The 99th time my fiancé, Draven, hung up on me, I dragged myself to the family's church, my diagnosis of end-stage renal disease clutched in my hand. "Father, I wish to renounce the Rocci family and break off my engagement to Draven Frost." The words had barely left my lips when my parents burst in with my adopted sister, Bianca. My father, the family's Consigliere, didn't hesitate. He slapped me across the face, right there in front of the priest. "Your fiancé is a respected Capo in our world, and you choose to insult him like this!" "You're dragging our family's name through the mud in front of the whole organization!" My mother snatched the diagnosis from my hand, sneering after a brief glance. "Playing sick for attention again, are you? What is it you want this time?" My adopted sister, Bianca, clung to our parents' arms, her voice choked with tears. "I'm so sorry, sister. You can have my place at the gala. Please, just stop making trouble for Mom and Dad!" I wiped the blood trickling from my nose and calmly repeated my words to the priest. "I am no longer a daughter of the Rocci family. I am not worthy of an alliance with the Frosts." "I will be dead in three days. I want this engagement broken before then."

After Escaping The Family, I Chose to Scatter My Ashes into the Sea Chapter 13
One year later.The once-glorious Rocci family mansion now stood desolate, the vast estate housing only Marco and Jane, who were left with nothing but each other.Having lost their standing in the Family, their new life was worlds apart from the one they once knew.Gone were the scores of servants, the endless social gatherings, and the power to command the city's underworld.Every day, Marco would sit in Eleanor's old room, the space that had been a shrine to Bianca but which they had now painstakingly restored for their daughter.Though little of Eleanor's belongings remained, they desperately tried to piece together what was left of their daughter's life.Jane polished the dust-covered music box until it shone. In the dead of night, she would open it, listening to its simple, sorrowful melody, imagining a young Eleanor practicing the piano in that very room."If only we had paid more attention to her," Jane would often tell herself, her vision blurred by tears.Draven's fate was eve

"Enough! I've had enough!"At dusk on the fifth day, Bianca finally broke.She struggled free from her guards and stood up on the rocks, her eyes burning with a crazed hatred."You think torturing me will bring Eleanor back to life?""Who was she, anyway? Just a useless piece of trash!"Begging for mercy had failed. Now, she would have her revenge.A week later, in the surveillance room.Tony, the tech, ran frantically to Marco's office."Boss, we've intercepted some critical intelligence!"He played a recording, and Bianca's voice came through clearly:"Mr. Colombo, I can provide you with the Frost family's trade routes.""In return, I need your protection and enough money to get out of here."Marco's face turned ashen.To think that he, the Consigliere, had raised a traitor in his own house.The recording continued:"Draven has an arms deal at Pier 5 tomorrow night.""The specific time is 11 p.m. The buyer is the Irish mob from Boston.""This deal is worth five million dollars."Marc

Three days after Eleanor was laid to rest.For Bianca, these three days were nothing out of the ordinary.Returning from a socialite party, she saw Marco, Jane, and Draven sitting in the living room and threw herself into their arms with a practiced pout, as she always did."Mom, Dad, Draven, tonight's party was a huge success!"She was holding shopping bags from luxury brands, a triumphant smile on her face."I made connections with the daughters of three more important Families. They're all very interested in our business. Especially the little princess of the Santini family, she said she wants to work with us!"She paused deliberately, then added as if it were an afterthought:"By the way, has my dear sister been embarrassing the family again? I haven't seen her in days. Didn't run off with some street rat, did she?"The words had barely left her mouth when Marco backhanded her across the face.The slap echoed through the lavish living room, and Bianca stumbled backward.Stunned, Bi
