A Sicilian Vendetta: After My Men Left Me Ruined Chapter 7
In Sicily's most ancient family council chamber, the meeting of the major families proceeded as scheduled.The hall was filled with family bosses and advisers, candlelight flickering, everyone waiting for the final act of this underworld drama.I sat on the main platform, my right hand steadily flipping through evidence, the stiffness of my right arm less noticeable in the candlelight.People whispered below, speculating about my identity."Esteemed family elders, I am honored to announce today that the Ghost Godmother officially takes over all DiMarco family territories," my voice carried throughout the stone hall. "I also wish to reveal some truths to you all."A huge display board began showing a series of accounts and letters."DiMarco family boss Marina has, over the past three years, through secret agreements and betrayal, sold local family intelligence worth twenty million dollars to outside forces." I presented the evidence point by point. "This includes the traditional famil

A mysterious force known as the "Ghost Godmother" descended like a fierce tiger, voraciously consuming territory across Sicily and advancing on the DiMarco family's doorstep.The Ghost Godmother's methods were extremely ruthless, striking precisely when Marina was most vulnerable.First came the assassination of Marina's three key dock managers, followed by extensive bribery to win hearts when her losses were heaviest. In just one week, the Ghost Godmother had seized 80% of Marina's smuggling routes, becoming Sicily's the largest power.Marina was forced to seek more support from outside forces. At a life-or-death family meeting, she played her last card—the locations of the traditional family alliance's arms stockpiles."Once we get these arsenals, the annual profit will be at least $10 million!" Marina, red-eyed, pitched to the outside power boss. "Our intelligence is at least three years ahead of other families!"The representative of the outside forces merely smiled faintly: "Boss

In the deep night at the clinic, the red-hot forceps made a hissing sound. I bit down hard on a leather belt, sweat soaking through my shirt."Miss Isabella, just a little longer." Dr. Torrino adjusted the angle of the forceps, a flash of reluctance in his eyes.My right arm shook violently under the burning stimulation as muscles reactivated.This hellish torture had continued for a month, but the results were significant. I could feel strength returning to my right arm, even exceeding what it had been before."That's enough," I weakly waved my hand, and the Doctor immediately set down his instruments."Miss Isabella, I have some news." He handed me a glass of strong liquor. "The DiMarco family's 'East Port smuggling line' has run into trouble."I took the glass, with my right hand now steadily holding it. "Tell me.""Someone leaked their transport routes and weapons manifest to the traditional family alliance. Three cooperating families simultaneously cut ties. Marina lost twelve doc

Upon receiving the news, Lorenzo's mind went blank.The messenger's words nearly made him lose his balance. Instinctively, he looked to Marina beside him."What's wrong?" Marina noticed his distress and pulled him into an embrace."Isabella... she escaped," Lorenzo's voice trembled.Marina was stunned momentarily before breaking into a contemptuous laugh. "A drug-addicted woman—what damage can she do? It's better she's gone, so she's no longer an eyesore."The family members around joined in, with someone joking, "Boss Marina is finally free." Another raised a glass: "To Marina, finally rid of that ugly curse!"Lorenzo forced a smile, playing along with their jokes, but inside he felt an indescribable panic.After five years of living with her day and night, he understood Isabella's character too well. This was not the desperate flight of a defeated person.Marina seemed to notice his concern and announced publicly: "Everyone rest assured, I've blocked all of Isabella's known smuggling

He placed a set of silver cutlery and a string of family prayer beads on the bedside table.His demeanor had softened considerably, his tone carrying a hint of regret."Why must you be so stubborn and suffer like this?"As he spoke, he picked up the prayer beads, intending to put them on me."If you just behave yourself, I'll take good care of you in the future."I jerked my hand away, my stomach churning, feeling instinctive revulsion at the sight of him."Don't touch me."Lorenzo's patience seemed exhausted by my refusal. He angrily slammed the items on the table."Isabella, I go to the trouble of finding holy relics for you, and you still can't show any gratitude?!"I closed my eyes, forcing myself to calm down. When I spoke again, my voice revealed no emotion."Lorenzo, let's make a deal. I'm willing to sign a lifetime exclusion agreement and give all my remaining territory to you or Marina. I have only one request: let me leave."I offered my freedom as the final bargain.Lorenzo

Before consciousness faded, my final thought was that I would never trust anyone again.For five years of marriage, he had provided me shelter when I was in most dire straits.But it turned out that shelter had been designed from the beginning to push me into a deeper trap.When I regained consciousness, the body's craving for morphine was the only thing I could perceive.Despair swept over me like a black tide, swallowing me instantly.Lorenzo had truly succeeded. He had been my most trusted confidant, and now he had turned me into an addict.Tears flowed silently while hatred boiled like magma in my heart.Withdrawal symptoms erupted hours later—a craving and torment rising from the depths of my soul, more terrifying than any physical injury.My body convulsed in pain, cold sweat pouring out as I stared blankly at the ceiling.At moments I even wishwed I were dead."Look at you, still alive?""Really a tough one, isn't she? hahahahha..."A familiar voice shattered the room's silence.
