About

In the shadows of loyalty and betrayal, Serafina DeLuca finds herself caught in a web of family ties that bind tighter than any vow. Once a bride left at the altar, she marries Dante Moretti, brother to the man she thought she loved. For five years, she builds a life with him, but the cruel hand of fate snatches Dante away, leaving her shattered and alone. Just when she begins to reclaim her life, a devastating truth surfaces—Dante is alive, masquerading as his dead brother while entwined in a dark dance with her sister, Elena.

As Serafina grapples with the ghost of her past and the betrayal that thrums in her veins, she is faced with an impossible choice: flee from the very family that has turned her life into a painful masquerade or confront the haunting love that still flickers in Dante's eyes. With her heart fractured and a child to consider, every decision carries the weight of her shattered dreams. Can she break free from the chains of loyalty and love, or will she remain a pawn in a dangerous game? In a world where nothing is as it seems, Serafina must navigate the treacherous waters of love, loss, and identity.

I Married His Brother, But He Still Chose My SisterChapter 1

I tried everything to make my husband, Damiano Moretti, love me. But in the end, he loved my sister, Elena.

On our wedding day, he never showed. I stood there alone in the cathedral, humiliated, while the Moretti Family and even my own blood, the DeLuca crew, watched and whispered behind their hands. Of course they did. Everyone knew Damiano loved Elena. No one believed he'd actually go through with marrying me.

But what shattered me, what tore my soul apart, was that he married her instead. He didn't just choose her. He took her hand in front of the priest and said the words that were supposed to be mine. I felt the vow I'd been promised snap like glass, cutting through everything I thought I was.

Everyone adored Elena. My husband included. I was always second place, even to my own family. I was the eldest, sure, but I was the quiet one, the one without connections or leverage, and to them that made me less. My parents never missed a chance to remind me. Meanwhile, Elena? She had it all: their love, their praise, the respect of both families, invitations to every sit-down dinner that mattered, and my husband.
