When I bring up divorce in front of my husband, Vito Corti, he happens to be toying with a lace thigh strap that's gifted to him by a rising adult film star. Vito, the head of the Corti family as well as the youngest Don in Emaly, orders his Soldato to pick up his new lover tonight. Then, he shoots a languid glance at the divorce agreement on the table. "How big of a tantrum are you throwing this time, my dear Donna?" I reply calmly, "I didn't touch the bank card tied to the private account. I also don't want the estate in Emaly as well as the bulletproof convoy. I have already entrusted the asset management authority to your Consigliere." Vito is stunned for a moment, but he still thinks I'm still throwing a tantrum. "You don't want those assets? Then what do you want? My devotion? Gia, I already told you in the past that you're the woman with the highest position in the family. But it's too boring for a Don to own just one woman." He tries to reach out to feel my cheek, thinking that I'll act the same way as before; that I'll forgive him in a roundabout way after lashing out at him. But I just avoid his hand. I no longer want Vito's devotion to me. Now, I just want to leave him.

The rain was pounding down late that night when someone knocked on the DeLuca castle gates.The security feed showed Vito soaked to the bone, kneeling outside. He'd brought no men with him. His once proud spine curved forward now, making him look like a beaten dog.Leo glanced at me. "Want to see him?"I set down my book and stood calmly. "See him? Why wouldn't I? I've waited too long for this moment."The gates opened slowly.Vito lifted his head as rain streamed down his pale face. When he saw me walking out with Leo's support, hope flickered in his eyes before pain swallowed it whole."Gia…"His voice came out hoarse and broken, barely audible over the rain. I held an umbrella and stood on the steps looking down at him, just like I'd looked at him years ago when he lay dying at the docks. Only back then it was pity, and now it was indifference."Mr. Corti, outsiders aren't welcome here."Vito crawled forward on his knees, reaching for the hem of my dress. Leo stepped forwar

The days at the DeLuca castle felt surreally peaceful.Leo kept his word. He hired the world's best rehabilitation specialists and accompanied me through brutal, monotonous training sessions every day. Even when my fingers managed the slightest bend, he praised me generously.News about Vito kept flowing in steadily. The explosion that night had destroyed a third of the Corti family's weapons cache.Vito went ballistic and launched a rabid purge across Emaly. He put a 100-million-dollar bounty on Leo's head and offered a reward for dragging me back."Scared?"One afternoon, while I sat in the garden enjoying the sun, Leo handed me a glass of water. I shook my head and took the glass with my left hand."I'm not afraid of him. I just hate how stupid I used to be. Though I imagine things aren't going well for him right now."A cold smile curved my lips. Vito probably forgot who'd been managing the family's underground smuggling network all these years. All the secret shipping route

The car raced along winding mountain roads, leaving our pursuers far behind. The smell of blood hung faintly in the air.I turned to Leo. The bloodstain on his shoulder kept spreading."You're hurt."I tried to check his wound, but my cumbersome cast got in the way. Leo pressed my hand down gently. His face was pale, but his eyes burned bright."Flesh wound. Nothing serious. More importantly, welcome to my world, Gia."Eventually, we pulled up to a castle perched on a cliff edge. This was DeLuca territory, a place Vito could never touch.When I stepped out, my legs trembled and nearly gave out. Without hesitation, Leo bent and scooped me into his arms."Put me down. I can walk." I squirmed uncomfortably."Don't move." His voice came out soft but left no room for argument. "You're my prize. I get to decide how to handle you."Despite his possessive words, he angled his uninjured shoulder for me to lean against. Inside the entrance hall, a waiting medical team rushed forward.H

Beams from dozens of flashlights surrounded us instantly. Vito stood there in his tailored suit, a black Beretta in his hand. Behind him, dozens of armed Soldati fanned out.Giuliana stood at his side, her face twisted into a vicious grin. "I knew the Madre was up to something, sneaking around. It turns out she's here meeting her lover!"Vito ignored Giuliana's shrieking. His cold eyes locked onto me. "Come here."It was just two words, but they carried suffocating weight.Leo instinctively shifted to shield me. I raised my hand and lightly touched Leo's arm, signaling him to stay calm.Our interaction sent Vito over the edge. He raised his gun, the barrel aimed directly at Leo's forehead."Leo, you must have a death wish for touching what's mine."Leo showed no panic, only scorn. "Vito, she's not your prisoner. She has every right to choose who she leaves with.""You're dead!"Vito pulled back the slide. The air turned deadly."Gia, I'm only saying this once. Come here. Come

That sentence set Vito off completely. He lunged down, planting his hands on either side of me and trapping me in his shadow.He laughed coldly. "So what? You think that gives you the right to lecture me and meddle in my personal life?"Gia, don't overestimate yourself. Right now, you're just a do

When I woke again, it was deep into the night. The confinement room that held me was freezing. My wrist hung at an unnatural angle, limp and useless. The pain was unbearable.No one came to treat me.I remembered years ago when Vito took a bad hit during a shootout. I stayed at his bedside for t

To punish me, Vito replaced me with Giuliana at the Corti family's annual gala.She wore my custom gown, looking radiant under the chandeliers, while I sat alone in the corner like an outsider watching their absurd performance.Vito walked her around, introducing her to every guest. "This is Giuli

Late at night, my phone buzzed with a photo.Against a dim background, Giuliana was bare from the waist up, wearing nothing but a necklace around her throat. It was the diamond necklace Vito placed on me himself when he proposed. He told me it symbolized the Madre of the Corti family.Below the ph
