The Broken Artist's Spectacular Mafia Comeback

I forged the blueprints that crowned my husband a mafia Capo, saving him when he was nothing.

But after he rose to power, he favored his new female associate, Gia, and handed her my life's work—my coded art book.

When I went to retrieve it, Gia slashed my right hand with a switchblade, severing my tendons. My career as an artist died on that floor.

My husband rushed into the room, looked at my destroyed hand—and stepped past me to shield her.

"Have you lost your mind? She was just following my orders!"

He saw what she had done. He chose to look away.
