1| THE BRIDE

LOTTIE“Rise and shine, Lottie! It’s your wedding today!” I heard mamma yell through my sleep, right after my door slammed open.I snuggled into my duvet more, wondering why I was dreaming about my mother who was states away from me, too engrossed in her perfect little family to give me—the black sheep of the family—as much as a call.Suddenly, the duvet was snatched away from my tight grip and the voice was closer now, loud with panic. “Get up, Lottie!”My eyes peeked open and I shot off the bed at once. Mamma stood in front of me in the most prim and proper tweed outfit. Fuck. Did I inhale too much of that coke?“M-mamma?” I yelped.“Get up, we’re going back to Sicily for your wedding. It’s in five hours, you need to get your makeup done, fit your dress, your hair, there’s so much to do!”I was neck deep in confusion. “Mamma? Did you hit your head? I’m not getting married. Madonna, my hair care business just finally started getting attention as one of the leading women-owned busines

2| MARRYING THE GRANDPA

LOTTIE“This is insane.” I muttered under my breath, even more sober now that I was finally handed a bouquet of flowers, standing in what used to be my bedroom years ago.We landed in Sicily two hours earlier, where I met a swarm of stylists ready to glam me up for the wedding at Papa’s mansion. Mamma made me wash myself two times to get off ‘the stink’, and my skin felt raw from too much scrubbing. Brushed thrice as well. Oh, and also concealed some of my tattoos with a foundation.My wedding dress was a bit loose on my body, the shoes too. Mamma had me wearing Felicia’s clothes, threatening every step of the preparation. She blamed me for the bones on my body, cussed me for taking drugs so much. But I only started because of them. Because they took my ‘bastard’ away from me, they took my love away from me…Where Felicia was the perfect, gorgeous daughter with brown bouncy curls, hazel green eyes and tempting curves, I was… me. Jet black hair, crazy blue eyes and a skinny frame whic

3| HIS FATHER’S WIFE

VIKTOR Igor just got married. The fucker actually remarried at the age of 71, knowing he had one foot in the grave from that terminal disease that could end him any day soon. Only a fool wouldn’t know what this meant for us all. My hand tightened around the steering and I drove like a possessed man, but somehow not still driving fast enough. The moment my car turned up in front of his building, I was out of the door before the engine even died. My phone vibrated in my hand for the umpteenth time—my brothers again, no doubt. Everyone was going crazy, I was just the only one close enough to figure out what exactly this fuckery was all about first. The door pulled open after my first knock, and his butler, Pedro opened for me. I saw the moment he opened his mouth to probably lie that my father wasn’t in. I brushed past him, not caring to listen. I was about to run for his room when I heard someone cuss in Italian, not too loud but audible enough, “Cazatte!” That was somebody tha

4| THE TEST

LOTTIE Mom sent a picture this morning from the Parkers, and under it, she wrote a single text; BEHAVE. I’d tried to call the Parkers more times than one, but they’d not answered any of my calls since I got married yesterday. I almost had a panic attack, and Igor had insisted on sharing a room, so I had to pick up my stash and go somewhere else to distract myself. I was taking this sudden change better than I thought until now. Maybe it was the drugs, but still. Two nights ago, I was a single hot woman in London, and today I was married to a seventy years old man I barely knew in Sicily. Plus now, he was here. The only man I’d ever loved… and he hated me. It was enough to make anyone lose their minds, but apparently not enough for me. Fuck, I needed to gather my stash. I rushed back and sniffed some of the good stuff off the ground, gathering the rest in my hand. I rushed back to the bedroom I shared with Igor, halting a few feet away when I heard Vikor’s voice from th
