All she wanted was to save her dying mother. All he wanted was a wife to seal a deal that binds the Morano family to the greatest mafia family in Italy. But he needed a bride, then he saw her. Ruby Anderson was just a girl living in her little corner of the world until she got auctioned to a cartel boss and kidnapped by Massimo Morano, a feared mafia boss. Will Ruby be able to navigate through this dangerous path? Massimo could take a bullet for her and all she wanted was her freedom, not bullets, violence and gangs. "Let me go, Massimo. I'm cutting off this agreement!" "You'd fucking obey me, Freckles. The contract isn't over... not even anytime soon." He scowled, pinning her against the wall as she trembled at his touch.

The Mafia's Contract Bride Chapter Five
Massimo's POVTwo days. I had been inside my room for two days. The wound on my arm wasn't severe, but I needed those two days. Not to recover physically, but to figure out what Ruby was doing to me. She wasn't in my thoughts often, but when she was, it was infuriating. How could someone so small and so…insignificant hold her ground against me? I wasn't used to this. People either feared me or flattered me. Ruby didn't do either. And that intrigued me more than it should. I lit a cigar, then I heard a knock on my door. “Massimo.” My mother's voice called out. She had just recovered from the shock and all I knew she had already found out about Ruby. She was indeed nothing but a fake wife. Someone I don't love. It all started when I saw her, and I just knew I wanted to keep her. She is fierce, stubborn…like a spitfire. Interesting. I smirked, smoking my cigar as I ignored my mom's incessant knocks. She always wanted things her way, never caring about my opinion or choices. “Massim

Ruby's POV The sound of the gunshot still echoed in my head. My heart was racing, and my body felt frozen in fear. I could barely breathe as I clung to Massimo's arm, my fingers trembling. What have I gotten myself into? Massimo reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. Alessandro did the same, his expression dark as he stepped forward, shielding his mother. “Everyone get down!” A man barked. His voice boomed through the hall, sending people scrambling to the floor except Massimo. I crouched low, my breaths shallow. My chest felt tight as if I would collapse any moment. “Massimo!” The man's voice rang out again. I turned my head slightly, trying to see where it came from. My vision blurred, but I caught a glimpse of a woman standing by the doorway. She looked furious, holding a gun in her hand. Massimo looked down at me, and said, “don't stand up.” He whispered in a low tone that sent chills down my spine. The man stepped forward, pointing a gun directly at Massimo. My bloo

Ruby's POV My eyes opened slowly to a very, very beautiful room painted in soft pink. The scent of flowers filled my nostrils as I regained consciousness. Was I dreaming? I felt a headache as I let out a weak sneeze. Now, my eyes were wide open. Where was I? How did I get here? Thoughts ravaged my mind as I lifted an arm, to be sure this was real, because this place was too beautiful. I had never imagined sleeping on a bed like this, or waking up to a bright morning in this room. Masked man. Fat dude. Ugh. I sat up slowly as my palm met my forehead, glancing around as I squinted at the ray of light passing through the window. The door creaked open, and I flinched as the masked man walked into the room. “You’re awake, Freckles.” His husky voice sent a chill down my spine as he approached the bed. He loomed over me, his presence dominating the room. The mask made him even more intimidating, and I couldn't read his expression. “Why am I here?” I asked nervously, staring into his

Ruby's POV I woke to muffled sounds, my head throbbing as I tried to make sense of the darkness around me. A heavy veil covered my face, but I could still see right through it as my eyes slowly opened. The cold air bit at my skin, it felt as though I was naked. My hands were bound, my knees aching from kneeling on a hard floor. My breath came out in harsh gasps as I struggled to move, but it was impossible. Other muffled voices and low cries drifted around me as I tried to recall how I ended up here. I couldn't remember much, just a flash of my father's lifeless face, the gunshots, and then…darkness. There were some young girls kneeling next to me, but one would be about two centimeters apart from me. All of them at the same look, veiled faces, hands bound, heads bowed in silent terror. Like me, they were nothing more than products on display. I could hear the hum of the air conditioning as tears stung my eyes. I was about to be either bought or killed. A voice bloomed acro

Ruby's POV Life has to be kidding me right now. The smell of antiseptic hit me the moment I walked into the hospital. I hated it. I hated everything about this place. Most of all, I hated the feeling in my gut that something was terribly wrong. Doctor Sheila's call woke me up this morning, asking me to rush down to the hospital as fast as possible. The receptionist barely glanced at me as she handed over the phone. I had to call the doctor again, I had to know. “Ruby, your mother needs surgery immediately.” Her voice was calm, too calm. I gripped the phone tighter, my heart beating very fast. Doctor Sheila, one of the best doctors in Chicago, was hard to see face-to-face. I wanted to meet with her, kneel in front of her and beg for mercy. I swallowed the lump in my throat and spoke again. “How much?” I already knew it wasn't good, but I needed to hear it. “Five hundred thousand dollars.” She said it as if it were a normal amount of money. “Five hundred thousand?” I repe
