Seven Years in a Dream, Awake at Last
4.9k Views · Ongoing · Coralie Sullivan
Three years ago, I saved the life of Alessandro Gambino, New York's most powerful mafia boss.
He fell in love with me, a bartender.
His family was dead set against us, but his love won out. We got married.
After we married, he disappeared every month for "punishment day," claiming his family beat him with sixty-six lashes for breaking their rules by staying with me. Watching him suffer tore me apart.
Actully, I'm Sloane Lucchese, sole heir to the largest arms empire on the East Coast, hiding from a family war. I decided to reclaim my family name as soon as possible, so his family would finally accept me.
Finally, on our fifth wedding anniversary, I found out I was pregnant, and my father called to say they'd announce my return in two weeks.
I was going to tell Alessandro everything that night, both pieces of good news.
But that same day, I stumbled onto a secret—one that would destroy me completely.
