The town of Willowbrook had always been a place of quiet charm-a world untouched by the rush of modernity. Nestled between rolling hills and dense, whispering forests, it was a town where time moved gently, and life followed the rhythm of the seasons. Emily had known Willowbrook all her life. She had grown up wandering its cobbled streets, listening to the hum of the marketplace, and watching the same sun dip behind the hills each evening. The scent of fresh-baked bread from the bakery, the distant laughter of children playing near the old oak tree, the familiar sight of Mrs. Alden sweeping her front porch at precisely seven every morning-these were the things she had known since childhood. And yet, despite the warmth of familiarity, something deep inside her yearned for more. Emily had always felt like an outsider in her own home-a dreamer among those content with ordinary lives. The world outside Willowbrook called to her in ways she couldn't explain. It was a whisper in the wind, a tug at her heart, a force she could no longer ignore. And so, she had made her decision. This was the morning she would leave.

I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest. I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter. "Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks. I blink. I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone. My lips tremble as I force the truth down my throat, "Yes, I do." I murmur, my voice a little over a whisper. ~~~~ Ariel Hannah Boone didn't know what life had in store for her when she woke up on her twin sister's wedding day, only to find out her sister had run away. She went into panic when her mother insisted she take her place because Dermos Salvatore was no man to joke with. Dermos was the most feared Don in the whole of Sicily, one who killed without care. A blood thirsty murderer with no remorse. In an attempt to save her family from his wrath, she takes her sister's place at the wedding. Pain, suffering, and betrayal are all she knows the moment she became his. Secrets begin to unveil as she realises her family isn't what it seems. And when whispers of her sister's disappearance reach her, she finds out the truth. He never wanted Ariella; it had always been her. Ariel has to choose between a love built on lies or betraying her sister and family. She was his bride, and he was her prison, yet he would never let her go.
