Introduction

Annika Smit es psicóloga infantil y ha trabajado duro para ser la mejor que existe. Recibe una oferta de trabajo en Milán, Italia, en uno de los mejores hospitales, que acepta con los brazos abiertos, pero eso también significa dejar atrás a su familia en Sudáfrica. Dos semanas después de su llegada, encuentra a un niño perdido en el parque, sin saber con quién está hablando.

Raffaele Cattaneo es el apuesto rey de la mafia. Su ex esposa lo engañó, haciéndolo despiadado. No tiene tiempo para tener hijos, bueno, sus hijos, ya que le recuerdan su matrimonio fallido. Había contratado a muchas niñeras solo para que se volvieran más apegadas a él y no a sus hijos, es decir, hasta que conoce a Annika. Él le ofrece el trabajo de niñera, sin dejarle más remedio que aceptar su oferta.

¿Qué pasará si se enamoran el uno del otro? ¿Podrá Raffaele volver a confiar en una mujer? ¿Está dispuesto a olvidar el pasado?
Se enamora de la luchadora pelirroja que, de alguna manera, se las arregla para robarse el corazón de sus hijos cada segundo, y teme llevarse a sus inocentes con su estilo de vida.
¿Y Annika? ¿Y qué hará cuando descubra que el hombre del que se enamoró es el Don de la mafia? ¿Podrá aceptar el peligroso mundo en el que vive?

Chapter 1

Annika...

—No puedo creer que te mudes a Italia. ¡Está a mundos de distancia y nunca te volveremos a ver!— Mi mejor amiga, Anthea, se quejó por centésima vez desde que anuncié que me mudaba a Italia. La miré con enfado mientras sacaba un vestido de mi armario.

—Es solo por un año, y luego puedo decidir si quiero volver a casa o no; sabes cómo funcionan estas cosas—. Suspiré, negando con la cabeza. Me habían ofrecido trabajar en uno de los mejores hospitales de Italia. Se lo conté a todos hace tres meses, y desde entonces ella ha estado diciendo esto. Sé que está lejos, pero necesito pensar en mi futuro, y aquí en Sudáfrica no hay futuro. Quiero poder ayudar a mis padres, ya que todavía tienen tres hijos más en la escuela y las cosas son caras. Hace dos años, mi padre se vio obligado a dejar su trabajo debido a problemas de salud. Desde entonces, mi madre ha estado trabajando diligentemente como cajera en un supermercado local.

—Sí, lo sé, pero igual, un año es mucho tiempo, ¿y si decides quedarte allí y nunca regresar?— Me preguntó con una mirada triste en su rostro.

—Anthea, te das cuenta de que existe algo llamado visitar, ¿verdad?— Continué doblando ropa, repasando mentalmente una lista de elementos esenciales para mi viaje. Mientras esponjaba una almohada y me acostaba en la cama junto a mi maleta, ya podía sentir la emoción acumulándose en mi pecho.

—Lo sé, pero no será lo mismo que verte todos los días. ¿Te das cuenta de que desde que teníamos cinco años hemos sido inseparables?— Se rió. Sí, nos hicimos amigas cuando estábamos en el jardín de infantes. Ella fue la primera amiga que hice en mi primer día después de que otra niña fue mala con ella y la empujó de un tobogán. Estuve allí en segundos para defenderla.

—Lo sé, y siempre serás mi mejor amiga, aunque me vaya a vivir tan lejos—. Le sonreí.

—Sabes, he querido decirte que me encontré con Matthew el otro día— dijo. Sabía que estaba cambiando de tema porque las lágrimas empezaban a acumularse en sus ojos. Sabes que Anthea es una chica dura cuando quiere serlo, pero tiene un lado más suave.

Matthew es mi exnovio. Estuvimos en una relación durante tres años, pero hace una semana empezó a comportarse de manera extraña y se volvió cada vez más irrespetuoso conmigo, haciendo comentarios hirientes sobre mi peso. Pensé que solo estaba bromeando, pero cuanto más lo decía, más me daba cuenta de que no era así. El viernes pasado salimos, y se volvió un poco agresivo y comenzó a empujarme, y supe que tenía que terminar con él. No lo tomó muy bien y empezó a acusarme de tener a alguien en Italia.

—Oh— fue todo lo que dije, sin querer realmente saber del tipo que había cambiado en tan poco tiempo. Sé que tomé la decisión correcta al dejarlo porque mi padre siempre nos dijo a mi hermana y a mí que nunca dejáramos que un hombre nos maltratara de ninguna manera. No somos tan ricos como los padres de Matthew. Los dos somos de mundos diferentes. A él le gusta gastar y presumir de su dinero, mientras que a mí me gusta ahorrar.

—Parecía enojado cuando preguntó por ti— continuó. La miré y me encogí de hombros.

—Si no te importa, no quiero pasar mi última noche hablando de él—. Sé que quiere saber qué pasó, pero no quiero molestarla y meterme en problemas porque Anthea es el tipo de chica que mataría si alguien me lastima.

—¡Annika! ¡Anthea! ¡La pizza está aquí!— escuché gritar a mi madre, y tan pronto como mencionó la pizza, las dos saltamos y corrimos hacia la puerta. Sí, nos encanta la pizza, y siempre que compramos pizza, las dos terminamos discutiendo por la última porción hasta que acabamos compartiéndola.

—¿Estás emocionada por mañana?— me preguntó papá mientras me rodeaba con sus brazos.

Sonreí. —Sí, no puedo esperar. Quiero decir, los voy a extrañar a todos, pero nunca he estado en un avión antes. El condominio en el que me quedaré se ve increíble— sonreí.

Me miró con cariño. —Solo quiero que seas feliz y llámame si alguno de esos hombres italianos te hace llorar— se rió. Mi padre es muy protector, y sé que si lo llamo llorando, traerá el infierno consigo.

Pasé mi última noche con mis amigos y familia, riendo y llorando. Sabía que era difícil para mi padre dejar ir a su niña, pero también sabía que estaba orgulloso de mí. Miré la hora y vi que ya era pasada la medianoche. Decidí irme a dormir ya que todos teníamos que levantarnos temprano por la mañana.

Mi alarma sonó, avisándome que solo me quedaban unas pocas horas antes de irme. Me levanté rápidamente y fui a la ducha. No puedo creer que hoy sea el día en que finalmente dejaré este lugar y comenzaré una nueva vida en otro país. Empaqué las últimas cosas que necesitaba y me miré en el espejo una vez más. Llevaba jeans y una de mis sudaderas favoritas junto con mis tenis. Saqué mi maleta de la cama y la llevé fuera de mi habitación. Eché un último vistazo a la habitación en la que crecí y sentí un nudo formarse en mi garganta. Esto es todo. Estoy dejando mi hogar de la infancia para extender mis alas.

Bajé la maleta por las escaleras y miré el reloj. Ya casi es hora de ir al aeropuerto. Al llegar al último escalón, coloqué mi maleta junto a las escaleras y fui a la cocina, donde sabía que mi madre estaba ocupada preparando el desayuno. Al entrar en la cocina, sonreí al ver a mi madre preparando unos huevos y tostadas. Se dio la vuelta y sonrió en cuanto me vio.

—Parece que alguien está emocionada— sonrió.

—Sí, no puedo esperar para explorar Italia— sonreí mientras me sentaba.

—Aquí tienes, cariño; come— le agradecí a mi madre y rápidamente comí mi desayuno, luego fui a buscar mi bolso para asegurarme de que todo estuviera allí.

—¡Vengan todos! ¡Es hora de ir al aeropuerto!— escuché gritar a mi madre. Eché un último vistazo a mi alrededor y respiré hondo. ¡Esto es todo! Mi padre salió caminando de la sala y mis hermanos bajaron corriendo. Mi hermana se paró junto a mí y sonrió.

—¿Estás emocionada?— preguntó.

Asentí con la cabeza y sonreí. —Mucho.

Todos nos dirigimos al coche, y antes de darme cuenta, estábamos en camino al aeropuerto. —Estoy tan orgullosa de ti, Annika. Has llegado lejos, y ahora mi niña está extendiendo sus alas, lista para dejar el nido— dijo mi madre mientras se limpiaba una lágrima. Estábamos caminando dentro del aeropuerto.

—Gracias, mamá— sonreí, y me volví hacia mi padre, quien intentaba contener las lágrimas.

—Cuídate mucho allá y llámame si algún hombre coquetea contigo— dijo, abrazándome. Voy a extrañar esto.

Abracé a mi hermana y a mis hermanos gemelos antes de mirar la puerta de embarque.

—Esto es todo— sonreí mientras sacaba mi boleto.

—Te queremos— dijeron todos mientras comenzaba a alejarme.

Me volví y dije —¡Yo también los quiero!

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
