Chapter 1 FORBIDDEN

••ITALY, SICILY~ A RING••

•C'mon!!!•

•Yeah!!!•

•Go Angelo!!!•

•Go Ronald!!!•

•Angelo is taking the lead!!!•

•I bet he'll also win!!!•

•Who-ooh!!!•

The screams and cheers of people filled the fighting ring as it was Angelo Vs Ronald.

The fight ended with Angelo succeeding as usual. He always gets to beat his opponent, and at times, he ends up killing them right there.

"Staí bene {Are you alright}?" Raquel suddenly ran to meet him, handling him a towel to wipe his sweaty face.

"Sí {Yeah}" His deep voice replied as he sat on a bench. Raquel was actually his female best friend, she hailed from Spain.

"Who-ooh!! Bro made it!!" Brandon and the rest rushed to him, and Angelo chuckled as he drank from his bottled water.

Angelo Costello, just as his name, was one of the best combatant when it comes to the fighting ring in Sicily. He's got the deep hazel eyes enough to make a girl go weak on her knees and those thin tempting pink lips. Apart from that, he was also a gangster and thief, the former leader of Inferno, exiled from"Legend of Thyger" in Italy. Along him was his members.

He was known as the most handsome freak in Sicily.

"Will you let go of me" He said with all seriousness and Brandon chuckled as he moved away.

Ronald suddenly walked past them. Brandon and Raquel couldn't resist the urge to laugh and Angelo smirked as he stood up and sauntered to him.

"Arrabato, fai con lomà {Take it easy, are you alright}?" He asked, referring to Ronald who turned to him with a deadly glare. Ronald Reagan was another gangster in Sicily, and just like Angelo, he's also dangerous.

The wounds and bruises on his face were as a result of the fight earlier almost made Angelo laugh but he held himself.

"You just won today Angelo. Don't expect the next one so simple" Ronald replied, and walked away.

Angelo sighed softly as he itched his long jet black hair. He had a lip ring pierced on his lower lip, giving him an hot look.

"Angelo?" Brandon suddenly called from behind him.

"Let's just go, it's running late" He replied almost immediately before walking out of the ring too.

Brandon's eyes met with Raquel's and he shrugged.

Raquel sighed softly before leaving too.

••BRATVA MOB~ ANGELO'S SUITE••

Angelo walked into his suite and the first thing he did was to lit up a cigarette as he walked over to the window.

He smoked recklessly as he watched the mobsters from downstairs.

He suddenly coughed out.

"Shit! It isn't working" He cussed, throwing the cigarette on the floor as he stepped on it. He went into his walk-in closet to change into only a towel as he came out.

Till date he wasn't used to cigarette, he'd always cough or choke whenever he tries it, and today he tried it again but still same as usual.

He pulled the band he was using to hold his hair as his hair fell out in strands, making him look like a sexy demigod. He raised his right arm up high as the mark in his arm revealed.

He smirked as he touched it. "I'll get to the bottom of this" He muttered and dropped his hand down.

He sauntered into the bathroom next.

•• STILL AT NIGHT~CHICAGO~THE MORELLO'S••

Athena walked to and fro in the huge living room in deep thoughts as Lucas kept cussing at her every passing minutes.

"She'll return back don't worry, Lucas" She replied. Lucas who had gotten pissed off made to call out his men to go search for his daughter when Larisa walked in, laughing like a drunkard.

She missed her step and fell on Athena who caught her in time. "See, here she is!" Athena said as she walked Larisa to sit on a couch.

Larisa, the goddess had blessed her sea coloured eyes. She was the epitome of beauty. A 19 years old college student of Greece Institution. And the only daughter of Athena and Lucas Morello.

"Evening dad" Larisa greeted, and Lucas frowned. He looked so dangerous, smiling was no where near his dictionary. He doesn't show mercy even to his family.

"What's good about the night? What's good about it, Larisa!" Lucas yelled and smashed a broken bottle at her.

Larisa flinched and jumped up as she went to her mother.

"Dad, I went for the prom party in my school. We had a prom night and that's why I came back home late" She stated.

"And you left without telling me or asking for my permission!"

"Dad you were too busy. You've always been busy with your work! You always don't have time for me!" She yelled back at him, and before she knew it, his cold palm met Wu her face.

"Dad!!!!" She cried out.

"I'm doing this for you! If only your useless mother had given me a boy that would replace me other than Adam's ribs" He glared at her.

"I'm not from Adam's ribs" Larisa muttered. Athena urged her to keep shut or else he might do something to her.

"Oh yes you are" Lucas clarified and she went numb.

Lucas's right hand man suddenly rushed inside with papers in his hands, and whispered something to him before leaving again.

"These papers..." He started, throwing them at Larisa and her mother. Larisa caught it before it could fall .

She read through it and her eyes widened as she looked up at her father.

"Dad, no!!!"

"Oh, Dad yes!" Lucas replied almost immediately.

"Sign those papers to automatically become an heir to all my riches and empires before I die. You're are my only daughter who might become the next Capo of the Mafia" Lucas shared, and Larisa scoffed as tears rolled down her cheeks.

This was what she had always been scared of. She had always dreamt to become a medical doctor to save people's lives but her dad was doing the opposite.

He was actually against her saving people's lives instead of being heartless just the way he is.

"Dad I'm not signing this bull crap! This is pezzo di mèrda{a piece of shit}!" She shouted, throwing the papers on the floor.

"Can't you understand I'm doing this for your sake. I'm doing this to protect you from any danger that might come in the nearest future. I have many enemies!" He shouted at her.

Larisa scoffed, looking at her who was in support of her husband.

"Of course, you'll always side with your husband" She interrupted, and made to walk upstairs when Lucas's voice echoed.

"If you move an inch, then that'll be the end for you to stop seeing Giovanni Texas" His voice echoed.

Larisa froze on her spot immediately she heard his name. Her heart shattered into millions of pieces.

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
