On the day I signed the divorce papers, I was ordered to leave with nothing. When I walked out of the Crane estate, I had twenty-six dollars in my wallet and nowhere safe to go. My phone was nearly dead when a message from an old classmate appeared on the screen, linking to a discreet placement notice. 【Seeking a live-in maternal figure for three children. Room, board, salary, and protection provided.】 I stopped at the word protection. A roof, a meal, and a place the Cranes could not reach me were already more than I had that night. The address led me to the iron gates of an old mansion on Chicago’s Gold Coast. Only after the butler opened the door did I learn who had placed the notice. Dante Bellandi. The Don of Chicago’s oldest Italian crime family. I had only wanted a place to stay. Somehow, I became the legal mother of the three Bellandi children and the contract wife of Dante Bellandi himself. Later, my ex-husband, Sebastian Crane, stood before me with the same careless arrogance and asked, “Do you realize you were wrong now?” Before I could answer, the triplets stepped in front of me. Little Livia clung to my leg, her eyes red. “My mom wasn’t wrong!” Her two brothers stood on either side of her, staring Sebastian down. Dante placed one hand at my waist, his voice calm enough to make the air turn cold. “Mr. Crane, my wife owes no explanation to a man who lost the right to speak to her.”

After My Divorce, I Became the Mafia Don’s Wife Chapter 12
Three weeks after the investigation into Crane Medical began, the Bellandi Children’s Art and Safety Foundation replaced all of its medical equipment suppliers.Dante never mentioned Sebastian again.I did not ask.News about the Crane family still appeared in the financial pages now and then, but I no longer followed every update. The people who had once pressed their weight down on me were finally dealing with their own consequences.Every morning when I woke, I heard Livia outside my door softly discussing with Pearl whether she should wear the blue dress, Nico complaining down the hall that Matteo had stolen his waffle, and Matteo calmly reminding him that the waffle had been on his own plate.The Bellandi estate was still heavily guarded, but it no longer felt only like a fortress.After breakfast one morning, Dante placed a document in front of me.I paused when I saw the title.Appointment of Executive Director of the Bellandi Children’s Art and Safety Foundation.“What is this?

The audit results came sooner than I expected.On the third morning, Enzo brought the report into the dining room while I helped Livia smooth the ribbon on Pearl’s ear. Nico was standing on a chair to steal cookies, and Matteo pulled him down without changing expression.Dante read the file and closed it.“Two batches of children’s rehabilitation equipment supplied by Crane Medical failed procurement standards. The prices were nearly thirty percent above market, and the excess funds moved through accounts tied to a private Crane family foundation.”The dining room went still.Nico hugged the cookie jar. “So he really is bad?”Matteo looked at Dante. “The audit confirmed it?”“Yes.”Livia clutched Pearl. “Will he come after Mom again?”Before I could answer, Enzo took a call. A few seconds later, his face darkened.“Don, Sebastian Crane is at his lawyers’ office. He is requesting a meeting with Mrs. Bellandi.”Dante said, “Refuse.”“Wait.” I set down the ribbon. “I want to see him one l

After Sebastian was banned from Bellandi property, the estate stayed quiet for two days.The audit at Crane Medical continued. Enzo brought new updates to Dante’s study each day, but Dante never mentioned them at breakfast, and the children did not ask.That afternoon, I finally repaired Livia’s music box.The broken ballerina had been replaced with a small silver rabbit, and the old mechanism had been cleaned and oiled. When the key turned, the familiar melody rose slowly from the box.Livia stood beside me with Pearl in her arms, her eyes bright.“It works?”“Try it.”She wound it carefully, and the silver rabbit began to turn. Nico leaned too close, and Matteo pulled him back by the sleeve.“You’ll knock it over.”“I was just looking.”Livia ignored them. She watched the rabbit spin, then asked softly, “Did my mom know how to fix things too?”The room quieted.It was the first time she had mentioned her mother to me.I set the screwdriver down. “I don’t know. But I’m sure she wanted

By the next morning, news that the audit team had entered Crane Medical had already spread through half of Chicago.I heard about it at breakfast.Nico was cutting his eggs into uneven pieces when Enzo quietly reported to Dante. He immediately looked up. “So the bad man is in trouble now?”Matteo set down his milk. “We wait for the audit results.”Nico stared at him. “Why do you sound like a lawyer?”“Because you sound like a witness.”Livia did not understand the details. She only sat beside me with Pearl in her arms and quietly pushed yesterday’s note, the one that said For Mom, toward my plate.I saw it, but did not expose her.Breakfast was nearly over when the security channel at the outer gate came alive.Enzo listened through his earpiece, then stepped to Dante’s side. “Don, Sebastian Crane is at the gate. He says he has something he must hand to Mrs. Bellandi personally.”My hand paused around my cup.Dante looked at me. “You don’t have to see him.”Livia clutched Pearl. “He ca

After Livia spoke, the conversations in the hall dropped low.She stood in front of me with Pearl in her arms, her small shoulders still trembling, her red eyes stubborn. Sebastian looked down at her, as if he had only just realized a child had challenged him in public.“Little girl, when adults are

A week after the Volvo appeared, I took the triplets to the preview hall of the Bellandi Children’s Arts Foundation.Dante’s family funded the annual charity auction, and one wall had been reserved for drawings from children across the city. Livia’s picture of Pearl had been selected. She insisted P

When the maid brought the napkin and pen, the dining room was quiet except for Livia’s broken sobs.I did not move toward her right away.Dante was still holding her. Her shoulders shook as she cried, but her fingers stayed locked around the white rabbit toy in her arms. Its ribbon had been twisted
