He chose me, and now I have no way out of this.

Anastasia

I ran from my old life, wanting to leave the Hawthorne name along with it.

For the first time in my life, I was living in peace.

Only, my peace was short-lived.

I was running out of cash and I couldn't call daddy dearest. If I did, he'd know where I was.

So, a friend hooked me up with an interview at a wife for hire agency. I was given a job and a week later, I was chosen.

The pay would be phenomenal and all of my needs would be met. It seemed like a win-win for me. Show up when I was needed and convince people in his life we were madly in love.

I knew what I signed up for, but what I didn't know was who I was marrying.

I had no idea Lorenzo DiGiovanni was the ruthless leader of the Italian mafia, but apparently, he knew exactly who I was all along.
