Sorry guys made mistake with numbers.Chapter 6GabriellaEven though I went to bed late, I wake up before my alarm. I press the button to open the curtains, and climbing out of bed, I adjust the bathrobe I’m wearing while walking to the windows.“Dio,” I whisper when I see the breathtaking view of the sun rising over the lake.Noticing a balcony, I find the door and unlock it. When I push it open, a cold breeze sweeps over me. I step onto the balcony, drinking in the exquisite sight of the tall trees on either side of the vast backyard.It’s the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen.I take a seat on one of the wrought-iron chairs by a small round table and pull my legs up so I can cover my feet with the bathrobe.Crap, it’s much colder here than in Palermo.I don’t think my clothes are warm enough for the snowy winters New York experiences.Staring at the scenic nature and the guards scattered over the property, I suck in a deep breath as I try to gather my thoughts.Everything that’s

Chapter 7DamianoStanding out on the veranda with my eyes roaming over the backyard and guards, I don’t glance behind me when I hear movement.I recognize my mother’s steps, and bracing myself for a million questions, I turn to face her.She takes a seat on one of the lounge chairs, then says, “Greta says the girl is beautiful.”I move closer and sit down on one of the chairs. With my gaze resting on my mother, I mutter, “Aunt Greta is right.”“Did you take Gabriella for yourself?” she asks, getting right to the point.“No.” I glance at the open French doors before saying, “I’m going to arrange a marriage between Dario and Gabriella.”“Oh.” Mamma’s eyebrow flies up. “He’s such a sweet boy. He’ll be good to her.”“She better be good to him,” I mutter.“Always so protective,” Mamma chuckles.“Don’t tell her. I need to talk with Dario before she’s informed of the arranged marriage.”“Okay.” She takes a deep breath before letting it out slowly, then asks, “Is Stefano very upset that you

Chapter 8GabriellaIt took me the whole day to get settled in the suite, and when I walk into the dining room for dinner, Mrs. Falco and Mrs. Accardi are already seated at the table.“Where have you been hiding today?” Mrs. Accardi asks.“I’ve been unpacking everything.” I take a seat at the table and give Gerardo a tentative smile when he also joins us.Martha brings out the food, and when she places a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of me, I whisper, “Thank you.”“I looked for you in your room and left the Wifi password on your bedside table,” Gerardo informs me.“Thank you.”Good, now I’ll be able to check my social media pages.Crap, I’ll need an address for any promotional merchandise I get sent.I glance at Gerardo, then push through and ask, “Which address can I use to receive packages?”A frown forms on his forehead, and stabbing a meatball, he asks, “What kind of packages?”“Sometimes I receive makeup and skincare products to promote on my social media pages.”He t

Chapter 9DamianoWhen Carlo brings the SUV to a stop at one of my warehouses, I shove the door open and climb out. Straightening my jacket, my gaze sweeps over the area before I head toward the side door.The moment my men see me, they straighten up.Tommy rushes toward me. “We found the fucker trying to deal in Mott Haven. There were five other guys with him, but the fuckers put up a fight, and we had to kill them.”Nodding, I walk to where the drug dealer is sitting on the floor. My men have restrained him with zip ties and already gave him one hell of a beating.Stopping a couple of feet from the prisoner, I say, “Dealing in the Bronx and Brooklyn is ambitious. What made you think it would be allowed?”The man lifts his head, and when his eyes lock on me, they widen with fear.Immediately, he starts to ramble, “We were just told to sell in those areas. They offered us good money for the work. Please, I have a family. It’s tough out there. I just wanted to make a quick buck.”When

Chapter 10GabriellaWith Damiano home, I’ve spent the entire day in my bedroom making a skincare tutorial.Things were tense at breakfast, so I skipped lunch. When Martha came to check on me, I told her I was working and not to worry about me.Knowing I can’t miss dinner, I check my appearance in the mirror. I’m wearing a short, black cocktail dress with a low-halter top.“You can survive dinner with Damiano,” I whisper before I leave my room.I walk down the hallway, and as I come around a bend, my eyes land on Damiano, who’s coming from the other wing. I slow my pace so he’ll head down the stairs before me.His eyes only touch on me for a split second, and he doesn’t say anything.I haven’t interacted much with him, but it’s clear he’s a man of few words.I follow him down the stairs, my gaze drifting over his broad shoulders before locking on his gun.Even at home, where we’re surrounded by an army of his men, he’s armed.When I take the last step, my left heel gives way, and not

Chapter 11DamianoFeeling rattled, I walk to my mother’s private suite, and knocking, I wait for her to answer before I enter.When I shut the door behind me, I ask, “How are you feeling, Mamma?”“I’m fine.” She pats the space beside her where she’s sitting on a sofa near the windows. “It’s nothing to worry about, so don’t take your anger out on Gabriella.”When I barged into Gabriella’s room, it was with the full intention of killing the woman. However, before I could reach for my gun, I saw the same expression on her face I’ve seen countless times on Mamma’s.It’s a blank look that masks years of trauma, and it’s one of the few things in this world that makes me feel like absolute shit.I witnessed firsthand how Gabriella was mistreated by her family and Stefano. I can only imagine what kind of abuse she’s suffered throughout her life.I shake my head as I take a seat, and resting my elbows on my thighs, I rub my palms over my face.Mamma places her hand on my arm before moving it

Chapter 12GabriellaI was on my way to Mrs. Falco’s sitting room so I could apologize when I overheard Damiano and Carlo’s conversation.While I shamelessly eavesdropped, it again dawned on me that Damiano could’ve killed me twice tonight, but he didn’t.It gave me the courage to confront him about my future.Not that I got any answers.Deciding to apologize to Mrs. Falco tomorrow morning, I head back to my bedroom. I feel too frustrated to talk to anyone right now. It’s been a week since Damiano brought me to New York, and my life is still up in the air.He said he wanted to arrange a marriage between Dario La Rosa and me. I don’t know much about Dario, but I’m thankful he’s no longer available.The last thing I want is to marry a stranger.No, there’s one more thing that would be worse – returning to my parents.Maybe I can convince Damiano to let me go. I won’t be able to live a life of luxury, but I make enough from my social media accounts to provide for myself.Walking into my

Chapter 13DamianoDuring the helicopter ride to Manhattan, my thoughts turn to the night before.I caught Gabriella sneaking around the house after midnight, but when she just grabbed something to eat before heading back to her room, I returned to the sunroom.I spent an hour thinking about the satin robe she wore and how the fabric flowed around her body when she moved. I got glimpses of her toned legs and way too fucking sexy shorts.By the time I headed to bed, I felt agitated.When the helicopter touches down on the helipad, I’m pulled out of my thoughts.I help Mamma out of the aircraft and lead her to the elevator with Gerardo following us. I gave Carlo a rare afternoon off so he can spend time with his mother.We’re quiet on the ride down to the basement, and when the doors open, I see Vito and Emilio waiting by the SUV.They signal for the other group of guards that we’re leaving, and Gerardo opens the back door.Once we’re seated, with my mother between Gerardo and myself, E

Chapter 14GabriellaWhen the closing credits of Safe Haven roll over the screen, I smile at Mrs. Accardi.“I love the movie.”“I thought we’d watch it while Adia’s out with Damiano. He doesn’t allow anything with violence near her.”My curiosity gets the better of me. “May I ask why?”“Damiano’s father was a bastard,” she says, but before she can continue, Carlo comes into the sitting room.“Are you done with the movie, Ma?”“Yes.” Her gaze rests lovingly on her son. “Why?” “I want to spend some time with you.”She darts up from the armchair. “I’ll never say no to that.” Waving at me, she says, “Enjoy the rest of your night, cara.”“You too.”Once I’m alone in the sitting room, I walk to the shelf and grab the erotic book Mrs. Accardi made me read aloud last week when she played the prank on me.Sitting down on the armchair again, I curl my legs beneath me and open to chapter two.My eyes dart over the words, and as I read page after page, my heartbeat speeds up. When I get to a scen

It’s been one shit show after the other.I met Dario’s girlfriend at a ballet show earlier tonight and could see how much he already loves her. He’s fallen hard and fast, and if we don’t get her back, I have no idea what it will do to Dario.The drug dealers that grabbed Eden right from under our noses are either fucking stupid or brave. I don’t know Eden at all, but you don’t touch a capo’s woman and life to tell the tale.Angelo, Dario, and I are sitting in a helicopter while Carlo flies us toward a yacht where girls will be sold as sex slaves.Dario got the lead on the black market, and I can tell my friend is about to lose his shit.
