About
After eight years of unwavering devotion, Sofia stands at a crossroads, her heart heavy with the weight of betrayal. The man she once believed would be her forever, Lorenzo, has shifted his affections to a new ally, Francesca—a woman whose ambition seems to eclipse everything Sofia once held dear. As laughter and shared glances echo through the walls of their penthouse, Sofia grapples with the gnawing realization that she has become little more than a ghost haunting the edges of their lives.
When an unexpected allergic reaction lands her in a sterile hospital room, Sofia makes a bold decision: she will finally accept the arranged marriage she has long resisted. Just three days remain until she walks away from the life she clung to, a life filled with unfulfilled promises and half-hearted love. But as Lorenzo’s concern for Francesca intensifies, Sofia wonders if she’s truly ready to sever the ties that bind them.
Can she find the strength to step into a new future, or will the shadows of her past pull her back into the very love that betrayed her? As the countdown begins, secrets lurk in the corners, and the stakes are higher than ever.
Eight Years of Devotion, Yet the Mafia Boss Betrayed MeChapter 1
Sofia's POV
I was supposed to be walking toward a wedding altar—and the man I’d given eight years of my life to didn’t even know it was about to happen.
Lorenzo barely came home anymore. When he did, it was late, distracted, and already halfway gone. His focus had shifted to Francesca, his newly appointed consigliere assistant—a sharp-eyed woman with ambition written into the way she spoke. He’d hired her himself not long ago, and from the very beginning, something about them fit too easily. Too naturally.
In the glass-lined corridors of the penthouse office that doubled as one of his many mafia fronts, their voices carried freely. Low laughter, private jokes, shared glances reflected in polished marble and steel. They spoke as if the space belonged only to them, as if I were just another piece of furniture blending into the background.
