I swore I’d never marry. Not after watching my powerful mother cry every night because my father abandoned her. But when she threatened to cut me off unless I married, I made a choice. If I ever walked down the aisle, it wouldn’t be with a rich man. It would be with someone poor. Humble. Too grateful to ever betray me. That’s why I ignored my ex and chose Matteo—the charming bartender who said yes to my impulsive proposal. But I was wrong. Horribly wrong. Because the moment he got everything he wanted… I discovered the truth. And it broke me in the most devastating way.
