The Mafia Boss' Betrayed WifeChapter 1

Rose's POV

I was too numb to notice the tears rolling down my cheeks until they landed with soft taps on my computer.

Playing on the screen was CCTV footage showing the parking lot of my sister's apartment building the day she went missing.

When I received the envelope containing the flash drive from the private investigator, I had thought it was more good news, fresh out of a doctor's visit confirming my pregnancy.

That is until I read the autopsy report that confirmed all my worst fears over the last eight months.

Bella was dead.

The short video stopped and replayed for the third time, forcing me to rewatch her struggle as she was forced into a van by the same man whose child I was carrying in my belly.

My husband, Nathan.

I refused to believe it, even as it replayed a fourth time.

Nathan had been my rock those first few months of Bella's disappearance—making sure her case was a priority to the police, weeding through the dark underbelly of his world to check if she had been taken by one of his enemies, only to come up with nothing.
