Don, I'm Done Playing Your Fake Bride

Pia Bellucci descends from the slums in Hughlin.

Orphans like her are supposed to spend their lives struggling in the bottom rung of society. They are meant to live in the darkness till they draw their last breaths.

But the appearance of Vito Castaldo, the Don of the Castaldo family, has completely rewritten Pia's fate.

Thanks to Pia's resilience and talent, she fights against all odds and becomes Vito's personal bodyguard. She takes it upon herself to block all harm coming his way and resolve deadly crises for him.

Once, when Pia gets kidnapped by Vito's rivals in his stead and almost dies in that ordeal, Vito confesses his feelings to her after rescuing her. After that, he holds an engagement banquet and slides a diamond ring onto her finger before making his vow.

"Once I become the Don of Nework, you shall become the Donna."

Pia is grateful to Vito for saving her life while showering her with love and affection. It's only natural that she's willing to sacrifice everything for his sake.

From then, she works even harder in striking more dangerous deals and wrapping up the most brutal negotiations on Vito's behalf. She practically puts herself at risk just to get rid of all obstacles in his way until his strongest foes are dead.

She ignored the tearing pain in her wounds and staggered toward Vito's office, only to find him and a few of his MadeMan laughing and chatting inside.

"With our mortal enemies, the Cuomo Famiglia, now gone, we're finally going to be the largest mafia monopolizing the scene in Nework, Don Castaldo!"

Pia smiled in relief at that. Finally, Vito's biggest concern and thorn in the ass had been eliminated!

"It's all thanks to Pia's shot that saved the Don. Still, it was a pity that Santi got away in the end."

Pia recalled accurately shooting Santi Cuomo in the ear, blowing it right off. However, before she could follow up with another shot, a stray bullet had pierced her body, and she lost consciousness at once after that.

She never thought that it would end with Santi managing to get away after all.

"Back then, during the Famiglia feud between the Castaldos and the Cuomos, they had been so despicable as to abduct your mother and hold her hostage, just to blackmail the Castaldo Famiglia. They then brutally murdered her in the end!

"We still haven't forgotten nor forgiven them for her blood on their hands!"

Pia suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her chest as her nose stung with tears.

She had
