Aria Vescari was never the sister meant to be noticed. She lived in the quiet corners of her family's life, eclipsed by Bella-the favored daughter, the beauty, the one adored by all. While Bella basked in admiration and luxury, Aria worked quietly, attempting to build a life of her own, far from the expectations and spotlight that never seemed to touch her. But everything changed when her father's company stood at the edge of collapse. Desperate and drowning in debt, he reached out to old connections, unaware of the chain reaction he was about to set in motion. Leonardo Matteo Ricci was a man forged in cold ambition. He didn't believe in love, in softness, or in second chances. Raised at the helm of a ruthless Mafia empire, he learned early that emotion was weakness, and power meant survival. To the outside world, he was a billionaire businessman, sharp and controlled. Behind closed doors, he was a strategist-a man who moved pieces, not people. The only thing he never allowed himself to be was a pawn. When his mother demanded marriage, Leonardo didn't argue. He didn't believe in the illusion of choice or freedom. If it had to happen, it would be on his terms. He chose a bride with precision, not passion. He didn't pick the girl who flirted in diamonds or laughed too loudly at his words. He chose the one who stood in silence. The one who didn't look at him with infatuation, but with wariness. He chose Aria. It wasn't about love. It was about leverage. Her father's debt would vanish. In return, she would wear his ring. Aria didn't ask for the arrangement. She didn't dream of power or privilege. But when faced with her family's ruin, she accepted what she couldn't change. In a single moment, she stepped into a world she didn't understand, beside a man she didn't trust, bound by a vow that wasn't built on affection-but control. Their marriage was cold from the beginning. Leonardo made no effort to pretend otherwise. Aria was given status, wealth, a new name-but no warmth. In public, she became Mrs. Ricci. In private, she was alone. And yet, Aria didn't break. She adapted. She observed. She stayed quiet, but never small. She learned to navigate the world of underground politics and whispered threats. She didn't chase Leonardo's attention or beg for his affection. That silence, more than anything, began to pull him in. He didn't understand her. She wasn't like the women who surrounded him. She didn't flatter. She didn't scheme. She didn't pretend. She simply existed-unmoved, unshaken, and completely uninterested in what he could offer. And that made her dangerous in a way he never expected. Behind closed doors, the air shifted. It wasn't warmth, not yet. But tension. A kind of awareness neither of them spoke of. There were stolen glances across marble halls, an accidental brush of hands, the heaviness of words left unsaid. Slowly, without meaning to, they became something more than strangers bound by contract. But not everyone welcomed the shift. Bella watched the world she thought was hers unravel. She had spent years imagining herself beside Leonardo-imagining power, love, and a name like Ricci attached to her own. Aria's marriage felt like betrayal. And in betrayal, she found rage. Jealousy turned sharp. Whispers turned into sabotage. Bella wasn't just heartbroken-she was humiliated. In her eyes, Aria had stolen the life she was born for. And she would stop at nothing to take it back. Tensions rose inside the house and outside its walls. Leonardo's enemies, always watching, began to notice his attention shifting. They saw in Aria something rare-a weakness they could exploit. In the shadows of loyalty and power, danger circled. A single misstep could mean war. Leonardo had never cared for weakness. But for the first time, he cared for her. What began as a calculated decision turned into something neither of them could define. He began to protect her-not out of obligation, but instinct. He saw how she moved, how she listened, how she began to understand the weight of the world she married into. And Aria, who once only wanted freedom, now had to decide what that meant. Because freedom might mean walking away. And leaving might mean losing everything they'd quietly built. As Bella pushed further into chaos, as enemies in the criminal underworld sharpened their blades, as Leonardo's control began to fray beneath the pressure of emotion he didn't know how to name-Aria became the center of it all. No longer the invisible sister. No longer the quiet girl. She was the wife of a man feared by an entire city. A woman others wanted to break, who refused to bend. A girl who once lived in shadows, now standing in the most dangerous spotlight of all. Their marriage wasn't romantic. It wasn't perfect. It wasn't built on dreams. But it was real. And in the world they belonged to-real was the only thing that survived.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours.
