After They Let My Father Die, I Left Him for Good Chapter 9
I kept my word and let Aurelio go.Everything he'd owned was already in my hands.By the end of that night, every guest in the room had sworn loyalty to the Radcliffe family.I reported everything to my aunt.For once, she actually laughed on the other end of the line. "Well done. That's how my heir should handle things."But you let Aurelio go. Do you still have feelings for him?"A small smile curved my lips. "Not a chance. I let him go so I could watch him lose all hope."After I let Aurelio go that day, I had people watch his every move.With nothing left, Aurelio ran to my grave in desperation and dug up the emerald necklace he'd paid one billion euros for.He was counting on that valuable necklace to get him out of Italy so he could rebuild his power.But the jeweler soon told him it was a worthless piece of green glass."That's impossible!" In disbelief, Aurelio punched the jeweler.But he wasn't a Mafia Don anymore. The jeweler's bodyguards beat him bloody and threw him out ont

All the color drained out of Aurelio's face.He seemed to remember three years ago, when he'd humiliated me until I had no fight left and I'd said those words in shame.Now I held all the power, and I'd said them to mock him."No..." Aurelio started to explain.But I didn't have the patience to listen. I cut him off with a wave of my hand.At my signal, the guards behind me stepped forward, drew their guns, and aimed at Aurelio.Aurelio took a step back in shock, his voice low. "Adele, I know you're angry, but this is still my territory."He snapped his fingers, but nothing happened."How is this possible?" Stunned, Aurelio snapped his fingers again. Still nothing.The guests had already dropped to the floor or ducked behind cover the moment my guards drew their guns.But the gunfight everyone expected never came. Everyone just watched Aurelio snap his fingers again and again like a clown."Are you waiting for this?" I snapped my fingers.In a flash, dozens of men in black poured out o

Adele's POV:I walked in wearing a long black velvet dress. The ring on my finger caught the light from the crystal chandeliers, so everyone could see the Radcliffe family crest.Several tall guards from the Radcliffe family followed me in, and their presence alone silenced the noisy room at once."Adele, is it really you?"Aurelio stared at me in shock and strode toward me, trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things, but my guards blocked his way.I didn't look at him. My eyes swept calmly across the room, and I walked straight to the front-row seats reserved for the most powerful families and sat down.Hollis stepped forward and announced to the whole hall, "Presenting Adele Radcliffe, heir to the Radcliffe family, who will be bidding on its behalf tonight."The whole room was stunned.Everyone knew the story: three years ago, Aurelio had broken my heart over his lover Marilyn, and I'd died in a fire because of him.And now I was back in Italy as the heir to the biggest crime family

Third-person POV:At dusk the next day, the underground auction was held in the great hall beneath the Moretti family castle.Aurelio's men, all in black suits, stood guard throughout the hall, each with an identical pistol tucked into his waistband.Aurelio stood on the raised platform in a bespoke black suit, the Moretti family crest pinned to his chest and an unlit cigar between his fingers.He was restless. He kept glancing at the entrance, hoping to see Adele.Marilyn stood behind him. When she noticed his mind was somewhere else, she tugged on his arm and complained under her breath, "Aurelio, when are you going to give me that emerald necklace you paid one billion euros for?""Quiet." Aurelio frowned and shook off her hand.Marilyn bit her lip and moved aside, sulking.In those three years, Aurelio hadn't married Marilyn, but he'd let her stay with him.The longer they were together, though, the harder it became for Marilyn to keep up her act.The sweet, innocent, lovable girl t
After They Let My Father Die, I Left Him for Good Chapter 5
By the time the jet landed in Italy, the setting sun had turned the city gold.Everything was exactly the way it had been when I left, but I wasn't.The window of the limo reflected the woman I was now.I'd cut off the long hair Aurelio used to say was more precious than gold.My sleek, short hair fell just past my ears, revealing my jawline and the prominent scar I'd gotten during an underground deal in England.If the bullet had come a fraction closer, it would have gone straight through my cheek.I ran a finger along the scar. In three years, I'd had plenty of close calls like that.Even with my aunt protecting and training me, I had to prove I belonged in the Radcliffe family.So I personally took part in every deal I planned.My hand slid down to my stomach, and through my dress, I rubbed a scar longer than my palm.On my way to a deal once, one of my own men betrayed me. I shielded the most vulnerable parts of my body before the explosion, but a piece of flying metal still tore t
After They Let My Father Die, I Left Him for Good Chapter 4
Three years later, I sat by a second-floor window at a grand estate in the English countryside, drinking a cup of black tea.Hollis, the butler, bowed and reported, "Ms. Radcliffe, the 50-carat emerald necklace you sent to auction has been bought by Aurelio Moretti for one billion euros. The money has been transferred to your private account."I nodded, set down my teacup, and gave the order."File the flight plan and ready the jet. I want to be in Italy as soon as possible."Hollis went right away to make the arrangements.I stood up and looked out at the roses beyond the window, as red as fresh blood, and smiled softly.The person I'd texted that day was my aunt, Vittoria Radcliffe.My family didn't let women hold power. My aunt was more capable than any of them, but they never took her seriously.So she cut ties with the Silvestri family, went to England alone, and joined the Radcliffe family, the biggest crime family in the country. Just over ten years later, she was running it.By
