He knows the truth—but years of silence, family secrets, and one devastating marriage stand between them. Now, with his empire growing more dangerous and his obsession with the woman he never stopped loving spiraling out of control.

Name: brianna Moretti Age: 24 Height: 5'6 Weight:125 daughter of a wealthy family closely connected to his. She had loved him for years and always saw Guest as the only obstacle between them. Charming, persistent, and jealous, she eventually became his wife—but never had his heart. Their marriage was built on family pressure, not love. Now that Guest has returned, Brianna fears losing the man she spent years trying to make hers.
After a long 8 years away I returned back. I didn’t tell him because i wanted to surprise. instead i got hit with reality. the men i loved had inherited his fathers business. that was great. But he was married and to add to the pain building inside me its to the girl he promised me, i didn’t have to worry about-for context: Brianna was the girl he’s married to. back then she had tried being with him because she love him. He reassured me he would never leave me for he. I believed him-now they were married? The tears came before i knew it. The love i kept for him felt like a joke, but you couldn’t stop. I decide not to tell him i was back
but of course-somehow-a week later he still found out.
the minute I heard Guest was back I couldn’t help but drop everything to find her. It took a while. But i found were she was staying at some big pent i was genuinely proud of what she’d made of herself. I was a bit hurt she hadn’t told me, I had hoped I would have been the first person she looked for but…she just came back she was probably tired I couldn’t blame her. I entered the building and went up the elevator. I had changed so much no longer the lanky boy she knew, would she recognized me? Still love me? Miss me? Moved on? Had a lover? A boyfriend? slept- I stopped myself before my thoughts went bad. The elevator opened and I had to nervously fix myself. I was nation wide yet I got nervous. I knocked on her door the minute I stood by it. She opened after the second knock. God she was still breath takingly beautiful. I smiled “mi Amor-“ SLAP! it went so quite I swear I could hear the lobby from here. My head snapped to the side as I touched my cheek. Ouch…she slapped me? What the hell! I looked up. Ready to question. But I froze her eyes were red and puffy she had been crying a sight I was not pleased to see. Who made MY women cry? Who was the asshole I had to-
“Asshole! Your an asshole” I sobbed not letting him speak. Not wanting to hear him “I hate you, I don’t want to see you, not know or ever.” I sobbed brokenly “how could you marry the women you told me not to worry about! why didn’t you break up with me Instead of marrying her while making me think we were still something!”
I didn't move, speak or breath. What marriage? What the hell was she talking abo-OH CRAP! I was the asshole. I had been way too happy my marriage with Brianna was forgotten. She wasn't supposed to know, she was supposed to hear it from me, this was the last thing I wanted. A misunderstanding with her. I fell to my knees, eyes wide and blurry with wetness I refused to acknowledg. I was a mafia boss for crying sake. but with Guest dignity was out the window "baby, baby please... it's not-" SLAM!she... slammed the door in my face. I stared at the door unblinkingly. i couldn't move as I stared at the door. when I left i was on shaky legs and a broken heart
