Left at the Altar, I Married the Mob Boss

Selena Vance, heiress of the West Coast shipping dynasty, spent ten years in obscurity standing by Julian Grant through his bankruptcy and comeback. On their wedding day, Julian left, claiming Chloe, an investor's daughter, needed him, to legally marry her at city hall. Selena warned him she would replace the groom. Julian laughed.

The night before, a VIP key card led Selena to the suite where Julian had proposed. She found him in bed with another woman. He said the wedding would be Selena's and the marriage certificate would be the other woman's. Selena took off her engagement ring and walked out.

On the wedding day, Selena put on the dress and appeared at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Julian did not pick up his own bride, bragged about the previous night, then left for city hall to meet Chloe. He said he would swing by city hall first, ten minutes tops. Selena called Damian Cross, the mafia don who had secretly loved her for ten years, and offered him the groom spot.

Holly, Selena's friend and bridesmaid, was furious at what Julian had reduced her to. Selena had poured everything into his proposals, brought in investors, used her family's shipping connections, ran across twelve cities alone, and kept going even after landing in the hospital. Julian repaid her by hooking up with an investor's daughter. Selena planned to go back to her parents after the wedding and admit she lost.

On the terrace, Selena overheard Julian's friends joking about her, then Julian himself on the phone, describing her as easy to handle. She walked down the aisle. Damian Cross stood where the groom should be. Selena said, "This is the groom I chose."

Ethan, the best man, sent Julian a message and a video. Julian saw Damian standing at the altar and recognized him. Julian said it was impossible, that Selena loved him. When Julian discovered Selena's true status, he lost everything and broke down in despair.
