After I Died, Everyone Regretted It Chapter 10
Seven days after my father died, my mother finished paying compensation to every victim's family.She emptied the vast De Luca estate, removed a century's worth of portraits of past dons from the great hall, and donated the property outright to the Sofia Refuge.When all of that was done, she put on the plainest white dress she owned, wore no jewelry and no brooch, and went to Santa Maria Cathedral.She carried my sealed urn out herself.My mother held me and made her slow way onto an old seawall outside Port San Vito.This was where I had seen the ocean for the first time, the year I was six.In my memory, the sun had been bright that day. My father lifted me onto his shoulders, laughing as he called me the De Luca family's little princess. My mother gently fastened my kite string, took my hand, and promised, "Do not be afraid, Sofia. Mom and Dad will never leave you."That was the only stretch of happiness the three of us ever had.My mother sat on the seawall as the sea wind tossed

After Celeste died, my father returned to the underground chapel of the Five Families.He stood alone before the patch of stone floor where I had fallen and remained there all night.The blood on the floor had dried long ago, but that dark red stain had burned itself into his soul."Sofia... the one who should have paid that blood debt was me," he murmured to the empty chapel.Twice he had chosen the simplest, most convenient answer. The first time, he thrust me into enemy hands as a hostage. The second, he let them put a bullet through my heart.He was a mafia don, accustomed to sacrificing others for gain and order. In the end, he had sacrificed his only biological daughter.Early the next morning, my father made a decision that shook the entire underworld.He dismantled the De Luca family with his own hands.Marco walked into an FBI field office carrying several crates of the De Luca family's most sensitive files.He surrendered the entire underground network the De Luca family had

Without the protection of the De Luca family, Celeste's world collapsed in an instant.After fleeing the church, she sought help from the wealthy socialites she once called friends, but they shut their doors on her. She tried to hide in a hotel owned by the De Luca family, but her credit cards had already been frozen. She ran to the docks to buy passage out, only for the killers and criminals who had once taken her orders to hunt her through the streets, determined to silence her before she could expose them.The untouchable heiress had become a stray that everyone in the underworld wanted dead.All she could do was hide in a reeking abandoned slaughterhouse and in damp, black harbor warehouses.Fear and hunger tormented her. Whenever night fell, she could not shake the feeling that a figure stood in the dark."Sofia... Sofia, stay back! I did not kill you! The Council pulled the trigger!" She would curl up in a pile of garbage and scream at empty air like a madwoman.In truth, I only

The clergy at Santa Maria Church received my body with solemn reverence.In accordance with my wishes, my ashes were sealed temporarily in the chapel on the hill behind the church. They would remain there until they could be scattered at sea, never entering the De Luca cemetery.Three days later, my mother held a public memorial mass for me at Santa Maria Cathedral.The church was full.Besides the representatives of the Five Families and the De Luca captains, there were dockworkers from Port San Vito, the old doctor from the underground clinic, and the girls I had once helped.They wore plain clothes and carried white flowers, and they had come on their own to see me off.Celeste was brought there too.My mother did not allow her a seat in any family section. Celeste was dragged in by two bodyguards, dressed in a rough black gown with no family insignia, and forced to kneel alone on the cold stone at the center of the church.Vito stood at the lectern and read the full account of ever

My father did not execute Celeste in the underground chapel.Under the rules of the mafia, private vengeance would have been the gravest insult to Sofia's memory.He had Celeste taken back to the De Luca estate and summoned every De Luca captain, along with witnesses from the Five Families.The century-old De Luca crest hung high on the wall of the great hall.Celeste was on her knees in the center of the hall, her gown stained with blood. She looked up at my parents on the dais and still tried to clutch the hem of Isabella's dress, crying pitifully, "Mom! I was wrong, I was really wrong! But I was just so scared... I was scared Sofia would come back and take your love away from me! My parents died to save you, so for their sake, please forgive me one more time!"Every other time, one mention of her dead parents had made Isabella give in without question.But this time, my mother sat in her chair with a face as white as a corpse and no warmth in her eyes. She did not look at Celeste ev

The damaged recording kept playing in the deathly silent chapel.Celeste's soft, poisonous voice filled every corner of the chapel, "...The gun is in the spare cabinet in the armory, registered under that madwoman's name. I already altered the remote login records. Once she signs the confession, everyone will believe the traitor who ran seven years ago came back for revenge. My parents care so much about the family's reputation and mine that even if they suspect something, they will have no choice but to put Sofia in front of the firing squad themselves.""No... that is not me! It is fake!" Celeste crumpled to the floor, shaking all over, dragging herself backward.My father's face was ashen. My mother stared blankly at the player as if her soul had been torn out.Vito did not stop. He opened the scorched black strongbox and took out a thick stack of documents and two ledgers."Mr. De Luca, this is the complete evidence recovered from the abandoned warehouse." Vito's voice was cold and
