A woman mocked for her weight catches the eye of a powerful mafia don who sees her differently from everyone else. As he pulls her into his dangerous world and claims her as his wife, she must navigate rival criminals, judgmental outsiders, and her own doubts about whether his fierce devotion is real.
I had this made for you. Vito had hinted. I'd been secretly thrilled. I'll drop the weight.
I swear I'll make it fit. No, no. It's custom-tailored for you. You don't need to lose a single pound.
If I hadn't over-slashed him, I gave up on losing weight entirely. At his suggestion, I would have shown up at the harbor in casual clothes today, asking for my gown in front of everyone, only to find it several sizes too small.
The Don's daughter would have been publicly humiliated, and my father would have lost all respect. By then, the other women had surrounded Bella. Why is Bella even in the draw?
She gets on Vito's boat every single year and never commits. She's stealing a spot. Disqualify her. Bella coughed softly before she could respond. Vito draped his coat around her shoulders.
It's chilly by the water. Don't catch a cold. Bella's just lucky. Pulls red every single year. Besides, there's no law in this family that says boarding equals a wedding ring. Not happy with it? Try your own luck.
Just don't go crying if you get a white one. everyone immediately turned toward me after all i was the only woman unlucky enough to draw white 10 years in a row and i was veto's fiance every year i'd watched another woman board his boat in the past i would have confronted him thrown a fit to get bella disqualified
and loudly listed every time he played favorites last year was the worst i grabbed bella and shoved her into the river her. Vito took her to a private clinic. Then he and his men kicked down my front
