Alora's POV

“Well, are you going to say anything?” Dante’s deep voice increased the tension in the room. His piercing gaze locked onto mine as he stood directly in front of me.

I cast a quick, panicked glance at Vittoria, hoping for assistance. She subtly shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. My brow furrowed in confusion as I stared at her. She seemed to be sending me a silent message, one I couldn’t quite understand.

After a moment, her gestures started to make sense. She didn’t want me to deny Dante’s words.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Don Bellini,” I finally replied, pretending like I didn’t know.

Vittoria gave me a small nod of approval, her lips curling into a faint smirk. I managed a small smile back before turning to face Dante’s towering, brooding figure again.

“Alora, don’t act naïve,” Dante growled. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. You said you didn’t want to see me but preferred Marco or Luca. Is that a lie?”

“Well, I... I don’t know. It

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 31

    Alora's POVDante took his time, wiping his mouth with a napkin before leaning back against his seat and tapping the wooden table gently. His eyes didn’t stray from mine for a second.Deciding to test the waters, I arched a brow at him. "Are you sure that I can ask what I need and you'll give me? Or are you pulling my leg?"“Alora, I am a man of my word. That’s one thing about the Mafia. We do not go back on our word.”Great. I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. “That means anything I ask, no matter what it is, you’ll give me?” I nodded, peering at him from under my lashes.Dante chuckled, his deep voice giving no hint of what emotion he was feeling. “Well, a man of my word doesn’t mean a fool. I won’t give you anything you ask. I’ll only give you what’s reasonable.”“Fair enough, because I could still ask you for something stupid.” I paused, gathering my thoughts. “So what I want is…”Dante raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting for me to continue. I took a deep breath.“I just want a li

    Alora's POVAlthough I froze, Dante didn’t stop. His lips kept moving against mine, building momentum. I placed my hand on his shoulder to push him away, but he gripped them firmly in his own, pressing me further against the wall and pressing his body against mine as his lips continued to devour mine.I couldn’t believe it. I was too dumbfounded to react. His lips tasted sweet, like pineapples, but there was a hint of alcohol in his breath. Was he drunk?After what felt like hours but was just a few seconds, I finally gathered the courage and pushed him off me. I turned on my heel and bolted into the bathroom, shutting the door quickly behind me. I leaned against it, my heart pounding wildly in my chest like it would burst out at any second.What the hell? I placed my hand on my chest, trying to calm my racing heart, but nothing was working. I ran to the sink, turned on the tap, and splashed my face with cold water. What just happened?I scurried to the mirror. My lips and face were r

    Alora's POV"Don't let me stop you. Carry on with your 'training,'" Dante reiterated, laying emphasis on the word training.Marco and I just stood awkwardly, looking at him, trying to gauge his emotion. The guy's face was set as stone, making it difficult for us to decipher his emotions."Marco," he called out in an intimidating tone, sending chills down my spine."Yes, Don," Marco answered immediately."Get out before I lose it," he growled, his face calm as if the words came from someone else.My eyes widened. Why was he being so rude?Marco didn’t hesitate, nor did he glance at me. He just walked up to where he had thrown his shirt, picked it up, and walked out.When he got to the door where Dante stood, Dante gripped his bicep, pulled him harshly toward him, and whispered something in his ear before shoving his arm off.What could he have said to him? I wondered as Marco left, closing the door softly behind him. My mind started to drift toward possibilities but immediately halted

    Alora's POVThe silence stretched across the room as Vittoria stared at me, wide-eyed, her mouth almost touching the floor. I ran my hands through my hair, frustration washing over me."Vittoria," I called out gently, trying to coax her back to life because she seemed like she was out of this world.She blinked rapidly before exclaiming out of the blue, "I knew it! It all makes sense now. I knew it!"My lips curled into a frown. Knew what? I wondered, gazing at her as she danced across the room, still shouting out the words.When she finally calmed down, she turned to face me, a happy glint in her eyes. "How did you do it, girl? I can't believe this! You, my dear, are one sneaky bitch!"I furrowed my brows. "I don't understand you, Vittoria. What do you mean? How did I do what?"She shook her head, her ever-present smile still on her lips. "You came to the Mafia and didn’t even snag the younger or lower-class men. You just had to steal the heart of the Mafia Don? Goodness, what charm

    Dante's POV"How do you always get shot, even if it's a small wound?" Marco chuckled, but when he saw the glare on my face, his laughter stopped. He cleared his throat and then stepped back. "I'll go get a nurse to handle that." He gestured to my injury."Don't disturb any of the nurses," I snapped. "Let them take care of the injured men.""Okay, and then what about you?" He questioned, raising a brow as if I had just said the most stupid thing in the world."What about me? I'm fine. It's just a scratch; I'll be okay. And I have to go out now for the meeting at the club.""Uh, I don't think that's a good–""What?" I cut him off, my brows arched, daring him to repeat what he had just said."I meant that I would go now. That's what I said." He rushed out before practically running out of the room as fast as his legs could carry him.He was lucky. Nobody tells me what to do. I am Dante Bellini, the Don, and I decide when I want to go out and when I can't.A few minutes later, the door cr

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 36

    Alora's POVAs Dante walked into his bathroom, I groaned, gritting my teeth.Marco and Vittoria, you guys are so going to pay for this. Gosh, I can't believe they locked us in. Locking me in Dante's room? I wonder who among them thought that would be a good idea. We hate each other. This guy detests me and will not hesitate to kill me.I'm pretty sure what he meant when he was threatening me earlier was that he would kill me in this room.Dang it! I kicked against the bed, sending a jolt of pain to my toe. I bent to massage the toe. "Ouch! Sorry, my poor toe. I'm just so mad right now.""I didn't know talking to body organs is one of the character traits of a nurse... or is it just you?" Dante muttered behind me. I froze in my spot, realizing that the way I was bending was exposing my ass to his gaze.Just when I thought I would wake up before he noticed, he blurted, "Oh, don't wake up. I'm quite enjoying the view. It's so enticing. I guess this is why you wanted to be locked in, righ

    Alora's POVMy heart skipped a beat. "What? What do you mean by that?"Dante flipped through his book and then picked up his laptop, tapping away at it as if I wasn’t standing there, asking him something."Just eat, Alora. You like making a big deal out of everything. We need to sleep because it’s night. So eat and get some sleep."I breathed in relief. "Oh, thank God. I actually thought you meant what you said."He looked at me, his face cold. "Don’t worry, Alora. I don’t think I would ever go for someone like you. You're not very..."His eyes scanned over my figure before he turned away, as if he had just seen the most painful piece of art in a museum. His words sliced through my heart. Ouch. Why did I feel bad if he insulted me? I hated him, and he hated me. So why did I expect at least a compliment from him? Or just some approval of how I looked?I huffed, deciding to just do what he had said. My steps toward the bed were slow as I picked up the plate and filled it with food. I gu

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 38

    Dante's POVAlora’s eyes widened as her breath came out in gasps. Her face looked panicked, as if something had been chasing her in her nightmare. I knew it was something bad. I had leapt out of bed the moment she started screaming, trying to wake her up.But she just kept screaming to let her go, to help her, which meant something was happening. And I had known enough in my life in the mafia to know that this was not just a dream. No, this was something from her past.She tried to shift her gaze from my face and focus on the floor, but I didn’t let her. I gripped her chin firmly enough to keep her eyes on me without causing her pain.“Alora, are you okay?” I asked the dumbest question in the world while settling beside her on the sofa as she sat leaning back, her tired eyes focused on the ceiling, staring into nothingness.I held her arm, pulling her into my chest, ignoring the pain that shot up from my side where the bullet had grazed my skin. It seemed like she needed that because

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   The End

    Alora's POV I was crying again while Marco and Luciano looked at me, both panicked, a tinge of concern all over their faces. Vittoria was laughing her ass off on the couch, and Gianni still seemed unbothered, typing away on his phone while his AirPods filled his ears. Dante marched in, his face already twisted with concern and anger because he suspected what was going on. "What is it, baby?" I jumped into his arms, letting my tears soak his crisp white shirt. I felt sorry for him. He was just about to go to a gala, but at this point, I doubted he was going to go anyway. "What is it, Alora? Who? Just tell me the name." I lifted a shaky finger and pointed at both Marco and Luciano, who were shaking their heads. Once Dante’s eyes fell on them, they both pointed at each other. "It was him, not me!" "I have told you guys to stop. You're grown men, for shit's sake. You know what? You are going to get punished for this." "Wait, what? Come on, Dante, it wasn’t even that serious!" Luci

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 116

    Alora's POVI still couldn't believe I had two brothers. And that Bianca was my sister. We looked nothing alike.I was chubby; she was slim. I had black hair; she had blonde. I was good. She was evil.See? Nothing alike.Marco and Luciano, too, took it upon themselves to make me miss growing up with siblings. Yep, you guessed that right—annoying me."Marco, Luciano, if you don't get out of this room, so help me God, I am going to castrate you and feed your balls to my alligator! Get out now!"Vittoria screamed, making them stop snickering and start walking toward the door with their heads bowed.Both of them had something for her—I could feel it. But she hated Luciano and tolerated Marco, according to what she had told me."Luciano, give me the brush before you leave."Marco laughed at Luciano, who pouted and brought out the comb he was hiding in his pocket. They both walked out, and I turned to Vittoria, who huffed.“These men act like children. Tell me, how are they even in the Mafi

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 115

    Alora's POV"Wait, what?"The men holding Dante back stepped aside, moving backward with their heads bowed. All the men who had entered with Dad did the same, placing their guns at their sides, leaving the guests to stand up—except for a few, who I now knew were working with Dad.The elders. Not surprising."What the hell is going on? You're supposed to have them at gunpoint until I say we leave. What is happening?""What is happening is that you, Giovanni, have just been outsmarted. You thought you were the most intelligent, you thought you were the wisest, and now what? You have been reduced to nothing. Boys, you can come out now."Marco and Luciano emerged from the corner, Marco giving me a small wink and a nudge on my shoulder."I never wanted to betray you. It was all part of the plan—infiltrate him, get his men on our side, and win," he whispered to me, making me nod, though I was still dazed."Yes, sister, it was tough, but with your help, we managed to do everything as we shou

    Alora's POVNo.It couldn't be.Bianca froze, same as me, and everyone else, as we watched the man I thought was my father—and whom she thought was hers—walk up to us. He had glasses on, but I knew my dad, even if I hadn't seen him for some years, thinking he was dead.His words were still ringing in my mind."One of my children."Daughters? We were his daughters? Bianca was my sister? No. I shook my head. No, it couldn't be."What the hell do you mean, Dad? What do you mean by children? Do you mean...?" Bianca trailed off, disbelief etched on her face."Of course, Bianca. You are a very intelligent girl—catch up quickly. I am your father, and I am Alora's father. Just a few years apart and two different women, and I got both of you." He explained calmly, as if discussing the weather."Wait... so, all my life, when you left saying you were going on business trips, you were with her?" Bianca cried, tears slipping from her eyes.For me, shock was all I could feel—no other emotion. He ha

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 113

    Alora's POVI ran my hands over the delicate ends of the mask I was wearing. Black. Paired with a black dress, black shoes. Everything on me was black. The dress was floor-length and hugged my curves.This was never me. I don't think I had ever dressed like this before. But Vittoria said, "The sexier, the wiser." Whatever that meant.I was coming in with Luciano as his date so that no one would suspect who I really was.My black hair was covered up by a blonde wig. Everything about me had changed, and only someone who knew me extremely well would even suspect I was still the same person.Black lip gloss as well. I didn't know if I was going for a Halloween party or a masked party.This ball was by Bianca's father, Giovanni—to celebrate his daughter's engagement to the Italian mafia don. How he thought that was going to happen baffled me.Grand. Elegant. Those were the words to describe the hall. The crowds were gathered, showing off their finest. And thankfully, Vittoria's choice of m

    Alora's POV"Hey, little man, don't scare us like that again," I told Gianni as soon as I sat down by his hospital bed, where he was receiving his last infusion before being discharged.All in the same house."I didn't scare you, but that scary aunt—gosh, I hate her now. She just told me she wanted to show me something, and I followed, a-and—"My heart broke alongside his voice."It's okay, it's okay, don't say any more," I whispered, trying to stop him from talking. That kind of memory should be left behind. How was it that she had planned to kill a kid? It baffled me."Are you feeling any pain? Are you strong? Do you want something? I can get anything for you."Gianni rolled his eyes. Yes, he rolled his eyes at me. Again."Come on, Alora, I'm not dying. I'm just a bit weak, but I'll sleep, and I'll get stronger when I wake up.""If you're weak again, you should eat something. Let me go get something for you, alright?""No, I won't eat now. I'll eat later. Let's just—"A knock on the

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 111

    Dante's POVI strolled into the dungeon, a small smile on my face.They thought they had won. They thought we would never know. Unfortunately for them, it was too late.Luca, upon seeing me, smirked, making Carlos turn to me with a smug smile. They had been chatting as if they were in seventh heaven, not knowing what fate awaited them. Or maybe they knew, but they thought they would take my happiness away with it.Hell no."Nice to meet you again, guys. How are you coping in this beautiful place?" I asked as they dangled from the chains in the ceiling."We are enjoying it just fine, aren't we?" Carlos sneered. "Making funeral arrangements already?"They had no idea that we had caught Rosa yet, and it was going to be painfully exciting to watch them see her drown in the same way she had planned to drown Gianni. Fortunately, something had distracted her, and she left the bathroom. That was how—why—we met him still fine."Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry. There's no need for a funeral. Why sh

    Alora's POVThe world was falling apart, and it was all my fault. I shouldn't have kept quiet. I should have said something. All of this would have been avoided if I hadn't been such a scaredy cat. Now lives were endangered, including Gianni's. The one person I swore to take care of.As we ran down towards Vittoria's room, as the cameras had shown us, my heart was almost beating louder than the numerous footsteps hitting hard on the floor.Since the kid hadn't placed cameras in people's rooms, well, private areas, none of us knew what we'd find there.It could be an unconscious boy. A badly beaten one or, worst-case scenario—a corpse.I would never forgive myself if he was killed because of my stupidity.My nerves spiked as we ran in. Dante kicked down the locked bathroom door and went inside. Marco held me back from following them.I was the nurse. I was the one who was supposed to go in first. I glared at him. He probably thought he was safe. Ha! There was no way I was going to keep

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 109

    Dante's POVEver felt like your heart was going to be ripped out of your chest? Or that it was beating at 250 beats per minute? That was exactly how I felt as we ran down towards Gianni's room. I had been a fool.The signs were there, but I chose not to believe them. I should have been wiser. I am the Don, for goodness' sake. If anything happens to Gianni, I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself.The moment we barged into the room, it was all chaos, making my mind buzz even more. Clothes were scattered around, his gaming instruments lay on the floor, and blood—so much blood that I couldn't comprehend what my eyes were seeing.Worst of all, there was no Gianni in sight."Gianni? Gianni?"Silence.Utter silence. Except for the noise from the corridor as everyone ran around, trying to spot him or the shooters, if they were still around."Gianni!"Alora's voice was shaky. When I looked at her, my heart clenched even more at the sight of her red-rimmed eyes. Marco stood beside he
