Alora's POV

We both froze for a few seconds before Luciano gripped my arm, placing me behind him and standing in front of me, face-to-face with Vittoria, whose weapon was still pointed at him. My heart was beating so loud, and my knees felt weak that I trembled, almost tumbling to the floor.

“Vittoria,” I tried to speak, but she didn’t let me.

“Let go of her, you fucktard.” Her voice was cold, stoic, as she commanded Luciano to step away from me.

Now, this wasn’t Vittoria, the girl I had come shopping with. This wasn’t the girl I joked with at home or who made fun of me this morning. This was Vittoria Bellini, the underboss of the Italian Mafia. And I was caught in the middle of her wrath, alongside my innocent brother.

“I said, step away from her,” Vittoria shouted, but Luciano made no move to back off.

I tried to sidestep him and go forward to talk to Vittoria, but he placed a hand on my wrist and pulled me back.

“You are going nowhere,” he growled in my ear. “Stay here.”

    Dante's POVWhen Vittoria had hung up the phone, I had nearly lost it. If not for Marco and Alfonso, who had held me back, I would have gone on a fucking killing spree in my own warehouse. I had walked out, and a clumsy fool had bumped into me. Marco was swift, taking my gun out of my reach before I could kill the fucker.The drive to the mall was done by Alfonso. "We can't trust him to drive and not kill us all. He's crazy at this point," he had told Marco. I didn’t mind. He was fast—just how I liked it.Now imagine rushing into the mall like a madman, my heart almost jumping out of my chest as I thought of what my enemies would do to Alora. Only to see Vittoria held at gunpoint by a strange man, and the same Alora who had me almost losing my mind, trying to fight her way toward them.I saw red. Not only because of the fool who I immediately assumed had assaulted her, but because of the two men who held her down.Why? They were my men. So why was I angry?Because one’s hand was hangi

    Alora's POVI learned a lesson last night: never make a deal or issue a challenge to a mafia don. Power and authority are everything to them, and they will do whatever it takes to rise to that challenge, no matter the cost.That is exactly what Dante had been doing.I woke up to go check on Luciano. I had insisted on sleeping in his room, but Dante had denied me access to his room for the night. His words had been: "You will sleep in your bed. He is not dying. I will have a team take over tonight, and then you will come by and check on him in the morning."Exhaustion was the only reason I had agreed. Because I’ll be damned if I agree with anything this man says again. I am done letting him tell me what I can or cannot do with my life.When I woke up this morning, I hurried through my routine. I was in a rush to get to Luciano, hoping he would be okay. I didn’t know how badly the gun had hit his head, but I desperately wished I could be given the opportunity to do the same to Alfonso.

    Alora's POVAlfonso shifted a bit to the side, placing the hands that had just been on me on the kitchen counter. Marco strolled into the room, a curious glance on his face as he stared at us."Is everything okay?"I gulped, seeing Alfonso pass me a warning look from the corner of his eye, as though he was daring me to say a word."Alora?" Marco pressed, scrutinizing my face.I tried to keep a neutral expression, although my mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts. Alfonso had threatened mine and Luciano's lives if I reported him to Dante or anyone else. Was I willing to take this risk and tell Marco?Maybe I should.Just as I opened my mouth, it seemed like Alfonso read my thoughts because I heard a drumming sound. When I looked, I saw his fingers drumming on the kitchen counter. But that wasn’t what shut me up. No, it was the murderous glint in his eye—a silent reminder of his earlier threat.A shiver ran down my spine, and I turned back to face Marco, forcing a smile onto my face."Eve

    Chapter 50Alora's POVI gulped, Luciano's glare burning holes into my face. I was trying hard to stare anywhere else but him, but he wasn't making it easy for me. My eyes darted towards the open window, into the backyard of the mansion where the garden was, and I tried to focus on the leaves blowing softly with the wind. But I could feel his eyes, feel his gaze moving over me, compelling me to look.Don't look, Alora. Don't fall for it. I tried to tell myself, although knowing it was wishful thinking.Between my dad and Luciano, I always tried to avoid the latter as much as I could whenever he got angry. I would always run to Dad and pretend to play or hang out with him just so I could avoid Luciano. No, he would never hurt me, but he could get really angry. His wrath was not something you would want to mess with.Unfortunately for me, there was no Dad today, and I could only endure his glare while praying for Gianni to stay in the room forever. The thought of Dad brought tears to my

    Dante's POVAlora stiffened in my arms, but that was the least of my concerns. I narrowed my eyes toward the direction she had just come from. Her brother? What could he have done or said?“Alora, is everything okay?” Dang it. I almost kicked myself when the words I just spoke registered in my brain. Why would I ask that when she's clearly not okay?But my girl seemed to be in the mood to rile me up. She pulled away from me and stood at arm’s length, then nodded. “Yeah. Sure, everything’s good. I just remembered something from a movie that made me cry.”Bullshit. I knew Luciano must have said something to her, and I was going to find out. “I know you're lying, Alora. Just go to your room. I'll come, and we’ll talk soon.”“Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about now, excuse me.” Before I could say or do anything, she whizzed past me and ran to her room. The door slamming shut behind her. Well, if she wasn't going to tell me what was wrong, then I’d find out myself.I stormed int

    Alora's POVRestlessness had hugged me like a glove ever since I ran into my room. I tried sleeping, but my thoughts were all over the place, and I kept feeling my stomach churn. So now, here I was, pacing back and forth in my room while humming a soft tune.It was doing nothing to calm me down. My pacing ceased when I heard a knock at my door. I trudged towards it and pulled it open. Luca stood outside, leaning against the wall with his hands resting in his pockets."Hey, Alora. Miss me?" He raised a brow and pouted, but I just rolled my eyes and walked back into my room."What do you want, Luca?" I asked in a bored tone, flopping down on my bed and lying facing the ceiling."Ouch, girl, you can hurt a man so bad, you know. Would it hurt to say, 'Yes, I missed you, Luca'?"I chuckled, sitting up to face him. "Why should I lie? You're the last face I wanna see right now.""OMG," he gasped, clutching his chest in a dramatic display of being hurt. "Well, I came to tell you that Dante is

    Alora's POVOkay, something terrible had happened. I mean, I was just with Luciano about an hour ago, and he wasn't like this.A black eye, bruised cheek, and a limp as he walked. Since when did head injuries cause this?"Luciano. Oh my goodness, are you okay?" I asked in panic and almost hit myself for being so stupid. He smiled softly but winced as he dragged his feet into the room.I jumped into action, peeling the covers off the bed and tapping on the empty space for him to sit, my eyes wide with worry."Hi," his gruff voice greeted.I blinked twice, my lips pulling into a frown. "Are you kidding me? Hi? Luciano, what the hell happened to you? You look like you just escaped death.""Alora. You always worry too much. I've told you to stop stressing at this age because—""Oh, spare me that crap, Luciano. What the hell is going on?"Luciano went silent, his eyes watching me keenly for a few seconds. "I'm sorry, baby. I've been a jerk."Luciano must be high on something. "Just tell me

    Dante's POVIs it possible for a man to feel butterflies in his stomach? Because if not, then I need to see a doctor as soon as possible. The minute our lips touched, I felt a warm simmer in my veins, taking my breath away.Even though I was the one who initiated the kiss, I froze for a few seconds before moving against her lips. All her struggles ceased as she lost herself in the moment—a moment I didn’t want to end.I bit her bottom lip, trying to assert dominance, and Alora let out a moan that sent a rush of heat to my groin. Fucking hell. Even Bianca could never bring out a response from me like this. What is this little nurse doing to me?After a minute, I reluctantly pulled away from her but leaned my forehead against hers, her warm breath hitting my face.I used my finger to pull away some strands of her hair from her face, then in a swift movement, lifted her to sit with her legs on both sides of me. She gasped, her legs hitting m

    Alora's POV"You like her, don’t you?" I asked Luciano, diverting from the topic at hand."Get whatever is in your head out of the gutter. Vittoria and I were only talking about you. She just met me by chance the other day and told me to meet with her here."Yeah, could have fooled me. I don't know why they're hiding the fact that they like each other. There's nothing wrong with it. If anything, it makes me glad that my brother has found a woman he loves."Back to earth, Alora," Luce snapped his hands in my face, making me jolt.Ignoring my glare, he continued, "In the meantime, don’t tell anyone about our real identity, Alora. There is just too much at stake, which is why I can’t leave Dad and follow you."When he said that, I knew there was a secret they hadn’t told me yet. And they wouldn’t.Because that’s how my life has been now—just secretive people and hidden truths.But that doesn’t mean I won’t find out.Just like I found out about him and Vittoria here today, I believed I co

    Alora's POVIf anything could have told me that Dante didn't like Anton, then the forced smile on his lips definitely did.Despite this, they gave each other a bro-hug."Man, you have been missing. Office duties?" Anton asked again."Yes, Anton. I have been very busy in the office managing a lot of things," Dante replied.If they were talking about the "office," it probably meant Anton didn't know Dante's true identity. Or maybe he thought I didn't know. Well, it was up to them.While I stood there, all I could feel were my nerves coiling at the thought of what Dante had in mind for me. Damn Luca—why hadn't he told me Dante had left the house? Or maybe Dante had caught on to us earlier than I thought, and there was really nothing we could do to escape it.The men kept discussing for a while as if I didn't exist, and I took that as my perfect opportunity to disappear. Slowly, I slipped down the hallway, moving silently like a pro.I was about two doors away from them when Dante, even w

    Chapter 70Alora's POVI was doing it.I was succeeding.I had actually escaped the tight confines of the mafia mansion. My legs were hitting the pavement hard as I tried to get away.Nobody was chasing me. Yet.But even as I ran, I felt like someone was about to pounce on me and take me back to the mansion. The look of disappointment and rage on Dante's face propelled my legs forward until I finally spotted a cab.Hailing it, I told the driver to follow Vittoria to the place she had just gone to. The device in my hand was indicating not only her journey but the time it would take for me to meet her.“Right here, sir. Thank you very much,” I said, handing the driver his money. Yes, this time I brought money with me.Although I was doing something risky by being here, a thrill was coursing through me. For the first time in a long time, I felt alive. The desire to explore the city hit so hard that I almost forgot my mission—follow Vittoria, record her, and send it to Luca.I didn't know

  • The Mafia Don And The Nurse   Chapter 69

    Alora's POVI walked into the mansion on trembling feet, relieved that I had managed to fool Vittoria into thinking I was fine.Then again, I doubted she would have noticed anything was wrong. Her attention had been glued to her phone from the moment she saw me until we got into the cars and left the mall.Enough about Vittoria—the real issue was, how did he keep finding me?I checked my hands and neck, searching for any bracelet or jewelry that could have a tracker, but there was nothing. I would have to ask Gianni or Luca about the different ways the Mafia tracked people so easily.Unless… he wasn’t tracking me through something on my body at all.Which could only mean one thing—one of Dante’s men was working with my father.That possibility made too much sense. My father had been finding me at the most unexpected times, even knowing about my private date with Dante in the garden of his mansion. Something was definitely off, and we needed to get to the bottom of it.But now, he had

    Dante's POVVittoria was a nervous wreck.Vittoria trembled.For the first time since I had become Don years ago and appointed her as Underboss, Vittoria trembled.It wasn’t something to take lightly because she was my Underboss—the person in whose hands I had placed my mafia.So what exactly was wrong with her? Why was she acting so off? Doing things she had never done before… going out at odd hours?I didn’t want to have her tailed. No.Loyalty was a very important aspect of trust and belief in my mafia. None of the top people were ever to be suspected.These were my family.But at this point, it seemed like I was going to have to go back on my word and send my men to find out what had Vittoria so occupied—occupied enough to be nervous when I called her to ask why she hadn’t been around much.The knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. I had been tapping my pen incessantly on my desk, my mind struggling to piece together what Vittoria was up to.“Hey.”Luca’s head popped in. “A

    Alora's POVDante is onto me. My dad is onto me. It seems like the whole world is onto me at this point.What the hell am I supposed to do?Maybe I can find someone to confide in. Yes, that’s what I have to do, I thought to myself as I paced up and down in a room in the medical bay. The nurses were in the other area.They had asked me why I was here when I clearly wasn't working much anymore—thanks to Dante. I told them I needed to practice something small and for them to give me privacy, which they had done, thankfully. I wouldn’t want anyone to see me in this state.I thought I’d been masking it quite well—the fear in my eyes. But it seems like Dante noticed.What the hell? Just how does he notice everything about me?I didn’t want him to know. Dad said not to make anyone suspect.No. I was not obeying my dad. I was just scared of what the outcome would be. His words still rang in my head even today."You are going to act like my beautiful little spy in that mansion. Get me all the

    Dante's POV"Where is Vittoria?" I asked two men who were in the gym. Normally, this was her gym time, as she didn’t train with everyone else."No idea, boss.""We don’t know, Don," they responded.This was the fifth time I had looked for her in the mansion. What is going on? Her movements had just been… weird and too frequent.The Vittoria I knew only went out when there was a mission. She didn’t even have much of a social life, had no female friends, or anyone she would want to hang out with. I know her first female friend is Alora, which is why she values their friendship so much.Maybe I could ask Alora about Vittoria? Girls gossip, right… so she’d know something.Who am I kidding? Both of them are the same. Ever since we came back from the date, Alora has been avoiding me. Now, I had taken it to heart. It is definitely my fault.What could I have said during the date that would make her so worried and scared of me? Damn it, I knew it. I shouldn’t have spoken so much. Now, I have

I wonder what could be delaying her arrival.I don't know what’s wrong with this girl. She just seems a bit off these days. But that is beside the point now. I need to focus on this emergency, and then I was going to ask her what exactly had her so occupied that I barely saw her, even though we basically lived rooms apart from each other.Finally, after another excruciatingly long wait, I heard a knock on my door before she pushed it open, strolled into my room, and slumped down on the bed like she owned the place."Who dares summon her royal highness? How mayest I be of help to you low—""Vittoria, this is not the time for jokes, okay? We need to do something now.""Oh, Alora, I'm tired. I didn't sleep last night.

You should also ask me where we were, right?" Gianni cut in, making my eyes widen.Is he having a death wish?"Gianni, stop!"
