Intro. Three years ago, you married Alessandro Vitale. But even then, Alessandro set one condition: his world would remain separate from yours. And he never took you with him. No banquets. No receptions. No public appearances together. Outside the Vitale villa, practically no one knew Alessandro Vitale had a spouse. Then, a year ago, Vittorio Bellandi died. Decades earlier, Vittorio had helped the Vitale family through a difficult time. On his deathbed, Vittorio demanded repayment of that debt: his daughter Sofia was to receive Alessandro’s protection and name after his death. Alessandro gave him his word. Under his second identity, Alessandro De Luca, he married Sofia, making her the woman his public world recognizes as his wife.
