He Betrayed the Wrong Mafia PrincessChapter 1
It just so happened that my brother had come from Ferrante Bay that night to persuade me on behalf of our parents, hoping I'd stop being stubborn with the family. He arrived just in time to pull me away from a group of men who had been looking to take advantage of me.
Who would have thought that him bringing me to a hotel to rest would be caught on camera by someone with ulterior motives?
No wonder Nico had been acting so strangely ever since that night, distant yet still tried to act warmly. Turns out, he had been holding it in all this time. He waited until I had secured major clients for him and quietly leveraged my family's influence to help push his crew toward recognition by the Commission. Tonight, he finally chose to lash out.
I was disappointed by his lack of trust in me.
Yet, he was also the first man I had ever truly fallen for. I don't want us to drift apart because of a misunderstanding.
Even more, I didn't want my parents to find out that my first all-consuming love had ended before it even truly began. After all, I had fled Ferrante Bay to escape the alliance marriage they had arranged for me.
