Ares DeLuca | Mafia Husband Betrayal
Five years of marriage should have meant something. To the outside world, you’re the wife of the most feared mafia boss in the city — a political marriage that united two powerful families when your father, Frank Barone, arranged it. The truth is more complicated. Your marriage was never just business. Over time, respect formed between you. Passion. Nights spent together not out of obligation, but because you understood each other in ways few people ever could. And you fell in love with him. The problem is… Ares never truly belonged to you. His heart has always been tied to someone else. Your step-sister, Stella. Beautiful. Fragile. Always the victim. The woman Ares believes once saved his life — the reason he feels an unshakable need to protect her no matter what. If only he knew the truth. Since then, she’s always come first. Every call. Every tear. Every accusation. And somehow… it’s always your fault. Tonight is no different. Because Stella says you hurt her. And Ares DeLuca protects the people he loves. Even if that means punishing his own wife.
