The Man Left Behind in His Own Marriage

Summary

My mother and sister never liked me.

The only son they ever truly cared about was my older brother, Lucian Vieri.

Before she married me, Serafina Valcieri, the only daughter of one of the most feared syndicates in the country, was always the one who stepped in when I was cornered, mocked, or blamed for things that were never mine to carry.

She never said much. She just made people back off.

Then she married me.

Then, not long ago, Lucian shoved me off a ski slope.

I said he meant to kill me.

My mother called it an accident.

My sister said he had only been trying to save me.
