The Glamorous Fiancée Slapped Her Paralyzed Mafia Boss Groom — Until The Nurse Caught Her Wrist And Exposed The Pills

The grand mansion foyer was bathed in the warm glow of crystal chandeliers, reflecting off polished marble floors. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the Chicago city skyline glittered against the dark night sky. But inside, the air was suffocating with cruelty.

Nico Alfieri—a thirty-four-year-old mafia boss with dark wavy hair and rough stubble—sat braced on the cold marble floor beside his overturned black wheelchair. Dressed in a dark suit with an unbuttoned white dress shirt, his breathing was heavy, his legs useless beneath him.

Standing over him was Camille Ashcroft, his late-twenties blonde fiancée. Draped in an elegant champagne-gold strapless silk gown, her face was contorted with disgust and fury. Fresh off their lavish engagement party, she looked down at the man who had built an empire, now reduced to crawling at her feet.

"You embarrassed me in front of the entire board!" Camille spat, raising her hand high to strike Nico across the face.

Before her hand could land, a slender hand shot out from the shadows.

Adeline Marsh—a late-twenties quiet private nurse with brunette hair styled in a low bun, wearing simple blue medical scrubs—stepped in with lightning speed. Adeline caught Camille's wrist mid-air with an iron grip.

In the sudden collision, Adeline's arm accidentally knocked over a silver medical tray nearby. The tray crashed onto the marble floor, sending pill bottles and dozens of white tablets scattering across the smooth stone.
