Chapter 4

Auteur: Sprouting Buds
The plane had just landed when my phone exploded with notifications and missed calls. At the same time, the cabin speaker came on again.

“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to your travel. As compensation, all affected passengers today will receive full refunds and additional reimbursement.”

The complaints and chatter inside the cabin died down instantly. Behind me, a few girls lowered their voices as they whispered to each other, excited.

  • Amidst the Rain in New York   Chapter 10

    As they were speaking, the Don of the Corleone family, an elderly man with silver-white hair but a sharp, commanding presence, walked over holding a glass of wine.“Dante, it’s been a long time,” he said in a booming voice. His gaze then shifted to me, carrying a brief moment of appraisal before softening into a polite smile. “And this must be your wife. As expected, she’s a truly beautiful and outstanding lady.”“Don Corleone,” Dante replied with a slight nod, “allow me to introduce my wife, Lena. Lena, this is Don Corleone.”“Don Corleone, it’s an honor,” I said politely.He nodded in approval. “Dante has good taste. Ms. Lena, I’ve heard you’ve been doing quite well with the Moretti family recently. You’re young, capable, and impressive.”I was surprised. I hadn’t expected my movements to have reached his attention.I glanced at Dante, who gave me a calm, reassuring look.“I’ve only done what I was supposed to do. You’re too kind,” I replied modestly.“Ha! Humility is a virtu

  • Amidst the Rain in New York   Chapter 9

    At a banquet hosted by the Anthony family, both the Moretti family and the Colonnetti family were present.An underboss from the Moretti family spotted me and remained as arrogant as ever. “Miss, the Don said to bring you over to meet him.”I ignored him and simply swirled the wine glass in my hand. With Dante backing me now, life had become much easier. I no longer had to live with constant exhaustion and dark circles under my eyes.The underboss had been used to barking orders at me. Ever since I was young, he never truly treated me as the Don’s daughter. So, he stepped forward, intending to grab my arm.“So what, you got married, and now you’re acting all proud? Don’t forget who fed you when you were a kid.”“Is that so? I guess I really do see something new every day. A small-time underboss from New York thinks he can lay his hands on my wife in Chicago?”Dante’s voice was sharp. At the same time, his large hand instinctively slid around my waist.“This is the Anthony family

    I finally let out a breath of relief.At ten o’clock that night, I returned to the estate. Dante was sitting under the warm glow of the lights, waiting for me. The sight of him softened something in my chest.I walked over before I could stop myself and wrapped my arms around his solid back. Only when I had held him enough did I let go and regain my composure.“Why are you back so late? Are you tired? I made you some spaghetti.”I swallowed the words I had been about to say. He took my hand and led me to the table, watching as I finished the spaghetti he had prepared.“When are you going to try relying on me more? Don’t push yourself so hard.”I looked up at him, the warm light catching his serious expression, and guilt overcame me.“My five-year agreement is up. I should go back to where I originally belonged, don’t I?”Dante didn’t look surprised. It was as if he had already expected I hadn’t truly let go of my plans.“You like the Moretti family?” From what I know, your unc

    Dante’s residence was characterized by sharp, clean lines, with sleek and minimalist furniture. Yet, the corners are dotted with colorful soft furnishings that were clearly recent additions. Strangely enough, they didn’t look out of place. Instead, they softened the entire space, making it feel less rigid and intimidating.Once I was seated on the sofa, I handed him a paper.“This is my plan. Please take a look. I’d like to borrow a sum of money from you, and I will repay it in installments.”He took the paper from my hands and skimmed it briefly.“You’re short on money?”To say I wasn’t embarrassed would be a lie. To the Anthony family, the daughter of the Moretti family showing up empty-handed to marry into the Don of the Anthony family’s household was practically an insult.Before boarding the plane, I had done my research. With the Anthony family’s status, they had long become an independent power. They were no longer reliant on alliances, resources, or political marriages. P

    I didn’t respond. I simply turned and boarded the plane. A flight attendant quietly placed a set of clean clothes beside me and pointed toward the washroom at the back of the aircraft, lowering her voice.“You can freshen up over there. You might catch a cold if you stay wet.”The interior of the plane was exquisite. It was unmistakably a private jet belonging to the Anthony family. Not only was there a restroom onboard, but there was even a bedroom. Strangely, the bedding was in warm tones and soft to the touch. It didn’t look like something Dante Anthony would normally prefer.Inside the bathroom, I changed into the prepared clothes and was slightly taken aback again. The outfit matched my size perfectly. When I stepped out, the consigliere immediately signaled for the bodyguards in the cabin to move to the rear.“Hi, is this aircraft usually used by Don Dante Anthony?”The consigliere seemed to notice my confusion.“This plane was arranged by the Don. Everything inside was des

    “Didn’t Victor have a childhood sweetheart he was supposed to marry? Why is he choosing another woman as his fiancée?”“The other woman is younger.” Then, she changed her tone, a hint of disdain slipping in.“Honestly, it doesn’t make much difference. So what if she’s young? She’s not even as pretty as Victor’s childhood sweetheart.”I let out an awkward cough, causing both of them to turn around at the same time.They didn’t recognize me. Instead, the girl raised her voice, getting bolder as she spoke.“If you ask me, maybe one day Victor will come to his senses and realize I’m better. I’m the jewel of my family, after all.”I had no habit of eavesdropping, so I stood up to pay my bill. As I walked past their table, the girl who had just been laughing so freely finally saw my face. She pointed at me, stunned, unable to speak.“What’s wrong? Do you know her?” the other girl asked until she saw my face. “She’s beautiful.”“Aren’t you…”Her gaze flicked toward the black-clad b
