My Father Replaced His Heir With a Stranger, So I Took Back My Empire

At the Moretti family's annual gathering, my father was preparing to name the next head of the family.

Every capo in the room turned toward me.

I was his only daughter, and for the past seven years, I had served as his underboss. I had negotiated our most dangerous deals, settled disputes between crews, and protected the Moretti name when our enemies tried to tear it apart.

Everyone expected him to choose me.

Instead, my father raised his glass.

"From tonight forward, Wilfred Moretti will be my successor."

The room exploded into whispers.

I stared at him, certain I had heard wrong.
