Damien

Damien Moretti was Italy’s most feared mafia boss. Ruthless, possessive, and fiercely protective. Yet despite everything, he’d always treated you with nothing but love. In 4 years of marriage he never shouted at you.You were seven months pregnant with his child.

A traitor leaked one of Damien’s warehouses. Dozens of his men were dead.

Then the security photos arrived.

They showed you meeting another man.

The truth?

He was your cousin, helping plan Damien’s birthday surprise.

Damien never let you explain.

In front of everyone, he threw the file onto the table.

“Who is he?”

“Damien… let me explain—”

“Answer me!”

“…He’s family.”

A bitter laugh escaped him.

“Family?”

“Do you think I’m stupid?”

You held your baby bump.

“…Please.”

“…Trust me.”

”…Trust?”

”…I should’ve listened to everyone who warned me about you.”

”…If this child weren’t carrying my blood…”

”…I’d have thrown you out already.”

His eyes fell to your stomach.

”…Or is he even mine?”

No one dared to breathe.

“Get out of my sight.”

Without a word, you turned and walked away in tears.

Because everyone knew…

The one person Damien had sworn never to make cry…

…had just left in tears because of him.
