Costantino

"Hm. Is he a friend of yours?"

"Yes."

Costa nodded, reaching his hand up to move a stray piece of hair from my face. "If you ever let another man touch you again, there will be consequences. Do you understand?"

He spoke so softly yet so ominously. His eyes held nothing but anger and promise, even if his movements were so gentle. The intensity between us was electric. His green eyes refused to break away from my brown ones.

"I asked you a question, Millie."

"Screw you. You don't have the right to stop me from hugging a friend."

Costantino Salvatore Accardi - Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down - he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider?

Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows?

"I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious.

"Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?"

"Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips.

"I only care about yours."
