A Halloween Prank Killed My Baby, I Left My Mafia Husband Chapter 10
I caught a flight back and rushed to the hospital. But Oliver never got to see me.One of Oliver's men pressed the bloodstained divorce settlement into my hands. His signature was scrawled in a shaky hand in the bottom right corner: Oliver Marino."The Don wanted you to know he was sorry. Sorry for all the pain he caused you. He loved you, and he didn't want to hold you back, so he used the last of his strength to sign."My hand trembled for a moment as I took the settlement. None of it felt real. But every choice has its consequences, and this was the road Oliver had chosen for himself.Oliver left me everything he owned. I donated the house Chloe had lived in to a local charity. I thought of it as the last thing I would ever do for him.Once everything was settled, I flew back to Antarctica.There were no romantic entanglements there. No betrayal. No loss. Just wide-open space and a purity that could wash a person's soul clean.I stayed on, listening for secrets buried beneath the ic

Oliver slumped as if all the strength had drained out of him.I turned and walked away. He stayed where he was in the snow and ice for a long, long time...Oliver insisted on staying to keep me company during my fieldwork. Every time I went out with the team, he followed at a distance, never too close and never too far. He did nothing but watch me, hoping I'd look back.But I never looked back at him. Not once.The emotional shocks and sudden upheavals had taken their toll, and Oliver's health began to fail.He ran a high fever that wouldn't break. He grew paler and paler, and within a few days his tall frame had visibly wasted away.Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.When Oliver came to, I looked at him and said coldly, "You're pathetic like this. I have zero respect for you."I wasn't trying to push him to get back on his feet. I was just sick of him hanging around.Now that the love was gone, I just wanted him out of my life for good, so I could move toward a br

Once I reached Antarctica, I poured everything I had into the expedition.I turned all the hurt and grief that love had brought me into fuel for my work.Everyone on the team respected my skills. Walter even told me the expedition was a big deal, and that once we got home, I could move straight into a lead role on the project, with a research group of my own.It turned out there was so much more to life than love. Money, status, recognition. I'd never needed to lean on a man for any of that.As I looked out at the towering icebergs and the endless sky and sea, I felt myself healing, body and soul.But on the day I collected our key observational data, while the whole team was celebrating, Oliver showed up.Only a little over a month had passed, but Oliver looked like a different man.The confident, larger-than-life man was gone. His lips were cracked, his face was unshaven, and his parka hung loose on him. He looked worn down and frail.Only when he saw me did his eyes light up a littl

Over the years, Chloe had received one large money transfer after another. When Oliver followed the money, he was stunned to find she'd been in close contact with Cedric Rossi, his longtime rival.Luca had betrayed Oliver long ago. He'd been selling the organization's secrets to Cedric for top dollar. Several of Oliver's close calls had been caused by those leaks.Then Luca grew greedier and kept demanding more, so Cedric had him killed to keep him quiet.Oliver hadn't been the target the night Luca died. Cedric's men had been there to kill Luca all along.The moment Oliver learned the truth, he felt his whole world start to cave in.He laughed like a madman, tears sliding down his face. All these years, what had he been doing? Looking after a traitor's wife. Raising a traitor's son as his own, doting on him.And for Chloe and Ron, he'd hurt the wife he loved again and again!Oliver smashed his glass. The flying shards cut him, and blood trickled down his knuckles, but he didn't seem t

Oliver tore the divorce settlement to shreds and threw Daniel out.Oliver was too distraught to stay on his feet. He slid down the doorframe and sank to the floor."Selena, you can't leave..." Oliver murmured. He forced himself to his feet and called in his men, ordering them to do whatever it took to find Selena.Worried his men might miss something, Oliver sat down at the computer and went through the security footage himself, frame by frame, looking for any sign of Selena.At first, he stubbornly believed she was only hiding, tucked away in some corner of the city, quietly watching him fall apart.But days passed, and Oliver still couldn't find a trace of Selena. At last, it sank in. This time, she'd made up her mind. She didn't want him anymore.He spent all day staring at the footage until his eyes burned and his head swam. He still refused to rest, afraid he'd miss some sign of her.Every night he came home to empty rooms, and the longing for Selena hit him like a wave and dragge

By nightfall, Oliver had called Selena several times. Every call went straight to voicemail. The unease in his gut kept growing, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was slipping away.He reached out to their mutual friends, but none of them had heard anything either.Oliver finally realized this time was different. Selena was really angry.He glanced back at Chloe, who was playing with Ron in the living room. Then he steeled himself and walked over. "Chloe, I didn't think it through before you two moved in. I didn't consider Selena's feelings. You need to take Ron and go for now. I'll put you up at the best hotel I can find."Chloe froze and gave him a pitiful look. Ron burst into tears. It hurt Oliver to see them like that, but he looked away and stood by his decision.With no other choice, Chloe picked Ron up and left.Right after that, Oliver texted Selena. "I sent them away, Selena. Hurry home. I'm here waiting for you."Oliver sat motionless all night, staring at the
