When the Mafia Boss Returned with a Pregnant MistressChapter 1
Avery’s POV
It was meant to mark our ninth year together—nine years sworn under candlelight and blood oaths, nine years of loyalty I had believed was unbreakable.
Instead, the doors of the penthouse palazzo swung open and Don Zachary Moretti walked in with another woman at his side.
His arm was locked around her waist in a way that was unmistakably possessive, the kind of hold men used when they wanted the room to understand ownership. Her silk dress clung to the curve of her stomach, stretched tight over a child that was undeniably his.
For almost a decade, he had made me feel untouchable.
I had been the Don’s wife—the woman whose presence silenced rooms, whose name made capos straighten their backs. He had sent black roses flown straight from Sicily, kissed my knuckles in front of rival families, and vowed in front of witnesses that there would never be another woman beside him.
And now?
Now he stood in our home—my home—displaying another woman like proof of conquest, as if betrayal were something to celebrate.
