The Mafia’s Heir’s bride Novel – Silence suffocated the air as Donato, the eldest son of the most dangerous mafia king, stood at the corner of the lounge watching his father, Morano, who sat dominantly with a stern face. He parted his lips and said, “I want Luca to get married to one of the maids working for us since I didn’t see a reasonable lady around Luca,” he said firmly. Morano, who sat elegantly in his dimly lit bedroom, turned to face his son with a raised brow, clearly caught off guard. “Why would you bring up such a suggestion?” he asked slowly, his tone stern and questioning.
Donato stepped forward. “You know it’s our family tradition — as the first son, I have the right to choose a bride for my younger brother. And I’ve made my decision. Luca isn’t getting any younger.” Morano leaned back slightly, intrigued now, as he glared at his son, perplexed. It was true Luca wasn’t getting younger, but doesn’t this feel so sudden? “So which maid are you planning on marrying him to?” “There’s a girl,” Donato continued. “A maid. She’s beautiful, graceful… she caught my eye the moment I saw her. I believe she’s the right one for Luca.” The older man was quiet for a moment before nodding.
“Alright then. We’ll speak to Luca during dinner tonight. Does that work for you?” He didn’t want to snatch the right of deciding from his eldest son. His mansion had been quiet for some time now, and his heart was at peace. “Yes, Father. Thank you.” Donato bowed slightly, showing his respect, before exiting the room. Unknown to them, their conversation was heard by a maid, which was Alessia. She had only gone to drop a laundry basket when the voices pulled her attention. Her eyes widened in disbelief at the shocking revelation.
One of the maids? Married into the Morano family? she thought breathlessly. I have to tell Daisy! She ran hastily towards the kitchen, her long, thick brown hair bouncing against her back as she rushed off in excitement. Luca was known for his charming look, and the most handsome son among the Mafia’s sons. A devastating combination of wealth, looks, and danger. Women were drawn to him like moths to a flame. Almost every other night, he was seen with a different woman, whisking them into luxury hotels or having drinks poured in dimly lit lounges that knew him too well.
Sometimes, he’d come back home reeking of whiskey and perfume, his shirt half-buttoned, his tie loose, eyes tired but still burning with that familiar arrogance. At home, two particular women made themselves regulars — glamorous, bold, and overly confident. They often introduced themselves as just friends of Luca whenever anyone asked. But Alessia knew better. She had been serving as Luca’s personal maid for eight years now. She had been serving the Morano family for years now — eight long, quiet years under the command of the Mafia’s most powerful name. Her presence in their household wasn’t by choice, but by blood-debt.
Her father had owed the mafia boss Morano, the feared patriarch of the family, a large sum of money. A debt he couldn’t repay before his untimely death. With no means left to settle what was owed, Alessia was taken in under a binding agreement. She would serve the Moranos for ten full years in exchange for her father’s freedom from the grave. It was a cruel but legal deal in their world. A life given in place of a debt unpaid.
