THE GANGSTER'S GIRL - CHAPTER 47&48
EARLIER THIS MORNING
Finnian woke up early, his eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light filtering through the curtains. He turned to his side and gazed at Seraphina, who was still peacefully asleep. A soft smile tugged at his lips as he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
Careful not to wake her, he slipped out of bed and quickly freshened up. After dressing, he grabbed the keys to one of his cars and drove to **La Pergola**, one of the most expensive restaurants in Italy.
Upon arriving, he spotted Marco and made his way over. The two men stared at each other, their cold eyes locked in a silent battle of wills.
“Alexander, do you love my daughter?” Marco asked, breaking the silence.
Finnian’s response was immediate and firm. “No.”
Marco’s eyes narrowed, but he couldn’t read what was going on in Finnian’s mind. “I already have someone I love,” Finnian continued.
“I knew that, but you have no choice but to marry my daughter,” Marco stated flatly.
Finnian leaned back in his chair, maintaining eye contact with Marco. “I can’t do that. That’s the reason I called you out here early this morning, Marco.”
“I’m listening.”
“I’m in love with someone else, and her name is Seraphina. I have no intention of marrying your daughter Rina. That’s why I’m proposing a deal to you.” Finnian smirked before grabbing his phone and dialing Jasper’s number. “You guys can come in now,” he said, ending the call.
Moments later, Jasper, Stellan, Rafferty, and Blue entered the restaurant, taking seats around the table. Marco remained motionless, his gaze unwavering.
“I know that as soon as I marry Rina, you’ll ki|| my father to take over the Italian Mafia. You know I have no desire for that. For the sake of your daughter’s happiness, you’ll keep me alive,” Finnian stated.
Marco’s eyes widened in shock. “What?” he exclaimed.
“But I’m here to help you take over the Italian Mafia and make you the head if you help me,” Finnian proposed, causing Marco to stare at him in disbelief.
Then, Marco burst out laughing. “I guess I was wrong about you, Alexander Leonardo,” he said with a smirk.
“What do you want from me?” Marco asked, his tone shifting to one of business.
Finnian glanced at Rafferty, who nodded. “The plan will be carried out on the day of the wedding. Before the vows are made, Jasper will take care of all the guards with Alessandro. Stellan will then replace them with yours, Marco, ensuring there’s no escape for Alessandro. I’ll protect Rina while Finnian handles the job of ki||ing his father,” Rafferty explained.
They all nodded in agreement, and Marco stared at them, deep in thought.
“How do you expect me to protect the one you love when she isn’t in this country?” Marco asked.
“Seraphina is with me. She’s currently staying at the mansion, in my room,” Finnian replied.
Marco’s eyes widened further. “Did you say your room?” he asked again.
“Yes,” Finnian confirmed.
“My daughter mentioned she’d be taking a look around your room while you’re out, so by now she would be in the room and…” Marco stopped mid-sentence, realization dawning on him.
“Seraphina!” Finnian exclaimed.
Rafferty, Stellan, and Blue jumped up simultaneously, rushing to their cars. They sped towards the mansion, praying nothing had happened to Seraphina.

THE MANSION
Rina stood there, staring at the girl whose name was Seraphina. “Finnian is mine!” she yelled.
Seraphina stared at her, unfazed. “He isn’t yours. He belongs to me, Rina. Finnian has been in love with me before you came along. That’s why you’ll never get to marry him,” she said with all seriousness.
“You ?îtçh!” Rina screamed, raising her hand to hit Seraphina. But Seraphina grabbed her wrist and pushed it away.
“Dare hit me, and I’ll show you what it means to cross a lioness,” Seraphina said, her eyes blazing with anger.
Rina stood there in shock, not believing her eyes. A thought rushed through Seraphina’s head before she smirked.
“What a great shame,” Seraphina said with a smirk. “I guess you didn’t hear me when Acacius was f-__-king me hard last night when you tried to disturb our beautiful moment. You should have heard when he explained how beautiful I was.”
Rina’s eyes widened in shock. “What!!” she screamed.
“You heard me right. Maybe you should try listening more next time,” Seraphina taunted.
Rina glared at her angrily. “You slut! How dare you talk to me like that?”
Seraphina shot back, “I dare because I can. You think throwing tantrums will make Finnian love you? Pathetic.”
Rina’s face turned red with anger. “You’ll regret this, Seraphina!”
“Regret? The only regret here is you wasting your time thinking you had a chance,” Seraphina retorted, her voice dripping with disdain.
Unable to take it anymore, Rina stormed out of the room and hurried downstairs, where she found Alessandro.
“What is it?” he asked, not bothering to look up.
“Get that woman out of Alexander’s room!” she yelled, her face flushed with anger.
Alessandro stared at her, confused. “What!!?”
“Her name is Seraphina,” Rina said.
Alessandro’s eyes widened in shock. Seraphina should be dead. He had ordered Jasper, Stellan, and Rafferty to ki|| her with Luca monitoring them. But he never heard from Luca again. “f-__-k!” he yelled, realizing the gravity of the situation.
He looked deadly at one of his men. “Get that bastard here,” he ordered.
Seraphina, who had already predicted this would happen, burst into the room where Alessandro was. Finnian, driving as fast as he could, was shaking, praying that Seraphina was okay. “Please, please be okay,” Finnian whispered.
Seraphina was dragged and pushed in front of Alessandro. Rina stood beside him, smirking.
“So you didn’t die,” Alessandro said angrily, glaring at Seraphina.
Seraphina met his gaze with unwavering defiance. “Surprised? You shouldn’t be. It takes more than your pathetic minions to ki|| me.”
Alessandro’s face went red with rage as he glared at Seraphina. Just as he was about to speak, the door burst open. Finnian, Stellan, Jasper, Rafferty, Blue, and Marco walked in.
Rina immediately smiled and rushed towards Finnian, but he walked past her, moving to where Seraphina stood.
Instantly, Alessandro drew his gun, pointing it at Seraphina’s head. “Take a st–”
Before he could finish his statement, Blue, Rafferty, Jasper, and Finnian pointed their guns at Alessandro.
A dark laugh escaped Alessandro’s lips. Marco stood there, staring at the unfolding drama. Rina looked shocked to see such emotion on Alexander’s face, which she had never seen before.
When Alessandro snapped his fingers, all the bodyguards gathered in the room, surrounding them, guns pointed at Finnian, Jasper, Blue, Stellan, and Rafferty.
Seraphina stared at Finnian, who was staring back at her, his heart filled with fear. Then she turned to Alessandro.
“You can’t ki|| me because I’m carrying your grandchild and Alexander’s child,” Seraphina declared with a smirk.
Though she tried to stay strong, fear lingered in her eyes. Everyone’s jaw dropped at Seraphina’s revelation, including Finnian’s.
But horror soon replaced shock when Alessandro smirked. “Really?” he said, and with that, he pulled the trigger.
