The Don's Revenge BrideMy parents were branded as "traitors" within the Lucchese family. To show the family's mercy, I was taken in as their "sacrificial lamb" to atone for my parents' sins, and I lived with them for 12 years.
Those 12 brutal years would have been unbearable if not for one thing: the Don, Antonio Lucchese, had twin heirs who became my only protection.
Until that night, when they believed Martina Browne's lies about me and handed me the execution poison known as "The Vow of Silence."
"Drink it, Chiara Colombo." Dante Lucchese's voice was cold, his eyes fixed on me. "Prove your loyalty to the Lucchese family."
I drank the poison, and it burned through my throat like acid. Through my blurred vision, I watched as his twin brother, Enzo Lucchese, pulled the real traitor close to him.
He said coldly, "Take Chiara to the infirmary. Don't let her die in the banquet hall."
The day I was released from the hospital, I made a phone call to the Lucchese family's deadliest rival.
My voice was hoarse as I spoke each word slowly. "I have evidence that could bury the entire Lucchese family. Marry me, and I'll help you destroy them."
