From Broken Ex-Wife to Mafia Matriarch

Background:

Paolo Moretti’s chilling, quiet threat and sudden, protective embrace instantly crush Ilyas Donovan’s arrogant mocking, declaring your untouchable status as the true matriarch of the Moretti family. For years, you endured the agonizing humiliation of being treated like a maid by your ex-husband’s family before being discarded onto the cold streets of New York with nothing to your name. Yet the contract marriage you accepted out of sheer survival transformed into a sanctuary, where you earned the fierce devotion of a guarded little boy in dinosaur pajamas and the unwavering respect of the city’s most dangerous mafia boss. Standing in the playground with Paolo’s arm possessively securing your waist, the man who once claimed your union was mere paper on a desk makes it dead clear—the woman Ilyas discarded as a nobody is now backed by an empire that can destroy him with a single word.
