James Omimi

I didn’t expect to see him standing there, by the window, shirt sleeves rolled up, the morning light making his skin glow like it wasn’t meant to belong to someone so dangerous.
Draven Damian.
My sister’s husband. The man I was pretending to love. He turned slowly, his eyes locking onto mine. And just like that, my breath caught.
He didn’t smile. He didn’t speak. He just looked deep and cold, like he saw something in me he hadn’t noticed before.
And maybe that’s when everything changed. Because instead of fear, I felt something else… something warm and terrifying at the same time. He wasn’t supposed to be gentle. He wasn’t supposed to look this human. But at that moment, he did.
Don’t fall, Liora. Don’t be stupid.
I looked away before he could see the truth in my eyes. But I already knew. I was in trouble.
I took my sister’s place to save my family.
Now I’m trapped in a life that could destroy me. I never wanted anything to do with the mafia. But when my twin sister disappeared without a word, I had no choice. I had to become her, the wife of Draven Damian, a dangerous and powerful mafia boss.
His little boy, Dante, looks at me like I’m his mother.
But Draven’s family sees right through me… and they want me gone.
How long can I keep this lie alive?
And what happens when the man I’m pretending to love… starts falling for me
