My Fiancé Shot Her Roses, the Mafia Don Shot Mine Plot…

A single gunshot cracks across the Nevada ranch — and it doesn't hit Elena's white roses. It tears through her best friend Sophia's red ones instead.

That's the moment Elena's eight-year engagement to Enzo DeLuca dies in front of a crowd — and the moment a stranger rumored to have buried three wives steps up to claim her.

A Ritual Where Bullets Choose Wives

In Elena's mafia family, love doesn't decide marriages — aim does.

She explains the old custom plainly: "In our mafia family, a woman had to win Russian roulette seven years in a row before she could marry for six years."

Then comes the flower shooting, where men fire at the bouquets of the women they want to protect. The first eligible man to hit a woman's flowers is bound to her by blood oath.

Elena never wanted any of it. She only wanted to quietly register a legal marriage with her fiancé, Enzo. But Enzo loved the ritual and entered her name without asking. By the time she found out, she couldn't withdraw — and she had no idea Sophia had entered too.

Before her final game, Elena heard Enzo behind the gun room door, planning with Sophia to swap a blank for a real bullet and force her to quit. "This year's wedding is ours," he said.

Then the bouquets flew, and everything went wrong on purpose.

Everyone She Trusted Picked Sophia

Elena had prepared for chaos. She warned her brother Marco Marino and her childhood friend Liam Tomorse: "If Enzo doesn't hit my white roses first, you too must shoot before anyone else does."

Both promised without hesitation.

When the white roses went up, both men ran to shield Sophia's red ones.

Elena's flowers were shot by Alex Moretti — the stranger with three dead wives. Panic burned through her, and she ran to the Don to reverse the match. Instead, she rounded a corner and heard Enzo's voice: "Worst case, Elena rejects Alex's oath and gets cut off. She's just a woman with no rank."

At dinner, it only got worse. Her father, Victor, slammed his glass down: reject the oath and she's out — no family, no protection. Her mother, Isabella Ferraro, stayed silent. Enzo sat beside Sophia and casually dropped celery onto Elena's plate, forgetting her allergy entirely.

Then came the line that sealed it. Sophia smiled and said, "Elena's dress was altered to fit you. She will not need it."

The custom ceremony dress Enzo had measured Elena for himself had been given away.

A Burned Hand and a Text From a Stranger

That night, Elena walked into the yard where Enzo and Sophia were lighting fireworks. Sophia fell dramatically. Enzo shoved Elena aside — and her palms landed in the hot fireworks.

Marco and Liam rushed to Sophia. Nobody looked at Elena's burned hands. Enzo demanded she apologize. She refused, and threw it back at him: "Ask her, did I even touch her?"

But in the middle of all that betrayal, her phone buzzed. An unknown number: "Choose what you like for tomorrow. I'll have everything ready."

Was it Alex Moretti — the cursed man with three buried wives — quietly offering her the one thing her family never did: a choice?

Elena has to decide whether to swear a blood oath with a man everyone fears, or lose her family forever. Would you take the blood oath or run? Tell us in the comments.
