I Faked My Death and Left the Mafia King

After a decade as a mob boss’s secret lover, he discards me for an innocent bride. I plan to fake my death—until I catch her rifling through his files. Months later, Luca is on death row. I write 326 petitions to save him. Upon release, I find a hidden coin at his grave carved with “Return Home.” Only then do I understand: he always loved me. He just never let himself show it.
