Countdown
After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him. I have loved him since our school days. In fact, I have loved him for seven whole years. This is the 18th time. I stand in the banquet hall wearing the gown he personally chose for me and watch as he slips the ring onto my finger. He kisses me with a passionate intensity he has never shown me before. At that moment, I believe that I have finally secured my perfect happiness after waiting seven long years. My happiness only lasts until the guests leave. As I step into the back garden, I see Daniel holding my twin sister, Leah Ricci, in his arms. He says in a hushed voice, "I announced my engagement to Rosalie 18 times. This time, you're finally back." That's when I realize that the engagement banquet that I have longed for is nothing more than a ploy by Daniel to draw Leah back to him. But when I decided to let them be together, Daniel panics.

The Don's Stand-In Isn't Playing Pretend Anymore Chapter 11
News of Daniel's arrest spread like wildfire and sparked lots of discussion. After all, the don of a mafia being imprisoned was not exactly a small matter.In the mediation room, Pedro slammed his palm on the table, fury written all over his face. He yelled at me, "Come on, Rosalie! No matter what Daniel did, he's still your fiance! Nothing good will come out of making a circus out of this. Withdraw the charges immediately!"Siding with Pedro, Dad chimed in, "He's right, Rosalie. We're all family. Why make an issue out of this? If Daniel goes down, my business is finished. For my sake, can't you—""For your sake?" Mom scoffed, interrupting his self-righteous ramblings.She stepped through the doorway, poised and commanding. Behind her was a team of lawyers and two high-ranking figures of the Mofrand mafia."Mom." I stood up to greet her.She squeezed my hand lightly and turned her piercing gaze toward Dad and the Marinos. "My daughter was kidnapped right in my territory. And yo

The glare of the light stung my eyes. I squinted and blinked until the shape in front of me came into focus.Daniel?The moment he saw that I was awake, he rushed forward to hug me. "Rosalie, I missed you so much!""Are you insane?" I snapped, glaring at him.He acted as though he hadn't heard a word I said. His fingers worked quickly to untie the knots binding my wrists.He muttered, "Don't be so harsh now. I tried everything. I called. I texted. You ignored me… I just had to see you."The instant the rope loosened, I swung my hand and gave him a tight slap.Daniel's head jerked to the side. After a long moment, he slowly turned back to face me. He pressed his tongue lightly against the side of his cheek that was slapped.Suddenly, he smiled."Rosalie, I find you even sexier now compared to when you were all submissive," he said appreciatively.I felt utterly nauseated. "You're sick. Why aren't you with Leah?"The moment I mentioned Leah, Daniel's expression twisted into on

I squinted my eyes and looked toward the source of that shout.Across the road, Daniel stood beside a car. His suit was wrinkled. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a layer of stubble on his chin. He looked grim and disheveled, a far cry from his once-refined and noble self.He stormed across the street in long strides and shoved the young actor aside while reaching out to drag me with him. "You're coming home with me!"The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to shield me. "Sir, please keep your distance."In response, Daniel roared, "Get out of my way! I'm her fiance!"The absurdity of it all made me laugh as I corrected him, "Ex-fiance.""Ex?" Daniel exclaimed, seemingly hurt by that one word.He fumed, "Stop throwing a tantrum, Rosalie. I never agreed to breaking up! Look at what you've become! You stayed out so late and let two men help you out from the bar in a drunken state! What do you take me for?"I scoffed frostily and said, "A stranger."Daniel was so mad tha

Daniel fell silent for a full minute. When he finally spoke again, his voice was suddenly calmer than before. He asked, "Rosalie, did you look at the photo album in my study?""Yes," I admitted without hesitation."That was in the past!" he blurted anxiously, sounding as if he felt hurt that I'd misunderstood him. "Everyone does stupid things when they're young! I admit that I mistook you for Leah on the night of the graduation party. But that was years ago. I fell in love with you! I changed!"Then, he changed his tune and started blaming me. "But you don't love me anymore, do you? If you did, you'd have asked me in person instead of running away! Why didn't you do that? Why did you run away from our wedding to punish me?"There he went again, trying to push all the blame onto me. However, I would no longer let him have his way, not anymore.Calmly, I rebuked his accusations. "Daniel, you know me better than anyone. You know how long I loved you and how much I wanted a family
