Chapter 1

A second later, Silas pushed open the door, carrying a cup of chamomile tea.He set the tea beside me and said flatly, "It's almost ten, Sophia. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"I shook my head. "No.""Lina wanted me to tell you she's sorry. She feels bad about all the trouble she's caused you."Silas leaned down and kissed my cheek, his eyes soft. "Get some sleep when you're done. Don't wear yourself out."Before I could answer, he left the study.I sat there staring into space. As I was about to get up, my computer screen lit up.A call from Lina flashed across the screen, a notification synced from Silas's phone.The man who refused every call after ten answered in a second.I smiled, got up, and poured the entire cup of tea down the toilet.By the time I got back to the bedroom, Silas had his eyes closed. He looked like he was asleep.Lying in the dark, I messaged my parents in New York. I told them I'd enter the contest to become our family's heir in seven days.They

As soon as I reached the office, I told my manager I was quitting.He was one of the few people at the company who knew about Silas and me. He looked uneasy. "Sophia, are you sure? Does Silas know? He...""We broke up. He doesn't need to know what I do anymore."My manager sighed. "Your resignation is pending approval. Go back to work for now."I nodded and went back to my desk.The office group chat was buzzing with gossip.Someone wrote, "The boss actually brought Lina to work today. I even heard them discussing dinner plans."It left a bitter taste in my mouth.In eight years together, Silas had never once let me be openly part of his world.Early on, when we were madly in love, I begged him to take me to one of the Sicilian families' dinners. Just once.Silas straightened his tie and said impatiently, "It's not a party. You dropped out of the race to become heir long ago, and you haven't touched family business in years. Even if you came, would you understand anything we talked abo

Chapter 3

When we reached the old Lazzari house, Silas's mother, Vittoria Lazzari, welcomed Lina warmly.Lina ran over and threw her arms around her. "Mom! What are you doing out here?! It's so windy tonight. You'll get another headache."Vittoria smiled and tucked Lina's windblown hair behind her ear."I was waiting for you, of course. Silas is always too busy. I haven't seen you in ages."Still chatting, the two of them started inside.Only when she reached the door did Vittoria seem to remember me. She turned. "Well, since you're here, you might as well come in."I was used to her coldness.She'd never liked how involved I was in company business when I wasn't even officially part of the Lazzari family.Silas pulled me aside. "Bad mood?"I shook my head.Silas studied my face and reached out to hug me. I stepped away.He froze, one hand still in the air."And you're telling me you're not upset?"Sophia, you're about to be my wife. As Donna of the Lazzari family, you can't let your feelings sh

On the way home, Lina was in the front seat again. Silas took the long way to drop her off first.I sat in the back, going over the documents I needed for the contest again and again."Come sit up front."I didn't look up. "No thanks. There's plenty of room back here.""Suit yourself."Silas turned back around and stepped on the gas.When we got home, he handed me a tablet."Time to pick a wedding dress. Once we get the marriage license, we'll need to have the wedding quickly."I swiped through the dresses without much interest and pointed at the simplest one.Silas glanced at it and smiled. "Nice."He almost never complimented my taste."Lina likes this one too. She said it would look good on you."Even my wedding dress needed Lina's approval first.Before, I would've been furious.But now, I just nodded calmly."This one's great. Let's go with it."I was leaving tomorrow anyway.The wedding didn't mean anything to me.Silas patted my head. "I'll take care of the dress. Get some rest.

Chapter 5

Silas's POV:In Lina's hospital room, a sharp pain suddenly seized my chest.I frowned and pressed a hand to it. The strange pain slowly eased.But it left me with an unease I couldn't explain.Lina was pale, her eyes full of worry. "Silas, are you all right?"I shook my head and said softly, "I'm fine. Get some rest. I've posted bodyguards outside, and I'll be back first thing in the morning."Then I turned to go home.But a hand caught the hem of my jacket.I looked back. Lina's eyes were brimming with tears.Her voice trembled. "I'm so scared. Every time I close my eyes, I see those men's faces. Silas, will you stay with me?"I hesitated.A voice inside me said, Silas, go home. Go back to your fiancée.But in the end, I sighed and tucked the blanket around her."Okay, I'll stay. Close your eyes now and get some rest."She was the daughter of the woman who'd saved my life. As Don of the Lazzari family, I owed her that much.At 11 p.m., I broke my rule and texted Sophia myself."Don't

Chapter 6

"What kind of game are they playing?!"Is Sophia dragging the whole Corelli family into a fight with me now?I slammed the papers down on the table."Enzo, set up a meeting with Don Corelli. I need to see him right now!"I could guess what had happened. Sophia had talked her doting father into doing this.That stubborn woman was probably hiding at the Corelli estate, walking her dog and feeding her cats without a care in the world.Enzo didn't move. He just stared at me, stunned."You haven't heard the news?"I frowned. "What news?"I'd spent the night with Lina, finding doctors, checking her prescriptions, and arranging guards for her ward. I'd handled it all myself.Lina had taken up most of my attention."It's all over Sicily. Last night, the entire Corelli family packed up and moved to Russia. They're not coming back."For three seconds, the room went silent.I stared at Enzo and scoffed. "That's impossible—"But my heart was pounding."Forget the meeting. I'm going to the Corelli

I couldn't remember getting back to my mother's house.Sophia was gone. It felt as if she'd taken half my soul with her.I was soaked through. When my mother held out a warm towel, I waved it away.I sank into a leather chair. My voice came out hoarse. "Sophia's gone, Mother."My mother pushed the towel into my hands and scoffed. "Why waste a second missing a woman like that?"I looked at her. Contempt was written all over her face.She handed me her phone. "My dear son, I bet you've been too busy to see this video. Watch it, and you'll see how selfish and heartless Sophia is!"The headline read, "Sophia Corelli Elected to the Russian Federal Financial Summit Board."In the video, she wore a black suit and flawless makeup. She answered the reporters' questions with practiced ease."There are rumors that you have a fiancé in Sicily. Is that true?"Sophia smiled coolly and answered without a moment's hesitation. "I'm single. I don't have a fiancé."Clatter.The phone hit the floor."I to

Sophia's POV:After I left Sicily, my career took off.My world kept turning without Silas.The wounds he'd given me had long since healed.Silas came looking for me once.It was the day of Moscow's first snow.My bodyguards stopped him outside my building.I'd bought the whole place to use for meetings.I watched Silas through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.He knelt outside, a thin layer of snow gathering on his black coat.I knew what he wanted. He was silently begging me to come back."So that's your fiancé from Sicily?"Liam Orlov, my new business partner, handed me half a glass of whiskey on the rocks.We'd been friends since childhood. After graduating from Wharton, he'd taken over his family's arms business.He was my biggest client and one of my father's top choices for a future son-in-law."Ex-fiancé." I took the glass and sipped the perfectly chilled whiskey.He arched a brow. "Oh? Then I've still got a shot."I smiled. "Right now, love doesn't matter to me. My work is wh

Chapter 9

Two years later.I announced that I was marrying Liam.My father asked me if I loved Liam.I didn't answer him directly."Liam loves me more."No matter how late I called, Liam picked up, and he always sounded warm.When a deal went wrong, he stayed up all night with me to fix it, and he never once complained.Once, I went out alone to clear my head and got stranded in the snowfields.He found me that night and got me to the hospital when I was half frozen.Then he stayed by my bedside for a week.I looked down at the scar on my arm, the one Silas had left me with.Liam never trapped me with rules.He always put me first.If I married, it would be to a man who truly treated me well.I felt sure I would fall in love with Liam in time.But that wasn't what mattered to me.What I really wanted was to live for myself and build the career I'd chosen.On my wedding day, Silas showed up uninvited.He stood some distance away, in the shade of a tree outside the venue.He'd lost a lot of weight
