The Contract Bride He Left To Die
Seven days after my twin sister Bianca suffered cardiac arrest and slipped into a coma, my fiancé Matteo De Luca sat beside her ICU bed, holding her cool hand through the night.
“So you were telling the truth.”
“If I don’t marry you, you really will die.”
“Bianca, wake up, and I’ll marry you immediately.”
After his promise, her pulse quickened on the monitor, and Bianca opened her eyes.
Everyone called it a miracle.
Only then did I learn that Bianca was a Contract Holder, and the man she had been assigned to win was Matteo—the man I had loved for five years and was about to marry.
His promise had only stabilized her. According to Bianca, the contract would not be complete until the marriage became legal.
That same night, our two mafia families rewrote the wedding plans.
The De Luca chapel remained booked. The reception, guest list, and priest stayed the same. My mother placed the De Luca heirloom veil that had been fitted for me on Bianca’s head, my father ordered the lawyers to replace my name on the marriage documents, and Matteo slid my engagement ring onto her finger.
They were relieved that Bianca had survived and assumed I could wait.
Standing outside her room, I watched Matteo kiss her hand as the system spoke inside my mind.
【Target individual is preparing to marry another Contract Holder.】
【Original task entering failure countdown.】
They did not know I was a Contract Holder too.
Bianca and I had received the same task, with the same man as our target.
She was awake. Now I was the one marked for erasure.
