Chapter 1

Sienna POV

The live feed on the sixty-inch monitor was grainy, yet the image was sharp enough to stop my heart.

My father was on his knees.

My mother was beside him.

They were bound with zip ties, their ankles weighed down by cinder blocks, teetering on the edge of the rusted pier where I had spent my childhood gutting mackerel.

"Look at them, Sienna."

Dante Vitiello didn't shout.

He didn't have to.

As the Capo dei Capi of the New York families, his whisper carried more weight than a gunshot.

I stood in the center of his mahogany office, my hands trembling at my sides.

I couldn't scream.

I hadn't spoken a word since I was six years old, since the day I watched a rival gang cut out my uncle's tongue.

Dante knew this.

He used my silence like a weapon.

He walked around his desk, his Italian suit cutting a sharp silhouette against the city skyline.

He smelled of expensive bourbon and the cold, metallic tang of violence.

"You have been difficult lately," he said, stopping right in front of me. "Refusing to attend the gala. Refusing to accept Valeria's position in this house."

He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

His touch was ice, yet it burned like a brand.

"Valeria is family," he continued, his voice devoid of empathy. "Her father controls the ports. She stays. You accept it. Or the feed goes dark."

He gestured to the screen.

On the monitor, a masked soldier held a pistol to my father's head.

My father, a man who smelled of salt and sweat, who paid Dante protection money every week just to breathe.

I signed frantically, my hands moving in a blur of desperation.

She humiliates me. She treats me like a servant in my own home.

Dante caught my wrists.

His grip was bruising, halting my voice before I could finish the sentence.

"You are not a servant," he growled, his dark eyes boring into mine. "You are a Vitiello. Act like it. Pride is a luxury you cannot afford when your parents are at the bottom of the Hudson."

The door to the office opened.

Valeria walked in.

She was beautiful in a way that made your stomach hurt-sharp, polished, and lethal.

Tall, blonde, vicious.

She wore a silk robe that I recognized.

It was mine.

"Dante," she purred, ignoring me completely as if I were part of the furniture. "My father is asking about the shipment."

Dante didn't let go of my wrists.

"It's handled," he said to her, eyes still locked on me. "Sienna was just agreeing to our terms."

He looked at the screen again.

"Nod," he commanded.

I looked at my parents.

My mother was crying, her shoulders shaking even through the pixelated feed.

I felt bile rise in my throat.

I nodded.

One stiff, broken movement.

Dante released me.

"Good girl."

He pulled his phone out and typed a message.

On the screen, the soldier lowered the gun and stepped back.

But they didn't cut the zip ties.

"They stay there for the night," Dante said, turning his back on me to pour a drink for Valeria. "To remind you of the consequences of disobedience."

I turned and ran.

I ran out of the office, down the marble hallway that felt more like a mausoleum than a home.

I made it to the bathroom and locked the door.

I sank to the floor, hugging my knees against my chest to keep from falling apart.

Accepting Valeria meant accepting death by a thousand cuts.

Refusing meant my parents' death.

There was no way out.

Not alive.

Unless I changed the rules.

I pulled my burner phone from my pocket.

My hands shook so hard I dropped it twice before I could unlock the screen.

I texted Gia.

I need it. The pufferfish toxin. Tonight.

The reply came three seconds later.

Are you sure? There is no coming back from this.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Pale skin, hollow eyes.

The mute fisherman's daughter who thought she could marry a King and survive.

I'm sure, I typed back.

Bring it to the back gate.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
