Fall for Mafia Boss Who Killed My Fiancé

On Helena Campbell's wedding day to Hans Vancamp, Cesare Brtoli, the youngest Mafia don out of Barcelona, arrives at the church and shoots Hans. Cesare's rule is simple: anyone who touches what is his dies. He offers a deal: “Marry me and I'll let them live.” Helena refuses, then agrees to marry him to spare her parents. Her father William is shot in the leg anyway. The wedding becomes a forced marriage.

Afterward, Cesare declares Helena his wife. She refuses to play the happy bride. He threatens to lock her away in the dark and claims every inch of her belongs to him. He keeps her on the fourth floor, off-limits to everyone without his direct order. A servant who causes her pain is made an example; if Helena bleeds, the whole house bleeds. Then he finds someone else to keep him company.

One year later, Roxie Vance, a theater singer who calls herself Cesare's mistress, arrives at his estate. She learns the fourth floor is restricted. She sees a woman there who looks exactly like her. That woman is Helena. Roxie calls her a cheap knockoff, demands the ruby ring, and refuses to believe Helena is Cesare's wife. Roxie tries to ruin Helena's face first, then orders a crucifix through her palm, brings beggars to assault her, and only then discovers Helena is pregnant. After that, she has Helena dragged behind a car in the back garden and whips her. Loretta Scalise, the manor's maid, insists Cesare never goes to the fourth floor, so the child cannot be his. Roxie plans to kill both mother and baby.

Cesare has found Helena's family sigil ring and tries to make her look at him. A telegram about foreign mercenaries moving toward Winterhold slows his return to the estate. Meanwhile, at the estate, Roxie leaves Helena for dead and has her wrapped in rags and thrown out. Cesare comes back to news that a woman claiming to be his wife was killed. He does not know that woman was Helena. His rule: anyone who touches the fourth floor dies. He goes to see the body. The wind lifts the white cloth and reveals Helena's side profile. Cesare finds her face strangely familiar. Helena endures seven years of his cruel obsession, fakes her death, and flees pregnant. When Cesare hunts her down, the bloody truth shatters everything she believed.
