The Wife He Buried Alive

Elena Rosetti has everything a woman could envy: a wedding that drew every great family in Europe, a mafia-heir husband who calls her his weakness, and a life of Milanese luxury. What no one knows is that she found the hidden phone in Dario Ferretti's study a month ago, and the woman filling its screen is Bianca, the assistant Elena herself hired. To Dario, his devoted wife is only a "wooden bride." So on the night of her own birthday, Elena stops performing. She has three days, a new name, and Swiss accounts, and she means to disappear so completely that even a man who swears he would search the ends of the earth will never find her. She lets him run to his mistress. She lets him believe a faked illness and a faked pregnancy. And on the very morning he marries Bianca in a chapel on the edge of the city, a news broadcast interrupts the vows: Elena Rosetti has thrown herself from the Ponte del Mare. The ring drops from his hand and rolls across the marble, and the man the world called untouchable comes apart. But Elena did not die. From Zurich to Rome to Sicily, under new faces and new names, she takes his empire apart piece by piece: his transport lines, his corporation, his father's loyalty, and finally the buried truth that the Ferrettis destroyed her family five years ago and Dario married her to bury the only witness. When he is stripped of everything and crawls back begging to be her driver, her bodyguard, anything, she slaps him and tells him he is not worthy. Then a Rolls-Royce pulls up, and the man stepping out calls her his fiancee. Some say Dario walked into the sea in the end. At Elena's wedding in Rome, an empty balcony plays Fur Elise, the song that was once only theirs.
