Loved A Machine: The Mafia Queen's Awakening

Five days before my wedding to the most feared Mafia Don in New York, I breached his private server.

I didn't find cartel intel. Instead, I found a custom AI bot programmed to auto-reply to my text messages.

Beside it rested unencrypted chat logs with his childhood ward, Serena. The messages were a saccharine scroll of warmth and devotion I had never known.

For five years, I had poured my heart out to a machine.

While he used a script to tell me to stop causing drama, he was busy sending extra guards for Serena because she was scared of the rain.
