Vowing revenge on those who have wronged her, Gabriela sets out to reclaim her family's rightful place at the top of the criminal underworld. But when a passionate tryst with the underboss of her rival mafia family leads to unexpected consequences, she must choose between love and power. Will she have to sacrifice her revenge in order to pursue her heart's desire? Who said women cannot become mafia bosses?

Chapter 1 One

Clang!

The sound of the gates closing was heard as a red haired lady stepped out of the prison yard. She had a bright smile on her face as she walked out to get her things.

"I hope we don't see you again Gabriela." The man handing her her things smiled at her and she chuckled slightly before collecting her bag.

She stepped out to the parSantos lot where she had expected her boyfriend, James, to be waiting for her but she was met by no one.

"Should I get you a taxi?" The worker who stopped next to her asked and she smiled at him before declining politely.

She turned on her phone and a slight smile crept up her lips as she looked at the wallpaper. It was the picture of her and James on their two years anniversary date.

She hadn't used a phone in five years because of being stuck in the prison after she was thrown there for no reason five years ago.

"James." She said excitedly as the person she was calling answered the call. "You should be here by now. Have you forgotten I'll be getting out of prison today?"

"No babe, I didn't forget but something important came up so I couldn't be there yet and I don't know when I'll be back. Maybe you should take a taxi home." He said from the other end of the phone and her excited face turned to a sad one before she hummed and hung up.

"Gabriela." A familiar voice called her and she looked up to see her best friend, Camilla leaning against her white sports car.

Camilla was wearing a white suit with the jacket hung over her shoulders. She looked like a business woman with a bright smile up her lips.

"Camilla." Gabriela rushed to her and pulled her into a hug. Camilla rubbed her back gently as tears of joy rolled down their eyes.

"It's so good to finally see you out of prison. I've been waiting for this day for years." Camilla sniffed as she wiped her tears.

"It's so good to see you and hug you. It's so good to finally get out of those prison clothes. Geez." Gabriela twirled and Camilla chuckled.

"I didn't know you'd be coming to get me. I thought James would." Gabriela sighed and the look on Camilla's face changed and Gabriela could tell something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to James?" Gabriela asked.

"You look lean, Gabriela. Weren't you fed well in there?" Camilla tried to change the topic.

"The food wasn't enough but I've gotten used to it. I can't wait to try home-made dishes." Gabriela smiled gently before returning to James's topic.

"What about James? You haven't told me about him." Gabriela said as she got into the car next to Camilla who already rushed in.

"It's..."

"Don't tell me it's nothing because there clearly is something." Gabriela cut her off before she could say nothing was wrong.

"Well Gabriela, promise me you won't throw a tantrum if I tell you." Camilla said as she rested her back and turning off the engine.

"I'm not like that anymore Camilla. I'm no longer a kid." Gabriela sighed and Camilla looked at her with doubt. "Trust me."

"Remember that lady you slapped back in the club that day and got you arrested for assault?" Camilla asked and Gabriela rolled her eyes before nodding affirmatively.

"James and her kinda dated after you left. They have been together since all these years and now they are getting married today. James is at the wedding so he couldn't pick you up to continue you guys secretly dating or break up with you."

Everything seemed to crash around Gabriela immediately she heard everything Camilla said. That couldn't be possible. She trusted James. He would never do anything of such to her but Camilla would never lie about something like that.

Camilla seemed to understand what was going on in her head so she took her phone and showed the screen to Gabriela who looked at it. It was a picture of her boyfriend and a lady smiling beautifully as she looked up at James.

Under the photo, a caption. "Soon to be newlyweds. James and Isabel."

Gabriela suddenly felt angry and she felt the urge to go over to him and beat the hell out of him. "Take me to him Camilla."

"What did you say?" Camilla asked her, shocked. "Don't tell me I heard you right Gabriela. Are you crazy? You want to wreck the wedding so you'll end up in jail for life?"

"I don't care." Gabriela frowned with her fists clenched.

"But Gabriela, this isn't right. There's nothing we can do about Isabel getting married to James. I'm not as influential as they are and your company has fallen." Camilla said nervously and Gabriela glared at her which made her gulp.

"If it's about the influence, whatever." Gabriela took her phone out of her bag and dialed a number offhand and it rang for a few seconds before the receiver took the call.

"Yes. Right now." Gabriela said before hanging up. "Take me to Starlight boutique please."

Camilla obediently did as her friend asked before she threw a tantrum. Camilla stayed in the car as Gabriela stepped into the boutique and got out after a few minutes.

She was dressed in a black shirt, white suit trousers and its jacket hanging over her shoulders. She had dark shades on and her hair was combed to one side.

She looked like a badass CEO who was oozing out a very dangerous aura. "Please Camilla, take me to the wedding venue."

"Why are you dressed like you're going to arrest them all?" Camilla giggled and a wicked smirk formed on Gabriela's lips as she hummed.

"Let's see what will happen when we get there Camilla." Gabriela said as she got into the car and Camilla looked confused but entered the car anyways.

"Don't do anything crazy Gabriela." Camilla sighed as she drove towards one of the well known hotels in the city. Dynamic Hotel.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
