Forced to marry a paralyzed Don who swear he will never touch her.
She refuses to live unwanted in her own marriage.
My father's gambling debts bought me a husband and a cage.
Bruno Sartori didn't want a wife. He wanted proof he could still lead and Pietro handed him an arranged marriage as a test.
I was the transaction. The name on a contract. The woman assigned to the west wing while he stayed in the east and pretended I didn't exist.
He didn't speak to me for a week.
So I spoke for both of us.
I walked toward him when everyone else stepped aside. I knocked on his door when no one else dared. I sat with his family and smiled and held the room together while he sat at the head of the table looking at me like I was a problem he hadn't solved yet.
He was wrong about never touching me.
He was wrong about a lot of things.
But Bruno Sartori built his walls out of two years of grief and pride and rage — and I'm twenty-one years old with nothing left to lose and everything to prove.
This isn't the marriage he planned.
It's becoming something neither of us can walk away from.
