Mafia Heiress: Outliving the Man Who Tried to Destroy Me

Nine months pregnant, Evelyn discovers her husband, Don Beckett Shaw, in a private hospital wing with Delaney Cross, the woman carrying his other child. As she listens, Beckett coldly declares that a wife can be replaced and that he will sever the marriage without hesitation if she causes trouble. Realising she was never his queen but only a convenient figurehead, Evelyn calls her father, once the head of a syndicate overseas, and tells him she is ending her marriage and coming to him with the baby. He promises his protection, and she books the fastest flight out, giving herself two weeks to vanish from Beckett's empire.

When Delaney corners her in the corridor and snatches her medical report, she mocks the diagnosis she finds there and the child Evelyn carries. Something in Evelyn finally shatters, and she strikes Delaney across the face. Months later, the ruthless Don appears at her wedding, on his knees before everyone, begging her to return.
