His gaze was steady, a hint of amusement softening his otherwise serious expression.
"I wasnât pretending," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I was just trying to get your attention."
"Well," he said, his lips curving into a faint smile, "you have all of it now."
She swallowed, suddenly nervous. "Where do I even start?"
"Anywhere you want to." His tone was warm, inviting, as if he had all the time in the world for her.
Delilah hesitated, searching his face for any sign of defensiveness. She found none. "I met Lucia."
Marco raised a brow. "Alright."
"You never told me there was a Lucia," she continued, her words careful. "I walk into the room, and there she is, introducing herself as your assistant. Thatâs fineâyou need o

The morning light crept into the room as Delilah stirred awake, her lashes fluttering open to an empty bed.She stretched lazily before sitting up, her hand reaching for her phone on the nightstand. The events of the previous night flashed in her mind.Delilah had been a bit restless after her brief confrontation with Marco over Lucia.Her possessiveness gnawed at her peace.And so, with a determined smirk, sheâd rummaged through her luggage and retrieved a small camera sheâd hidden for emergencies like this.Slipping into Marco's library undetected, she had carefully placed the camera where it could capture the room.Satisfied with her work, sheâd returned to bed, where Marco lay on his back, chest rising and falling in steady rhythm.Delilah had nestled her head gently against his chest, feeling his heartbeat und

The steady hum of the jet's engine filled the luxurious cabin. Seated in the opulent, cream-leather chair, Marco Donato's fingers moved swiftly across the keys of his laptop. His eyesâdark greyâwere locked on the screen, his expression sharp and focused. In his mid-twenties, Marco's entire presence radiated dominance. His tall, muscular physique filled the seat with an effortless grace, his black hair styled just enough to maintain a hint of messiness, giving him a charming look. The dim lighting of the jetâs interior cast sharp shadows across his face, emphasizing the stern line of his lips.He typed out a quick message to his family, and just then, the door to the cabin opened softly. Gino, his trusted right-hand man, entered. A hulking figure with an athletic build, Gino always bow to Marco, though he carried the strength of a man not easily intimidated.Gino bowed his head slightly in respect. "Boss, is there anything you would like?"Marco didnât look up. "Just wine," he rep

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee still lingered on Delilahâs clothes as she entered her small apartment. As soon as she stepped inside, the scent of something delicious hit her nose. She inhaled deeply, savoring the scent of spices and herbs that made her stomach growl with hunger. After a long day at the cafĂ©, it was exactly what she needed.With a tired sigh, she dropped her bag lazily by the couch, her shoulders slumping in relief. She moved toward the kitchen, following the irresistible smell, already guessing who the culprit was.She rounded the corner into the kitchen, and found her aunt, Mary Flynn. Mary stood over the stove, stirring a pot of what smelled like her famous chicken stew. Her auntâs graying hair, always tied back in a neat bun, gleamed under the kitchen lights. Despite her age, Aunt Mary had the energy of someone half her years and the warmest smile that could melt any stress away.Mary glanced up and smiled warmly when she saw Delilah. "I knew you wouldnâ

Later that night, Delilah lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, the memories of her parentsâ death resurfacedâflashes of their lifeless bodies, the sound of their voices silenced forever. She clenched her fists, trying to push the thoughts away, but they only grew louder in the silence of the night. Finally, she couldnât take it anymore. She slid out of bed, grabbed her handbag, and made her way quietly toward the door.Delilah knew she had to be careful. Her aunt, Mary, was usually a light sleeper, but tonight, Delilah hoped sheâd be resting deeply in her room.As she tiptoed through the hall, she paused when she saw the faint light coming from the living room. Heart racing, she peeked around the corner and saw Mary on the couch, snoring softly."Close call," she muttered to herself, quickly ducking into a nearby corner to stay out of sight.Delilah waited, holding her breath as Mary shifted slightly in her sleep. Once she was sur

Delilah wasted no time. She moved slowly, circling Marco as if she were stalking a prey. The music playing softly in the background set the rhythm, but it was her own confidence that controlled the dance. Her hips swayed, her body moved fluidly, each motion designed to captivate. She leaned in, letting her hands gently graze his shoulders before pulling back just enough to tease.Marco watched her every move, mesmerized by the confidence in her technique. She was unlike any dancer he had encountered beforeâthere was no hesitation, no doubt. She knew exactly what she was doing. Delilah didnât need to rush. She took her time, letting the anticipation build, as her fingers traced along his chest and then drifted away, always keeping a careful distance.Her lap dance was flawless, a combination of smooth, sensual movements and calculated control. She bent forward, her chest grazing his face as her hands trailed down his arms, then smoothly straddled his lap without missing a beat.He

The next few days were a blur of excitement for Marco. With some rare free time on his hands, he indulged himself, hopping from one bar to the next, surrounded by beautiful women and taking his pick of whoever he desired. It was the kind of life he enjoyedâfree from responsibility, with no strings attached.But the fun didnât last long. A message from his Nonno arrived, summoning him to the Donato mansion immediately.With little choice, Marco climbed into the back of his car, and Gino drove him toward the estate.Sleek black cars flanked them, one at the front and one at the back, escorting them through the winding roads leading to his grandfatherâs expensive property. The sun had barely risen, casting a soft glow over the mansionâs grand facade as they pulled up to the entrance.The cars came to a halt, and Gino exited first, opening the door for Marco. Without a word, Marco stepped out, straightening his jacket as he approached the mansion. A maid stood by the door, her posture

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Donato estate. Then, a yellow cab pulled up to the expensive mansion. Delilah, seated in the back, gazed out of the window, her eyes widening in surprise at the grandeur of the property. It was the first time she had ever seen a mansion so intimidating, so luxurious. Her aunt, Mary, sitting beside her, noticed the look on Delilah's face and smiled warmly. "Itâs quite a place, isnât it?" she said, her voice gentle but encouraging. "Your grandfatherâs best friend, Elder Donato lives here."Delilah nodded, not saying a word as they stepped out of the car and were escorted inside. The mansion was just as magnificent on the inside, with tall ceilings and marble floors gleaming under the soft lighting. They were led through the grand halls, their footsteps echoing, until they reached the dining hall where the Donato familyâs patriarch, the old man who was her grandfatherâs best friend, sat waiting.When they entered the roo

Marco led Delilah to a spacious room with rich, dark wooden floors and tall windows that bathed the space in a soft evening glow. On one side of the room, a grand library stretched from floor to ceiling, filled with books that looked untouched. The room smelled of leather and old paper, adding to the quiet intimacy of the setting.Once they reached the center of the room, Marco turned toward her, a faint smirk playing on his lips. In his mind, he recalled their last encounter. He had told her they would see each other again, and now here they were. The thought made him feel a spark of excitement, one he couldnât quite suppress, despite his cool demeanor. Even though he had ordered Gino to dig up information on her, Gino had come back empty-handed. No matter. Heâd discovered her secret himself."So," Marco began, almost mockingly, "the Holy bride works in a club, huh? As a pole dancer. And quite the experienced lap dancer too."Delilah stiffened but refused to show any reaction.

Delilahâs heart raced, but she forced herself to appear calm. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides, her nails pressing into her palms as she tried to steady her breathing."Oh," she said with an even tone, "so youâre his ex-assistant."Lucia's eyes roamed over Delilah, her gaze lingering on the crisp blouse and tailored trousers. A flicker of disdain danced across her face, her lips curling into a subtle sneer.Lucia chuckled lightly, the sound low and syrupy. "Yeah, you could say ex-assistant," she said, the word dripping with sarcasm.Her gaze swept over Delilah once more, as if assessing her worth. "It's nice meeting you," Lucia added, her tone laced with insincerity.Delilahâs lips pressed into a thin line before she replied, her voice carefully neutral. "Likewise."Lucia's gaze shifted to the wristwatch on Delilah's wrist, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. Her smile deepened, but it didn't reach her eyes. For the first time since entering the room, Delilah felt the full fo

Delilah nodded, letting Mrs. Madison share what she needed. She knew this was part of the process â allowing her clients to feel understood, safe in a way they likely hadnât felt in years."He controls everything," Mrs. Madison continued, her voice barely above a whisper. "My finances, my social life. I canât even call my family without him monitoring the conversation." She paused, swallowing hard. "And when heâs angry⊠well, you can see the result."Delilahâs gaze didnât waver, though her fingers tightened subtly around the edge of the table. She had seen women like Mrs. Madison before â trapped in gilded cages, their freedom stripped away layer by layer until all that remained was a husk of the person they used to be."Alright," Delilah finally said, her tone steady. "When do you want him⊠gone?"Mrs. Madison looked at her with a sudden intensity, her desperation shining through the bruises and swelling. "Anytime youâre able to," she said, almost pleading. "Iâm fine with any day,

At dawn, the room was bathed in a soft, silver glow, and Delilah moved quietly through it, careful not to disturb Marco, who lay sprawled across his side of the bed, still fast asleep. She had watched him come to bed late the night before, exhaustion written across his face. His steady breathing now filled the quiet space, a gentle rhythm that made her pause by the edge of the bed, just looking at him for a moment.After a beat, she turned and opened the drawer of her nightstand, reaching for the velvet-colored jewelry box tucked in the corner. Inside, her golden wristwatch gleamed in the morning light. She slid it on, admiring the familiar weight of it around her wrist.Turning back to Marcoâs side of the bed, she couldnât resist bending over to brush her lips against his forehead in a gentle kiss, her hand lightly trailing down his arm. The last thing she wanted was to wake him â yet, to her surprise, Marcoâs arms rose as if on instinct, wrapping around her waist in one swift mo

The next day, Delilah returned to the mansion as the evening sky turned a deep shade of blue. Excitement still lingered from her day at the cafĂ©, where Mrs. Layla had been generous, paid in full and offered praise that made Delilahâs heart soar. It felt like a small victory, a boost of confidence she hadnât expected but gladly welcomed.After freshening up, she looked around for Marco, hoping he might be in the kitchen making one of his simple, comforting dishes like chicken noodle soup. But the kitchen was empty, leaving her with a pang of mild disappointment. She wandered back upstairs, passing by the closed doors until she stopped at the library. Curious, she pushed the door open slightly, and there he was.Marco was seated at the large oak desk, surrounded by piles of documents. He looked utterly focused, a small furrow in his brow as he flipped through the pages. He wore a crisp white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up and the top buttons undone, exposing a hint of his collarb

Delilah placed the empty bowl into the sink, turning on the faucet to rinse it clean. As the warm water washed away the last traces of her midnight snack, she felt a lingering warmthânot just from the soup, but from the thought that Marco had saved it for her. He hadn't asked where she was, or if she was okay. Instead, he'd just known she'd be hungry, known sheâd need comfort. With a soft smile lingering on her lips, she turned off the faucet and dried her hands.The mansion was steeped in silence, each room cloaked in shadows. She tiptoed down the hall to the bedroom, careful to keep her steps light and avoid the creaks on the wooden floor. Marco lay on his side, the slow rise and fall of his breathing hinting at sleep. Delilah glanced at him, feeling a pang of affection that softened her earlier frustrations. She slipped quietly into the bathroom, the thought of washing away the evening's events almost as enticing as sleep itself.Under the warmth of the shower, the hot water

Ginoâs head felt heavier with each passing second."Something wrong?" Delilah asked, her tone deceptively sweet, her gaze narrowing as she observed him.He forced a nod, struggling to stay alert, but his voice came out in a whisper, "Just⊠tired⊠so tiredâŠ"His hand slipped from the wheel, and Delilahâs lips curved into a smirk, watching him intently as his eyelids drooped, his head tilting slightly."Maybe you should take a nap," she said, her voice barely above a murmur.Ginoâs eyelids fluttered as he struggled to stay conscious, a losing battle against the dizziness overtaking him. Within moments, his head slumped against the seat, his breathing deepening as he drifted into unconsciousness.Delilah waited a beat, watching his still form, then slid out of the car through the rear passenger door. She circled around to the driverâs side and gently opened the door. Leaning in, she examined Gino, her hand brushing over his neck to feel his pulseâa steady, unconscious rhythm."Good,"
The Capo's Deadly Bride    Chapter 41
Gino turned back to leave, but he froze, his face paling. There, only a few feet away, stood Delilah, watching him with an unreadable expression. His pulse quickened, the blood draining from his face."Mrs. Delilah?" he stammered, barely able to force the words out. This couldnât be. Just a moment ago, he had seen her walking away, disappearing down the street. Yet here she was, standing before him, looking at him like she had caught him doing something he shouldnât have.He glanced over his shoulder, back to the spot where heâd just seen her walk away. His mind reeled. "How did she get here so fast?"When he turned back to Delilah, his confusion only deepened. She wore a floral gown, a delicate clutch hanging from her handâthe complete opposite of the dark, fitted outfit he had just seen her wearing when she left Elijahâs house."H-howâŠ" He could barely keep the fear out of his voice.Delilah crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing as she took him in. "What do you mean by âhow,â G
