WELCOME
NOT EDITED
Welcome to the world of the Delvecchis.
𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐅𝐈𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒
A strong, powerful, and dominant mafia family of five brothers.
But pshhh, be careful - their charm and boldness are not something to trust.
Each of them has their own unique personality and toxic problems.
The first book will start with Matteo Delvecchi. The oldest and the heir of the Delvecchi Dynasty.
And the only one who truly carried its weight.
In the cities he owned, fear didn't start with gunshots.
It started with a name.
You didn't need to know what he looked like.
You didn't need to have seen him.
If Matteo Delvecchi was involved, someone was already ruined.
If he was interested, something was already dying.
If he was angry...
...it was already too late.
Men disappeared long before they ever stood in front of him.
Empires bent before he ever touched them.
He wasn't born into the Delvecchi Dynasty.
He became it.
And no one can take it from him.
Warning: Matteo Delvecchi is not a person you should trust - he got more blood on his hands than his own body.
He's dark, dangerous, cold, and doesn't have any sense of mercy.
Regardless his life and actions, he doesn't think about anything else than the empire.
Till he meets-
BANG.
"Parli troppo, basta iniziare il libro".

Matteo Delvecchi (37)
Heir and Head of the Delvecchi Empire
"Let me treat you like a Delvecchi men-be carful once I start , I show no mercy "

"Wow. You have some type of I'm a dangerous man syndrome - Now shut the fuck up."
This is my first big project. I planned for weeks . I really hope you'll enjoy this.
Also *side note* this is my first ever mature |18+ book. I really hope it'll come out as good as in my mind- my vision.
AND (another one, thank you) ENGLISH is not my first language, so please forgive me for grammar, spelling, punctuation, or language mistakes. ( SOMETIMES THE GERMAN SPELLING IS THERE)
And Italian or any other language that is used in this book is also not a language I can speak or write,everything is from I-translate .
AND (another one, thank you) some actions, you don't have to understand because they are either doing it for the plot, for their purpose/satisfaction, or just for fun.
AND (another one thank you) in this book series , there is SMUT and there are explicit sex scenes ( Disclaimer: there can be much scenes in one book and in the other book less explicit scenes) BUT , I say it once more , BUT don't have high hopes or expectations- Because I don't know how to write these scenes and everything I'm writing things based of the books I've read- so please don't judge .
AND.
ok I'm joking . Let's start with the first book :
＄𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐅𝐈𝐀𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐓 ＄
"How did it feel to use generational money- which isn't even yours? And don't tell me: you didn't knew."
"I knew it. But I played along because I love money . And Power."
He took a step closer , his cologne catching my breath.
"You listed two things you can't handle."
"And you think you can handle me?"
"Oh- I can. I will. I want."
They didn't rise quietly.
The Delvecchi name was carved into the city through silence, blood, and contracts that were never meant to be broken.
They didn't need territory marked by walls ,their reach lived in debt, fear, and obligation.
Five brothers.
One empire.
People liked to believe power announced itself loudly.
But real power arrived uninvited, sat down at your table, and reminded you of what you owed.
By the time you realized you were dealing with Delvecchi men,
it was already too late to negotiate.
They didn't destroy families.
They inherited them.
