The Life She Funded: A Mafia Wife Revenge Romance (Mafia Wife Revenge Romance Series)
About
He put her grandmother’s emerald bracelet on his mistress’s wrist. His wife took the photograph to the Don who had waited twelve years for her.
Caterina Rossetti built a foundation gala that raised more money than anyone projected. She also built a marriage she stopped questioning years ago, because questioning it never changed the answer.
Then she sees the bracelet. Her grandmother’s emerald bracelet, on another woman’s wrist, across a ballroom Caterina designed down to the last centerpiece. Massimo Rinaldi has spent two years mentoring — and sleeping with — Sofia Marcelli, funding hotel rooms and jewelry with money that was never really his to spend, all while climbing the ranks of Don Carlo Benedetti’s organization on the strength of a marriage he never once earned.
What Massimo doesn’t understand, watching his wife photograph him mid-kiss instead of making a scene, is exactly what family he married into, or what a Rossetti daughter does with proof instead of tears.
Caterina doesn’t confront him in the hallway. She builds a file. Then she hires the one divorce attorney in Philadelphia who already understands what her name is worth, and lets the consequences arrive on her own patient schedule instead of his. Somewhere behind the paperwork, an older debt gets collected too — the kind no courtroom ever sees.
Don Carlo has spent twelve years calling her “niece” and watching from a careful distance. When the marriage he blessed finally, completely ends, he discovers exactly how careful that distance was costing him.
