I Faked My Death And Left
At our college graduation, my fiance suddenly proposed to Lillie Stewart, my best friend, in front of everyone. I became a joke in front of everyone.
Right after Lillie accepted my fiance’s proposal, Lloyd Becker, heir to the biggest mafia family on the West Coast, publicly said he loved me.
Lloyd was known in the mafia world for being serious and never getting involved with women. So, when he showed an interest in an orphan like me, it made the news.
We got married, and for five years, he was so sweet and treated me like a princess.
But one day, I accidentally overheard him talking to his friend.
“Lillie is already set to become the future lady of the Gacira family. Are you really going to keep the act up with Nelly?”
“If I can’t have Lillie, it doesn’t matter who I marry. As long as I’m with Nelly, Lillie can live peacefully.”
He even gave Lillie the symbol of the Becker family’s lady.
He helped Lillie build her career while letting me fade into the background.
After five years of marriage, I finally understood.
On our fifth anniversary, I pretended to die in a shooting so he could be with the woman he truly loved.
But instead of being happy, Lloyd completely broke down.
