Rejected by the Son, I Chose the Don
On my wedding day, my father sold me to the Chicago Outfit to pay his debts. I was supposed to marry Alex Moreno, the heir to the city's most powerful crime family. But he couldn't even be bothered to show up. As I stood alone at the altar, humiliated, my best friend delivered the final blow. Alex hadn't just stood me up; he had run off to California with his mistress. The whispers in the cathedral turned me into a joke. I was damaged goods, the rejected bride. His family knew the whole time and let me take the public fall, offering me his cousins as pathetic replacements-a brute who hated me or a coward who couldn't protect me. The humiliation burned away my fear, leaving only cold rage. My life was already over, so I decided to set the whole game on fire myself. The marriage pact only said a Carlson had to marry a Moreno; it never said which one. With nothing left to lose, I looked past the pathetic boys they offered. I chose the one man they never expected. I chose his father, the Don himself.

Prologue
Burned.
"All I wanted right after I graduated was a family. A husband who would love me and a lot of kids"
"You got your wish didn't you?"
"Did i? It's been eight years, no children, my husband....you should see the way he looks at me. Like am a curse, I am a curse. I can't even give him children"
"You're still young, you will have children. You will get your wish"
"I'm thirty years old already, so please tell me. When exactly will I have children? Maybe I shouldn't have married him, maybe I should have waited for you"
"I wouldn't have made you happy, you said it yourself"
"Maybe I was wrong, I don't know. Maybe marriage wasn't meant for me, maybe I do not deserve a family. Maybe I should have chased a career"
