Two brothers. One bride. And an unborn heir with the wrong blood.
Ysabella Corsi thought the tragedy of her life was being forced to marry Matteo Santoro, the ruthless Capo of La Nostra. She was wrong. The real tragedy was the secret she carried in her womb: a child belonging to Matteo's exiled brother, Dominic.
Matteo didn't kill her for the betrayal. Instead, he did something far worse.
He claimed the child. He burned her past to ash. He built a nursery that looked like a cage and promised to raise the child, to hate his true father.
But on the night the heir was born, the screams stopped, and the room went terrifyingly silent. The baby didn't cry. And Matteo Santoro made a choice that would change the course of their history.
Six years later, Ysabella is the devoted Queen of the Santoro empire, standing by her husband's side. But in the shadow of a small marble tombstone, a question still haunts the estate:
What really happened in the delivery room? Or is the perfect family Ysabella has six years later built on the darkest lie of all?
Welcome to the Santoro Estate. Where love is a weakness, and silence is the only way to survive.
