The Day the Underboss Lost His Bride

On the day of the wedding rehearsal, I arrived at the Romano family's private estate only to find my fiancé, Matteo Romano, the future Underboss of the Romano Crime Syndicate, arguing with my best friend, Luciana Costa, about the carpet that would be laid down the aisle during the wedding ceremony.

Luciana chased after him through the grand hall and smacked his arm several times before he finally raised both hands in surrender.

"Fine, fine. Dark gray it is. Whatever you want. Happy now?"

Matteo's indulgent tone made several nearby capos and Romano family staff exchange amused looks.
