MasukIt is said that Marco Colombo, the heir of the Colombo family of Chiron, is holding a wedding for his mistress, Gina Bilotti, today. The scale is ten times grander than when he marries Isabella Pratico in a political union. I lean against the ebony railing on the second floor. Sipping my red wine, I watch the lively scene of clinking glasses and mingling guests below with quiet amusement. Gina is definitely favored—she is even wearing a ruby necklace. One should know that set of ruby jewelry is an heirloom of the Colombo family. It is something only the Donna and the wife of the heir are allowed to wear. "You must be Isabella, the one Marco who does not love." A voice suddenly comes from beside me. I turn my head and see the woman wearing the ruby necklace before me. Gina has come up to the second floor at some point and is now looking at me with a cunning smile on her face. I freeze for a moment, not yet able to respond. She suddenly grabs my hand and yanks it hard toward herself. There is a sharp tearing sound, and the hem of her wedding dress rips open with a long tear. Gina lets out a cry, and tears immediately stream down her face. "Mrs. Colombo, why did you tear my wedding dress? Marco specially commissioned this from an independent designer just for our wedding! "If you really cannot tolerate my presence, then I will break up with Marco today and leave Chiron…" The surrounding guests all lift their heads and glare at me angrily. I am stunned because I am not Isabella. I am the new wife of Marco's father, the woman of the current Don, and the Donna of the Colombo family.

"So, you are Antonio's new wife? Young and beautiful, I see. But a woman like you should be at home, drinking coffee, not involved in this kind of business."I smiled faintly, but my gaze remained cold. "Don Sollozzo, my husband often says you're a smart man. But I think your actions this time weren't too bright."Acario raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Please, enlighten me.""You intercepted our shipment just to test our response. Now you've seen it. We're responding strongly."I gestured to the tense standoff around us. "Do you really think a fight would benefit you? A lose-lose situation only lets the other families profit."Acario fell silent, clearly mulling over my words.I added, "And this shipment may be a small deal for you, but if it disrupts the balance between the Colombo and Sollozzo families, it won't stay small f
Three days later, I received the news that Michele and Gina had been in a car accident on their way out of Chiron. Michele died on the spot, and Gina was seriously injured and hospitalized.No one knew whether it was an accident or foul play, and no one dared to investigate.All I knew was that after that, no one in Chiron dared to speak Gina's name again.As for Marco, he started treating Isabella much better, just as I had requested.There was no love between them, but at least he showed her the respect she deserved.Isabella's life improved, and color returned to her cheeks.As for me, after this incident, Antonio no longer kept me locked away at home.He began taking me to public events, allowing me to appear before the world as the Donna of the Colombo family.Everyone in Chiron's underworld knew now that I was not someone to mess with. No one dared to provoke me anymore.That afternoon, I was in the study, going over the Colombo family's business distribution map, when A
The next morning, the news spread through Chiron's underworld like wildfire.Donna Colombo had been beaten by Marco's lover. He was called in for a scolding by Don Colombo, and the lover and her brother disappeared from Chiron.It didn't take long for the entire city to be buzzing about it.Some said I was ruthless, and others claimed I was just making a show of asserting my power.There were also those who said that I was just a lucky woman who married the right man.No matter how they spun it, one thing was clear—from this day on, no one would dare to mess with me.It was 10:00 am. I was sipping coffee in the garden when the helper informed me that Isabella had arrived.I froze for a second before asking the helper to let her in.Isabella was even thinner than I expected. Her face was pale, with dark circles under her eyes. She wore a plain dress with no jewelry, looking like a flower about to wither.Standing before me, she said softly, "Donna Colombo, I came to thank you."
Antonio kept his gaze fixed on me. A faint glint of approval flashed in his eyes.He waved dismissively. "Alright. Get out of here. Remember what Susanna said."Marco practically scrambled out of the room, as if escaping a death sentence.With that, only Antonio and I remained in the living room."You're not going to punish Marco?" he asked.I replied calmly, "He's your son and the heir of the family. Punishing him too harshly wouldn't benefit you. Besides, the stripper and her brother are the real culprits. Marco's just a fool who can't keep it in his pants."Smiling, Antonio reached out to brush his hand through my hair. "You're smarter than I thought.""I've always been smart," I replied, rolling my eyes. "You just never gave me the chance to show it."He burst into a fit of laughter. The sound echoed through the living room, cutting through the suffocating tension.He led me to the couch and poured me a cup of warm water."Does your wound still hurt? What did the doctor s
Blood flowed into my eyes, blurring my vision into a dark red haze."Mrs. Colombo, why are you being so stubborn?"Gina stepped closer, stopping right in front of me. She looked down at the blood dripping from my forehead and sneered."You really think you're still the wife of the Colombo family'
Two Soldati lunged at me like hungry wolves the moment they heard Michele's command.I grabbed a wine glass from the table and smashed it over their heads."No one moves!" I coldly scanned the room."If you touch even a hair on my head today, next year this day will be your death anniversary."A
Dressed in a black leather biker jacket, the man strode confidently into the hall. His pistol holster gleamed under the light.Gina's eyes lit up. She shoved the helper holding her away and scrambled toward him. "Michele!"She threw herself into her brother Michele Bilotti's arms, crying hysterica
"You bitch! Gina is Marco's favorite, and you have the nerve to tear up her dress in front of everyone?"A man in a green suit, as round as a barrel, charged at me. He jabbed his finger at my nose, spitting with every word he spoke.I rolled my eyes.When Don Antonio Colombo married me, the famil
