At 4:00 a.m., my husband, Rocco, gently shook me awake. His voice was a low murmur, . "Alessia, my love, could you do something for me?" But his next words shattered the illusion. "Scarlett is hungry. Go make her some seafood soup." Scarlett was our maid, and she was also Rocco's pregnant goomar. "I just had fresh seafood delivered. Get to the kitchen and make her a bowl of soup. Just for Falcone's heir." I refused, my voice cold. His anger flared in an instant. "Don't be so unreasonable, Alessia." "Is it really so hard for you to make some soup?" I shook my head, silent. He stroked my cheek, a patronizing smile playing on his lips. "Fine, Alessia. So you've learned to defy me now." "Think carefully, Alessia. Do you really want to keep your place as a Falcone?" "And your position as the family's lawyer? Think about whether you still want these… then give me your answer." Seeing the arrogance in Rocco's eyes, the last ember of love I had for this man died. I took out my phone and dialed a number I hadn't called in a long time. "I want out of the Falcone family."

The murder of Uncle Vincent.This secret detonated in the hall, sending fresh shockwaves through the crowd.Rocco collapsed onto the marble floor, a look of utter despair on his face."How did you know about Uncle Vincent?"Don Carlo's face went pale, his body swaying."Vincent... my own brother... how could this be..."Vincenzo sneered. "I've already made sure the other Dons received that information. Anonymously.""Did you really think the crime of betraying your own blood could stay buried forever?""The transfer records in your safe, the phone recordings with the hitman... it's all there."Hearing this, Rocco suddenly went mad, lunging at the dying Scarlett, his hands closing around her throat."It's all because of you, you bitch! If you hadn't threatened me, how could I have been exposed!""I'm going to kill you!"Scarlett's face turned purple, but she managed to grope for a cigar cutter that had fallen on the table.With her last ounce of strength, she plunged it into Rocco's wr

"I won't apologize!"Scarlett stood on the stage, tears streaming down her face as she bit her lip, refusing to speak."Rocco, if you do this, how can I ever show my face before the Five Families again?"But to save his own candidacy, Rocco ignored her pleas.To be defied so openly, in front of the Dons of the Five Families, was a fatal blow to his authority."What did you say?" he said, stalking toward her. "I'm talking to you!"Rocco grabbed Scarlett roughly and dragged her to the front of the stage, trying to force a confession out of her."I won't!" Scarlett shrieked. "I didn't do anything wrong!"Before the words had even left her mouth, a loud slap echoed through the hall.Smack!Scarlett staggered and fell, her cheek instantly swelling.She scrambled to protect her stomach, using the child inside as her final trump card."Rocco Falcone! You dare to hit me at a Commission meeting! This is your blood in my belly, the future Falcone heir!"The onlookers from every family were capti

Once inside the Commission hall, Rocco began his speech."Gentlemen, Dons. I am here today seeking a seat on the Commission, a nomination earned by the victories I have secured for the Falcone family.""I believe a true leader must have both cunning and courage, qualities I proved when I secured the New York port control rights for our family."Seated before the stage were the Dons of the Five Families, including Rocco's father, the current Don of the Falcone family, Don Carlo.The old man looked at his son with immense pride, clearly pleased with Rocco's candidacy.I began to clap slowly from the audience. "Well said!""To think that Mr. Falcone's great achievements were built on plagiarism. Truly impressive."All the Dons in the room turned their eyes to me. Rocco shot me a glare, a silent warning to be quiet.The clerk taking minutes, sensing a story unfolding, immediately asked, "You must be the new legal counsel for the Moretti family. What did you mean by that?"Seeing me, his so

Three hours later, the plane landed at a private airfield in Chicago.Through the crowd, I saw Vincenzo waiting. He was holding a bouquet of white roses.Five years had passed, but he was still the same handsome, stoic heir to the Moretti family."Welcome to Chicago, Alessia.""I've finally brought you home, Princess. You have no idea how long I've waited for this day."I took the roses. The wind blew my hair back, revealing the bruise on my forehead.Vincenzo's fists clenched instantly, the veins bulging. "He dared to hit you?"He gently touched the wound, his expression gentle, but his eyes were fierce and cold."Come on. My private doctor is waiting at the estate. Let's get that looked at."Everyone knew the Moretti family heir had mysteriously disappeared on the day of my wedding, but no one knew he had been living in seclusion in Chicago for five years, waiting for my return.When he reemerged, the Moretti family was on the rise again, lacking only one thing: a chief legal counsel
