Betrayed by the Don, Claimed by the King
My father cheated. I cut him out of my life.
To get my forgiveness, my father put Lucas Moretti, the Don of New York, in my bed.
I fell for Lucas, fast. He knew how to play gentle.
Night after night, he’d hold me tight, fuck me like he owned me, and whisper how obsessed he was with me.
Six months later, I was pregnant.
I was the princess of New York's underworld.
My father and Lucas gave me everything. They treated me like I was made of glass.
But the day of the baby's blessing at the church? They were a no-show.
My father said there was family business to handle.
Then I got an anonymous link. A wedding. Live.
In the video, my father, Lorenzo, was walking his mistress, Carla—the woman who killed my mother—down the aisle, a happy smile plastered on his face.
And the other happy couple? My fiancé, and my father's bastard daughter, Sofia.
I could hear Lucas’s voice clearly: "Well, Bella used to bully Sofia. I'm just helping her get the justice she deserves... As for Bella, it's time she was unburdened from a life she isn't built for."
"I'll take over the Gallo family shares for her," he continued, "so she and our child can live without a care in the world."
My father’s voice followed. "Bella’s too much like her mother—ambitious. That’s not a good thing for a woman."
As my world shattered, a text from an unknown number lit up my screen: "Marry me, and the child you're carrying will be the sole heir of the Russo family."
