Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 260: The Secret Behind Our Wedding
GIANNA'S POV"Well, isn't this cozy," her voice dripped with disdain. "Playing mother and daughter."Ariel lifted her head, her body tensing. "Aunt Selene.""Don't let me interrupt," Selene continued, stepping into the room. "I'm sure you two were having such a meaningful bonding session.""We were just talking," I replied evenly, unable to ignore the malicious undertone in her voice."Just talking." Selene's smile was brittle. "How sweet. Tell me, Gianna, are you enjoying playing house? Pretending to be part of this family?""I'm not pretending." I kept my voice calm, but my hands clenched in my lap. "Ariel and I were spending time together. That's all.""Aunt Selene, we just went shopping," Ariel interjected, trying to lighten the mood. "It was really fun. Gianna helped me pick out some great stuff.""I'm sure she did." Selene's eyes never left mine. "I'm sure she's very helpful. Very eager to insert herself where she doesn't belong.""That's enough." I stood, placing myself between
Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 259: Don't Tell Dad
GIANNA'S POV"Thanks for today," Ariel started softly as we settled onto the couch in the living room, shopping bags scattered around our feet. She was still holding her ice cream cone, licking at the melting chocolate. "I really needed this.""I think I needed it more." I smiled, tucking my legs beneath me.Ariel had gotten her wish. Dante had finally allowed us to go shopping, though, of course, with a few guards trailing at a distance. But it was freedom. We'd toured the city, visited the park, played games at an arcade. I'd enjoyed every second of it.And it had healed something in me. Something young and wounded. These were experiences I'd never had, the kind of carefree afternoon that normal girls took for granted. My father had controlled every aspect of my life. Today felt like reclaiming pieces of myself I'd thought were lost forever."It was wonderful. Just... being normal for a while.""Thank God Dad allowed it," Ariel breathed, her eyes bright with relief. "I was starting
Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 258: The Secret That Could Change Everything
DANTE'S POVBruno absorbed this, his fingers rubbing against his temple."I don't want you to stop living, to stop loving, because of your loyalty to me." My voice was firm. "You're my brother, Bruno. But you deserve happiness too.""You're my first priority." Bruno stepped closer, his voice filled with emotion. "I swore on your father's deathbed that I would guard you with my life. That I would serve you faithfully.""And you have." I moved around the desk, clasping his shoulder. "You've served me well. You've been my most trusted man, my most trusted ally. Always there, always loyal. You've kept that promise. But I think it's time for you to live a little too.""Boss, I'm only alive today because your father took me in." Bruno's voice trembled slightly. "He treated me like one of his own. Gave me a place at the table. Gave my family protection when we had nothing. My father saved yours, and I swore I would serve you the same way. That's not something I take lightly.""I know." My gr
Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 257: When Love Meets Revenge
DANTE'S POVI met his gaze, my shoulders tensing."Exactly. It feels like I'm hiding something from her. Something massive. And I don't know how she's going to feel about this inheritance, considering..."I spread my hands. "Everything."Bruno moved closer, his expression serious but understanding. "If you feel this way, I think you should tell her. I think it's better to be honest upfront.""You're right." I rose from my chair, pacing toward the window. "I should tell her. But is now the right time?"I turned back to face him. "We're in such a good place. We just got back from our honeymoon. Things between us are..."I paused, shaking my head. "Perfect. And if I tell her that the only way I had access to this inheritance was by being married to her, that I planned all of this..."My voice trailed off. I pressed my palm against the cool glass, staring out at the estate grounds."She's going to think that's the only reason I married her. That it was all just about the money, about reve
Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 256: The Inheritance Is Back
DANTE'S POV"And then Grandma let me go shopping at the mall," Ariel's eyes lit up as she bounced in her chair across from my desk. "Like, an actual mall, Dad. With stores and people and everything."I leaned back in my chair, my fingers drumming against the armrest. "A mall.""Yes." She clasped her hands together, leaning forward. "And it was incredible. I got to pick out my own clothes, try things on without someone hovering over me. Grandpa even let me get my nails done." She wiggled her fingers at me, showing off the pale pink polish.A frown tugged at my lips. "Your grandparents let you go to a public mall.""Don't start, Dad." Ariel's smile dimmed slightly, but she pressed on. "It was fine. Actually, it was more than fine. It was normal. I felt like a normal teenager for once.""Normal." I repeated the word, imagining all the ways it could have gone wrong."Yes, normal." She sat up straighter, her chin lifting in that defiant way that reminded me so much of her mother. "I had fr
Forced To Be The Mafia King's Bride Chapter 255: He Chose Me
GIANNA'S POVI choked on my juice, coughing as Dante's hand came up to pat my back. My eyes watered as I struggled to catch my breath."Ariel," Dante said firmly. "These are matters between couples. It's inappropriate to intrude on a woman's reproductive decisions. That's private, and it's entirely her choice when and if she wants to have children."I blinked at him, shocked by how quickly he'd stepped in and how firmly he'd defended my autonomy.Ariel's face fell, her cheeks flushing. "Oh. I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, Gianna. I was just excited, you know? I've always wanted a sibling, and I thought maybe..."I reached across the table and squeezed her hand. "It's okay, sweetheart. I'm not offended at all. I understand where you're coming from. And when we're both ready, when the time is right, we'll think about it. But there's no rush. I'm still in school, still figuring out my own path."Ariel nodded slowly. "That makes sense. I shouldn't have pushed. It was insens

Gianna's POVI stiffened. "This is what's meant to be. Dante's not that bad.""I won't fight you on this." He paused. "If you say so."The doubt in his voice was clear.The music shifted then, a slow Italian melody drifting through the speakers.Niccolo's expression changed, becoming almost vulnera

GIANNA'S POVDante stayed where he was, perched on the edge of the bed, keeping space between them."Selene, you're drunk. This isn't the time.""No!" She grabbed his hand, holding tight. "I need to know. I've waited so long, Dante. So long."My breath caught."When my sister died..." Selene's voic
