She said "I do" with his confession hidden in her bouquet.Twelve minutes before her wedding, Seraphina Vale watched a video of the man she was about to marry ordering her father's death. She did not scream or run. She slid the phone between the roses, walked down the aisle, and said yes to Dante Rossi.She did not come to love him. She came to destroy him.But Dante is not the husband she planned for. He knows she is lying, and he lets her search his safe, his study, and his skin, night after night, and never once stops her. He keeps her father's pen and rebuilds her father's study down to the lamp on the floor. He admits his guilt in a single word, then refuses to explain it."You kissed me like you were checking for a pulse."The closer she gets to the truth, the less it looks like the revenge she planned. He grieves her father like a son. He watches her like a man who has been waiting for her all his life. And someone out there knows what Seraphina did in the weeks before Elias Vale died.She wants him destroyed. He wants a forgiveness he will never ask for.Some truths are a mercy. Some are a sentence.How do you hate the man who is the only one protecting you?
