Chapter 15 - The Queen of the Russo Family
The entire dining hall gasped in unison as Damian opened the velvet box, revealing a flawless, emerald-cut diamond ring that caught the golden light of the chandeliers.
Hannah’s breath hitched in her throat, her hands flying to her mouth as tears of pure happiness welled in her dark eyes.
Damian dropped to one knee right beside her chair—the powerful, feared Don bowing before the girl who had once scrubbed his floors.
"Hannah," Damian spoke softly, his voice full of a deep, tender love that made the tough mobsters in the room hold their breath. "You brought light into my dark world when I was surrounded by lies and treachery. You proved that true strength isn't found in guns or power, but in a brave, loyal heart."
He took her right hand into his, his eyes shining with complete devotion.
"You saved my life, Hannah," Damian whispered. "Now, I want to spend the rest of mine giving you everything you deserve. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife, my partner, and the Queen of the Russo family?"
Hannah wiped a joy-filled tear from her cheek, a radiant, breathtaking smile breaking across her face.
"Yes, Damian! Yes, a thousand times yes!" she cried softly.
Damian slid the diamond ring onto her finger, standing up to draw her into a passionate, tender embrace. The entire dining hall erupted into thunderous, standing applause, with even the toughest capos cheering for the maid who became their Queen.
Carlo raised his glass high from the front row. "To Don Damian and Queen Hannah! Long live the Russo family!"
"Long live the Russo family!" the crowd roared in celebration.

Damian kissed Hannah gently under the warm chandelier light, holding her tight against his chest—knowing that no matter what storms came in the future, their love was built on an unbreakable foundation of truth, courage, and eternal loyalty.
Do you think Damian was right to test his entire syndicate by pretending to be paralyzed, or was Hannah’s brave reaction the only thing that truly redeemed his dark world? What would you have done if you were in Hannah's shoes?
