Girl Power

My studio's website receives an appraisal order worth 450 thousand dollars all of a sudden. The original poster of the order claims that this is a pre-wedding gift her fiance has gotten her. The comment section goes wild instantly. "If the appraisal fee alone is already 450 thousand dollars, does this mean the painting is worth 100 million dollars? Your husband really is generous to you!" "I'm so envious of you! You really are lucky to be able to marry such a rich man!" The poster quickly replies, "Luck has nothing to do with this. I fought for this fate with everything I had. I'll be frank with you; back then, my fiance still had a girlfriend. But everything I want in life will eventually be mine. "So, I slandered his girlfriend and pretended to be aggrieved just so my fiance's heart would go out to me. As time went on, his love for his girlfriend faded away. "In the end, all I have to do is lift a finger, and the girlfriend got her limbs crushed. After that, she got discarded like garbage." The Internet users post their replies of disbelief. There's no way someone will hurt their ex-girlfriend to this degree, after all. They all think that the original poster is being excessively dramatic. Someone even berates her for throwing a wrench into a relationship. Not only does she not feel ashamed, but she also finds it an extremely proud thing to have done. Even my assistant, Chiara Belmonte, tells me that this client seems like a nutjob and suggests that I decline this order. I don't say anything. Instead, I just tap "confirm". After all, what the poster said is the truth. The ex-girlfriend that she has described in her post is me.

Confronted by the skepticism of netizens, the poster evidently got triggered and uploaded a photo of a ginormous diamond ring. "So what if I'm a homewrecker? A little bit of whining gets me things you peasants couldn't afford even if you broke your back for a lifetime!"When a netizen asked if she wasn't afraid of drawing a police investigation by being so high-profile, she remained utterly unfazed. "How could you commoners possibly understand the world of the wealthy? In our world, nothing is impossible. If you want to uphold justice, go ahead and be my guest."Chiara Belmonte, my assistant, could no longer sit still when she read that. "She's way too cocky. At the end of the day, isn't she just a homewrecker? Let's pass on this gig, Sera. 450 thousand dollars is a lot of money, but I get the feeling this client is going to be a total nightmare to deal with." I, Sera D'Angelo, smiled and shook my head. "We appraise paintings, not people." Just then, the phone rang, and a familia

From then on, Aria began appearing frequently at events related to the Leone famiglia. Sometimes it was a charity auction; other times, it was an exclusive dinner at the harbor warehouses. Logically speaking, with her famiglia's status, she had absolutely no business being in those places. Yet, she always found a way. Sometimes she would show up as a plus-one for the scion of another famiglia, and other times she would be delivering confidential documents on someone's behalf. Like a needle, she threaded herself into the tightest seams of the Leone famiglia. Strangely, she didn't make a single move on Federico. On the contrary, she gifted me rare art anthologies, chatted with me about the Valrosa gallery and stolen famous paintings, and would smile as she praised my work, telling me my paintings had a unique spark and that I would surely make a name for myself one day. Aria had worn her heart on her sleeve to the point that I had once believed she truly loved art and truly wanted

This incident drove a wedge between Federico and me. He kept investigating the cause of the failed deal that day, and although he found no concrete evidence linking me to the leak, he quietly changed the passcode to his study, and he never brought up anything related to the famiglia with me again. There were even times when he no longer took me along as his exclusive plus-one to banquets. To make matters worse, a rumor had leaked through the grapevine, leading the entire famiglia to believe I was the turncoat. When the Capo walked past me, he'd deliberately bump my shoulder and sneer, "A loyal father actually fathered a traitorous daughter. How ridiculous."I felt incredibly wronged, but when I turned around, I spotted Federico standing not far off, quietly observing the scene. He merely gazed at me for a couple of seconds before turning around and silently vanishing down the hallway. Back then, I was far too proud to stomach that kind of humiliation. Consequently, I went straight

"Give it back to me, Aria!" I reached out to snatch it back, but she deliberately tore the acceptance letter into shreds right in front of my eyes. At long last, I snapped. I lunged forward and slapped her hard across the face. But she wasn't upset. Instead, she slowly turned her head back around and smiled at someone behind me. I went rigid. Slowly, I followed the direction of her gaze. Federico was standing at the entrance. There was no telling how long he had been there. His expression was terrifyingly dark as his gaze swept across the shredded paper on the floor before finally settling on my face. I parted my lips, but my throat felt unbearably tight. "She was the one who—""That's enough!" he cut me off coldly. He didn't ask what that piece of paper was, nor did he ask why she was in my room. He merely spared me a single glance before calling his soldatos over. "Lock her in the disciplinary chamber." I stood frozen in place, staring at him in utter disbelief. There we

In the blink of an eye, a group of bodyguards surrounded our car. Chiara was shaking like a leaf, turning to face me. "What on earth is going on, Sera?"I didn't answer. I merely gave her shoulder a reassuring pat and silently pushed the car door open. The moment they saw my face, the bodyguards took a collective step back and turned to Federico in unison. Even his pupils trembled slightly, and the usually composed man now scowled. I was the only one who was surprisingly calm.He shot a cold look at the bodyguards, who scattered in an instant, leaving just the two of us at the gates. "Sera, did I or did I not tell you to vanish from this world entirely?" I chuckled. "Of course, you did."I glanced at the painting inside the trunk of the car. "Which is why I sent my assistant to pick up the painting. Had you not stopped my car, I wouldn't have been forced to show myself."Federico's forehead creased, as if he found the current me completely unrecognizable. The old me had always

Third-Person POVLong after Sera's car had vanished from sight, Federico remained rooted to the spot. Back when he was choosing a gift, he had intended to bid on an expensive painting at an auction, but Aria had specifically requested this one. He hadn't questioned it and just given it to her. But why was she getting it authenticated now? Did she not plan on keeping it? Federico was skeptical by nature. Hence, he couldn't help but speculate, though his doubts were soon eclipsed by another thought—Sera.He never imagined their paths would cross again, let alone that she would look far better off than she had while living under the Leone residenza. The spoiled, petulant young lady was gone. Now, she conducted herself with effortless grace, without a single trace of insecurity left in her eyes. Sera was a far cry from the woman who had once been on her knees in front of them, weeping helplessly. His chest tightened sharply. Just then, his bodyguards from earlier stepped up again

Sera's POVWhen I returned to my studio, I found a man sitting at the desk with his back to me. I chuckled. "Marino, to what do I owe the pleasure?"Marino Vitale slowly spun his chair around, his deep, sapphire-blue eyes lifting to meet mine with a slight crinkle. He cast a glance at Chiara, who was behind me, and she immediately excused herself and left. "I heard you just scored a huge deal." I nodded and slapped the 750-thousand-dollar check against his chest. "So, what, are you here to get your cut?" Marino smiled as he took the check and casually tossed it aside as if it were a mere napkin. "I'm hardly strapped for cash." He stepped forward and slowly wrapped his arms around my waist. "Babe, how much longer do we have to keep up this little charade?" As soon as his words fell, I spun around and hooked my arms around his neck, capturing his lips with mine. I sat on the desk as his kisses traced a fiery path from the corner of my lips all the way down to my neck. During th

Third-Person POV Every last drop of color drained from Federico's face. He had spent the entire drive here thinking about how to explain himself, how to apologize, and how to repair his relationship with Sera. He had even mapped out a solution for his famiglia. As long as Sera agreed, he could bring her right back to the Leone residenza. However, it had never even crossed his mind that another man would already be standing by Sera's side.He even recognized the man. Marino was also a Don, with considerable power and influence. In fact, the two of them had frequently crossed paths over the years. To think that this man had been hiding his woman right under his nose. Federico's blood boiled as he dwelled on that thought. Part of him wanted to storm upstairs right now and shoot him dead. However, he couldn't. So, he called his soldato and ordered a full investigation into the Vitale famiglia, specifically targeting Don Marino.Then, he waited until Marino's car had finally dri

Sera's POVSilence settled over the room once again. I walked over to the window and lit a cigarette, watching Federico sit in his car. He made no move to leave for a very long time. After finishing the last drag, I drew the curtains shut, shutting him out of my mind completely. As sudden as it was, he had cleared the air just in time. At the very least, our wedding wouldn't have to be kept so low-key anymore. Federico proved nothing if not efficient. The very next day, every single one of my frozen bank accounts had been reactivated. I received another package in the mail, which contained my passport and identification documents. There were also many letters I had written to Federico when I was a child. Back then, I still called him Fed in those letters. At the time, I had regarded him as my most precious family member. I had no idea what he hoped to accomplish by mailing them to me, yet I couldn't bring myself to throw them away because those pages contained Dad's name and

Given the stellar reputation I had already established in our circles, the public trusted my judgment implicitly. In an instant, the buyers erupted in outrage, as the least expensive of those paintings was worth millions of dollars. These collectors were all influential figures who had purchased the works out of trust in the Leone famiglia. To discover they had been swindled was an unforgivable betrayal. To be fair, plenty of mafia syndicates dabbled in the exact same trade, but the Leone famiglia was the first to ever be exposed. After hearing the news, countless partners canceled their cooperation with the Leone famiglia, and the Leones went ahead and directly impeached Federico from his position as Don. When our paths crossed again, it was late evening. He looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot. The moment he caught sight of me, his voice trembled uncontrollably. "Why? Why did you expose me? Those paintings were all replicated by your father! If he were alive to see you destroy hi
