Amelia Sanders has always been the most rebellious among her parents' three daughters. She went against the rules placed on her by her family, because while her sisters obediently followed their father's choice of men and profession, Amelia dived Into the fashion world. She is independent and successful, not relying on anyone until she met Jason- her ex boyfriend, the one guy whom she truly loved and whom she thought loved her back until he betrayed her and cheated on her with her cousin. He had the nerve to invite her to their engagement party. Amelia was heartbroken but refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She goes to a bar with her best friend Cora and gets drunk. In her drunken state she proposed marriage to an aloof , cold businessman, known as Luciano Rodriguez. He gave off a dangerous suffocating aura that made him seem like more than a businessman. Everyone else, even his friends, expected him to reject Amelia's proposal, but in a turn of events, he accepted the proposal and even went as far as holding a press conference to announce it. Could it be that Amelia caught his eyes or he has ulterior motives for accepting the proposal, was their meeting a planned coincidence or was it just plain fate. What happens when his relationship with the mafia was exposed to Amelia. What will be their fate when Jason gives a mind-blowing reason for breaking up with Amelia.

Chapter 1 Drunk

Amelia smiled at the wine glass in her hand, she just attended her ex's engagement with her goody two shoes cousin and they expected her to congratulate those cheaters.

The joke's on them for thinking of her as a weakling, ah , she is Amelia the only one that was brave enough to go against family rules and ethics, following her dream of becoming a designer.

A frown adorned her beautiful face when someone took the wine from her.

"Hey, I am not done with that yet.'' she slurred, she turned slightly her hair covering part of her face but it didn't obstruct her view.

"Get a hold of yourself will you, I thought you were over him, he cheated for God's sake.'' the person scolded, it was her best friend, infact her only friend- Cora.

"I am so over him, Cora , I just want to get wasted tonight " Amelia replied.

"Over him my ass" Cora spat

"I am seriously over him,what do I need to do to prove it to you " Amelia slurred trying to reach for the wine glass but Cora took it further away from her.

"Date someone for reals, not this -' I need to get him out of my system ' dating that you are doing." Cora said. She has been friends with Amelia since high school, so she could read her like an open book.

"I will not just date anyone but I will be getting married tonight",she announced suddenly with so much determination.

"What, Amelia, you had too much to drink, let's get you home."Cora urgued but Amelia kept holding onto the table.

On the other end of the bar in a VIP booth, a young man giving off a cold aura sat imposingly on the couch. He scanned the area like he wanted to imprint it in his head.

"Yo you guys , look what the cat dragged in"Davis one of his friends said as he settled beside the imposing man.

"The famous businessman, the one and only ice king." Ivan teased but he still kept quiet.

"Luciano, what's for dinner."Davis said with an ambiguous tone, because he ate small and big businesses for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Just then a loud noise drew their attention.

"What was that?" Ivan asked.

They soon found out because an obviously drunk woman sashed into their booth.

"You in the middle, let's get married."she declared leaving everyone present speechless, some of the people at the bar who attracted by the noise made their way there, some of them made videos of the scene.

It's gonna be iconic- the queen of scandals proposing to the ice king and getting rejected. But they were in for the shock of their lives.

"How dare you barge in here and spill such nonsense from your mouth." Davis snapped but Luciano's next words left him speechless.

"Why not, as long as you are willing"

This was the first sentence he said since his arrival and it left them even more speechless.

"Amelia, what are you doing in here, I told you to wait in the car" Cora scolded, she didn't take notice of the men the room and attempted to take Amelia out of the booth because there were people peeking into the booth, she believed that Amelia must have done something embarrassing.

"Cora I am getting married don't take me away from my husband," She whined.

"To whom are you getting married to, you don't go proposing marriage to strangers ." Cora expressed but Amelia seemed lost to reason. The people present were enjoying the drama unfolding before them, the queen of scandals proposing marriage to the ice king, tomorrow's headline will be hot.

"Husband let's go before they try to separate us again " Amelia said clinging tightly to Luciano who in turn took her to the car and drove off leaving a stunned audience behind.

************

At the civil affairs beareu, Amelia was grinning from ear to ear whilst holding the marriage certificate.

" I got married before you" she thought excitedly as she skipped out of the beareu.

Cora had the feeling that by morning she would regret it all.

"Cora I am going home with my husband don't wait for me." With that she skipped all the way to Luciano's car while humming a sweet tune to herself.

Luciano joined her in the car and drove off. Cora couldn't believe what just happened. Did her friend just get married to a random stranger and that too from a club, when she wakes up in the morning, she'd totally regret her actions tonight. With a loud sigh she left in her car.

**************

True to Cora's thoughts, Amelia woke up in the morning, sober, trying to figure out where she was and what she was doing here.

"Where am I, did I drink too much, I hope I didn't..... Ahhhh" she screamed as she saw a half naked man beside her, her sheriking voice woke Luciano.

"Good morning wifey" Luciano said with a playful smile on his still sleepy face. Seeing them now , one would think that were a couple so in love.

"Wife, who is your wife? ." She said trying to sound confident ' what the hell did I do last night ' she thought inwardly.

" You wound me wifey" Luciano said with a mock sad expression.

"Stop calling me that I am not your wi...." She shut up when it all came back to her.

"F**k" she cursed.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
