Vincent Valentine Turk

En la cena por nuestro tercer aniversario con Vincent Hartwell, su secretaria me vació una copa de vino tinto encima… y no fue ningún accidente. Ahí fue cuando exploté. Sin pensarlo, le solté una cachetada frente a todos los invitados. Esa misma noche, el chisme corrió como fuego entre la gente de la alta sociedad. Y cuando mi mamá vio las fotos filtradas de esos dos en la cama… el impacto fue demasiado fuerte. Sufrió un infarto y murió en el acto. Cuando me avisaron, me desplomé en el suelo y lloré hasta que no me quedaron fuerzas. Pero Vincent… ni siquiera apareció. Se quedó todo el tiempo al lado de su secretaria, calmándola, como si la víctima fuera ella. Cuando por fin volvió a casa, pasó a mi lado como si yo no existiera. Ni una mirada. Se aflojó la corbata, tranquilo, como siempre, y soltó: —Ya está solucionado. No quiero que esto vuelva a pasar. Como si nada. —Tengo una reunión esta noche. Arréglate y llega a la villa en media hora. Madison te necesita. Antes de salir, dijo sin siquiera voltearse: —Está sensible por el embarazo. Si le haces algo a mi hijo… no te lo voy a perdonar. Lo escuché todo en silencio. No lloré. No discutí. Pero en cuanto se fue, abrí el cajón y saqué el acuerdo de divorcio que había preparado semanas atrás. Debajo… estaba mi propia prueba de embarazo, marcando positivo. "Vincent… en tres días me voy a ir a buscar a mi padre biológico", pensé. Esta vez no era una amenaza. Me iba de verdad. Y me aseguraría de que mi padre me "agradeciera" adecuadamente por todo lo que me hizo aguantar estos años. Me encargaría de que me pagara cada uno de sus supuestos favores.

He whispered her name nine hundred and ninety-nine times in his sleep. Never mine. For five years, I gave everything to Vincent Bonanno—the heir to one of the most powerful mafia dynasties in Europe. I turned his house into a home, remembered every careless detail he let slip, even abandoned my dream of becoming an artist—believing that one day, he would finally choose me. But whenever Alessia appeared, his loyalty bent toward her. The night boiling fondue scarred my arms, he rushed to shield her from a scratch that barely reddened her skin. In public, his gaze never stayed with me—it drifted to her. I was the wife on paper, but never in truth. So I walked away. With nothing but a suitcase, divorce papers he signed without noticing, and a secret I never planned to share—three months pregnant. He discovered too late. The divorce was real. The clinic file was real. And by the time he realized, I had vanished. Now the man who once ruled cities with cold power is tearing the world apart to find us. He has soldiers, money, and a thousand apologies he never gave when I was still his wife. But I’m no longer the woman who begged for affection. I’m a mother. An artist. A survivor. The question isn’t whether Vincent can reach me. It’s whether, when he does, I’ll ever let him back into the life he destroyed.

Una vez que quedé embarazada, fui aclamada como la mujer más preciosa del submundo. Mi esposo, el nuevo Don de la familia Jenkins, cerró toda una ala de un hospital privado para mis chequeos, mientras que mi padre, el Don de los Collins, convocó a todos los chefs con estrellas Michelin de Nueva York a la mansión, solo para que yo pudiera elegir cualquier cosa que se me antojara. El bebé que llevaba en mi vientre estaba destinado a ser el único heredero de las dos familias de la mafia más poderosas. Pero el día en que debíamos firmar los documentos que aseguraban la herencia de mi hijo, ambos desaparecieron. —Surgió un asunto familiar urgente —dijo mi esposo, Vincent, besando mi frente—. Podemos finalizar la herencia del niño cuando regresemos. No hay prisa. Poco después de que se marcharan, recibí un enlace a una transmisión en vivo anónima. La voz de mi padre se escuchaba en el video, más fría de lo que jamás la había sentido. —Estás diciendo que tu contrato de matrimonio con Evangeline nunca fue válido. ¿Eso no convierte al niño en un bastardo? Vincent, relajado en un club, sopló un anillo de humo. Acurrucada en sus brazos estaba mi media hermana, Sarah. —Evangeline siempre ha tenido todo el amor y el afecto. A su hijo no le faltará nada —respondió Vincent—. Sarah ha sido burlada por su estatus durante años. Tengo que hacer las cosas bien para ella, darle a nuestro hijo un nombre legítimo. En ese momento, mi corazón se paralizó y apenas podía respirar. Entonces mi teléfono vibró de nuevo. Era un mensaje de texto: [Bienvenida a casa a la familia Gallo, mi reina.] [Solo di la palabra, y el niño que llevas llevará el apellido Gallo y se convertirá en el heredero más poderoso del submundo estadounidense.]

I always get what I want. Every time. But not with her. The beautiful woman my father forced on me through our billion-dollar firm has curves that make me ache. Never in my short life did I imagine falling for her. Office romances are forbidden in my company. But she’s a rule breaker. I guess I am too, but no one knows that side of me. This single mother with brilliant business sense has a side hustle and still kicks ass at my firm daily. There’s no way in hell she’s giving in. No matter what I try. Not even when Valentine’s rolls around. And I pull out all the stops. Her denial has me needing her like I’ve never needed anyone else. Where this girl is concerned, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for me. For today. Tomorrow. Forever.

When I turn 18, my family suddenly strikes gold. Dad makes a fortune in business. We move into a huge house with a driver and a housekeeper. My younger brother, Vincent Becker, is sent to study in Basmar. After that, he graduates and marries a rich heiress. Their partnership makes our family's business soar. I'm the only one who misses my college entrance exam because of stomach cramps, and my parents marry me off to a lonely man in some rundown countryside. He locks me in a basement and hurts me every single day. I crawl my way back home, half-alive, but my parents only look at me with disgust. "Useless brat! How did you not die out there?" Vincent says that he'll take me out to clear my head. Instead, he shoves me in front of a truck. I'm rushed to the ICU with nearly every bone in my body broken. Right before I die, he leans down in his designer suit and whispers in my ear. "Let me tell you the truth before you die. Our family didn't get rich from business. We got rich because of the hundred-million-dollar lottery ticket you bought. "We cashed it behind your back and never told you." I die full of resentment, and right after my death, they sell my organs for 120 thousand dollars. I open my eyes, and suddenly I'm there again—to the very day I bought the lottery ticket.
