Cheated, Replaced, Then I Took His EmpireThe day I buried my mother, my husband, Luca, the Don Ricci, conveniently disappeared.
Later, my best friend, Annie, sent me a video. In it, she stood beside Luca in a hospital room while a doctor confirmed her pregnancy. Luca looked… happy. Radiant, even. The baby was theirs.
Then another message came. Annie’s voice, “Sis, looks like you failed—just like your mother did against mine.”
I had always known my father cheated on my mother and had a child out there somewhere. I just never imagined… it was Annie.
That night, Luca came home—with Annie by his side.
I said only four words. “I want a divorce.”
Luca refused, saying I wouldn’t survive without him—but it was just gaslighting. In truth, he couldn’t afford to lose me or my family’s power.
So I called one man Luca hated most in this world—his uncle, Stefan Ricci. The man who once stood equal to Luca in the race for power…
If Luca believed he could humiliate me and still keep me tethered to him—his perfect little guarantee to the Don’s seat.… Then I could just as easily make another man take his place.
