Married the Mafia Boss Who Ruined Me

The day before my wedding, I was insulted by two men.

In my defense, I ended up killing one and injuring the other.

My fiancé at the time, Alexander, who was supposed to protect me, abandoned me during the trial.

I was sentenced to two years in jail.

When I was finally released two years later, I discovered that my ex-fiancé had already married my best friend, Isabella.

And Isabella? She didn’t just ‘steal’ my fiancé—she took the doctor position that was supposed to be mine too.

I had nowhere to go, and in my most desperate moment, Eric Graves appeared at my door.

As the most powerful mafia leader in NYC, Eric used his influence to ensure no one would speak ill of my past.

He also proposed to me, confessing that he'd always had feelings for me and wanted to marry me.

I believed he was my knight in shining armor, my true love.

The first four years of our marriage were perfect—at least, that’s what I thought, until the day I overheard a conversation between my husband, Eric, and his right-hand man, Adam.

“Boss, you were so clever to let those scums harass Evelyn. If it weren't for that, Miss Isabella would never have had a chance with Alexander.”

Eric’s teasing voice followed, “I just wanted to scare her for a bit. Never thought she’d kill one of them and end up behind bars.”

Adam sounded confused. “But Miss Isabella is already married now. Why would you still keep that whore around after she got out of prison?”

“Because,” Eric paused, “I have to make sure she doesn’t run back to Alexander or disturb Isabella.”

The laughter that followed shattered my heart.

All those memories of Eric saving me from humiliation?

They were all a lie.

He was the one who made my life fall apart, just to make sure Isabella could live happily ever after.

Wiping away the lingering tears, I dialed Eric’s biggest rival in NYC, Caleb Nightshade. "Do you still want to wipe Eric out of New York?”

Evelyn’s POV

I had truly believed Eric was my soulmate in years that we married. He had appeared in my life when I was at my lowest to save and love me.

Until I overheard him speaking with his assistant.

“The whole reason I married Evelyn was to keep her under control—so she wouldn’t have the chance to interfere with Isabella’s perfect marriage.”

In that moment, I realized our marriage was never built on love. It was a carefully crafted lie… all for another woman.

The laughter in the room didn’t fade; it only grew louder, more mocking, more suffocating.

Adam’s voice rang out, like praising, “Hadn’t I picked the two perfect scums then, Boss? Even Evelyn killed one of them, the other still kept his mouth shut”

Eric scoffed, the sound low. “Anyway I was planning to send Evelyn onto one of my regular shipment trip. The police are onto us. Since she’s been
