The Alliance Alone
"What's wrong, Lily?" Rosalina rose a doubtful brow, sitting in a wheelchair with thick layers of plaster covering her legs. Lily got up from the bed and hugged Rose tight. "I love you.""You're being weird," Rose murmured.Lily chuckled, but the weight of the heavy, unbearable reality weighed her frail shoulders. She kissed Rose's cheek and let out a weary sigh. "Don't tell me you have a brain tumor you've been hiding for years and you're about to die soon." Rose gasped, her hands flying to her cheek. "Is that why you're being so extra clingy?"Lily could help but laugh. She smudged the tears from the corner of her eyes. "No! It's just that... I missed you.""Aww, missed you too, Lily." Rose fluttered her long lashes, giving a sarcastic smile. "But seriously, what's wrong?" Lily's shoulders slouched. There was no point in hiding it. "Enzo left me." Rose's mouth dropped to her lap. "Okay?" She frowned. "But why?" "Nonno told him to divorce me..." "That testa di cazzo!" Rose mutt

"I'll do it." Enzo's eyes widened in surprise at Leo's quick answer. "Are you sure about this?" Hesitation flickered in Leo's light brown eyes. Leo looked like the male version of Mamma in so many ways, especially his expressive face which leaked all of Leo's thoughts and feelings. "You're my brother. This is the least I can do for you. You deserve to be happy with Lily." Leo said with a forced smile. "But what about your happiness?" Enzo didn't wish this life for Leo. As the older brother and his guardian, Enzo wanted Leo to have a carefree life and not be tied to the punishing responsibilities of the Cosa Nostra. "I wanna own my responsibilities. I'm not a kid anymore, Enzo." Leo said, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Besides... Rose and I are over." So his speculations were correct. Leo did have a fling with Lily's cousin. "Is it?" Enzo's intuition told him that this fling really wasn't over. "It is," Leo said gruffly. "I'm willing to marry Mia Armando." *** Non

Lily shut the bedroom door behind her and turned around to face him, but her eyes were downcast. She had grown more beautiful since the last time he saw her. The bruises and marks on her face and body were gone, bringing her skin back to ethereal white, and now, she stood there like the goddess he was supposed to worship. As expected, the Russos took great care of her. "Lily..." He brought his hand to touch her face but she flinched away from him. "Why are you here?" She asked coldly. "To take you back." He said. Lily bit her cheek, her delicate brows drawing together in a frown. "I'm not a toy you can just throw away and take back as you please." She snapped at him. "You're not a toy. You're my wife." Lily let out a sarcastic breath. "A wife you're about to divorce soon." Enzo clenched his fists tight at her bitterness. But it was his own damn fault she acted this way. "I'm not divorcing you, Lily." She snapped her head at him, meeting his eyes with a furious glare. "Wh

Matteo Russo glared at Enzo with a pissed-off expression that was permanently etched on his face. "I cannot return Lily when you are still at war with the Armandos. I don't want her to be caught in the crossfire." "There will be no war," Enzo assured. "I signed a truce with the Armandos. My brother Leo will marry Antonio's sister to form an alliance. So there will be peace between both the families." Matteo and Saint exchanged surprised glances. "I heard Andrae Armando is the next leader. Did he really give his sister away without a fight?" Saint questioned. "Quite the contrary. He looked more ecstatic to marry his sister Leo." Enzo said. There was defiantly some beef between Leo and Andrae, though, Leo denied it. Enzo wouldn't come here without making things safer for Lily and their future baby. Sacrificing Leo's carefree life wasn't on his agenda, but Leo wanted to own his responsibility as a Salvadori. This alliance was the quickest way to bring peace so Leo immediately sign

Last Updated : 2023-06-01The Alliance Chapter 1
ROSALINA'S POV I grew up in what most would think of as a typical Italian family. An extensive family that included my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. I had no siblings growing up, so my cousins were my siblings. My mamma wasn't too happy about the family arrangements. The place was too cramped for her and she gasped for freedom and—privacy So, my parents and I moved out to live as a small family when I was six. Papa wasn't too happy about this and neither was my Nonno, who was the head of our large family. My mamma and Nonno never got along well and they always ended up arguing. Mamma was the only daughter-in-law who showed the grit to speak her mind, unlike Aunt Fiona and Aunt Maria who turned into voiceless dummies in Nonno's presence. Soon I saw Nonno was happy Mamma was gone, but what he didn't like was that she took his son with her, too. I didn't like our new house. Not even a little. It was too dead. Too quiet. Too dull. It was then I realized how much I missed
Last Updated : 2023-06-01The Alliance David and Goliath
ROSALINA'S POV (Eighteen years old) After Papa's death, I spent the rest of my years with my grandparents. The warmth that I had felt in our home faded away over time because I was discovering more about the illegal activities my family did to earn money, to bring food to our table, and to provide for me. My whole life was practically built upon piles and piles of blood-money. The more I learned about my family's wrongdoings, the more I figured out why Mamma left us. Nonna was the only one who ever talked about her when we were in privacy. Otherwise, Nonno would get livid for uttering her name. My Mamma was the bringer of shame to our family and to my Papa, and Nonno regarded her as good as dead. That's how Nonno expressed his hatred, by forcing everyone to forget about the person who crossed him. Because they weren't worthy of living, not even in our heads. I was dying to see my mamma. Not just because I still loved her, but because I needed answers for why she did what she did

The Alliance Epilogue 2
5 YEARS LATER... LEONARDO'S POV I reclined in one of Enzo's plush office chairs, half listening to my cousins drone on about business. My gaze landed on Enzo's hands as he gesticulated, and I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing. His nails were painted a glittery pink and decorated with Hello Kitty stickers. When he caught me staring, Enzo shrugged. "Gigi ambushed me this morning." "Daddy-daughter time looks good on you, brother," I teased. Enzo shot me a wry look. "We'll see how you handle it when your little hellion grows up." I chuckled thinking about my spirited son. "Adriano keeps things exciting, for sure. Just yesterday he finger-painted a mural on his bedroom wall using Rosalina's lipstick." My cousins howled. "Takes after his old man," Luca said. "In all the best and worst ways," I agreed. Right on cue, my cell phone rang. I didn't have to check the caller ID to know it was Adriano's teacher. "That'll be Mrs. Dawson now. Let me guess - he set off stink bombs in
The Alliance Epilogue one
LEONARDO'S POV(A few months later...)A piercing cry split the night air. I groaned, clinging to the last remnants of a pleasant dream as little Adriano's wails persisted."Your son is awake," I mumbled, still half asleep.Rosalina stirred slightly. "Before sunrise, he's your son," she quipped drowsily.I chuckled at the familiar Lion King quote, then dragged myself reluctantly from the warm bed. I shuffled over to the crib and gently lifted my bawling son into my arms. We had named him Adriano, after Rosalina's father."Shhh Adriano, go back to sleep," I soothed, rocking him gently. His tiny mouth rooted hungrily at my chest, latching onto my nipple. I winced. "Wrong nipple, buddy."I retrieved one of the bottles of breast milk Rosa had pumped earlier and offered it to Adriano. He sucked greedily, his cries subsiding as I held him close. I smiled down at my son, my heart swelling with love and pride. He had his mother's beautiful hazel eyes and my strong Salvadori nose and chin.I
The Alliance Just married!
ROSALINA'S POV I stared at my reflection, scarcely recognizing the radiant bride smiling back. The strapless gown hugged my body perfectly, the pink floral accents on the skirt matching my rose tiara."Oh, you look absolutely beautiful!" Lily dabbed at her eyes as she helped me smooth the skirt.I couldn't stop smiling, joy bubbling inside me. After everything, this day had finally come - my wedding day! My Nonna stepped forward, clasping my hands warmly. "Stellina, I'm so happy for you. You chose well, my dear. That boy loves you with his whole heart."I embraced Nonna tightly. "Thank you. For understanding, and supporting us." She stroked my hair lovingly. "Always, il mio tesoro."A loud commotion outside made us glance at the door. I heard Leo's voice rising insistently."Let me see my wife, damn it!"Isabella shot me a bemused look. "Somebody's impatient to get this show on the road."I laughed softly. Trust Leo to toss tradition aside. My heart swelled with love for my soon-to
The Alliance Mother
ROSALINA'S POVI clutched the address in my hand, the edges creased and worn from the countless times I'd unfolded it. Antonella DiMarco - the stranger who used to be my mother. "You sure about this, babe? No one would blame you if-""I'm sure," I cut him off, my voice tight. "I gotta do this, Leo. I can't..." My throat closed up for a moment. "I can't move on until I look her in the eye and get some damn answers."He nodded slowly, jaw tight. I could practically hear the argument raging in his head about why this was a bad idea. But one glance at my expression and he just sighed, holding out his hand.I shifted in my seat, trying to ignore the growing pressure in my bladder. The sun was starting to set, casting an orange glow across the desert landscape blurring past. Leo kept his eyes fixed on the road, one hand resting gently on my knee in silent support.I knew I should've gone to the bathroom again before we left the last rest stop an hour ago. But nerves had killed my appetit
The Alliance Revelations
LEONARDO'S POVThe dank basement reeked of blood and fear. My uncle Giovanni was tied to a chair, swollen and battered from the beating he had gotten. But I felt no pity for the traitor.My cousin Luca's eyes were wild with grief. Losing his twin Lucio had destroyed him. Now seeing his father Giovanni revealed as a turncoat was the last straw."Alright, talk," I said coldly to Giovanni. "Spill why you teamed up with Andrae against your own family."When Giovanni stayed silent, Alessio slammed a fist into his gut. Giovanni wheezed in pain as Luca flinched, choking back a sob."Last chance," I said casually as Giovanni fought for breath. "Give me the details, then you get a quick death for ratting out the family."Fear flashed in Giovanni's eyes. He started rambling about how Andrae had approached him and offered control of the family if Giovanni helped kill my brother."Lies!" Giovanni cried desperately. "He used me! I never wanted Vincenzo dead, you gotta believe me!"Disgust roiled t
The Alliance Ares and Aphrodite
LILLINA'S POVI cradled Enzo's limp hand in both of mine, pressing fervent kisses to his chilled fingers. The steady beep of the heart monitor was my lone comfort as I maintained my bedside watch. His chest rose and fell rhythmically, but he remained locked away in unconsciousness. "You have to come back to me, Enzo" I whispered, my vision blurring. "Our daughter needs her father." I swiped angrily at the tears streaking my face. I had to be strong for our child, though the effort threatened to shatter my fragile composure.A knock interrupted my swirling thoughts. Carlo entered, his expression carefully neutral. "Any change?" I shook my head mutely, a fresh wave of tears spilling over. Suddenly, Vincenzo's hand twitched feebly in mine. I gasped, leaning forward intently as his brow furrowed. "Enzo?" I choked out. "C-can you hear me?"With agonizing slowness, his eyelids fluttered open halfway, still clouded by anesthesia. But they locked onto mine with recognition that flooded my
The Alliance Written in blood
ROSALINA'S POVThe courthouse appeared all too soon, a hulking stone edifice that filled me with dread. Andrae dragged me forcibly up the steps, his grip leaving blossoming bruises on my arm. I scanned the empty foyer frantically, praying for some means of escape. At the far end, an elderly clerk sat stamping documents behind a high desk.Andrae strode toward him purposefully, shoving me ahead of him. "We need to be married immediately," he barked.The clerk's eyes widened at Andrae's imperious demand, flickering uncertainly to my tear-stained face. "I'm sorry, sir, but there are certain requirements..." he began weakly.In a flash, Andrae had a pistol aimed at the man's forehead. "The only requirement is that you do as I say," he growled. "Now."The clerk paled, raising his trembling hands in acquiescence. "Y-yes sir, right away." He fumbled with shaking hands to ready the license and certificate, the gun still leveled at his head.Once the documents were prepared, Andrae scrawled hi
The Alliance Brick by brick
VINCENZO'S POVChaos erupted as bullets flew in all directions. Years of simmering hatred between the Salvatores and Armandos had finally boiled over, transforming my brother's wedding into a bloodbath."Get the women and children to safety!" I bellowed. My men rushed to usher the terrified guests away from the hailstorm of lead.I scanned the pandemonium desperately for my pregnant wife. "Lily!" Where was she? There - a flash of her yellow dress across the courtyard. I sprinted towards her, bullets kicking up shards of brick at my heels.She stood paralyzed behind an overturned table, one hand instinctively cradling her belly. I shielded her body with mine and urged her towards the exit. "We need to move, now!"We scrambled into a sheltered alcove. Her eyes were wild, face streaked with tears. "Oh God, the baby-""You'll both be alright," I soothed. I peeked out - we weren't far from an escape route. I steeled myself. "On three, we run."I took her hand in mine. "One, two, thre-"The
The Alliance Bloody red wedding
ROSALINA'S POVI slipped into the marble restroom, the swell of violins and chatter fading behind the heavy door. Gripping the gold-flecked countertop, I steadied my breathing, willing my roiling nerves to quiet. Today Leonardo pledged himself to another while our unborn child grew in secret within me.The door creaked open and my reflection paled. Mia. An awkward tension thickened the air as we hovered, over the betrayed bride-to-be and the 'other woman'. To my surprise, her dark brown eyes held no malice. Only sympathy. "Hey, Rosalina," she said gently. "Are you okay?"I attempted a weak smile, my hands trembling. "A bit unwell, thanks." A massive understatement. I smoothed my dress self-consciously, the pink chiffon Leonardo adored. Mia's gaze flickered over it. "That color suits you Wanna rest a while in my suite?"Giving a weak smile, I nodded. I followed mutely, sinking into an ornate chaise lounge as attendants fluttered around Mia. The opulent chamber with its marble friezes
