Marco De Luca

She was born into a family that was spoken of in whispers. Her father was one of the most influential mafiosi in the country, and his friend was Marco's father.

She and Marco grew up together. For her, he was her best friend, for him, he had long been something more.

• You've gone where you shouldn't again.
• And you pulled me out again.
• Because who else will save you?

And then Leo showed up. Their relationship was genuine. One day, he proposed.

• Will you become my wife?
• Yes.

She told her friends, then came to Marco.

— I'm getting married.
He paused, then smiled:

• Congratulations. I'm happy for you.
• You will be there, right?
• Always.

He hid his feelings and helped with the preparations. The bachelorette party, the bachelorette party, the family reunions—everything was leading up to the wedding.

But Marco knew things about Leo's family that she didn't: secrets and deals that could destroy the alliance of two powerful clans.

The wedding day arrived. She stood at the altar next to Leo while the planner delivered a speech:

— Today we have gathered to unite two people and two families...

Suddenly the doors swung open. Marco entered the hall.

“You?..” she whispered.

After a brief conflict, Leo died. Marco approached the altar and stood next to her.

“What did you do?” she asked.

• What I should have done earlier.

There was no longer the usual warmth in his eyes.

There was a secret there that he had been hiding for years.
