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.
Last night was our wedding night. I stayed calm. My eyes cooled and my voice hardened. You're overthinking it.
He married you, so he's yours. I don't share your nasty habit of coveting what's taken. Serena smirked. Hickeys marked her pale neck.
Now you know he's mine. Know your place. Stop chasing Adrian and let us fall in love after marriage. She stressed love after marriage.
Then, she brushed back her hair, revealing the bracelet. Pain pierced my heart. Five years ago, I got Adrian that St. Christopher bracelet at San Michelle That year, a rival mafia family shot Adrian.
He nearly died several times. I trusted science, but for him, I turned to God. For him, I climbed all 1,080 steps on my knees. My knees bled and ached for three months before I received it.
He cried and promised, It's my most precious gift. I'll wear it forever and never betray your love. Now it was on Serena's wrist.
She saw me staring and said, I thought it was special. Adrian said it was nothing, so he gave it to me.
