LOGINA year ago, Jonathan walked away from Mia without an explanation, leaving her heart shattered. Now, she is forced into an arranged marriage with the same man who once loved her, only this time, neither of them knows the full truth behind the union. To Jonathan, the marriage is a strategic move for business purposes. To the mafia, it is a transaction, and to Mia, it is a trap designed by the father who never loved her. Raised and mistreated by her stepmother and discarded by her own family, Mia is sent back into Jonathan’s life as an entirely different person, hiding her true identity as the daughter of a powerful mafia lord. But Mia is not as powerless as they believe. She is intelligent and already entangled in a dangerous secret—Collins, her hidden lover and a loyal mafia enforcer who will stop at nothing to keep her for himself. As old feelings resurface and buried betrayals come to light, love turns into a battlefield. Caught between two men, two worlds, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Mia must decide whether love is worth risking her life, or if breaking free will cost her everything.

I was happy to walk back into Jonathan’s life, but after telling him who I was, I suddenly wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. The car halted and everyone climbed down. One of the staff carried my bag inside and the first person I met at the front door was Lydia. “Oh how I’ve missed you Mrs. Mysterio..” she sighed, tilting her head to the side as her lips curved into a bright smile. I held out my hand and pulled her into a warm hug. If there was anyone who genuinely cared about me, it was Lydia. “I missed you too Lydia…. Especially because I’ve really not had any good meals in a long time.” I laughed and she tapped my back slightly. “Good thing I made your favorite.” She responded, walking me into the house. The sweet aroma of pasta and chicken sauce filled my nose. I drooled as she led me into the dining room, the table was
Jonathan I dropped back into the bench, chin held up by my clenched fists as my mind spiraled. Something shifted inside of me after hearing Mia’s confession. I’d never imagined that a day would come when my past would haunt me this much. I thought I was doing us both a favor by ending things with her. I never knew I was just selfish. My head felt heavy as I exhaled in exasperation. Nothing made sense to me anymore. Now I understand why she didn’t have a life before we met… her father wiped everything off. But what exactly was the reason for getting married to me under a different identity? What was the need for that gun? Sneaking around in the shadows? Meeting with strange people? Getting kidnapped and all that was taken somehow turned out to be her phone?I grunted in frustration as I grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked it until my scalp felt sore. I stood from the bench and walked back to the house, this entire place was starting to suffocate me. George was the first person
MiaJonathan gently pulled his lips away from mine, his gaze dropping wearily on my face. “What’s the matter?” I asked as he let go of my hands. I watched his lips open to speak but he swallowed his words again. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and stood up straight, adjusting his shirt. “Uhmm… I have something to ask you, but I need you to be honest with me..” he started. My heart dropped heavily into my stomach instantly. I could hear the loud pounding in my chest like my heart was about to leap out and run away. I lowered my eyes, took a deep breath and lifted my face once again. Maybe today might just happen to be the day when I tell Jonathan everything there is to know about me and about why I’m here with another face after three years of separating from him. “Go ahead and ask..” I sighed and he nodded. “Mia… what is your real name?” I swallowed hard. My father’s voice echoed in my head and I tried to shut it out but it only grew louder. And then came Collins.
MiaI woke up to the noise of a busy house and I slowly sat up on the bed, stretching my arms high above me. The tenderness I once felt around my back and waist was going away faster than I thought. As I climbed down from the bed and wrapped myself inside my bathrobe, the first thing my mind thought of was Collins and how far he’d gone with tracking my phone. I brushed and went downstairs to see what was for breakfast but as I approached the dining room, the aroma I expected to greet me wasn’t there. I knew something was off but I pushed the door anyway. All that welcomed me was a king sized loaf of bread, some peanut butter spread and plain milk. “Where’s breakfast?” I asked just to make sure this wasn’t what I’d be eating this morning. The nurse lifted her head from the coffee maker, scanned the table and turned her face to me. “Would you prefer coffee?” She asked blankly. My face twisted in fury as I ran my fingers through my hair. Now I missed Lydia because she would never w
Mia's POV “Well it’s too cold for me to keep staying out here.” I replied, trying to sound like my heart wasn’t beating out of my chest. “You can stay in my room tonight.” He said, his voice a little shaky, and barely audible like he was scared to say it or he was trying to convince himself that
Mia’s povI got to my room and slammed the door, the lock clicked shut and I staggered to the mirror. Slowly, I gathered my thoughts and then it hit me…I actually murdered someone.. someone had actually died by my own hands today. The blood on my face and my hands belonged to someone else! I’m a m
Mia's POV When my nose began to run because of how chilly the air was, I knew it was time for me to return to the house even though I’d rather stay out in the cold than face those cold scrutinizing eyes of the man I married.I reluctantly stood up, returned the chair to the canopy, and kissed the
Mia’s povI sat in my room, staring at the blank wall in front of me. There was fear in my heart and a part of me wanted to put that bloody gun back into the suitcase and crawl into my bed. But the more I thought about how much more time I could spend with Jonathan as his wife, the more determined
