Just 72 hours before the graduate school recommendation list is set to be announced, Vivian Hartley discovers that someone has stolen her experimental data. She stares at the empty folder on her computer screen, her fingertips growing cold as the realization sinks in. Eight months of painstaking work, more than 200 pages of charts and graphs, and 12 rounds of empirical analysis have vanished without a trace. After reviewing the security footage, Vivian discovers that Ethan Sullivan, her childhood friend of 18 years, has copied the files and handed them over to Chloe Anderson, a student from a financially struggling family. But at that moment, Vivian isn't thinking about her own future. All she can think about is her grandfather, who has already been declared to be in critical condition eight times and is holding on just long enough to hear whether she's accepted into the graduate program.

After Isabella loses the three children she carried for the mafia don Matteo, she finally tears herself away from his lies. But when Matteo discovers the truth behind the deaths, his guilt collides with the woman he once used as a pawn, and every secret he buried comes back to destroy the power he thought he controlled.

My Rival Bragged About Her Don Husband, But He Was My Secret Husband I was the heiress of a Mafia family. Since I always kept a low profile, the head cheerleader Selena Hartwell mocked me throughout high school. After graduation, I cut contact with every last classmate and threw myself into family business. Then, just as our family was reestablishing its foothold on the East Coast, an old high school group chat blew up. Selena went crazy tagging me: "Ava Costanzo, I'm getting married — and my husband is a Don! I'm ordering you to come to my wedding!" The wedding photo she posted showed the groom cropped out, but I recognized the cufflinks. The man beside her was Julian Moretti, the second son of the Moretti family, a crew that couldn't even manage two shipping routes without leaning on us.
