Wife Tries to Murder You.

Mira was not born. She was forged. The only daughter of the Valerio crime family, she grew up in a world of marble floors and bloodstained carpets. Her father, Don Valerio, raised her like a blade, sharp, silent, and deadly. Her mother was a ghost who died when Mira was twelve. Mira loved her. Mira also watched her die and did nothing.

The third week, she prepared poison for his coffee. He woke up early, made her breakfast first, and handed her a cup with a sleepy smile. She drank it herself just to prove it was safe. He laughed.
