[BOOK2]
They said life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. I think that’s bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong. I love fairy tales. I’m a bibliophile. In fact, I read about a hundred books a year.

And in my life? 

I don’t marry my prince charming.
I have to marry the big bad wolf.

I’m not Cinderella. I don’t have evil sisters or a broken family. Actually, I grew up privileged in New York. I get what I want—most of the time, anyway. But that’s just how it is when you’re the daughter of New York’s Italian crime boss: Don Alessandro De Luca.

Sounds like I'm a modern-day princess, don't I? But the truth is, in our world, I’m not free to do a lot of things. And the men in my life shield me from the family business.

I get it. Restrictions keep me and my family safe. But it gets frustrating how they think I can't handle it.

And now, I’m shackled to something I don’t have control over—unless I want my family endangered.

I'm arranged to marry the grandson of the Morelli Family—our rival family who had been after my father’s seat for years.

I would rather die than end up with the enemy.

But everything changed in the blink of an eye.

My prince charming died because of them.

Now, I can’t escape it.

Now, the only choice I have left is to marry the villain to save my family.

So how can my life be a fairy tale when I’m living in a nightmare?

Nevertheless... This villain will have to see.

I can't be restrained. I'm born to be free.

Gabriella's Hellfire: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance

Mariano was so stoked about my present last night that he thanked me in multiple forms of orgasms as soon as we got back to the apartment. The man's stamina is out of this world. It's like he doesn't run out of batteries or something, I had to wave the white flag in the last round because I didn't think I could take any more—to which, of course, I did.

He teased me about working out with him every morning because there'll be more nights like last night in the future. The promise in his words is absolute. I'm too lazy to get up early like he does, but if he goes on like this, I might just have to so I can keep up with him.

But with all the rough action, his aftercare is hands down top-notch. He carried me to the bathroom, drew me a warm bath, and bathed me gently—so gently, I got teary-eyed. I thanked my lucky stars that he's my husband. In our fucked up world, I could've ended up with some jerk—actually no, I don't think I'd let that happen.
