Discarded By My Mafia Husband: A Marriage Betrayal and Second Chance Romance (Make Them Pay Book 2)

For nine years, I believed I was Matteo Colt’s wife.

I gave him a son. Ran his mansion. Hosted dinners for politicians, killers, and men who pretended there was a difference.

Then Matteo told me the truth.

Our marriage was never legally filed.

He has known from the beginning.

Now he plans to marry Valentina Russo to secure a mafia alliance, while I remain in the house raising his son, managing his empire, and quietly warming his bed whenever his new wife is busy.

I might have survived the humiliation.

Then I found them together in my bedroom.

Valentina beneath my husband. My diamond necklace around her throat. The one Matteo gave me when our son was born.

That was the moment I stopped being useful.

And started becoming dangerous.

What Matteo doesn’t know is that the mansion, the family hotel, and the businesses making his criminal empire look respectable are all legally mine.

What I don’t expect is Dante Colt.

Matteo’s cousin. The family consigliere. The quiet, lethal man who has watched me hold everything together for nine years.

Dante offers me a lawyer, protection for my son, and a way out with no debt attached.

He says I was never property.

He says Matteo discarded the only woman worth keeping.

Now I have the deeds, a Chianti-red dress, and a ballroom filled with four hundred people who believe I’m about to watch my husband announce his new bride.

They’re wrong.

I’m taking the microphone.
