Abandoned at the Altar, Married to His Uncle
The day I married Vincent Sorrentino, Lena, the Sorrentino family’s adopted daughter, threatened to jump off the steeple of the family church.
Vincent left me standing at the altar in my custom wedding gown, no hesitation, just bolted after her.
With every New York crime boss, politician, and oligarch staring at me, I looked out at the crowd and said loud and clear: “Any man who walks up here right now and says ‘I do’? I’ll marry you.”
Three years later, Vincent was back into the Sorrentino family’s Long Island estate, Lena on his arm.
I was sitting on the leather couch in the main living room, watching my favorate TV show.
Vincent’s eyes locked on my huge pregnant belly, his jaw tight, growling through his teeth: “Whose bastard is in there?”
I took a sip of orange juice, curled my lip into a smile, and said: “It's a Sorrentino baby, of course.”
