Nero: Dark Mafia Romance

AURORA

I was four seconds from saying I do to the wrong man.

My father sold me to save his own neck. I made my peace with it. I'm good at that. I've been holding my family together with both hands since I was nine years old, and a husband I don't love is just one more thing to manage.

Then the doors at the back of the church opened.

Nero Castelli walked up the aisle with his men behind him and took my hand at the altar. He didn't ask. He said he needed a wife, and that if I came quietly, nobody had to bleed.

So I went.

He's cold. He's patient. He never lies and he never raises his voice, and he watches me as if he's been doing it for years.

I married him with a blade strapped to my thigh.

And sooner or later I'm going to find out what's under all that ice.

NERO

I've wanted exactly one thing in my life that I never let myself touch.

Then her father sold her to my enemy.

Now she wears my ring, sleeps behind a locked door, and counts the days until she can prove our marriage was never real. She holds one sentence that could take everything I have. All she has to do is say it.

I won't stop her. I won't lie to her. I won't lay a finger on her until she asks me to.

But I took her. And I'm not giving her back.
