At the Met Gala, I heard my husband tell his friends in French that I'm "boring." That his 22-year-old girlfriend is "so much more exciting in bed."

I taught him not to buy fake Rolexes, warned him about fake Tom Ford suits, and even encouraged him to get an MBA to change his life. Poor guy was obviously broke but still "leased" a Tesla to look rich.

I let him stay. But on one condition—he works for me, wears my "Moonbean...

I died once.

In that moment when the out-of-control truck slammed into me, as I felt the poisoned blood flowing through my veins in that hospital bed, I saw everyone's true face—my beloved husband Marco, Lucia whom I'd treated like a sister, and that so-called sacred, untouchable Italian family.

But God gave me a second chance.

When I stood again in Saint Anthony's Church, watching that familia...

I thought if I was good e...

"TONIGHT."
