When Andre returned to Sicily like a man who had lost his soul, what awaited him were the cold faces of the Family elders.For the past three years, he had neglected too many Family affairs while searching for me.Five of his ports had been attacked by the Camorra Family, three casinos under his name had been taken, and the losses recorded on the financial reports were impossible to ignore.The elders had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.This time, his decision to abandon an important Family council meeting and rush to New York without permission became the final straw.On the day the news of the godfather's removal spread throughout the underworld, I was in Miami signing an arms contract worth hundreds of millions.My deputy handed me the report."The Loreto Family has experienced an internal rebellion. Andre has been stripped of his title as godfather. His uncle is temporarily taking over as the head of the Family."I glanced at it and threw the report into the shredder."
The next evening, Andre was waiting outside my office.My deputy reported that he had stood in the lobby for six hours.The security guards had forced him out three times, but every time he was driven away, he came back.In the end, I grew impatient and told them to let him in.When he pushed open the door, he was holding a bouquet of white roses.The flowers were incredibly fresh, with droplets of water still resting on the petals.They were the exact variety I used to love."Put them on the coffee table."I didn't even raise my head as I continued reviewing the documents in front of me."And remember to take them with you when you leave."Andre didn't move.He simply stood three steps away from my desk, placed the flowers at his feet, and slowly bent one knee.He knelt down.The tip of my pen paused."What are you doing?""Rachel..."He lifted his head.His eyes filled with tear, and his voice was so hoarse it was almost broken."I'm sorry.""I know."I lowered my head and continued
In late autumn, the chill of New York seeped into the bones.Yet inside the banquet hall, glasses clinked, conversations flowed, and warmth filled the air.I held a glass of champagne while discussing the new harbor project with the real estate tycoon hosting the event.But from the corner of my eye, I caught a sudden commotion at the entrance.A waiter respectfully bowed and escorted someone inside.Three years had passed.His features had barely changed, though he looked thinner, and a few strands of silver had appeared at his temples.The custom-made black suit he wore was wrinkled, and on his hand was still the wedding ring that symbolized our love.He searched through the crowd for something.His gaze was desperate and frantic, like a man who had lost his most precious treasure.Then, finally, he saw me.His footsteps stopped.His entire body froze in place.I looked away and continued chatting with the real estate tycoon."Fifteen percent of the profit share. I can't offer more t
When the plane landed on the runway in the United States, I looked out the window at the unfamiliar scenery and suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed.The moment I walked out of the terminal, I saw my father's slightly hunched figure.The once-powerful godfather, who had been full of ambition and confidence, now had completely white hair at his temples.The moment he saw me, his eyes filled with deep compassion.Back then, my father had moved to the United States to expand his territory and establish a new force.But I had stubbornly stayed in Sicily for Andre.Not only had I defied my father, but I had even been willing to cut ties with my own family because of him.Until now, I had not seen my family for six years."Daddy..."I choked up and rushed into his arms."Your daughter was so unfilial. Back then, I actually abandoned my family for a man like Andre."My father hugged me tightly.He did not blame me for my past stubbornness.He only said:"As long as you are home now, that
Andre returned home like a man was utterly distraught.The moment he pushed open the door, he saw a familiar figure moving around in the kitchen.Was that Rachel?It had to be her.He knew it.Rachel couldn't bear to leave him.His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a flash of uncontrollable joy appeared in his eyes."Rachel? you are back?"He practically stumbled into the kitchen.His eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.But the moment he saw the person inside, he froze.The smile on his face slowly faded away.It wasn't her.Alice was wearing pajamas, calmly stirring the soup in the pot.When she saw him return, she immediately revealed a sweet smile."Andre, you are back?"All of his expectations vanished in an instant.Andre's expression turned cold."Didn't you already leave?"He remembered clearly that he had personally escorted Alice onto the plane."I came back."Alice placed the spoon down and walked closer.Her slender fingers brushed against his chest."Andre,
"Goodbye forever, Andre."I ended the call decisively and turned off my phone.As I watched the plane slowly rise into the sky, everything that had been weighing on me was finally left behind.Andre stood in Sophia's house, gripping the phone that had been abruptly disconnected.His expression was dark.His voice was low and hoarse, suppressing emotions he was desperately trying to contain."Where did she go?"Sophia let out a cold laugh."Do you really think I would tell you?"Andre's gaze turned colder."Sophia, I'm warning you. Tell me where Rachel went.""So the godfather is finally getting anxious?"Sophia ignored him and walked straight toward the door.She pulled it open."Please leave."Andre remained standing where he was, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty."We agreed that today would be the day we remarried. She can't just disappear like this.""Remarry?"Sophia covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly."Godfather, do you really think everyone will just
