Chapter 3

Penulis: Rorschach
I thought Andre and I would never see each other again before I left the country.

But on the very night I officially submitted my application to leave the Family, he actually called me and invited me to dinner.

When I refused, the man's voice immediately revealed his dissatisfaction.

"Why won't you come?"

I casually brushed him off.

"I've gained some weight recently. I don't want to go."

The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them slightly.

It sounded as if I still cared about what he thought of me.

Sure enough, Andre let out a low chuckle, teasing me.

"Do you really think there's anything about you I haven't seen? You should know that I've always loved you, your appearance would never change that."

His overly intimate tone made me extremely uncomfortable, so I spoke coldly.

"Is there something else?"

The man immediately noticed the distance in my voice. For once, there was a hint of panic in his tone.

"I heard from them that you submitted an application to leave the Family?"

I hummed in response, not intending to explain.

Andre fell silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice surprisingly carried a hint of pleading.

"Why do you want to leave?"

"You are, after all, the only godmother of the Family."

I impatiently interrupted him.

"Shouldn't you be staying with Alice?"

Andre couldn't help but lower his voice.

"My relationship with her is already in the past. What's there to accompany her for?"

But after saying that, he fell silent.

Because he suddenly remembered that I was nothing more than his ex-wife now.

A trace of guilt flashed across Andre's face.

"The divorce... I was the one who wronged you."

"I was just afraid that if we didn't divorce, people would secretly gossip about Alice..."

I nodded.

Alice shouldn't have been the subject of gossip.

So I deserved to become the joke , the topic everyone in the Family discussed during their free time.

My voice grew colder.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Wait!"

Andre's voice suddenly became urgent.

"The eighth is our wedding anniversary. There's an auction of famous paintings that day. I know you love painting, and I know I've neglected you these past few days. Let's go to the exhibition together that day. I'll buy you an original Picasso as an apology. How about that?"

For a brief moment, I hesitated.

I wanted to tell him the truth.

But before I could say anything, Alice's voice came through the phone first.

"Andre, my chest hurts so much."

Andre didn't respond immediately.

All I could hear was his breathing suddenly becoming heavier.

Silence was the clearest answer.

"Go ahead."

I gave a self-mocking laugh.

He cleared his throat, as if trying to explain.

"Rachel, Alice's situation is complicated. I'll be back soon."

Just as I expected, I heard Alice's soft moan.

Then came the sound of Andre and Alice kissing.

Coincidentally, Sophia called out to me, asking me to go to the bar and relax.

I hung up the phone without hesitation.

There were so many things in this world that could make me happy.

I would never let you hurt me again, Andre.

    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
