Accidentally Killed His Fiancee

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I was securing the diamond clasp of my necklace when the security monitor blinked to life, revealing my husband burying his face between his assistant's thighs.

Just an hour later, Dante Moretti stood by my side at the Gala, playing the part of the devoted Capo, while his mistress smirked at me from across the room in a dress that screamed for attention.

I wanted to leave. I had packed my bags, ready to disappear.

But then the doctor told me the news: I was six weeks pregnant with the Vitiello-Moretti heir.

I thought the baby might save us. I thought it would stop the madness.

I was wrong.

When his mistress accused me of betrayal to cover her own tracks, Dante didn't listen to his wife. He listened to the woman warming his bed.

In a blind rage, the man who swore to protect me struck me down.

I felt the sharp, tearing pain in my abdomen before I even hit the stone floor.

As blood stained my pristine white dress, I realized he hadn't just broken his vows.

He had killed our unborn son.

So, when the opportunity came to detonate the gas line and fake my own death, I didn't hesitate.

I let the world believe Seraphina Moretti died in that explosion.

Ten years later, I returned to a city that thought I was a ghost.

I dismantled his supply lines, froze his assets, and watched his empire crumble piece by piece.

And when he was finally on his knees in the rain, broken and destitute, I stepped out of the shadows.

I didn't come back for his money.

I came back to hand him the ultrasound photo of the child he murdered.

"Hello, Dante."

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV

I was securing the diamond clasp of my necklace when the security monitor blinked to life, revealing my husband burying his face between his assistant's thighs.

He was doing this just an hour before he was supposed to pledge his eternal loyalty to me in front of the Five Families.

My hands froze at my throat. The cold metal of the necklace suddenly felt like a noose.

On the screen, Dante Moretti-the Capo dei Capi, the man they called The Shark because he never stopped moving and he never stopped killing-looked nothing like the monster the city feared.
