Chapter 6

Author: Matcha 66
After I safely left Macallum, I took out my SIM card and completely severed contact with Vince.

In the days that followed, I wandered with a tour group—watched rivers run, gazed at the moon, felt sunlight warm my skin and the wind graze my cheeks. Slowly, Vince faded from my mind.

Then, the tour guide tried to force me to buy something. I refused.

He wouldn't let me back on the boat.

Two gunshots cracked through the air.

Vince had arrived. I didn't even know when. No one here had seen anything like this, and murmurs rippled through the crowd, wondering who I really was.

"She's the one I keep safe in my hands, and you pull this shit?" Vince swept the crowd with a gaze sharp as the gun he held. The area was remote—no security to intervene.

He turned to me, eyes soft. "Isabella, come home. Out here, you’ve got stray dogs and gutter trash thinking they can take a bite out of you. But next to me? Not a soul alive would dare."

I almost laughed. He was right—no one dared hurt me. Exce

  • A Mafia Wife’s Wrath   Chapter 7

    After Vince left last time, the travel agency I'd signed up with refunded every penny of my trip.All they asked was that I convince him not to cause them any trouble.I took the money and rented a small house in a nearby fishing village.I canceled my phone plan and erased all traces of myself. Vince wouldn't be able to find me again.But even in that quiet coastal town, news of the mafia boss from Macallum still floated through the streets.They said he'd gone mad after losing his wife, that he was offering a hefty reward for any information.If whispers of that reached even this remote place, I could only imagine the scale of his search. I knew him—Vince was a man of extremes, terrifying in his obsession. And I didn't dare guess what a man like that might do when driven to madness.A few days passed. Then another rumor drifted into town. They said Macallum's mafia boss had lost his mind from the grief. His men only hoped to help him fulfill his final wish before death.I kne

  • A Mafia Wife’s Wrath   Chapter 5

    "What!?"The word slammed into Vince's chest like a sheet of cold iron. His mind froze. Isabella… why would she go that far? The tightrope he'd been walking all afternoon finally snapped.His eyes went bloodshot. He started calling her—again and again—desperately, like a man possessed. But there was no answer. The line was dead. Eventually, even the number ceased to exist.Then another one of his men burst in, pale-faced, panic bleeding from his voice. "Boss, we found a hospital record... a miscarriage. It's Mrs. Moretti's."What the hell was happening? Vince's head felt like it might split open.Isabella… she was really gone? Just like that?Then, as if to hammer the point home, her messages came through—several at once.One was a voice recording of a conversation with Sophia.Another was a recording of a call from Sophia.The last… was a screen recording of the wedding livestream.When Vince tried to reply, his message bounced. Isabella had blocked him.He opened the fir

  • A Mafia Wife’s Wrath   Chapter 4

    Even though I was already on the ship, well past the waters marking the edge of Macallum's borders, I knew it wouldn't be easy. Vince had power here. And in Sipore, he had even more.To leave under his nose, I had to make sure he was looking the other way.I steadied myself and sent him a message.[Lately, I've been feeling tight in the chest, short of breath. Elena and I are just walking around the border town a bit. I'll be back tonight. I'm craving corn and pork rib soup. The kind you make. I want you to cook for me.]They were lies, of course. Just distractions.…Vince had been on edge for days. After I sent that one message—Was it really a negotiation?—his nerves started to fray. Guilt painted his face green, and he called over and over again. I never picked up.When my next message came—about the soup—he finally breathed.The wedding was halfway through when he looked around the dimly lit underground room. It was well hidden. How could I possibly have found out? He told

  • A Mafia Wife’s Wrath   Chapter 3

    After the party ended, Vince made an excuse and left early. I figured he was going back to keep Sophia company—still hidden away in that room.Bang! Bang—Two gunshots suddenly rang out from the top of the hill.I blinked slowly, only to see a group of men from another territory walking straight toward me.One of them pulled a gun, aimed it right at my forehead.And just as I thought my time had come, Vince stepped in front of me.Seeing him rush forward, the gunmen fired several more shots.He threw his arms around me and tumbled with me down the slope, never once letting go.A bullet had struck him in the left side of his chest. Sharp stones tore at his skin, and blood soaked his clothes.Still, he held me close and whispered, "Don't be scared."The intruders were quickly subdued. Turns out they were scouts from a rival faction, never expecting to run into me face-to-face.Years ago, Vince had killed the wife of a border gang boss—she was pregnant at that time. That man ha

  • A Mafia Wife’s Wrath   Chapter 2

    I asked the doctor to keep the miscarriage a secret.Elena Rossi, the doctor, was someone I'd rescued from the border. She only answered to me.After that, I booked a ticket for a cruise trip to Sipore.I touched my now-empty belly. The ache in my heart was unbearable.It had taken ten years with Vince to finally have this child. I'd imagined, countless times, what our life as a family of three would be like.I had already laid down my pride and forgiven him. All I asked was that he never betray me again.Was that really too much?On the way home, I received a message from him."I planned a celebration for you today. I'll come pick you up in a bit."I passed through the front hall on my way back. From a distance, I saw the warm glow of the lights. As I got closer, I could hear a familiar, syrupy voice."I'm so jealous of Isabella… Vince, you even throw parties for her. When will I get something like that too?"Through the narrow crack in the door, I saw Vince's face shift, h
