Chapter 2

I thought it was Lorenzo, rushing back from Sicily the moment he got the news. Instinctively, I called out in a soft, spoiled whine:

"Caro, it hurts..."

"If it hurts, maybe you'll learn your lesson. Know your place."

The cold voice snapped me back to reality instantly.

Standing by the bed wasn't the imposing man I expected, but Marco.

"Why are you here?" My face went cold. "The cops didn't lock you up?"

"Elena!"

Marco sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed and trying to take my hand.

"Stop making a scene. Do you have any idea how much Frank paid to bury this? Do you want all of New York laughing at our family?"

He switched to a look of deep concern.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Do you know how dangerous that was?"

I ripped my hand away from his.

"If you hadn't been screwing around in my house and then shoved me, would the baby be in danger?"

Marco’s eyes looked conflicted, as if he were weighing a decision.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't marry you."

He took a deep breath, his tone shifting to one of matter-of-fact entitlement.

"I know you love me. I know you renovated the house and got pregnant on purpose just to trap me. But I gave my word to my father that I'd marry Bella. The family needs a pure bloodline."

"But don't worry. Bella is kind; she'll tolerate you. You can be my comare (mistress). I'll set you up in an apartment in Brooklyn, and I'll come see you two days a week..."

I laughed out of sheer anger.

He actually thought I got pregnant to win him back? And he wants me to be his side piece?

"I refuse," I cut him off coldly.

"Why! Do you have to push me like this?!" Marco shouted, his shame turning into anger.

"If you're not with me, who else is going to want damaged goods like you? Especially with extra baggage?"

I grabbed the pregnancy report from the bedside table and smashed it into his face.

"Open your damn eyes and look! This baby has nothing to do with you!"

"And who I choose to marry has nothing to do with you either!"

"You want me to be your mistress? Keep dreaming!"

Marco held the report, stunned.

I sneered, "Three months. Marco, surely you haven't forgotten what happened three months ago?"

Hearing this, Marco’s face instantly went pale.

Three months ago was my birthday, the day he was supposed to propose.

I waited for him at a Michelin-starred restaurant for four solid hours.

All I got was a text: "Urgent business came up. I'll be late."

Finally, the restaurant closed, and I was kicked out into the pouring rain in a thin dress.

On the ride home, I scrolled past Bella’s Instagram.

"I told him I was scared of the thunder, so Marco bailed on a multi-million dollar deal just to keep me company."

The photo showed him feeding her soup, wearing the engagement ring I had picked out on his finger.

That night, in despair, I went to the family’s private club to drink my sorrows away.

Marco disappeared for the entire next day. When he finally came home, we had a massive blowout fight. He acted completely self-righteous: "She's your sister! She just got back and isn't adjusted yet. What's wrong with me taking care of her? Why are you so jealous?"

In the end, he took off the ring and threw it out the window.

"Since you feel that way, then let's just forget the wedding! If you hadn't taken Bella's spot, she was the one I was supposed to marry anyway!"

My heart died completely in that moment.

"Fine. I hope you get what you want. The engagement is off."

Marco paused as he was leaving, then said indifferently:

"Suit yourself."

That same day, Bella’s Instagram updated with photos from Paris.

Marco was holding her waist intimately, kissing her under the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower.

For three whole months, Marco was with her.

So how could the baby in my belly possibly be his?

"Three months..." Marco muttered to himself. Then his face turned from pale to red—the rage of humiliation.

Slap!

Another strike across my face.

"Elena, you slut! You slept with some random guy just to get back at me?!"

He grabbed my jaw in a death grip, his eyes murderous:

"If I had known you were carrying some bastard's spawn, I never would have brought you to the hospital!"

"Who is he?! Forget it, it doesn't matter! You're coming to the operating room with me right now. We're getting rid of this mistake!"

  • Dumped by My Ex, I Married His Mafia Don Father   Chapter 9

    Five years later. Sicily.This is the birthplace of the D'Angelo family, and now, it is our home.The afternoon sun spilled over the lawn of the three-hundred-year-old estate like liquid gold. The air was thick with the scent of lemon trees and olives.I lounged beneath a white parasol, holding a glass of chilled pomegranate juice.Time hadn’t left a single mark on my face; if anything, the nourishment of power and happiness made me look even more composed than I did five years ago."Leo! Stop picking on your sister!"Near the fountain, two angel-like children were playing.Five-year-old Leonardo had the same raven hair and deep blue eyes as Lorenzo. Even at his young age, he already radiated that natural, imposing authority.Right now, he was trying to splash water on his sister.Sofia, who had inherited my light brown hair, cleverly hid behind a stone pillar, giggling."Let them play."Lorenzo walked over, leaned down to kiss my cheek, and handed me a peeled grape."Luca just sent th

    Three months later, the best private hospital in Manhattan was surrounded by black-clad bodyguards.Lorenzo held my hand nervously, his palm sweating, his eyes glued to the ultrasound screen."Congratulations, Don. Congratulations, Madam."The elderly doctor adjusted his glasses, his face beaming with a sincere smile."Two strong heartbeats. It’s twins—a boy and a girl."On the screen, two tiny lives were curled up together.Lorenzo froze. I had never seen him make an expression like that.In traditional Italian Mafia families, mixed-gender twins were seen as a miracle, a symbol of prosperity and balance."Two..."Lorenzo muttered to himself, then suddenly stood up and leaned down to kiss me—a kiss that was passionate and trembling."Elena, you are the greatest gift God has ever given me."That afternoon, the entire New York underworld was shaken.With a wave of his hand, Lorenzo transferred three of the family’s private islands in the Mediterranean to my name as a reward for the "moth

    The silence in the grand hall was so absolute you could almost hear the champagne bubbles popping in the glasses.Every pair of eyes shifted from shock to naked disgust and revulsion.Bella froze in place, the microphone dropping from her hand and hitting the carpet with a dull thud.The mask of the victim she took such pride in had shattered completely."No... this is fake! It's Photoshopped! Elena framed me!"She screamed like a madwoman, trying to rush the stage to block the screen, but her legs were jelly, and she couldn't take a single step.However, the person reacting even more violently than her was Marco, standing right by her side.Marco stared dead at the medical report on the screen, his eyes nearly popping out of his skull.His face turned from ashen to a sickly green—the color of pure terror mixed with physical nausea.Three months ago.That timeline matched exactly when he had dumped me for Bella, the days they spent wildly hooking up under the Eiffel Tower.His hands sh

    Bella's stupidity went beyond anyone’s wildest imagination—it even crossed the line of Lorenzo’s tolerance.Three days after being kicked out of the penthouse, she gave an interview to a TV station known for digging up dirt.On camera, she looked haggard. She wore no makeup and cheap, worn-out clothes. Through tears, she accused "Mafia forces" of persecution, hinting that the D'Angelo family had not only illegally stripped her of her assets but had even issued death threats against her.She was playing with fire.Omertà—the code of silence—is the cornerstone upon which the underworld survives. Anyone who breaks it isn't just a traitor to the family; they become public enemy number one to the entire circle.Lorenzo watched Bella’s twisted face on the TV screen, his expression terrifyingly calm."She thinks this is a Hollywood movie, where playing the victim gets you justice."Lorenzo pressed the off button on the remote, and the screen went black instantly."But she forgot one thing.

    When I woke up again, I was back in the hospital. The last time I was here, I was nearly forced into an abortion. This time, the doctors and nurses who had laid hands on me were gone.The new doctor had clearly been briefed by Lorenzo; his attitude was incredibly friendly."Miss Elena, the fetus is fine. You just have some soft tissue contusions. You need bed rest."I sat up, instinctively touching my stomach. Thank God the baby was okay.My phone screen on the nightstand lit up. I picked it up to see countless push notifications.Although Bella's livestream had been cut off, screen recordings were spreading like wildfire online. In the video, I was painted as a vicious adopted daughter who would do anything to climb the social ladder—pregnant with a bastard child and attempting to murder her sister.The comment section was filled with vile abuse. Some people had even doxxed the gallery where I used to work, threatening to splash paint on it."Shameless homewrecker!""Die, you thief wh

    The rear door was yanked open by a hand clad in a black leather glove."Lorenzo..." I choked out, tears streaming down my face.Inside the van, the thug cursed, reaching for his gun."Shit, who the..."Thwip!There was no wasted breath.Lorenzo raised his hand, and his silenced Beretta made a muffled sound. A neat bullet hole appeared in the man's forehead, and his body slumped over, limp.The remaining thugs were terrified out of their minds, scrambling backward on their hands and knees."Don... Don Lorenzo?!"In this city, there wasn't a soul who didn't recognize that face.Lorenzo didn't even glance at the trash. He moved with infinite gentleness, lifting me out of the wreckage."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to Milan to choose your engagement gift."His deep voice resonated in my ear, trembling slightly.I gripped his lapel tightly, inhaling the familiar scent of cigars and amberwood on him. It was the scent of safety."Our baby...""I know."Lorenzo’s gaze swept over my abdomen
