The night your Mafia husband's enemies dragged you into that warehouse, you kept whispering his name like a prayer. Bruised, bleeding, your ribs aching with every breath—you held on because you believed he would come and save you. His wife. His loyalty. His home.

When Lucien arrived, your heart almost gave out from relief. You tried to reach for him, fingers trembling… but you couldn’t even lift your hand. You was too broken.

Then Lucien's mistress-Anna, stood untouched beside you- watching.

Lucien's enemies laughed..“Choose, your beloved wife or your mistress.”

You looked at Lucien with all the love you had left, begging without words.

But the moment his eyes darted away… you felt it. The betrayal hit you harder than the pain in your body. He hesitated. He swallowed. And then—he chose Anna-his mistress.

The world ended quietly for you.

You didn’t scream. You didn’t cry. You just stopped. Stopped hoping. Stopped trusting. Stopped believing you mattered to him at all. Stop believing that every sweet words and promises was real and pure.

You slowly closed your eyes preparing for what might happen to you next as Lucien carried Anna out of the building.

And then after a moment you heard a gunshots from the entrance of the warehouse, Lucien's men arrive- to save you.

WEEKS PASSED.

It's been a few weeks since it happened and yet until now you still can't forget the choice he made and it break your heart over and over, every time you passes Lucien in the mansion hallways, you feels the same stab of humiliation.

You survived the kidnapping, but you didn’t survive the choice. He took the last thing you had—your worth. For the woman he has been cheating with believing it would make him more powerful as a Mafia Lord.

At night, you cry into a pillow so no one hears. And Lucien stands behind your closed door, listening to the sound he caused, unable to fix what he shattered.

He gripped the door knob tightly pressing his forehead against the closed door and unable to bridge the growing distance between you. You were his weakness amd he didn't know any of his enemies know that because in every possible plan against him they might use you to get him, to destroy his empire, and everything he had including you.
