LOGINMy husband, an Army regimental commander, was killed in action. Before his body was even cold, I didn't hesitate. I filed for his death certificate and notified the Army, the Social Security Administration, and our bank. Then, three days later—on the very day his twin brother married his childhood sweetheart—I moved out, changed the locks, and remarried quietly at the courthouse, taking my son and the full line-of-duty death benefits with me. To everyone else, I was heartless. Cold. I let them curse me. I just looked into my “brother-in-law's” bloodshot eyes and felt a quiet, cruel satisfaction. Only I knew the truth. In my last life, I discovered the body sent home wasn't my husband's at all—it was his identical twin brother's. I ran to confront him, but by chance I overheard him and my mother-in-law whispering. "Mom, Sarah is strong. And we have our son. She'll be okay. The benefits will take care of her. But Amy has waited for my brother all these years. If she finds out he's dead, she might do something drastic." Their words struck me like lightning. I tried to expose them, but my husband knocked me out. He told everyone grief had driven me insane. He locked me in the garage apartment and, with cold detachment, married his sweetheart. And when that woman complained my son was too loud, my husband slipped sleeping pills into our boy's juice—right as my crying child was coming to look for me. My son never woke up. The day they buried him hastily, I ended my life in the garage, utterly broken. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day they delivered my brother-in-law's body to our home.

In the dark hotel room, two bodies were tangled in the haze of desire, skin on skin, breath against breath. The air was permeated with the scent of sex and passion. A soft moan escaped the woman’s lips—barely audible, yet familiar enough to slice through Luciano’s intoxicated fog.
His brows furrowed.
No.
He knew that voice.
In a swift, almost panicked movement, his hand shot toward the lamp on the nightstand.
"Ah—no, don’t turn on the light," a delicate whisper came through the darkness, trying to catch him.
But it was too late. Luciano's frown deepened as his fingers already flipped the switch, instantly flooding the room with light.
"You," he snarled, jaw tightening as his gaze locked onto the familiar face beneath him—while he was still buried deep inside her.
His hand snapped up to her chin, gripping it roughly. Pain flared beneath his touch, but the woman only smiled—slow, sultry, and unbothered.
“Do you not want me, Mr. Mancini?”
Arching her back, she rolled her hips deliberately, and he hissed as her tight heat clung to him like a vice. Every nerve in his body screamed at him to stop—but he couldn’t. His fury was tangled with desire, and the combination made his blood boil.
His gaze burned with rage, but lust roared louder in his veins.
“You’re going to regret this, Rosie,” he bit out, voice low and dark.
Without warning, he shoved her legs over his shoulders and slammed into her—hard, relentless, punishing. The bed creaked beneath their force. Moans filled the room, hers laced with pleasure and seduction, his with a mixture of anger and need.
He didn’t stop. Not when she cried out as she orgasmed, and not when her nails raked down his back, drawing blood. Not even when her body finally gave out beneath him, trembling and exhausted after countless rounds of rough, relentless sex. She slipped into unconsciousness with a soft sigh, her body limp in his grasp.
But Luciano kept moving.
Only when he spilled himself inside her with a guttural groan did he finally collapse beside her.
The next morning, Rosa found herself in Luciano’s strong arms. She bit her lip, her eyes tracing the sharp lines of his face. Luciano Mancini—the enigmatic underworld don and…
…her ex-husband.
Even in sleep, he looked effortlessly powerful, dangerously handsome. There was something about him—his quiet dominance, the mystery in his eyes—that drew women to him like moths to a flame. Any woman would have killed to be in his bed.
She still remembered the day she first saw him; she was twelve years old, visiting her grandfather’s childhood friend. When her eyes landed on an eighteen-year-old Luciano Mancini, she couldn’t get them off him; he looked like a prince coming out of her dreams, so beautiful. So when she was married to him at the age of eighteen, she felt like the luckiest girl alive. But slowly, she realized that luck was never in her favour, as he made it clear on their wedding night that he loved someone else and would never share her bed. Touching her was never an option.
Still, she tried.
She tried to win his heart, clinging to the hope that time might soften him. That something—anything—could change.
Until the night when every fragile line between them was erased.
When Luciano woke the next morning and found himself naked in bed with her, his fury was beyond anything she had ever seen. Convinced that Rosa had drugged him to sleep with her, Luciano threw her out of his house, handed her divorce papers without giving her a chance to explain, and had his men force her to leave the country.
Only then did Rosa truly realize the depth of his hatred.
She had never planned to return—not to this city, and certainly not to the man who took everything from her: her home, her family, her life... and left her with nothing but pain and heartbreak.
And she wouldn’t have—if fate hadn’t left her with no other choice.
She sighed, swallowing the lump of nervousness in her throat, and gently tried to untangle herself from his arms. But instead of loosening, his arms only tightened around her. Her heart thudded with terror as his angry eyes slowly opened, glaring at her with pure fury and hatred.
“Why did you do this?”
His threatening growl made her flinch slightly before she quickly regained her composure. With a slow, seductive smile, she looked into his eyes.“For money. What else?” she purred in a sensual voice.
Luciano’s jaw clenched, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Still playing the same games, huh? Taking advantage of drunk men and sleeping with them for money? Is that your new way of making a living?" he taunted coldly.Rosa’s heart ached at his words, but she masked the pain behind a flawless expression, her smile never faltering.
“Sorry—I didn’t know you were my next client," she said casually, her tone light and indifferent. But her heart was racing with fear, knowing she was speaking recklessly to a ruthless mafia king who could kill her at any moment.
Luciano’s eyes narrowed, irritation flashing in them.
What the hell did she mean? Was she implying she had planned to sleep with someone else that night?“What a slut you are!” he snarled, his hand suddenly wrapping around her neck with enough force to make her think he might snap it in one swift motion.
Fear flashed across Rosa’s face, but she masked it quickly and tried her luck one last time.
“Mr. Mancini… just make the payment, and I promise you’ll never see me again.”
Payment.
His expression darkened with fury.
“What’s your fucking price per fuck?” he spat, attacking her dignity with venom in his voice.
Rosa swallowed the sting of his words. She had expected hatred from him—brutal and merciless. And now that she had what she came for, she just needed to get out before he started to suspect anything.
“Ten grand,” she said coldly, grabbing her phone from the nightstand with a steady hand as his grip on her neck finally loosened.
She opened the scanner, keeping her expression unreadable, even as her heart pounded in her chest.
His face remained unreadable as he completed the payment on his phone. Moments later, Rosa’s screen lit up with a notification— twenty thousand euros is credited to your account.
“Wow,” she giggled, and her tone remained light and teasing. “You paid double.”
Luciano’s voice was cold and sharp.
“Ten for last night. Ten for this morning.”Before she could even process what he said, he grabbed her by the waist and rolled her onto her back, thrusting into her hard and deep. A flicker of pain crossed Rosa’s face—her pussy was still sore from the night before—but she quickly masked it with a seductive smile.
She let out a soft moan, whispering his name between gasps, her voice dripping with temptation. It was enough to provoke him, enough to make him lose what little restraint he had left.
Luciano’s jaw tightened, and his thrusts grew rougher—merciless and punishing.
After he was done with her, Rosa lay on the bed, feeling like there wasn’t a single bone left in her body. God, his stamina was unreal—almost inhuman.
Luciano got up from the bed, still completely naked, and walked into the shower without glancing back at her. The sound of running water soon filled the room.
Rosa slowly pushed herself up, her body trembling as she reached for her clothes. Her hands shook as she dressed quickly. She had to get out—before he came back.
When the Italian Don returned and found that his ex-wife had left without his permission, his fury ignited even further.
No one dared betray him and walk away alive.
Understanding the meaning behind my words, Tommy began to tremble all over.In that instant, everything finally made sense to him—why, during that time, Finn and I had been so quiet, so distant.So… we had known all along.We had known he wasn't Tony."Sarah, listen to me. Let me explain. It's not what you think…"He had just started to speak when he was interrupted by someone storming in like a whirlwind.It was Amy."Tommy, you shameless jerk! You actually came here to look for Sarah?! Didn't you say you would take responsibility for me?"Hearing her voice, a flash of despair crossed Tommy's eyes.After learning the truth, Amy had become a completely different person.She criticized him every day—this wasn't good enough, that wasn't good enough—always saying he was inferior to his brother.When the pressure became unbearable, he would think of the past: of me and Finn, quietly waiting for him at home.That was why today had happened at all.He hadn't expected Amy to find
By the time Tommy found me, I had already been married to Ricky for a full month.He stood downstairs in my house, shouting my name at the top of his lungs."Sarah! Sarah Radley!"The one who opened the door was Ricky.Seeing Tommy's messy hair and haggard, exhausted face, he raised an eyebrow."Well, if it isn't Sarah's late husband's elder brother. What are you here for?"Tommy choked for a moment, then glared at him in fury."Where's Sarah? I want to see Sarah—and Finn. They're my family. I want to ask her why she would remarry!"Ricky answered him with a heavy punch."You're insane. You're nothing but the elder brother-in-law—what right do you have to interfere? Sarah remarried. Who do you think you are, to approve or disapprove?"Tommy's voice faltered, guilt flashing in his eyes."I'm not Tony. I'm Tommy! Sarah is my wife. How can I not have a say?"Ricky let out a cold laugh."You're Tommy? Tommy died a long time ago. What proof do you have that you're Tommy?"Tomm
I knew nothing of the farce unfolding in the Robinson family.By then, I had already boarded a train to Hartton City with my son.Standing in front of a three-story house, I clutched the address Ricky had given me and hesitated for a long time.Before I could decide whether to leave, the front door opened. A man in a white shirt stepped out. I didn't even have time to hide before he caught my wrist."Sarah, why didn't you come in?"Seeing Ricky's familiar eyes and brows, I gave an awkward smile."I thought I had the wrong place."I knew he’d left our hometown a few years ago to start his own business and that it was doing well, but I never imagined he’d become this successful.Ricky, though, was exactly as he'd been in my memories—without a trace of arrogance.He reached out and, with practiced ease, lifted Finn into his arms.Finn, completely at ease with strangers, grabbed his arm and asked, "Uncle, are you my new daddy?"I was just about to answer when Ricky nodded."Yes
Tommy stumbled, nearly knocking Amy down.The people around them erupted into noisy discussion, most of it filled with curses aimed at me."Tommy's only been gone three days. How could Sarah remarry so quickly?""Exactly! She even took Finn with her. No matter what, Finn is still the Robinson family's grandson. What she did was shameless!""Tsk, tsk. So Sarah is really that heartless? Never thought she'd do something like that."He couldn't hear anything clearly anymore. The voices around him turned into a dull buzzing in his ears. Only a few words echoed endlessly in his mind—Sarah was going to marry someone else!How could she? How dare she take his son and marry another man?Seeing him freeze in place, Amy began to panic."Tony, can we finish our wedding ceremony first? We really shouldn't delay any longer."But Tommy said, "Amy, I can't. I have to go find Sarah and bring her back first. She's my brother's widow. How can she just remarry whenever she wants?"A twisted fl
I frowned, putting on a confused expression."Mom, that would be too much trouble. In a few years, Finn will be going to school. There'll be so many places to spend money. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to keep asking you for money over and over?"My mother-in-law's gaze fell on Finn, who was
Tommy didn't know that in this world, he wasn't the only one with a childhood sweetheart.I made up an excuse to go out and called Ricky Sterling, the boy who'd grown up with me since childhood.When he learned that I wanted him to introduce someone so I could remarry, he got angry."Did Tommy tr
After making up my mind, I pinched my thigh hard and forced myself into a picture of heartbreaking grief. I threw myself onto "Tommy's" body and cried until I nearly fainted.Even the relatives and friends who had come to mourn couldn't help but feel their eyes sting."Ah… what a pity. The family'
"My son! My son! How could you leave like this? What am I, an old woman, supposed to do now? What about your wife and child?"My mother-in-law's shrill, heart-rending cries dragged me back to my senses.My gaze fell on the body lying in the coffin—a face identical to my husband, Tommy Robinson.
