Heroes Die Book

Ich heiratete Don Matteo im Geheimen. Jedes Mal, wenn er seine Jugendliebe fickte, versprach er mir eine richtige Hochzeit – vor den Fünf Familien. Fünf Jahre lang gab Matteo mir neunundneunzig Versprechen. Und neunundneunzig Mal ließ er mich vor dem Altar stehen. Beim ersten Mal starb Cecilias preisgekrönte Ausstellungskatze. Um sie zu trösten, verschob er die Hochzeit um drei Monate. Ich stand allein am Altar, die Augen gerötet, und versuchte, die Familienältesten zu beruhigen. Beim zweiten Mal bekam Cecilia in einem Casino einen Wutanfall und zerschlug eine antike Vase im Wert von hundert Millionen Dollar. Er leitete den Privatjet, der für unsere Hochzeit vorgesehen war, um und flog noch in derselben Nacht los, um ihr Chaos zu beseitigen. Und jedes Mal, kurz vor unserer Hochzeit, hatte seine Jugendliebe irgendeinen Notfall. Ich weinte. Ich schrie. Ich hielt ihm sogar eine Waffe an den Kopf. Aber Matteo drückte mich einfach gegen die Wand und brachte mich mit einem kalten, harten Kuss zum Schweigen. „Sie ist nur zum Ficken da. Du bist Frau Falcone. Benimm dich gefälligst.“ Nach dem neunundneunzigsten Mal hatte ich endgültig genug. Ich schob die Papiere über den Tisch. Die Tinte war noch feucht, das Siegel der Familie Falcone prangte am unteren Rand. „Unsere Ehe, unser Bündnis – es ist vorbei.“

Sera Quinn had one job. Marry a dying man, keep her head down, and wait. Nobody told her that Damien Voss did not die on anyone's schedule but his own. She was twenty two years old when her stepfather sat her down at the kitchen table and explained her options. Her mother was sick. The bills were swallowing everything. And the most powerful billionaire in the country was lying unconscious in a private hospital ward with his family desperate enough to pay a small fortune to any woman willing to stand beside him at the altar. All Sera had to do was say yes. She said yes. She had no other word left. She moved into his mansion and tried to be invisible. She talked to him in the dark of his room every night because there was nobody else and because she was sure he could not hear her. She told him things she had never told anyone. She told him she was scared. She told him she was pregnant. Then she overheard four words that changed everything and she ran before the sun came up. Four years later she had rebuilt herself from nothing. A career. A spine. Twin children with their father's eyes. A case file she had been building alone, one quiet hour at a time, that connected a road barrier report to a name that would put people in prison. She had one rule. Stay away from Damien Voss. Then her four year old daughter hacked into his private server and left him a message. Damien was already in his car before Sera found out what her daughter had done. He was not coming to talk. And Sera Quinn was finally done running.

When my son asked me about his father while crying once again, I pointed at the television. Samuel Shaw, who had just made it into the top three of the wealth rankings, was being interviewed. He said he had achieved fame and success, and the person he hated most was his childhood sweetheart and ex-wife. “She abandoned me when I was gravely ill, all for the sake of money. But it was that very betrayal that pushed me to rise from the ashes in my darkest hour.” The reporters grew excited and suggested contacting me on the spot. "She must be filled with regret, begging Mr. Shaw to take her back!" My phone rang right then. I answered and immediately asked for money. "Samuel, my son is sick. Could you lend me sixty thousand dollars?" He abruptly hung up the phone and said with a cold laugh, "Knowing she's living so miserably gives me peace of mind." Looking at the kidney failure report in my hand, I silently wept. Six years ago, I secretly donated one of my kidneys to Samuel. Now, his son was suffering from the same disease and didn't have much time left.
