He Chose His Mistress, I Chose the Don

At an engagement dinner, Liam announces he has claimed another woman, upending his long-standing bond with a childhood sweetheart who once broke bones in her hand to save him. That oath, sworn in blood, proves worthless when he steals her work, hides his affair, and leaves her in hostile territory. Rather than crumble, she severs the oath and builds her own path. When Liam later comes begging, he learns she has pledged herself to a Don beyond his reach - a choice that turns the tables. Their family dinner becomes the stage where either his mistress or his dynasty will fall, and she must decide how to wield her new position.
