[previously My Baby Daddy... The Don.] Enzo D'Angelo wasn't a good man but he wasn't evil. He was the head of the D'Angelo crime family and a cold professional shell of a man. No time for love and no time for weakness. But he needed a wife and a heir. Putting into motion the event where he hoped to find his potential wife, not caring if she loved him because he knew it'd be mutual that way and the marriage would be just like any other business deal. Sure he'd treat her well and she'd have everything she could ever want as long as it wasn't love. Then came along Luciana Rosetti who not only had captured his interest and soon his blackened heart but brought some baggage that lead to events that Enzo never ever in his life would have gone through for anyone else. But will this love last, will they over come her past and his own? Will their child be brought into a loving home or a broken one? Can a shotgun wedding and engagement equal love?

I glanced down at the picture again, already feeling guilty. "What's his name?" "Stefano Colombo."

Unfortunately for her, her brother owed some money and, unable to pay his debt, got taken. Desperate to save her brother, Alaya made a deal with a mafia boss. She just didn't think it would put her on the radar of a mafia boss more powerful and terrifying than the first. **Updates on Wednesdays.** #1 - toughlove 9/19/2020
