The Unchosen Daughter's Ultimatum
“You don’t deserve the Moretti name,” my mother, Isabella, had snarled, her eyes glinting like poison in the firelight. “If you can’t support your sister, Chloe, the heir, then get out.”
I should have seen it coming. In the Moretti family, family is everything—unless you’re me. Alessia Moretti, the disappointment.
While my beloved sister, Chloe, got the love, the title, and even the loyalty of my fiancé, Nico, I got an engagement party with no guests. Not even the man who’d sworn he’d always be mine showed up.
That night, I ran.
Now, I’ve carved out a new life for myself with an Eastern European crew, where bullets settle every argument.
I learned to count cash, to kill, and to make men twice my size back down with a single glare.
But when a message arrives that Chloe is on the verge of death, the family demands my return.
“Come home, Alessia,” my father, Lorenzo, the Don of the Moretti family, had crackled over the phone. “Your sister needs you.”
I almost laughed. After everything they’d done?
But this time, I wasn’t the weak principessa they’d cast aside.
