After being left at the altar, a heartbroken bride makes a shocking choice: she marries a powerful mafia don who vows to treat her like royalty. As she steps into his dangerous world, she must navigate rivalries, betrayal, and the lingering wounds of her past while discovering whether her new husband's devotion is real.
I just married your boyfriend. Let me borrow your title as his wife. I stared at the marriage certificate sent by Serena Bellini, my mafia boyfriend Adrian's childhood friend, froze in shock. We were supposed to get married today, yet the man who had texted half an hour ago that he was coming to pick me up was now someone else's husband. Half an hour later, Adrian arrived with Serena to explain.
Babe, don't get the wrong idea. Serena's basically one of the guys to me. She got a family job, but it requires marriage with a family capo to start. She really liked this job. As her best buddy, I couldn't say no. Don't worry. Once her job is secure, I'll divorce her and marry you.
Elena, you're not mad, are you? Of course not. Elena has never been petty. I wasn't petty, but a divorced man was damaged goods, and I didn't want him. A far more powerful man, Don Dante, was waiting for my answer.
Alina, I'm glad you're not angry. Alina, today is such a happy day. We should celebrate. Adrian says you're an amazing cook. I'd love to try your food. Adrian wanted to take me out, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal.
Why don't I help you make dinner here instead? Help? You can't even peel an onion. Just wait for dinner. He teased her, but his tone was affectionate. I stared coldly at Serena's fake innocence.
Celebrate what? What? Celebrate knowingly stealing my boyfriend and becoming his wife so easily?
