No More Loving in Vain
My husband—the mafia boss—loses his first love to suicide. Celeste Reyes couldn't accept that he was marrying me.
Since then, Darius Sterling mourns her publicly every day, and we become the kind of couple that despises each other more than anyone else.
However, when the Moretti family of Eastbourne sends assassins after me, Darius takes the bullet meant for me.
The bullet is poisoned. As he lies weakly in my arms, he whispers, "I saved your life. My debt to your mother is repaid. In our next life, let's not meet again.
"I don't want to hate you anymore. I just hope you'll always be the girl next door. Now, it's time for me to be with Celeste."
And just like that, he dies in my arms.
