My Don’s Deadly Choice

Eight months pregnant, Arabella attends a charity gala with her husband, Don Massimo, when the rival Moretti family attacks. She is shoved down, and in the chaos she loses her baby. Waking in a hospital wheelchair, she overhears Massimo and Dr. Valenti: only one medical team was available, and he chose to save Bianca's child instead. He orders that Arabella be told Bianca's son is her own, that the dead infant's records be wiped clean, and that she be injected with a sterilization drug so she can never bear another heir.

When Massimo's deputy Alex reports the Moretti attack was an inside job, Massimo admits he welcomed it as a way to make Arabella lose their child without blame falling on him. He had been with Bianca in Miami for months, and the glass studio he promised Arabella on Lake Michigan now belongs to her rival.

Too weak to strike back, Arabella endures, hiding her knowledge behind silence. The Don who once fed her soup now holds her fate, and she waits for the moment she can answer betrayal with war.
