The guests who had been eyeing me eagerly recoiled in shock.

"Wh-what? Are you saying you're Grace?"

I gave a cold laugh and peeled the prosthetic mask from my face, revealing features that resembled Cecily's but were clearly my own.

Selwyn's eyes widened in terror.

But he quickly recovered.

"Times have changed! Do you think you're still the Donna everyone feared after hiding on an island for ten years? Your largest mining company? I shorted it years ago."

Once again, Selwyn showed me how little

  • After My Daughter Died, I Revealed I Was the Mafia Boss   Chapter 9

    I spoke with the confidence of someone used to giving orders.My offer had clearly tempted him, but Valentin only spun the ring on his finger. "If I kill you, I lose a competitor. I still get the money, power, and profit."I smiled. "You're no fool, Valentin. You know the West Coast has stayed peaceful because someone has been keeping it that way. That someone is me. I faked my death, but my allies, lieutenants, and informants are everywhere. Without me, do you really think you could control them all?"Valentin fell silent. After a long moment, he lowered his gun.His gaze was still hostile, but I caught a hint of admiration."Everyone says you lost your protection when your husband died and could only wait for your enemies to destroy you. But I always knew your power never came from a man. Grace, it came from you."I took it as the highest compliment. And I knew I deserved it.Valentin left, leaving Leon stunned.I gave my men a look. They grabbed Leon by the shoulders and forced him

  • After My Daughter Died, I Revealed I Was the Mafia Boss   Chapter 8

    I whipped Selwyn, then poured liquor over his bleeding wounds.I locked Iliana and Helena in a cage without food or water.When they grew desperate with hunger, I watched them fight over a piece of moldy bread.Iliana gouged out one of Helena's eyes. Helena went berserk. She grabbed Iliana by the hair and slammed her head against the bars until her face was unrecognizable.My daughter was not yet avenged, so I wouldn't let them die. I summoned a doctor. "Stitch them up without anesthetic. Just keep them alive."Their screams gave me no satisfaction.I knew countless ways to torture people, but I hated this bloodshed. All I'd ever wanted was to leave that life behind and live peacefully with my daughter.I had spent ten years chasing that dream. Ten whole years.They destroyed it just as I was about to reach it."You will stay here and suffer for the rest of your lives. This grand estate I gave you will be your prison. You'll never leave."But I didn't know another surprise was coming.

    Selwyn stumbled back and shook his head wildly."No. No, you're lying. You're trying to turn me against Iliana."Then he seemed to remember something, and his confidence returned."How could Cecily be carrying my child? I didn't want a baby causing trouble, so I had her uterus removed long ago!"His words hit me like a bolt of lightning. My vision darkened.My heart pounded. What else had my daughter endured while I was gone?Everyone who had harmed her would pay. Rage consumed me. I wanted to tear Selwyn apart with my bare hands. "You bastard! How could you? How dare you!"How dare he do that to Cecily? How dare he take away her chance to ever become a mother?I did not know how Cecily had become pregnant, but Selwyn's confession proved he had abused her far worse than I'd known.Selwyn calmed down and moved the tip of the dagger to my heart."What a pity, Grace. Your bloodline is about to end. Rest in peace. I'll take your wealth, your daughter, and your organization."As he raised t

    While I was wounded, Selwyn drove his elbow into me.I slammed into the stone pillar behind me and coughed up blood.Selwyn drew a dagger, pressed it against my bullet wound, and shoved it inside.He twisted the blade slowly, grinding it deeper into my flesh.Pain. Blinding pain...I bit down on my lip until I tasted blood."Cecily was always obedient. But this time she refused to listen. She went through a little punishment, then ran off to find you without permission. Otherwise, you might have enjoyed a few more peaceful days. I planned to marry Iliana, take everything you had, and then come after you."I could not understand how the gentle, caring Selwyn I once knew had become this man.He had once been the sweet boy next door who always looked after Cecily.When a venomous snake bit Cecily as she saved him, he risked his own life and sucked the venom from the wound.When older students bullied her, he fought them alone. He still had the scar on his head.When my enemies kidnapped C

Do you think you're still the Donna everyone feared after hiding on an island for ten years? Your largest mining company? I shorted it years ago."Once again, Selwyn showed me how little I really knew about him.He and his family were vile.They had forgotten everything I'd done for them. Worse, they had used my trust to plot against me right under my nose.Selwyn struggled to his feet, one hand pressed against his bleeding thigh.He looked at me with a smug, vicious smile."Whether she's Cecily or Grace, she's still just one woman. Whoever takes her down can do whatever he wants with her. I'll also give him ten percent of my shares as a reward."The Griffiths family's business

    A murmur rippled through the crowd."What?! Didn't she die with her mother in that shipwreck? S-she's alive?""I saw Grace once from a distance. I thought this woman looked a little like her."I stared at Selwyn.Years ago, his family had sworn never to reveal Cecily's parentage without my permission."Selwyn, aren't you afraid of the consequences?! If my... if my mother knew what you've done to me all these years, she would never let you get away with it."Selwyn laughed off my warning."Your mother? She's spent years hiding like a rat in the dark. Her organization must have collapsed after your father died. Why else would she hide? What could one woman possibly do? Besides, I'm about to marry Iliana. Once our families join forces, what can a fallen Mafia family do to us?"I had underestimated the Griffiths family's ambition.Selwyn and Helena wanted far more than I had realized.But they had miscalculated.I had stayed out of conflict for years, but my organization was as powerful as
