Dumped by the Don, Crowned by the Mob
The night before our 17th wedding attempt, my mafia husband, Rafaeal Holloway, looks at me and promises an uninterrupted wedding.
He solemnly swears. "Gianna, I promise you. I told Natalia that even if the sky falls, she'll deal with it alone."
I am five months pregnant by then.
After three years of dating and five months carrying his child, we've never managed to make it down the aisle because he's canceled the past 16 weddings.
Every single time, it's for his sworn sister, Natalia Sullivan.
The first time, she claims she has a fever. I spend the whole night at the hospital, still in my wedding dress, just to find out she has a mild cold.
The second time, she claims her chest hurts. Rafael abandons me mid-wedding and rushes to her side, while she's out laughing over afternoon tea with friends.
The third time, she cries for fear of thunder. He bolts mid-vows and leaves me alone in a hall full of staring guests.
But everything's different now.
Three days ago, a letter arrived from Northern Silenzio. My father, the Don of the Rossetti family, has finally summoned me home.
If Rafael walks away for Natalia one more time, I'll leave for good.
