I sacrificed my legs to marry my cousin’s boyfriend, but they replaced me with a different bride on the wedding day!

I’m the best art forger and intel specialist in Chicago. And I fell for the man who owned it all, Don Vincenzo Russo. For ten years, I was his secret, his weapon, and his woman. I built his empire from the shadows. I thought I’d get a ring. After all, every night he was in this city, he was buried inside me, taking his pleasure. He’d whisper that I was his, that no one else felt this good. But this time, after he was finished with me, he announced he was marrying the Russian Bratva princess, Katerina Petrov. That’s when I knew. I wasn’t his woman. I was just a body. For an alliance, for her, he sacrificed me. He left me to die. So I destroyed every piece of the life he gave me. I made one call to my father in Italy. And then, I vanished. But when the Don who owned Chicago couldn't find his favorite toy… he went insane.

Sou a melhor falsificadora de arte e especialista em inteligência de Chicago. E me apaixonei pelo homem que comandava tudo: Don Vincenzo Russo. Por dez anos, fui o seu segredo, sua arma e sua mulher. Construí o império dele nas sombras. Achei que ganharia um anel. Afinal, todas as noites em que ele estava nesta cidade, ele se enterrava em mim, tomando o seu prazer. Sussurrava que eu era dele, que ninguém mais o fazia sentir tão bem. Mas desta vez, depois que acabou comigo, ele anunciou que iria se casar com a princesa da Bratva russa, Katerina Petrov. Foi aí que eu entendi. Eu não era a mulher dele. Eu era apenas um corpo. Por uma aliança, por ela, ele me sacrificou. Ele me deixou para morrer. Então destruí cada pedaço da vida que ele me deu. Fiz uma ligação para o meu pai, na Itália. E depois… desapareci. Mas quando o Don que dominava Chicago não conseguiu encontrar o seu brinquedo favorito… ele enlouqueceu.

For ten years, I bled for my fated mate, Damian. I forged him into an Alpha. I built his pack from nothing. But on the eve of our Blood Moon ceremony, he chose her. He made his first love, Isla—the one who abandoned him—the High Priestess. Not me. He thought I was just some rogue with a knack for magic. He thought he could drain my power, cast me aside, and claim Isla as his true mate. But he forgot who I am. I brokered the treaties. I negotiated the trades. I built the wards that kept them all alive. He and his pack hailed Isla as their savior. They groveled at her feet. They tried to get rid of me. Their plan? Force me to escort a demon to the Abyss of Exile. But he never knew my secret. I'm no rogue. I am the youngest daughter of the Alpha King. I am royalty. So I gave them what they wanted. I walked away. They only started to panic when my wards shattered and their lands were overrun.

Meu marido, o Sr. Damien, me deu as pérolas de sua falecida esposa no meu aniversário e eu as usei no jantar. Meu enteado Leo, enfurecido, me jogou vinho tinto. Virei a piada da festa. — Vadia! — Ele falou com os dentes cerrados. — Acha que usar as joias da minha mãe te faz virar ela? Ele me encarou, seus olhos frios como gelo. E então ele gritou: — Saia da minha casa. Só que a mãe dele morreu quando ele ainda era um bebê. Eu que o criei. Alguém falou mal de mim pra ele. Disseram que eu matei a mãe dele. Agora ele acha que sou uma golpista que enganou o meu marido? Ele nunca me enxergou. Ele só enxergava o fantasma da Krista. Meu coração não partiu. Ele despedaçou. Eles não me amavam. Nunca se importaram. Então eu fui embora. Então por que, depois que finalmente fui embora, eles voltaram rastejando, implorando para eu voltar?

There's an unwritten rule in the Chicago Outfit. The Don never keeps a mistress for more than a hundred days. When the hundred days are up, the women he’s finished with always take the money and leave quietly. Once, someone asked him, unwilling to accept it: “Why?” Santino Falcone smiled softly.“Because I love my wife.” Everyone knew that his wife of seven years was his weak spot. But this new mistress wouldn’t behave.Emboldened by his favor, she sent me a taunting text message. “Arabella, isn’t your husband cute when he’s asleep in my arms?I’ve got plenty more photos. I can send them to you if you want.” “I’m his one true love. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll step down and give me your place as his wife.” I didn’t argue with her.Instead, I generously gave her my wedding ring. Because what she didn't know was that I had gotten my memory back. I was never the orphan Santino saved. I am the long-lost princess of New York’s most powerful family, missing for seven years. In three days, my brother Matteo’s armored motorcade will arrive in Chicago to take me home.

But as their connection deepens, dark secrets begin surfacing and the world Cassius was born into closes in around them both. Sienna starts to realise that nothing about her life — or her past — is what she thought it was. Can their love survive a world determined to destroy it — or will the truth cost them everything?
