“You don’t deserve the Moretti name,” my mother, Isabella, had snarled, her eyes glinting like poison in the firelight. “If you can’t support your sister, Chloe, the heir, then get out.” I should have seen it coming. In the Moretti family, family is everything—unless you’re me. Alessia Moretti, the disappointment. While my beloved sister, Chloe, got the love, the title, and even the loyalty of my fiancé, Nico, I got an engagement party with no guests. Not even the man who’d sworn he’d always be mine showed up. That night, I ran. Now, I’ve carved out a new life for myself with an Eastern European crew, where bullets settle every argument. I learned to count cash, to kill, and to make men twice my size back down with a single glare. But when a message arrives that Chloe is on the verge of death, the family demands my return. “Come home, Alessia,” my father, Lorenzo, the Don of the Moretti family, had crackled over the phone. “Your sister needs you.” I almost laughed. After everything they’d done? But this time, I wasn’t the weak principessa they’d cast aside.

Everyone claims that Scott Kennedy, the youthful successor to one of California's most prominent families, wed a simpleton. Regrettably, I'm the alleged simpleton they can't cease discussing. I never truly grasped the concept of "first love" until someone remarked, "Scott's first love is his soulmate. And you? You're merely the simpleton he was compelled to marry." I couldn't contain myself. I crumbled, sobbing uncontrollably and collapsing to the ground like a child throwing a fit. For truly, what other recourse did I have? I am a simpleton—or at least that's all anyone appears to believe. Yet even after all that, he still brought her back. "You're so innocent and good-natured," he said, almost beseeching as if requesting a favor. "Please, allow her to stay. Alright?" Everyone labels me a simpleton, but even a simpleton like me comprehends one basic truth—my spouse is supposed to be mine alone. If Scott begins falling for another, then... I no longer want him.

"Du verdienst den Namen Moretti nicht", hatte meine Mutter, Isabella, gezischt, ihre Augen glänzten wie Gift im Feuerschein. "Wenn du deine Schwester Chloe, die Erbin, nicht unterstützen kannst, dann verschwinde." Ich hätte es kommen sehen müssen. In der Familie Moretti ist Familie alles – es sei denn, du bist ich. Alessia Moretti, die Enttäuschung. Während meine geliebte Schwester Chloe die Liebe, den Titel und sogar die Loyalität meines Verlobten Nico bekam, erhielt ich eine Verlobungsfeier ohne Gäste. Nicht einmal der Mann, der geschworen hatte, immer der Meine zu sein, tauchte auf. In dieser Nacht floh ich. Jetzt habe ich mir ein neues Leben mit einer osteuropäischen Crew aufgebaut, wo Kugeln jeden Streit beilegen. Ich lernte Bargeld zu zählen, zu töten und Männer, die doppelt so groß sind wie ich, mit einem einzigen Blick zurückweichen zu lassen. Aber als eine Nachricht eintrifft, dass Chloe am Rande des Todes steht, verlangt die Familie meine Rückkehr. "Komm nach Hause, Alessia", hatte mein Vater Lorenzo, der Don der Familie Moretti, am Telefon geknirscht. "Deine Schwester braucht dich." Ich hätte fast gelacht. Nach allem, was sie getan hatten? Aber diesmal war ich nicht mehr die schwache Principessa, die sie beiseitegeschoben hatten.
