My Dead Husband Returned With Another Woman

Three years after I buried an empty casket for my husband, I found him alive in a grocery store parking lot. He was rubbing a stranger's pregnant belly, smiling a soft smile I had never seen in our years of marriage. My husband, the ruthless Don of Chicago, had become "Arthur," a gentle man with no memory of the empire he ruled or the wife he left behind. To protect his happiness, I swallowed my agony and lied. "I am his cousin," I told his pregnant fiancée, Mia. I brought them home to his estate, enduring the torture of watching him give her the tenderness that used to belong to me. But my mercy was rewarded with cruelty. Dante looked at me with cold, unfamiliar eyes and slapped divorce papers onto the table. "Sign them," he demanded, his voice devoid of emotion. "I want to marry Mia before the baby comes. I want a fresh start." He didn't know I was dying of a heart defect caused by the stress of grieving him. He didn't know I stalled for two weeks not for money, but because I wanted to be buried with his name. I died the morning the deadline arrived, taking the secret of my love to the grave. Ironically, that very night, a bullet grazed his temple during an ambush, unlocking the memories he had lost. He remembered the peach orchard. He remembered our blood oath. He remembered that I was his soulmate. He ran to my brother’s gates, screaming my name, blood pouring down his face, desperate to beg for forgiveness. But my brother just stood there, blocking the entrance to the cemetery with a cruel smile. "She waited for you every single day," he spat. "And you killed her."

Elena POV

The scent of peaches was so strong it made my mouth water, heavy and sweet in the air.

I was back in the orchard on the Vitiello estate.

The sun was high and hot, baking the earth, releasing the heady perfume of ripe fruit and dry grass.

I was twenty-one.

My white sundress danced around my legs, catching the warm breeze.

Dante was walking toward me between the rows of trees.

Gone was the tailored suit.

Instead, he was dressed in tactical gear, black and heavy, smelling of gun oil and leather.

He had just come from the shooting range.

He looked dangerous.

He looked like a god of war who had stumbled into a garden.

He stopped in front of me, blocking out the sun, casting me in his shadow.

He didn't smile often, but his eyes were warm when they landed on me.

"What are you looking at, Principessa?" he asked, his voice a low rumble that vibrated in my chest.

He reached out and tapped the tip of my nose with a calloused finger.

A silent, playful gesture.

I laughed, swatting his hand away, but the humor faded quickly.

"I'm looking at my husband," I said. "You're leaving soon."

His face grew serious, the warmth in his eyes dimming slightly.

"Just a dispute in Chicago. I'll be back before the peaches rot."

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the silver locket.

It was cool against my palm.

"Take this," I said. "So you remember who is waiting for you."

He took it.

His thumb brushed over the engraving.

E & D.

"I don't need silver to remember you, Elena," he said.

"Take it anyway."

He opened his hand.

In his palm sat a ring.

It was thick, silver, matching the locket's design.

"I had this made," he said. "A matching set. One stays with you. The other goes with me."

He slid the ring onto my finger.

It fit perfectly.

"This is our promise," he whispered, leaning his forehead against mine. "Wherever I am, this brings me back to you. Until death."

"Until death," I repeated.

He kissed me.

It tasted like peaches and gunpowder.

It tasted like eternity.

Discarded Mafia Bride: My Empire Rises

8.8

I woke from a five-year coma not to the faces of my family, but to my own death certificate. It was signed by my parents and my fiancé, Dante Moretti, the most ruthless Don in our world. He had sworn on his father's grave to wait for me. Instead, he replaced me with Sienna—the very woman who put me in that hospital bed. My own son, Luca, looked at me with cold, unfamiliar eyes. "You're not my mother," he sneered, hiding behind the woman who wore my face. My parents rushed to shield her, not me. "You must understand the bigger picture," my father said. "We did what was necessary for the Famiglia." But the final betrayal came after Sienna pushed me off a bridge and needed a blood transfusion. My own parents signed the consent form to use my blood, and my fiancé gave the order. "Save her," he snarled. The nurse told me they were ordered to "discard the blood bag after use." As if I were trash. I walked out of that hospital, a ghost in my own life. I took the new identity my old professor offered and vanished. This time, I wouldn't be Elara Bianchi, the tragic fiancée. I would build an empire of my own.

I Resign: The Mafia Boss's Unwanted Wife

I was gasping for air on the cold marble floor of the Syndicate Ball, my lungs seizing in a familiar, lethal rhythm. My inhaler was just five feet away, but it might as well have been miles. Dante Moretti, the man who bought my life with his blood eight years ago, looked right at me. He saw my panic. He saw the weakness he despised. Then, he turned his back on me to continue waltzing with his mistress. That betrayal was just the beginning. When the elevator trapped us days later, the lights flickering and the air growing thin, Dante didn't hesitate. He pried the doors open and carried Sofia out like a fragile bride. He left me—his wife with a diagnosed respiratory condition—alone in the suffocating dark to die. He missed my birthday dinner to comfort her on a Ferris Wheel, leaving me to celebrate with a single candle on a slice of toast. I finally realized that to him, I wasn't a wife to be cherished. I was just property to be owned. Something inside me didn't just break; it clicked into place. I stopped waiting for him to come home. I left my wedding ring on the table, blocked his number, and walked out into the night. Now, Dante is tearing the city apart to find me, claiming he realizes his mistake. But he's too late. Because the man standing beside me now isn't offering me a diamond ring or empty promises. He just handed me a loaded Glock and asked if I wanted to be his Queen.
