A normal life. I had never wanted kids because that was something I could never offer. But standing in a place where I had just discovered I had a daughter, I didn’t care if she couldn’t have a normal life. I could offer her the best life she could have. “But when the time came to give her up, I wa
BELLA To say I was nervous was the least. I was having a full-blown panic attack. Adonis had accepted the truth and wanted to see her, which made me the happiest, despite my fears. I had thought confronting Adonis would be the hardest, but here I was, in front of Alessia’s door, thinking of how to
“He wasn’t protecting my daughter. He was protecting his niece.” I was grateful to him. “Eight years, Domenico.” I didn’t need to say anything more. Dom understood and nodded curtly. Chattering voices reached my ears, and I sprang up to my feet. My stare moved back to the mezzanine floor again. Bel
ADONIS It elated Orlanda and Dad to see me like always. They had bright faces with huge smiles as they turned to look at me, sitting around the long table as per our Sunday schedule, when I walked into the dining room. Eros was present, too, but his expressions were smug as usual. “Xander,” Orland
I frowned at him but ignored his comments. If I let his words bother me, I would end up beating him with Dad under the same roof, and I had no intention of losing control. “What will you do now?” Dad asked. “I don’t know. Bring her home maybe.” “Why the maybe in that?” Eros folded his hands over
“But you’re risking your life,” Helena yelled at Bella. Alessia seemed a little shaken but didn’t utter a word. She moved aside from the camera to wherever Valery was. “You’re my only child.” “I will come back to you, no matter what.” Bella wrapped her hands around her mother, caging her body in he
BELLA Chicago Outfit princesses back from the dead. We all know of the tragic incident that took place ten years ago, the attack that had almost destroyed the Mob organisation known as the Outfit, based in Chicago and some coastal parts of the West. Three of the members of Godfather Rossi’s famil
Maybe the reason Nonno cared for his daughter so much was because she was the only one of his children who had remained good over the years. Well, given the stories I’d heard about Mamma, I would say she was grey and not entirely black like my uncles. “You think he would try to kill Helena?” Val as
“I should’ve killed that kid when I caught hold of Durant. That fucking bastard! Even his son isn’t any less,” Julian groaned. “He’s just a kid,” I murmured under my breath. That was what I believed. Aleksandr was a kid whose father had done terrible things and got taken away from him. He could no
BELLA Checking up on Fabi and Mamma one last time, I headed downstairs. The events had shaken everyone today. I knew I had nothing to reassure them with, not until Adonis and Matteo were back. Dante and Julian, the enforcer, were on the couch, faces smeared with tension. Julian’s phone buzzed, and
“Bombs,” someone yelled out. We lowered ourselves under the table while Adonis and his men pulled their guns out. Many men and women rushed toward the exit, trying to save their lives. I pulled Alessia closer to me and Mamma let out a heavy gasp and peeked her head out from under the table. “Don’t
“He had huge muscles and there were tattoos on his hands.” He pointed at the back of his hand. “He looked scary.” I couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his face. So pure and innocent. “You have nothing to fear,” I assured him and he stepped out of the room. “You’re the new bride.” “I am.” Ther
BELLA The outdoor reception was Ros’s idea. She loved the sight of string lights and candles, decorating almost every part of the bamboo ceiling and poles, giving the venue a light yellow touch amidst all the whites and blues. The only part I hated was that she wasn’t here to bear through the eveni
“You taste,” I scraped my teeth just below her clit and she moaned loudly, “so fucking delicious.”***BELLAOh, God! This was too much. I was riding his face, desperate to match the movements of his tongue. I wanted to hide my face in a blanket, worried about how this overwhelming need looked on me
“So hot.”There was a mix of lust, hunger and desperation in her eyes that sent blood rushing all the way to my cock strained against the harsh materials of my briefs. I pushed my hand underneath the waistband of her panties, down the mound of her sex covered in a small scruff and held her in a tigh
ADONISHelena made her way to her daughter, pulled her aside and said something to her, which made both of them laugh. They exchanged a hug and then Bella’s eyes were on me. She gave a little jerk, asking me why I was looking at her. Only if I could tell her why. She was the most beautiful woman to
I released her hand, cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips on hers, making sure everyone saw who she belonged to, who had her for the life ahead, and who would protect her if they ever thought of hurting her. I would always be there with her. As her husband. As her protector. As everything she dese
