The Mafia Prince's Broken Promise

Synopsis

Mafia bosses never married commoners. That was a rule written in blood by the Callahan family in Syraland. Victor Callahan, the only son of mafia boss Ernest Callahan, was the sole heir to the family empire. But he was madly in love with me, Everyn Zane. His family punished him for it and forced us apart. Because I was an orphan, with no one to rely on. His father ordered him flogged, forcing him to his knees for three days and three nights. His father ordered him flogged, forcing him to his knees for three days and three nights. Blood soaked through his shirt, yet he still smiled at me. "Don't be afraid, Evelyn," he said. "You're everything I want." He agreed to let Victor take me away from Syraland. But there was one condition. Before we could leave, Victor was forced to father a child with the woman they chose for him. From that day on, the words I heard most from Victor were, "Just wait a little longer." The first time, he told me to wait while he went off to get another woman pregnant. He slept with Gwen Archer, night after night, until she finally conceived. The second time, he begged me to wait because the baby was a girl. Ernest wanted a grandson. So, Victor continued trying for an heir with Gwen until she got pregnant again. When I thought the nightmare was finally over, they found cyanide in the baby's formula. The whole family pinned it all on me.
