Our Vendetta

A traumatic event places Mia Martinez in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Trying to run from her problems, but instead running into a whole set of new ones by the name of Giovanni Luciano.

Giovanni became the Don of the Italian Mafia at the age of 15. He's ruthless, cold-hearted, and fueled by hatred for one famiglia in the underground organization.
He spent the years building his Mafia to be the best, so when the timing is right he can take them down.

That time is now, and it starts with Mia.

My eyes snap back up to him. His hooded eyes watching me down the bridge of his nose. "Can you just tell me why I'm here?"

His eyes hardened, and his grip tightens around my throat. The gasp that was meant to inhale air being cut off from the sudden blockage. I stare up at him through blurry vision as my eyes start to water. My chest heaving while my mouth parts, but no sounds come out.

"I can," he grunts out as he releases his death grip. His hand barely grazes me as he snakes it around to the nape of my neck. His grip is rough as he pulls me into his chest. My body flushed against his.

Gio suddenly dips his head to the left. His prickly stubble lightly grazing my cheek. I can feel his lips brush my ear as he speaks, and I involuntarily shiver. "But I don't want to."
