A woman believes she has found lasting love with her mafia fiancé, until his betrayal shatters everything she was promised. As the truth about his other relationship comes to light, she must decide whether to fight for a love that was never really hers or walk away from the dangerous world he rules.
He and Scarlet had been screwing for six solid hours. What a joke. I wasn't feeling well, so I came back early, forgot to text you. Maybe from hearing so many lies, I was now able to bullshit him without batting an eye.
Jax looked genuinely terrified. Next time, you have to tell me, baby. If you ever disappear on me, I swear to God I don't know what crazy shit I'd do. Promise me you'll never leave me.
I closed my eyes and didn't answer. After all, in three days, he would never find me again. The next morning, perhaps out of guilt, Jack said someone deliver an extremely rare pink diamond necklace.
Baby, yesterday was my fault. Please don't be mad at me. I barely glanced at the diamonds before tossing them aside. I picked up a different velvet box and handed it to him.
I'm not mad. This is my gift for you, but you have to open it in two days. Originally, I got him custom-made cufflinks. But the day I found out he was cheating on me, I threw them in the fireplace and
them with divorce papers. This would be the last thing I ever gave him. Jax took the box. Why two days?
Because it's a surprise. It won't mean anything unless you open it in two days. Okay. Whatever you say, baby.
Two days. The doorbell rang. When the door opened, Starlet stood there, her face drenched in tears. Pure panic flashed across Jax's face.
Baby, it's urgent gang business. I'll handle it in the garden so I don't ruin your breakfast. He immediately dragged her toward the backyard.
