The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal 56. Marianna
"It looks like I underestimated you, Marianna. You sure know how to dream big" "They say dreams are valid Nev. Do you know of a way I can contact him?" "Why should I tell you that? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to give you a weapon that could destroy us?" "For starters, I did save your son so you kind of owe me. Do you want to repay that favor right about now?" "I can take a bullet for you and we'll call it even but I'm not telling you shit about Schiavone" "Okay, I'll find out how to contact him on my own. I don't need your help" "Why are you doing this Marianna? Cris thinks it was your father who hit our warehouses so he hit one of Lombardi's. That's the reason your father sent men to our house. Why are you pitting them against each other?" "You say that as if they were close friends, to begin with. We all know how much De Luca hates Padre and vice-versa. I'm only speeding up things that would have happened sooner or later" "Did you have to use Cpris though?"

"I didn't think you'd actually come," Marianna says looking at Marco. My eyebrows shoot up in surprise. She was here to meet him? I was tracking down Marco because I needed to talk to him when Marianna walked in. I don't think she noticed it, but every head in here turned to look at her. In that dress, she looks fucking sexy. My groin stirred just by looking at her and for the hundredth time, I felt like an idiot. How can I still want her? She fucking lied to me dammit. Everything made sense after I calmed down. Well, not everything since I don't know why Lombardi would come after me when he started this bullshit. But it's clear father and daughter were working together to steal from me. "Wait, I know you. We've met before haven't we?" She asks shocking me for the second time tonight. "I'm honored you remember me, Bella. You look better than the last time I saw you" "You're actually Marco Schiavone? How?" "My parents gave me that name" "But you told me your name was Mark"

"No I don't" he replies without missing a beat. Clever bastard "I'll tell you a secret. Just between us men, I like my lips coated with their cum. It tastes so much better than lipstick" he has the audacity to look at Marianna's retreating figure while licking his lips. If he went down on my pussy he's fucking dead. I don't care what comes after his death. "What are you trying to imply?" "Relax, De Luca. I've seen how you look at her. From my perspective, I met her first so you wouldn't do anything if I decided to take her, and trust me, I would." He pauses, and then adds, "If the look in her eyes didn't mirror yours" "Why can't we talk now?" I change the line of conversation back to the reason I'm here. "I have to run. Make sure you come to my party, I promise you it'll be a blast. Literally" he adds before walking away. I don't know what he means but it can't be something good. Why is he throwing a party all of a sudden? Marco never does that. In fact, he prefers to keep to h

We need to find a way out of here. It's been over a week since Giovanni brought us to this place. True to his word, he didn't lock the door or threaten us not to leave but that doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. He didn't post any guards at the door but only an idiot would attempt to escape. There's nowhere we would go that he wouldn't find us. However, the longer we continue staying here, the more our lives are in danger. Giovanni could walk in any moment, shoot us and no one would ever question him. For all I know, he told Padre I died at De Luca's so he could sell me or take my organs. I wouldn't put that past him. Leaving means running forever and staying means waiting for death. There's no such thing as a better option. Only survival matters. And I'm done being a sitting duck. "Damiano?" I call out heading to the living room. The house is a small two bedroom with barely any furniture. It looks like a place where Giovanni or some of his men crash whenever they're free. Surp

I'm nervous but also excited at the same time. I've been waiting for this day for a long time now. Well, for a week but the days felt like centuries. I'm not sure why I feel nervous when I've had a week to prepare my speech. All I have to do is convince a bunch of men to take one man out. How hard can that be? I talked to Marco and he told me that he'd do this for me because he felt like I deserved a fresh start. Padre had sent me to London to meet a potential client when we met. It was at some dignitary's party where I had gone to seduce the guy so we could get some info from him. The guy was rude and ugly and I didn't want to do it so I passed by the bar first to get some liquor courage. Marco sat beside me asking why a beautiful woman like me would attend a party just to sulk. For some weird reason, I blurted out my life story to him. Of course, I didn't tell him who I was. Just that I was forced to do things I didn't want to do. He told me that if we ever met again and I wanted

Later as I'm applying my makeup, I wonder how this night will end. Padre left for a business trip earlier this week which makes me feel at ease somehow. Although Marco had promised not to invite him, he still has loyal men in the circle. To avoid a heads-up, everyone's invitation was sent this morning. It gives them enough time to prepare but not enough to call Padre back. Even if they do tell him, he'll arrive there when it's already too late. At least that's what I hope. I also refrained from telling Carina anything because I know what a blabber mouth she is. Her locations were a bust which means Padre isn't happy with her. She'd do anything to get back on his good side. I'd call her a people pleaser if I didn't know she was only trying to survive. At the end of the day, she didn't ask for this. None of us did. I pick red lipstick because it's hot and I like it. Looking at myself in the mirror, I wonder if Paulo was right. Is it too much? Would it be enough to convince those bast

Stepping out of the car, I button my suit jacket and look at Fabian who nods, understanding my silent message. I don't have to tell him to be alert. We're walking into a house we've never been to before and since I sent most of my guys to go look for Nev, we're kind of at a disadvantage here. Not that I expect a war to break out here or something but it doesn't hurt to be careful. The party is well underway. I don't know why Marco went to the trouble of throwing one when he rarely does that. Something's fishy and I'm hoping I'll find out what it is before it's too late. I still haven't figured out why he met with Marianna. Did Lombardi send her? If so, why? Marco only gets involved when there is a conflict that needs resolving. We try to avoid fighting because the aftermath isn't pretty but sometimes it can't be avoided. Like now, the only reason I'm here is to ask him to stay put when I go after Lombardi. I don't want anyone getting in the middle trying to defend that bastard. It's

"He just shot her. He killed her" she says referring to Carina. Damiano is kneeling beside her putting pressure on her wound but she's losing a lot of blood. I don't think she's going to make it. Even so, I still ask Fabian to ask around for a doctor. "Stay out of this, De Luca. None of this is your concern" Lombardi barks. He's bleeding too because Marianna shot him in the arm but I couldn't give a flying fuck. He could drop dead for all I care. I'm afraid for Marianna. If Marino and Russo decide to retaliate, she won't walk out of this room alive. Lucky for her, those assholes have moved to a corner, separating themselves from Lombardi. "I've always known what a bastard you are and this just serves to prove how right I was. How could you shoot your fucking daughter?" "Please, let's not pretend that she's related to me in any way" he scoffs and I want to finish what Marianna started. It would be so easy to kill him right now. He's not some kind of immortal being, if he bleeds th

She tenses and tries to pull away but I hold her in place. There's a beat of silence before she sighs and says, "I'm sorry for everything. I just wanted to escape from Padre so much that I was willing to do anything. I realized later that I could have asked for your help but I didn't want to depend on another man" "I wish you would have come to me, Marianna. I could have killed that asshole for you if you'd just asked" "You wanted to kill him anyway. Saying you would have done it for me is just your way of making me owe you. That was what I was trying to avoid. I'm not going to let myself fall into another man's control ever again" "No, I would have put aside my revenge and killed him for you without expecting anything in return" "Why?" she asks frowning "Nothing is free in this world. I know that more than anyone else. Why would you do that for me?" "Because you're mine to protect and I love you" She goes incredibly still for a few seconds before huffing, "Yeah right" "It's

Actually, I didn't come here for this or to pay respect to that fucker Lombardi. I just wanted to see if Marianna was okay. When I left her the other day, she didn't look well so I thought maybe I should check up on her just to see how she's holding up. And it's a good thing I arrived on time to see that bastard Annibale ogling her. Well, half the men in here can't keep their eyes off her but this one didn't even bother pretending he didn't want her. The motherfucker was halfway hard and I could only imagine what he was thinking. I've seen him a few times in some clubs around town. If he happened to get his hands on Marianna, I can't imagine what he'd do to her. He's got a sick, twisted mind and even though his connections might help get her a few clients, she doesn't need him. She has Giovanni. That fucker can run things without anyone's help. His reputation as Lombardi's right-hand precedes him. Even assholes like Annibale have to be wary of him. And despite everything, Marianna ha

This doesn't look like a funeral at all. I haven't seen a single person shed a tear or even look sad. Then again, this was to be expected. Everyone is dressed in black as is custom but instead of crying they're holding glasses of champagne and wine, toasting each other. If I didn't know better, I'd think this was a party, which works for me. I can take people's condolences but they shouldn't expect me to act like a grief-stricken daughter. Deep down I'm happy Padre is dead. I hope he rots in hell. "My condolences, Miss Lombardi. Your father was a great man and he will remain in our hearts forever" a man says. We both know he's full of shit but since he is one of the men in the file Giovanni gave me, I just nod and offer him my thanks. "Thank you, Signor Conti" "Ah so you do know me" "Yes, Padre told me everything about his business partners. I hope to continue working with you in the future" "The rumor is true then? You will be taking over?" "No, I won't be taking over" I l

I blink my eyes open. It takes a few seconds for me to recognize my surroundings which is funny because I'm home. At least that's what this house is supposed to be. My home. The place I grew up in and which should have a lot of memories. But the ones I have are those I'd rather forget. Growing up here hadn't been easy. Many are the times I wished for a family that would at least care for me. A mother that would tell me everything would be okay. I always imagined her taking my side every time Padre got mad and took his anger out on me. I try not to hold a grudge against my birth mother. I've never met her but there had to be a reason she couldn't be with me.Maybe now that Padre is dead...No. I'm not going down that road. Not when I have so much to do. I managed to get Giovanni to leave me alone yesterday but I know he's going to barge in here any minute now. I still can't believe he's dead. It all seems so surreal, like I'm dreaming and someone is going to wake me up soon. I

I take a bullet for her and this is the thanks I get. Why the hell do I still like her? I've met and been with a lot of women. I guess I'm drawn to her because I've never met anyone like her. She knows she's beautiful so flaunts it. She's unapologetic about what she did even though she should be asking for my forgiveness. Lombardi and De Luca organizations have been on opposite sides for a long time. I could easily take advantage of our rivalry and wipe her out. Even with Giovanni by her side, she's no match for me. All I have to do is convince their clients and business partners to join me. Seeing as Lombardi is dead, who would want to put their money in the hands of a woman? It wouldn't take much to convince them. But there's a part of me that hopes she succeeds so she doesn't have to be under anyone's control anymore. Lombardi never cared about any of his daughters. I'm glad Marianna has finally gotten her freedom. "How long until Nev gets here?" I ask following her into the hou

The appearance of Giovanni makes perfect sense. Every piece fits into the puzzle perfectly now. On my way here I kept wondering how she could have done it on her own. She only had Paulo and those two girls. Alone, they wouldn't have accomplished anything. Stealing merchandise from me required them to have a lot of money to begin with. They'd need trucks, a place to store the stolen goods and men. The kind that are trained and won't make mistakes. She would have also needed to pay them a good sum to work for her. I know she's Lombardi's daughter, but there's no way she would have had the money to do all that. Unless she'd been in cahoots with Carina. Now if they had my five million dollars, this could have been done easily. It wouldn't have been a problem. Except I've seen just how much Marianna hated her sister. She didn't want to live in the same house with her. Let alone striking deals with each other, I think they'd rather die than work together. But having Giovanni Balistreri on

So Padre is dead. Which means whoever gets to the house first, will have the upper hand. Most of the documents about shipments and deals are in a safe at the mansion. Everyone who knows that Padre is dead will try to get there before anyone so they can take over. The men that worked for Padre can easily be turned once they find out he's dead. They need jobs and would work for anyone who offers to pay them. Besides, anyone who refuses is bound to die. You can't be loyal to a dead man. Unless we're talking about Giovanni. He was Padre's right-hand so maybe he'll resist? Who will he pick? Right now he's the only one who can sway Padre's men. "How long until we get there?" I ask smoothing my hair back. I have absolutely no idea what I'm walking into. I don't know what I'll do if I actually get there first. Padre didn't exactly teach me anything about running an organization as big as this one. We all know how he looked down on women especially me. I would really like to give him the mi

I think I'm still in shock. Padre shot Carina. I shot him. He killed Carina. She's dead. I don't know why that is so unbelievable when this is what I was hoping for. Ever since she showed up at the house, she's been nothing but a pain in my ass. She even tried to kill me once, and I promised myself I would kill her instead. Why then can't I believe that she's dead? Before we left, I saw the light go out of her eyes. She was looking right at me when she took her last breath. It's the kind of look that will forever remain in my mind.We grew up hating each other. It was so natural to hate her because I thought she got the better end of the deal. While I was busy running around doing Padre's bidding, she was in New York, living the life I wanted. Doing what I wanted to do but couldn't. She had everything I wanted, which is funny because she thought the same thing. Carina wasn't one to keep her mouth shut. Whenever she wanted something, she came right out and said it. I know just how much
