Who shot Tiero???

*it references most detail from 'A New Dawn'.

Mariella:

Mateo De Marco has it all. Power, wealth, and the kind of looks that make women weak in the knees.
He’s tantalizingly close yet impossibly out of reach—until my wedding day takes an unexpected turn, and his gaze finally lands on me. My world flips upside down, and my heart? It never stood a chance.
But just when I dare to dream of a happily-ever-after, betrayal shatters his family, pulling me into a deadly trap.
Now, I face an impossible choice: let the man I love die or sacrifice myself to save him.

Mateo:

I’ve been waiting for my One my entire life, never realizing she was right in front of me. Now that I see her, I’ll stop at nothing to make her mine. Mariella Accardi is my future. My heart. My everything.
But love always comes at a price.
At the height of my happiness, betrayal forces me to choose—Mariella Accardi, the woman I’ve waited a lifetime for or the code that has made me the most powerful man in Italy. One wrong move could destroy it all.
