I managed to say . My face was bowed. I was looking at my feet. I can’t bring myself to look at him . “ Look at me when I’m talking to you . Is that understood?” Said his harsh voice . Is it weird that I find it sexy? “ Yes, “ I said breathlessly. This time around I fixed my gaze in his face . His handsome face . This man is not made out of dust as the good book says . I’m sure he is made out of precious stones . “ Let me see your hand, “ he said . I stood there dumbfounded . I was lost in his beautiful face. “ I don’t like repeating myself Veronica “ Oh my gosh my name on his lips sounds so beautiful. I can feel butterflies in my belly. His voice caresses my name . I love it when he calls my name . I quickly extended my hands towards him . He held my hand in his big long fingers. Hot I feel hot all over. I’m starting to get flushed. His hands are warm, almost hot. My heart is racing and beating fast . Who is this man ? How can he make me hot by just holding my hands. He lightly put his fingers on the burnt area. Gently caressing and making small circles . A shiver went down my spine . “ Let’s get this treated, '' he said as he half dragged me out of the bathroom . He led me downstairs to a room and opened the first drawer on the cabinet. He brought a first aid kid and placed it on the table . He applied some cream and a gaze on the burnt area . It looks really red . I hope it doesn’t leave a scar . “ Be careful next time “ he said as he left the room leaving me in a complete blushing mess . My stomach grumbles for the second time today. This is my cue to go get something to eat . I made my way to the dining area and met my mother and stepfather having breakfast. I’m surprised to see the head seat still empty. Isn’t he supposed to sit there ? He is the man of the house . I find myself a seat farther away from the two of them . I don’t have time for their cheesy moments . “ It is rude to ignore your elders like time Veronica “ said my mother . “ It's okay baby, “ said Mr Vince. I merely glanced at their direction and gave them a nod . “ This is unacceptable Vince baby “ said my mother . I feel like vomiting . Baby ? He's too old to be called a baby . “ Veronica, this is my son Bruno De Cabilo . Son Veronica, your step sister, “ said a smiling Vince . “ I believe we have met already, “ said his son . Wait, his son ? That voice .Chapter One Hundred And Five : SafeVeronica’s POV "Bruno, no! I refuse to leave you! We're a team, a family. We face everything together, always!" I exclaimed, my voice firm and resolute.Bruno's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. "This isn't a debate, my love. I'm sending you and Alejandro to a safe place, where you'll be protected from all this chaos. I can't risk losing you, not now, not ever."I stepped closer, my eyes locked on his. "And what about you? Who will protect you? You're the one in the crosshairs, Bruno. I can't just abandon you to face this alone."Bruno's face softened, his eyes filled with a deep longing. "My love, I need to know you're safe. I can't focus on taking down our enemies if I'm worried about your safety. Please, just go, for me, for us, for our family."I shook my head, my heart heavy with fear and determination. "No, Bruno. We're in this together, always.

Chapter One Hundred And Four : Generous Proposal Veronica’s POV We arrived at the designated meeting spot, a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of town, surrounded by lush gardens and a high wall. The Martinez family was already there, their leader, Carlos, a tall, imposing figure with a cold gaze."Bruno, glad you could make it," Carlos said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I see you've brought your lovely wife and son. How...touching."Bruno's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. "What do you want, Carlos?"Carlos smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I think you know. I want to propose an alliance. Together, we can control this city, share the profits, and rule with an iron fist."I felt a chill run down my spine. This was a dangerous game, and I didn't trust Carlos or his family."What's in it for us?" Bruno asked, his voice cautious.Carlos leaned forward, his eyes locked onto Bruno's. "I'll give you a share of our territory, our resources, and our protection. You'll be

Suddenly, he heard a faint knock, followed by a whisper."Bruno, it's me, Sofia. I need to talk to you."Bruno's expression changed from suspicion to surprise. Sofia was a trusted ally, but what was she doing here at this hour?He opened the door, and Sofia slipped in, her eyes scanning the room nervously. "What's going on?" Bruno asked, his voice low.Sofia hesitated, glancing at me and Alejandro before focusing on Bruno. "I have information about the Rossis," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "They're planning something big, and it's going to happen soon."My heart skipped a beat as I exchanged a worried glance with Bruno. What were the Rossis planning, and how could we stop them?Bruno's eyes narrowed. "What kind of information?" he asked, his voice tight with tension.Sofia h
Chapter One Hundred And Twelve : Training Veronica’s POV I gazed up at Bruno, my eyes pleading. "Please, Bruno, let me train with you. I'm tired of being the weak mafia wife, always needing protection. I want to be strong, like you. I want to be able to defend myself, and help you in your battles."Bruno's expression softened, his eyes filled with a mix of surprise and admiration. "Veronica, you're not weak. You're smart, and resourceful, and you've already proven yourself to be a valuable asset to me and our family."But I shook my head, determination burning within me. "That's not enough. I want to be more than just a valuable asset. I want to be a partner, a equal. I want to fight alongside you, not just hide behind you."Bruno's face hardened, his jaw clenched in thought. Then, he nodded. "Okay, Veronica. I'll train you. But you have to promise me one thing: you'll always prioritize your safety. I can't lose you, Veronica. You're my everything."I nodded eagerly, my heart racing
Chapter One Hundred And Eleven : Honest Veronica’s POV "We need to be careful, Bruno," I said, my voice still urgent. "Ciana is not to be underestimated. She's cunning and ruthless, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants."Bruno nodded, his expression serious. "I know, Veronica. I'll be careful. But I also trust you. If you're by my side, I know we can face anything Ciana throws our way."I felt a surge of love and gratitude towards him, and I knew that we were in this together. We would face whatever challenges came our way, as long as we had each other.Just then, the doorbell rang. Bruno's eyes flicked towards the door, and then back to me.

"Ciana, we need to talk," I said, my voice firm but calm.She looked up at me, a hint of wariness in her eyes. "What's this about, Veronica?" she asked, her voice sweet but cautious."I know what you're up to," I said, my eyes locked on hers. "I followed you yesterday. I saw you meeting with that mysterious figure at the café."Ciana's expression changed, a flash of fear crossing her face before she masked it with a smile. "Oh, that? That was just a friend from town. We were catching up."I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "A friend? Really? Because it looked like a lot more than that to me."Ciana sighed, her shoulders sagging. "Fine, Veronica. If you must know, I'm in trouble. I owe some people money, and they're not happy with me."My eyes widened in surprise. "You're in debt? How much?"Ciana hesitated, her eyes darting around the garden. "A lot. More than I can p
