♥ Chapter 11♥

09:50 '' Alessio's house. '' Portevecchio.

Alessio Vecchio.

Three days later.

Monday.

She fell into a deep depression, almost killing herself. If it hadn't been for her friend Gabriella, she would have killed herself. Her parents were controlling, always wanting a perfect daughter with good grades. Isabella didn't go to university because she didn't have enough money or time. Because of the betrayal, she became even more reserved; she had always been an introverted person, but it got even worse after being betrayed.

She loves her curly hair and is always buying good creams to keep it healthy. She doesn't like to tie it up so as not to break the curls. Furthermore, she cares a lot about her friends but hates working in an environment where she has to be nice all the time. However, she does it for the money and to help her friend with the rent.

And she's a virgin.

Knowing that my beloved is pure has increased my desire to have her for myself even more. But I'm considering the possibility of eliminating those bastards who made my queen suffer, especially her controlling parents.

'' Anything else? '' I ask, looking coldly at Dante.

''I forgot to include it in the report, my lord. As soon as she left her parents' house, they continued to pester her, calling, texting, and ordering her to return home. But her friend threatened them, saying that if they continued to bother Isabella, she would report them to the police. '' He replied without looking away from me.

Like a well-trained soldier, well done.

'' Well done, Dante. Now, Saulo. '' I look away from him.

'' Yes, my lord.

'' Have you settled everything with that traitor? '' I ask, looking at him seriously. He knows what I want to hear.

'' Yes, my lord. Everything has been resolved. Since we couldn't get back the money he spent, we sold his organs on the online black market and got back twice as much. And the organs have already been transported to the customer who bought them. '' I cracked a big, mischievous smile when I heard those words.

'' Well done, Saulo. I knew I could entrust this task to you. '' The compliment.

'' Thank you, my lord.

I shift my gaze to the rest of my henchmen.

"I've called you here to inform you that I've found my future wife. "Everyone's eyes widen in shock.

Because you all know me, you know I've never wanted to get married.

'' Have you found someone? Could this be Isabella, my lord? "Cezar asked, very curious.

He's a good soldier, specializing in knife fighting, but when he picks up a gun, his enemies are in trouble.

'' Yes. She managed to get my attention, so I decided to make her the queen of the Portevecchio mafia. And the future mother of my heirs. '' Everyone was still surprised, but their expressions soon changed.

''Congratulations, boss! ''They congratulated me in unison.

'' I thank you. But there's another reason why I've called you here. I'm going to invite her to dinner, but I don't want the other security guards to know about her yet. So, I want you to take up your posts.

'' That's all right, my lord. We'll send you to the whorehouses and casinos. "Saul said decisively.

"Sir, can I ask you something?" my soldier Lim asked.

'' Make yourself at home. '' I watch him, curious about what he's going to ask.

''If you hadn't found your mistress, would you still have heirs? '' I realized that it wasn't just him who was curious, but everyone.

''Yes, I was already considering the possibility of a surrogate mother. But now I won't have to, because I'll have a wife to give me heirs. '' I reply icily, making them nod in understanding.

''Sir, forgive me for asking, but do you intend to keep only her? Or will you have others? "Cezar asked, uncertain.

''She will be my queen; I don't intend to have lovers. She alone is enough for me. Now, I'm going to see her. '' I got up from the sofa. ''Dinner will be tonight; take your places.

'' Yes, sir! '' They answered once again in unison, leaving the mansion and leaving only Dante and Saulo.

''I'm glad you've found the woman who will give you heirs, my lord,'' Saul said, with a slight tone of admiration.

''Saul, she won't just be a woman to give me heirs. She will be my wife. "I looked at him seriously.

"Do you intend to love her? "His question surprised me, but I kept my expression impassive.

"Perhaps. "I replied enigmatically, heading out of the mansion, with them following me.

Honestly, I don't know what it's like to love someone. I've never experienced that feeling. Me, the most wanted and feared mobster in the world, loving someone? That would be ironic. In the mafia, love isn't common. We marry only to reproduce, as was the case with my parents. My father didn't love my mother; he just used her to have children. He had several mistresses, but I don't intend to follow suit. She's enough for me.

However, there is a strange curiosity in me. A part of me wonders if perhaps, along the way, I might discover what love is. This idea is both fascinating and frightening. I've never allowed someone so deeply into my life, and the idea of opening my heart to someone makes me uneasy. But at the same time, there's something about the way she looks at me that awakens something inside me-something I can't explain. Maybe, just maybe, I'll discover that there's more to me than simply being the mafia boss.
