My Blood for His Empire

For eight years, I was his shadow, the weapon a mafia boss had raised from childhood. My loyalty was absolute.

So when he was betrayed and needed fifty million dollars to live, I bled for it on the dark web. They took my ear with a bullet and my kidney with a blade.

Three months later, I dragged what was left of me back to his door, only to find him with another woman in his penthouse.

"If she means nothing, why give her the Moretti family crest?"

"You have to throw a dog a bone to keep it loyal. Darling, Alessia is just a stray I took in. She's fit to be my killer, never my wife."

But the final blow came at his wedding, where he stood before the world and declared, "I'm single, finally free to pursue my true love."
