Part 1: Betrothed To The Mafia Lord story line

“Don’t make me repeat myself twice, part those legs for me, Bunny.” His deep voice which always sends my brain reeling due to how silky it sounds, washed over me slowly as he murmured quietly against my throat. ——— Forced to marry the ruthless mafia lord, whom everyone was afraid of at the age of eighteen, Sofia had no other choice but to follow her father’s wishes like a dutiful daughter was supposed to. While Luca Ricci only took a wife, because he wasn’t getting any younger at the age of thirty-three. She was the angel to his demons, the light to his darkness, the innocence to his sins… He wanted to protect her, since the moment he locked eyes with hers on their wedding day and saw the amount of fright brewing in it. He wanted to make her good for him, to mark her as his; with his handprints on her ass and his cum dripping off her face. To own her completely, to wrap his hand around her throat and do so many sinful things to her body. But he was the mafia lord, and danger just seems to be lurking around him, wherever he goes, and in whatever he does. He must protect his wife at all costs.

Part 3: The most popular chapters of Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 10

Sofia’s POV

I slowly ran my comb through my long, dark hair. My hair was a midnight black color and it stood out pointedly against my skin. It was also unreasonably long, but I wasn’t complaining. I wasn’t too keen about it either because combing it was so stressful. Other than that, I love my hair so much and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I got the hair for my mother’s mother, a woman whom I had only been opportuned to meet once, while I was five years, before she passed away. She was a really beautiful woman who had lost her whole hair due to cancer, leaving her bald at the time I had met with her. I could vividly remember her feeding Angelo his bottle while telling me different stories of her childhood days. That particular day was extremely special to me because that was the first time I had met with any of my grandparents, and the last time -till date. The rest of my grandparents were all late as well.

I combed the remaining untouched part of my hair as fast as possible before carefully braiding it into a long braid and tying the tip with a small ribbon. Once I was done, I quickly changed into a night wear which I had blindly grabbed. It consists of a knee length night gown and a knee length jacket like robe, it was a new, sexier set compared to the one I had back at home and I grimaced as I stared at myself in the mirror and noticed the way the neckline was dropping so low, half of my breasts were peaking out. The material was so silky, and sheerlike and it was almost completely clinging to my whole body. The part from the middle of the thighs downwards, was completely transparent and I breathed out a sigh as I tried to guess who had picked out this kind of night wear for me between my mother and Aunt Gianna.

Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 11

Luca’s POV

The fire had almost escalated into something way huge and tragic, but had been thankfully put off before it got to that point. Thick black smoke thickened the whole arena of the two story building which belonged to Philip, the assistant head general handling one of my numerous warehouses. From what I’ve been told, the top building had been set on fire in the middle of the night and the occupants there had all been able to get out and alert the ones living downstairs before the fire grew bigger. The firearms took extra long to arrive due to an accident that occurred on the road this early morning.

I turned towards Philip who was doing a very shitty job towards shielding how shaken up he was by what had occurred. His face was set in a harsh scowl, showing how pissed off he was, while his body language said another thing entirely.

“Philip.” I said quietly and as expected, he jolted upwards a little and puffed out his shoulders before turning toward me and lowering his head respectively.

“Mr Ricci.”

“Who do you think could be behind this?” I questioned him after throwing another glance at the house and the whole commotion going on there as burnt up stuffs were currently being cleared out, while the ones worth saving were being positioned in a different position.

“I don’t know, boss. I haven’t been into any recent disagreements with anybody that I see as a serious threat.” He replied with a sigh and I watched as he ran his fingers through his hair and puffed out another harsh breath from his mouth.

Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 12

Luca’s POV

“No! The guards stay. You can bring in your own guards if it would make you feel safer.” James answered in a smooth voice before I could begin to answer to him and I watched as the man’s eyes narrowed at me for a fleeting moment before breaking the contact and focusing his eyes on James instead.

“You thought you ate that, didn’t you?” The man asked James in a flat voice with a raised eyebrow and James only snorted not so quietly, which made the man's face morph into a slight scowl which only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing, leaving behind his previous relaxed expression.

He turned back to me and raised his drink in the direction of the guards standing a few feet behind James and I, “The guards need to leave.”

I didn’t take my eyes away from his face as I spoke audibly to my guards, “Leave us.”

I didn’t need to glance over my shoulder to know that they’d immediately bowed their heads a little in respect before leaving quietly as instructed.

The guards left and the sound of the elevator going back down faintly drifted into the office. The man then got to his feet and walked towards us only to stop a few feet away, he was almost as tall as James and I, his head was hairless, while the broadness of his shoulders and chest was really impressive compared to James and I who were leaning more on the lean muscles side, I wasn’t fazed one bit by all the authoritative vibe he was trying really hard to give off.

He was buff, yes. But I had no doubts about the fact that I could easily take him out in a moment. I might not be as broad as he was, but I was as fast as a hare and my reflexes were a direct gift from God with how smooth they were.

Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 13

Luca’s POV

“That went better than I expected,” James stated as the car slowly pulled out of the Monte’s premises, into the busy streets once again. I stared straight at my flexing fingers on my thighs, completely agreeing with James.

“It did go better than I expected. I half expected him to insist on not wanting to make peace, or even pull a gun out on us after requesting I send the guards out of the office.” I mused audibly with a small shake of my head before letting my head fall back against the soft, leather seat’s headrest.

“He admitted to having already planned to attack you…” James said slowly before slowly trailing off, leaving the unfinished sentence hanging.

“He knows he’d still never have been able to catch me unprepared.” I reminded James who only shrugged and threw his head against the head rest before pulling his tie loose and popping open his first three buttons. The tinted glass demarcation between our side of the car and the driver’s part gave us all the privacy we could even need.

“He still had the audacity to admit it to your face, he sure does have some guts on him.” James continued and I brushed him off with a wave of my hand.

“Everyone in the mafia has different ways of trying to leave an impact on other people, perhaps that was his own way of leaving an impact behind.”

“Hm. I’d still kept an eye on him for a while, starting from tonight.” James informed me and I nodded my head once.

“You do that, for everyone’s good.”

“How’s your little wife?” James suddenly asked and I blinked once, completely taken aback by the randomness of the question.

Betrothed To The Mafia Lord Chapter 14

Luca’s POV

I typed in my complete schedule for the next day into my phone and set alarms on each one just as the car stopped outside the huge gates of the building in which I lived. A few seconds after the guards behind the other side of the gate  confirmed who it was at this side of the gates, the gate slowly automatically started to slide open by a button and the driver eased into the compound while the gates slid close and got locked.

It was some minutes away from twelve a.m and I had no doubts that Sofia would have already been fast asleep by now I had been held back in the office by a lot of things, and lastly, the chick that had first sucked me off before riding me like her life depended on it, right there on my office chair.

The door got pulled open by one of the guards and I stepped out of the car and stood outside the door while scanning my eyes around the parking lot for a few seconds before flicking my wrist towards one of the guards in request for my briefcase which got handed to me in an instant.

The driver got down from his side of the car and came to stand a few feet away from me. He was a lean and tall dude who was a little over twenty five. A few years ago, his father, a friend of my late father, had pleaded with me to let him work directly with me. I had refused at first but later reconsidered and decided to grant him a post as my personal driver since I couldn’t possibly give him a job as one of my bodyguards.

Bodyguards who worked for me had to be well trained and pass a whole lot of tests before they could be declared as a bodyguard. It was a huge honor for any man to become a bodyguard here in the mafia and almost everyone wants to become one, but only a few manage to pass the complete tests.

“Same time tomorrow, Mr Ricci?” He asked me and I watched as he rubbed his hands against themselves while puffing out a long breath as he waited for my reply.

“Six a.m, yes.” I replied as I turned around and made my way away from the parking lot, towards the main house. The building was a huge duplex which consists of extremely wild rooms. I had built the house myself some time after I had clocked twenty five, and moved right in immediately. The house I had grown up in, my father’s house, was big but not as big as this, it was currently empty as I already had it reserved for a certain purpose.

Seconds later, I heard a noise outside the door.

I took off my coat and walked out of the room in a red slip dress.

"Honey, I really missed you!"  I wrapped my arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips.

Shane pushed me away, eyeing me up and down.  I noticed that he was in a trance for a moment.

Truthfully, I was happy, thinking that he might like seeing me in such an outfit.

"Why are you dressed like that?"

he asked, walking to the sofa to sit down.

"Do you remember what day it is today?"  I asked, sitting next to him, hoping that he knew the answer.

It was late into the night, and the lights inside the Lu family villa shone brightly, a stark contrast amongst the otherwise dark street.

As she stood in front of the windows looking out, Janessa Qiu made her last call to Rayan Lu.  After a few rings, the call was abruptly ended, as she expected.  She took a few deep breaths to steady herself before flinging the phone aside, unwrapping her bathrobe, and stepping into the steaming bathtub.  She closed her eyes to rest.

The warmth of the water calmed her, and her eyelids soon grew heavy.

A few years back, her father passed away, and now, her mother was seriously ill.  This made her Uncle Aydin started to cause trouble for them.  She had been working a few days in a row and she was exhausted by now.

Before she could fall into a deep sleep, she could vaguely make out dull footsteps from outside the room.  It seemed close by, but she couldn't bring herself to open her eyes and step out of the bathtub.

"Okay."  Nancy Ning nodded.

In the dimly lit corridor, Thea Russell, slightly tipsy, leaned against the cool wall, her eyes fixed on the approaching figure of a man.

Tall and lean, he had a narrow waist and a charming derriere.

Then she looked at his face...

The male escorts at this club were renowned for their looks, and he was no exception.

As a man in his thirties, he was incredibly handsome!

Thea couldn't resist herself and threw herself into his arms.  She had been forced into an arranged marriage by her family, so why not spend money to enjoy the company of a handsome male escort?

"One thousand dollars," she boldly declared while gazing up at him.

Holding the man in front of her, Thea raised her head and made a price.

Colton Reynolds, initially searching for someone, was suddenly enveloped by the embrace of a young woman.  Her warmth and the scent of alcohol on her breath made him furrow his brow.  Just as he was about to push her away, he glanced at her and realized she looked oddly familiar.

With her bag pulling her back down to a slouch, Cassie Bo blinked drowsily.  "Alice, how long will it take for us to get there already?  I feel terrible," she whined exhaustedly.  Her arms were already lying limp on her sides.

Chapter 1 Our man

Chapter 1

"Drive and don't make a stupid action", after hearing that d*mn cold voice of his, I fearlessly raised my right hand and made an attack but our man is really good because he stopped my hand and He was about to flip me over but I lifted my body with all my strength and kicked his shoulder so he let go of me.

I left the driver's seat and was about to attack him again when his bleeding body appeared to me.  It looks like he was hit in his left shoulder and stabbed in his right stomach.  Suddenly I closed my eyes and calmed down my body because it suddenly became aggressive.

Not now.  When he calmed down, I slowly opened my eyes and saw his pale face.

"I'll take you to the hospital"

"Don't.  Just drive and take me to my c-condo.  I'll g-give you the address"

"I'll take you to the hospital to treat you"

"I don't trust doctors.  They're all stupid"

I can't believe this man.  In his situation, he still has the urge to curse and insult the specialists.  I was just alarmed because I saw blood flowing from his shoulder.
