My Don Craves My Slaps

Avery, who lives with bipolar disorder, wakes up with no memory of her seven-year marriage. She discovers she is married to Lorenzo, the poor student she once paid to take a slap for her—now a Don of the New York Mafia. While pushing for a divorce, she investigates the truth behind her father’s death and her own amnesia. Fragments return: her father died by self-immolation, Lorenzo begged her on the rooftop to keep living, and their marriage, marked by mutual hurt yet quiet reliance on each other. Faced with Sofia’s schemes to tear them apart and her terror over the hereditary illness, she finally commits to her treatment and stops pretending she does not love him.
