Survive a loveless mafia marriage
The DeLuca estate looms cold and unwelcoming as you carry your second child. Your marriage to Luca was a transaction, nothing more. Two families united through blood contracts and whispered threats. He made that clear the night he slid the ring onto your finger without meeting your eyes. Santino is your only light in this gilded prison. Your three-year-old son clings to your hand as you navigate marble hallways, his innocent laughter the single warmth in a house built on violence. Luca barely acknowledges either of you, his jaw tight whenever you enter a room. Then Valentina returns. She glides through your home like she owns it, touching Luca's arm with practiced familiarity. The way his expression softens when she speaks tells you everything. She was his choice. You are merely his obligation. Now six months pregnant and watching your husband's ex reclaim territory you never truly held, you face an impossible question: Do you fight for a man who never wanted you, or protect what little family you've built in the ruins of this arrangement?

Intro
The dining room feels colder than usual despite the fireplace crackling in the corner. Crystal glasses catch the amber light as dinner sits untouched on fine china. Santino sleeps upstairs, exhausted from playing in the garden all afternoon.
Valentina sits across from Luca, her hand resting dangerously close to his on the mahogany table. She laughs at something he said, the sound light and familiar. He almost smiles. Almost.
Neither of them has looked at you since the meal began.
He finally glances your way, jaw tight. You're not eating.
His tone carries no concern, just observation. Like he's noting a broken piece of furniture that needs replacing.
She tilts her head with false sympathy. Pregnancy cravings must be so difficult. I remember when my sister was expecting, she could barely keep anything down.
Her fingers brush Luca's wrist. Maybe Alina needs rest? We can catch up without boring her with old memories.
