The lines that blur between love and war are often the only thing keeping you alive.

I wasn't a full Italian. My mother was a Russian, a female of the Bratva. To create peace between the Famiglia her family, the Bratva gave her up. 

My father always said I was born lucky, I would never have to marry for power. I could choose. And for a while, I believed him. For a while, I thought I could marry Leonardo Catelli.

Until HE, Marco Catelli, eldest son of the Capo of the Famiglia lost his betrothed. Until he rose to be the Capo Dei Capi, The Boss of all Bosses. Until he needed an heir, a wife. Until he chose me. 

My name is Aliyana Capello, daughter of Consigliere Sartini Capello and this is my confession. 

"Bury him, mourn his death. But come Monday morning you mine Aliyana." Marco

The story follows Aliyana Capello and Marco Catelli's life and the events leading them to the alter.

When Lorenzo Catelli is murdered, Marco promises to avenge his brother's death with the help of Aliyana and his siblings. But as the answers are found, more people in the 5th State are murdered. When a cold past comes back, Marco finally sees some light in his corner. But all is not as it seems.
Enemies are never far and few in the 5th State.

Forced into a war he never wanted to protect the one he loves, Marco must choose the extent of the crimes he will commit and the enemies he will make especially if that enemy happens to be his future wife.

Boss of All Bosses

 Luckily Papa didn’t hold grudges for very long and he dropped the subject after he made it crystal clear that under no circumstances was, I allowed to ‘disappear’ with ‘Fuckin’ Deno fuckin’ Catelli’ again. 


 Filippo been my father’s successor heard all of this. He was also not pleased, when he came to my room and asked me point blank, if something was going on between ‘Catelli’ and I. 


 I cringed because something did happen with ‘Catelli’ and I, but the Catelli was not the one he was talking about and I was in no mood to learn what happened to the daughter of a Made-Man who stuck her tongue down another Made-Man's throat. 


 SO, I smiled at my brother, after cringing and said, it was nice to have Deno around after Ren. Filippo’s face softened and I felt terrible but I told myself that what I said was true, and it was a better reason than the alternative.
