WARNING: This chapter contains explicit contentsMORENO’S POV“Your blonde angel looks beautiful. I must say that you have a great taste in women. I underestimated you. Would you like me to bring you a wedding gift”? Luis spoke over the phone. That bastard. “Stay away from her you fuckin’ moron, if you have a problem with me, let’s settle it face on don’t act like a fuckin’ weakling, what do you want?.” I said angrily.“You know what I want Don Moreno, hand over Diaz to me if you haven’t killed him as you claim”. Luis, just like his brother Diaz, was a bastard. He was not important to him. He just found the perfect opportunity to get in a fight with me.He's making threats to harm Bella, not like I'd let him do it. Fuck! I was getting weak, and I wasn't supposed to care what happens to her. I couldn’t risk losing her and going back to my meaningless, boring daily routine of a life. I was already beginning to feel some sort of connection with her.“I have every right to do whatever I w

BELLA’S POVWARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ACTIVITIES.I stood outside the door to Moreno's study, waiting for him to finish his phone call. I had been standing there for what felt like hours, listening to him argue with someone on the other end of the line. Finally, I heard the phone go silent, and I tentatively knocked on the door twice.I turned to leave when I heard him say, "Come in." I took a deep breath and opened the door, entering the study. He looked exhausted, with his hair disheveled and bags under his eyes. I knew I should have felt satisfaction at seeing him like this, but all I felt was a pang of sympathy. Despite everything, I couldn't help but feel compassion for this man who was clearly suffering. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't bring myself to enjoy his pain.He gestured to the chair across from him, and I sat down quietly. He started flipping through some papers on his desk, and I felt my heart rate quicken as I waited for him to speak. After

I was stunned by what Moreno said. He called me sounding all tense and worried, now he was acting like a completely different person. I was tired of his cold and hot behavior I had to go and confront him right now.I got up from the bed and headed towards his study, I opened the door without knocking. Thankfully he was alone. “I need to speak with you,” I said as I noticed he was ignoring my presence.“Leave! I’m busy” he said and I scoffed. “I should just leave? I think you have some explaining to do, you called me today sounding all worried now you come back only to confiscate my phone and stop me from going to school, how does any of that make sense? Why do you care if I'm in danger anyway? Good for you, you could easily get rid of me, isn't that what you've always wanted?” I said out of breath.For a second it looked like he was contemplating giving me a response. He took a deep breath and responded with difficulty “Please leave”.I felt my eyes beginning to well up with tears, b

MORENO’S POVI almost choked on my water when Martha asked Bella if she was pregnant. We’ve been having unprotected sex for months now but I’m sure she’s on shots. Pweeeh…..she almost got me there for a second.I shook my head at how nonchalant and casual Bella was about it. I couldn’t imagine a little child of my own, they were noisy and annoying as fuck. Thinking about little eyes staring at mine gave me chills, those eyes that could manipulate you just like a woman’s own. The idea of having to change diapers, deal with tantrums, and all the other things that come with being a parent filled me with dread. And then there was the thought of being responsible for another human being, shaping their future and setting them up for success. I wasn’t someone who could be a father figure to a little human.And I still haven’t decided what I am going to do with Bella so I wasn’t even going to think about that. Even if I wanted a heir, I could hire a surrogate. I couldn’t imagine Bella’s p

Hello readers, thank you for following the story so far. The plot is about to take a dark and intense turn. I made an effort to incorporate the elements of a dark romance, danger, suspense, and maybe a bit of romance. Keep in mind that the title of this book is “TAINTED LOVE” (A Dark Mafia Romance). What is the first thing that comes to your mind? If you believed the book was dark in the previous chapters, well, it has just intensified. LOL.This is not the type of happily ever after you've read in other books, at least not yet, the action has just started.I urge you to keep an open mind as you read, Bella’s suffering is just about to begin with this chapter as Moreno will turn into a completely different person, blaming Bella for his change, and as the Dominant control freak he is, he’ll try to put Bella in her place.I had to do a lot of research on psychopaths and the mafia to be able to portray this next part of the book, so please don't hate any of the characters.Remember to k
