Hidden Heiress: Betrayed By Ex, Married To The Mafia King

At thirteen, Soraya Dalias lost the only family she had ever known. With no one willing to take responsibility for her, she was passed from one relative to another until they eventually abandoned her at an orphanage.

Growing up without a family taught Soraya not to expect much from life. She didn't dream of wealth, power, or a luxurious future. All she ever wanted was a kind man who would love her sincerely and stay by her side for the rest of her life.

She thought she had found that man in Emilio, her childhood friend and the person she had loved for years.

So when their wedding day finally arrived, Soraya stood at the altar with her heart full of hope, waiting for him to walk through the church doors and become her husband.

But Emilio never came.

Instead, Soraya discovered the devastating truth. Her beloved fiancé was with another woman, and their conversation revealed that he had never truly loved her. He had only stayed by her side because of her money and intended to throw her away once he got what he wanted.

Heartbroken and desperate to escape the humiliation, Soraya did something she had never done before. She drank until she could no longer think clearly.

That night, in her drunken state, she encountered a mysterious stranger and made a reckless request. She asked him to spend the night with her, never imagining that the man standing before her was someone she should have feared more than anyone else.

Santino Selvaggio is the sole heir to the powerful Selvaggio Mafia Family, a man whose name alone is enough to make others tremble. Violence, power, and bloodshed have always been part of his world, while love has never had a place in it. Women have come and gone from his life without ever leaving an impression.

Until he encountered Soraya.

She had kissed him, confessed her heartbreak, asked him to marry her, and then disappeared from his memory only to wake up terrified of the man she had unknowingly chosen.

But Santino has no intention of letting her walk away.

Instead of allowing Soraya to forget their encounter, he makes an unexpected decision: he wants her to become his wife.

Soraya refuses to believe that the dangerous mafia heir could genuinely want her, especially when she wants nothing to do with violence or the ruthless world he belongs to. Yet Santino is determined to have her, and he isn't accustomed to hearing the word no.

What Soraya doesn't know is that she's not the ordinary orphan she has always believed herself to be.

She is the hidden heiress of one of the most powerful families in the world, and the truth about her identity is about to change everything.

The woman who thought she had lost everything may soon discover that she was born to inherit it all and the man who brought her into this is none other than Santino to whom her marriage is fixed now.

“Your mouth says one thing, while your body says something entirely different,” Santino whispered in a low, deep voice.

His arms wrapped around Soraya from behind, drawing her gently against him. The closeness made her tense for a moment, but Santino seemed far too amused by her reaction.

“How long are you planning to tease me like this?” he murmured near her ear. “How long are you going to keep pretending you don't know exactly what you're doing to me?”

He brushed his lips against her earlobe, making her shiver before moving lower and pressing a lingering kiss against the side of her neck.

“You're turning me on with those little moans, Raya,” he whispered, his voice growing huskier.

Soraya's breath caught as he gently tilted her head toward him. Their eyes met for a brief moment before Santino leaned in and kissed her, leaving her momentarily overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.
