Sophia's POV

Upcoming Auctions. The anxiety was eating me alive. I couldn't sleep, could barely eat, and every time someone mentioned the charity event, my stomach twisted into knots. Even David's advice from our rushed phone call yesterday hadn't helped much.

Just stick to the basics. Focus on the emotional impact of the art rather than technical details. You can do this.

But I wasn't sure I could. The more I studied the auction materials, the more obvious it became that I was completely out of my depth.

I needed air. Fresh air and space to think without feeling like the walls were closing in on me.

The Romano estate's garden was peaceful in the afternoon sun. I walked along the stone paths, trying to calm my racing thoughts. The roses were in full bloom, and their sweet scent usually helped me relax. Today, even that wasn't working.

Maybe I should tell Vito the truth.

The thought had been circling in my mind for days now. Every time I looked at him, I felt the weight of the lie grow

    Sophia's POVI didn't know when Vito came home last night.The breakfast table stretched between us like a battlefield, silent except for the clink of silverware against porcelain. He sat at the head of the table, eyes fixed on his newspaper. I sat three chairs away, pushing scrambled eggs around my plate.Neither of us spoke.When he finally set down the paper, I watched him prepare to leave."I need to go out," I said quietly. "I have things to do. People to see."His expression didn't change. "You know the rules.""You can't keep me locked in this house forever.""I'm not keeping you locked anywhere." He wheeled his chair toward the door. "You want to leave the estate? There's one way to make that happen. Get pregnant. Moving to the guest room won't change anything."The words hit like stones. I stood up, my chair scraping against the floor."My father's company is drowning. You're using that to threaten me into—""I told you before." His voice was cold, clinical. "I don't do chari

    Vito’s POVPrivate Dinner, ManhattanThe chandeliers cast golden light across the private dining room, illuminating the faces of New York's most powerful families. Crystal glasses clinked, expensive wine flowed, and conversations hummed with the careful politeness of people who could have each other killed over dessert.I barely heard any of it.My eyes kept drifting to the empty chair beside me—the one Isabella should have occupied. Instead, Maria sat there in a cream-colored gown, her blonde hair swept up elegantly, playing the part of the devoted companion.This was supposed to make her jealous.The plan had seemed so simple. Bring Maria to the dinner. Let Isabella stew at home, imagining what we were doing together. Wait for the tears, the accusations, the dramatic proof that she actually cared about me.Now, sitting here while Maria smiled and charmed the guests, I felt nothing but restless irritation."Vito, my friend!" Don Calabrese approached with his wife, his smile too wide

    I set the phone down on the vanity and stared at my reflection. The woman looking back at me was exhausted, worn down by months of playing Isabella Cohen-Romano, the perfect mafia wife.You need to make peace with Vito, I told myself firmly. Whatever happened, you have to find a way to coexist.The thought tasted bitter, but it was true. I had no leverage, no allies, no way out.I heard the front door open around seven o'clock.I'd learned to recognize the particular rhythm of Vito's wheelchair through the house.I took a deep breath and went to meet him.He was in the foyer, still wearing his tailored charcoal suit, adjusting his cufflinks with that habitual gesture I'd come to know so well."Vito." I kept my voice calm. "I was hoping we could talk."His dark eyes flicked up to meet mine. Then his expression smoothed into that familiar mask of polite disinterest."I'm afraid that won't be possible tonight. I have a dinner engagement.""Can it wait? This is important.""More important

    Sophia's POVEvery time we were together like this, I found myself searching for something more.His injured arm hung useless at his side, wrapped in bandages. But his other hand gripped my hip, lifting me up and bringing me down onto him in a rhythm that left me breathless.Does he feel anything when he looks at me like this?In the dim light of the bedroom, with his dark eyes burning into mine, I could almost convince myself that he did. The way his jaw clenched when I tightened around him. The low groan that escaped his throat when I whispered his name. The possessive grip of his fingers digging into my flesh as if he couldn't bear to let me go."Vito—" I gasped as he drove deeper, hitting that spot that made stars explode behind my eyes.His response was to pull me closer, his mouth finding the curve of my neck. The heat of his breath, the scrape of his teeth—it all felt so real.I clung to that desperate hope as pleasure built inside me, coiling tighter and tighter until I shatter

    Sophia's POVHis words cut through me like a blade.Just a contract. That's all it's ever been.I had replayed those words in my head a thousand times since they'd left his lips, each repetition carving a deeper wound into my heart. And yet, standing here now with my wrist captured in his grip, I couldn't pretend it didn't still hurt.You fool, I told myself bitterly. What did you expect? That spending time together would change things? That sharing a bed would make him see you as anything more than a breeding vessel?Maria had been right. In Vito's eyes, she was the one who mattered. She was the girl from his past, the one who'd saved his life, the one he would have married if not for this arrangement.I was nothing but the third party who'd inserted herself into their love story.If I hadn't been here, Vito would be with Maria right now.The realization was suffocating."Let me go," I whispered, hating how small my voice sounded.But his grip only tightened, pulling me closer until I

    Vito's POVDivorce?I stared at her, certain I'd misheard. The word echoed in my skull like a gunshot in an empty church, impossible and absurd.She couldn't have said what I thought she said."What did you just say?"Isabella lifted her chin, her eyes blazing with a defiance that should have infuriated me. Instead, something far more dangerous stirred in my chest."I said maybe we should get a divorce."The words hit me like a blow to the sternum. For a moment, I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't do anything except stare at this woman.She wants to leave me.In all my years as the head of the Romano family, I had never been caught so completely off guard. I was the one who made decisions. I was the one who controlled every aspect of my relationships, my business, my life. No one surprised Vito Romano. No one made demands of Vito Romano.And certainly no one left Vito Romano.My pride roared to life, drowning out the quieter voice.She can't mean it, I told myself. She's just
