The Don’s Secret Wife

"Elena Rossi, Chief of Staff at the Moretti Group, has kept a secret for one year: she is not only Dante Moretti's most capable subordinate, but also his lawful wife. This marriage, born of a family alliance arranged after her sister Sofia fled the wedding, is a contract without love. Dante is rational, cold, and believes that ""love is cheap."" He provides her with wealth, shares, and protection, but the one thing he cannot give her is the love she desperately craves. Elena has hidden a decade-long crush on Dante, playing the role of the perfect wife. But day after day of courteous distance wears down her spirit. When the ruthless business partner Valentina DeLuca arrives and singles Elena out for humiliation, Dante's unprecedented protectiveness blurs the lines between employer and spouse. Meanwhile, the reappearance of Adrian Cole—Elena's high school admirer, now a doctor—ignites Dante's fierce possessiveness. On a rain-soaked night, Elena finally breaks the silence and asks the question she fears most: ""Do you love me?"" Dante's answer pushes their contract marriage to the brink of collapse. The moment Elena removes her wedding ring, submits her resignation, and walks away without looking back, Dante experiences something he has never felt before—the sharp, unexpected pain of true loss."
