Married to the Mafia Heir Then His Ex Tried to Blow Up Our WeddingChapter 1

I was about to be married, yet the man I'd been entangled with for eight years knew nothing of it.

Lately, he'd been occupied with his new personal aide—a woman named Celina Vitale who had appeared at his side like a shadow seeking light.

They'd taken to each other instantly, their conversations flowing with an ease that felt rehearsed. To celebrate her birthday, he'd commissioned a ten-tiered cream cake from the most exclusive bakery in the city, the kind of extravagance he reserved for impressing associates and marking territory.

At the party held in the back rooms of his social club, they'd smeared frosting across each other's faces like children, laughing while cream splattered across the mahogany bar and leather seats. They'd forgotten—or perhaps never cared to remember—that I was severely allergic to dairy.

When my throat began to close and my vision blurred at the edges, I was rushed to the hospital in one of the Family's black sedans, the driver running every red light in the district.

I woke in a sterile white room with an IV in my arm and a clarity I hadn't possessed in years.
