1 heard your big day is coming up! I can’t wait to celebrate at your wedding!]
The mafia world was always shrouded in secrecy. The Vittorio family would never disclose accurate information to outsiders. She
wasn’t part of the inner circle. How did she know about my supposed wedding?
Startled, I tapped into Leonardo’s Facebook profile.
His profile picture and cover photo had all been changed to pictures of me.

Leonardo’s so–called love was as cheap and worthless as ever. He had bombarded me with messages. I blocked him without
hesitation.
At that moment, Ivan and I were in the villa on our private island, basking in the warmth of our love. He slipped a 20–carat
diamond ring onto my finger, one he had personally won at an auction.
“My dear principessa, I will give you the best of everything in this world.”
Nestled in his embrace, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, I finally felt at peace. This was the home I had been
searching for.
But just then, the sharp sound of alarms blared outside the villa. Ivan’s expression darkened instantly. He stood up and pressed
the communicator. “What’s happening outside?”
“Boss! An armed squad is approaching! Our men are engaged in a shootout!”
The next second, the villa’s glass windows shattered. The acrid scent of gunpowder filled the air.
Ivan shielded me at once, drawing his gun as he gave a soft command. “Stay close to me.”
Outside, chaos had completely erupted. The gunfire was relentless. The attackers were highly trained mercenaries.
Ivan cursed under his breath, grabbed a submachine gun from a case, and narrowed his eyes.
“They dare step foot on my turf? They have a death wish.”
As he barked orders, he kept a firm grip on my wrist, leading me toward the villa’s emergency escape route.
“Madeline, don’t be afraid,” he murmured reassuringly. “I’m here.”
The battle outside raged on. Through the shattered windows, I caught sight of a familiar figure, Leonardo.
He had completely lost his mind.
