Her storybook romance went up in smoke.

The wife of millionaire smoke-shop kingpin Peter Petrakis got a Long Island judge to throw out a one-sided prenup agreement she claims her husband coerced her into signing four days before their lavish wedding in June 1998.

“The prenup was a knife in my heart from day one,” Elizabeth Cioffi-Petrakis, 37, said yesterday. “The prenup broke apart this family. He still doesn’t realize that all I wanted was an apology and for him to admit it was wrong.”

Cioffi-Petrakis — now locked in a bitter divorce battle with her estranged hubby — testified that he threatened to cancel the wedding if she didn’t sign the agreement, even though her dad already shelled out $40,000 for their reception.

Petrakis, she said, promised to “tear up” the prenup after the couple had children and vowed to put their Old Brookville home under both their names.

But, she said, he reneged, even after having twin sons and a daughter.

Nassau Justice Anthony Falanga — calling the relationship a “storybook romance, sans happy ending” — ruled last month in her favor.

A lawyer for Petrakis — who owns a string of tobacco shops and is worth at least $5 million, according to court papers — said he believes the decision will be “overturned on appeal.”
