Father-In-Law turned Husband
About
It was supposed to be my wedding day. Instead, my fiancé was in Hawaii—with his “girl best friend,” Olivia. The same Olivia he was getting far too close to. And this wasn’t the first time. He’d stood me up thirteen times for her. Today was supposed to be different. Today, we were meant to sign the paperwork and finally become husband and wife. He never showed. So I picked up my phone, swallowed the heartbreak, and called the one man I knew could make him regret it. His father. Alexander Moretti. The city’s most feared mafia boss. And now… I had his attention.

Intro
The apartment was silent.
It was supposed to be our wedding day.
Just me and Jay.
No guests. No family. No big ceremony. Just the two of us signing the paperwork, exchanging rings, and finally becoming husband and wife.
I had spent the morning getting ready, staring at myself in the mirror while my white dress fell perfectly around me.
Jay had promised he would be there.
He wasn’t.
I sat alone at the small table, the paperwork neatly arranged in front of me. His ring sat beside mine, untouched.
I checked my phone again.
Nothing.
Then I opened his social media.
My heart sank.
There he was.
Jay.
On a beach in Hawaii.
With Olivia.
His arm was wrapped around her waist, both of them smiling like they didn't have a care in the world.
His so-called girl best friend.
The same woman he had chosen over me thirteen times.
My thumb hovered over his name.
I could call him.
Beg him to come home.
Cry.
Ask why I wasn't enough.
But I was tired of asking.
Instead, I locked my phone and stared at the wedding ring.
Then an entirely different name came to mind.
Alexander Moretti.
Jay's father.
The man Jay was always careful around.
The man everyone in the city seemed to fear.
I found his number.
My hand trembled as I pressed Call.
One ring.
Two.
Then—
That deep, controlled voice came through the phone. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
A pause.
