Abandoned by My Husband, I Chose To Become the Don Chapter 10
The air in the abandoned safe house in Brooklyn reeked of mold.Lorenzo huddled in the corner of the sofa, clutching a gun that had no bullets. He hadn't slept in three days. The sirens outside sounded like the footsteps of the Reaper, getting closer and closer."Sophia? Are you packed yet? We have to leave, now!"Lorenzo hissed, keeping his voice low.However, the response wasn't Sophia's panicked sobbing, but a deafening crash."FBI! Freeze!"The door was blown off its hinges by a battering ram. Blinding tactical lights instantly swallowed the dim room.Lorenzo instinctively raised his gun, only to find countless infrared laser sights locked onto the center of his forehead.In despair, he raised his hands."Lorenzo Corleone, you are under arrest for first-degree murder, money laundering, and racketeering."An FBI agent in a bulletproof vest stepped forward, roughly slamming him against the wall. The cold handcuffs locked around his wrists with a sharp *click*."Who... who gave me up?

Lorenzo’s voice sounded like a dying beast, screaming my name through the torrential rain.He refused to leave.He stubbornly believed that if he knelt in the rain long enough, just like he did years ago, my heart would soften. He thought I would come out holding an umbrella and bring him home, just like I did when I was eighteen.Unfortunately, the Elena who loved him died the night he abandoned her."Make him shut up."I set down my glass of red wine, draped a black cashmere coat over my shoulders, and walked out of the main building.Outside the iron gates, Lorenzo was gripping the bars tightly. Seeing my silhouette emerge through the curtain of rain, his dim eyes instantly lit up with a shocking intensity."Elena! I knew it... I knew you couldn't let me go!""Sophia tricked me! That bitch miscarried! She was using me the whole time! I have nothing left now. I only have you!"He reached out, trying to touch me through the bars, a pathetic, ingratiating smile on his face. He looked a

Stripped of the halo of the Corleone Don, it took only three months for Lorenzo's world to crash from the clouds into the gutter.He was in the messiest slums of Brooklyn—a dark corner filled with cheap dope and violent crime.Without the Family's protection or assets, the once arrogant "Wolf of Sicily" was reduced to selling his life for a few hundred bucks as a low-level enforcer in underground fight clubs and dirty streets.Late at night, the rain was pouring down.Lorenzo clutched his abdomen, stumbling through the door of that cheap semi-basement rental.The air reeked of mold, expired pizza, and cheap perfume."You finally decided to come back?"Sophia sat on the clutter-filled sofa, wearing a knockoff Chanel dress bought from a street stall, applying bright red lipstick in the mirror.Seeing Lorenzo covered in blood and looking pathetic, her eyes held no pity, only undisguised disgust and loathing."Where's today's money? I need that new bag. Even if it's a fake, that bitch next

"There's one more thing besides freezing the assets."My gaze locked onto Sophia's snowy white neck.Hanging there was a dazzling ruby necklace. It was blood-red—pigeon's blood rubies from the oldest mines in Sicily.Sophia subconsciously covered her neck and shrank back into Lorenzo's arms."That necklace is an heirloom from my mother—the previous *Mama* of the Corleone family."I stepped closer, the sharp click of my heels sounding like a death knell against the floor."It symbolizes the matriarch of the Corleone family. Only a legitimate *Mama* has the right to wear it.""Sophia, you're just a bastard adopted out of pity. Even if you climbed into Lorenzo's bed, you aren't worthy of wearing it."I raised my hand. Two burly knightages immediately stepped forward."Take it off her.""And that priceless Parisian couture gown."I swept a cold glance over her lace dress, my tone dripping with disdain, as if discussing trash."The books show Lorenzo bought it with embezzled family funds."

The sunlight in Sicily was blindingly bright.Lorenzo stood in his bespoke black suit in front of the high-backed red velvet chair that symbolized supreme power.He must have been glancing at the entrance from time to time.He was waiting for me.After all, in our countless arguments before, I was always the one to bow my head first.He was certain that, for the sake of the family's face and our so-called "marital bond," I would swallow all my grievances and attend his coronation.However, seconds turned into minutes, and the heavy doors remained shut.The anxiety in Lorenzo's eyes grew intense. Subconsciously, he twisted the ruby pinky ring that represented the power of the Don."Stop looking, Lorenzo."Sophia, dressed in a white lace gown even more lavish than a Mama’s ceremonial dress, intimately linked her arm through his, practically pressing her entire body against him.She stroked her flat stomach and whispered in his ear like a snake hissing venom."Elena isn't coming. She was

The whir of the helicopter rotors faded completely into the night sky.The vast Corleone estate was now as silent as a tomb.To ensure Sophia's absolute safety during the transport, Lorenzo hadn't just taken the "Shadow Guard"; he had even pulled every single Soldato from the estate.All he left me were a few elderly servants and a mansion so empty it was unnerving.Clutching the hastily bandaged gauze on my forehead, I sat in the old leather chair my father had left behind, staring at the pitch-black night outside. The instinct of prey being stalked sent a chill down my spine.News traveled too fast.The Don had left New York, taking his elite forces with him, leaving a wounded Mama to guard an empty fortress.For the rival families who had been lying in wait, this was an invitation to a feeding frenzy.*Boom!*A deafening blast shattered the bulletproof glass of the French windows. A heatwave carrying shards of glass rushed into the living room.It was the smell of C4.The estate's w
