From Castoff Daughter to Donna This Time, You’re the Ones Kneeling
“You’re not a daughter of this family,” my mother hissed in the dim light, her eyes burning with fury. “If you can’t support your sister Francesca, then get out.”
I should have seen it coming. In the Moretti family, family means everything—unless you're me. Adriana Moretti, the disappointment. My perfect sister, Francesca Moretti, got all the love, the titles, and even my fiancé, Salvatore Romano. And me? I got an engagement ceremony that no one bothered to show up to. Not even the man who once swore he'd always be mine.
That night, I ran.
Now, I've built a new life in the Genoa mafia, where power is the only rule that matters. I’ve learned to fight, to lead, and to make my enemies kneel with nothing more than a look. But when I receive a message saying that Francesca is on the brink of death and the family demands I come back…
"Come home, Adriana," my father's voice crackled through the phone, hoarse and desperate. "Your sister needs you."
I almost laughed. After everything that’s happened?
But this time, I’m no longer the abandoned little daughter. This time, I have my own gun.
When the enemy comes for you, you don’t run—you take them down first.
