My Fiancé Sent Me to Marry an Old Don in Her Place—Then Went Mad with Regret

"After eight years with Lucien Soranzo, the boy I’d grown up with, I was finally going to marry him.

The night before the wedding, I overheard him giving orders to one of his men. “After you pick up Ines tomorrow, skip the church. Drive straight to the Scalabrini estate.”

“The Scalabrini family?”

Lucien lowered his voice. “Odette’s father’s shipping business collapsed. He owes the Scalabrini family $60 million.”

“He signed a debt settlement promising his daughter to their Don. I can’t let Odette spend her life with that ninety-year-old man. Ines will have to take her place.”
