Chapter 7

Autor: Flora Johnson
The entire Shadowbough network had now broken away from the Donato family and become an independent organization.

All Shadowbough operatives still under Leone's command were required to immediately suspend any assignments he had given them.

The loss of the Shadowbough intelligence network came at an enormous cost to the family.

Leone tried to build a new intelligence system from scratch, but it never came close to matching Shadowbough's former capabilities.

Alessandro's eyes were bloodshot w

    Leone flew back to the estate overnight.The first thing he did was summon Dante and order him to revoke every privilege Camilla had been granted, reclaim all the trust assets allocated to her, and revoke the authorization that allowed her to exercise the Donna's decision-making powers on his behalf.I heard that when the news reached Camilla, she was in her little villa, sorting through the jewelry Leone had given her.Furious, she snatched a necklace from the table and hurled it to the floor. She couldn't accept that everything she'd once possessed had vanished overnight.She called and messaged Leone incessantly, but he ignored every attempt to contact him.Eventually, Camilla went to the estate, only to be stopped at the entrance by Matteo.No matter how hard she tried, Leone refused to see her.All the comforts and privileges Camilla had enjoyed for years had depended entirely on Leone's protection. Without his favoritism, the monthly allowance the Donato family had provide

    "Isola."At the sound of Leone's voice, I turned around. Immediately, the smile on my face faded.My colleagues sensed the tension and asked if I wanted them to stay."No, it's okay." I handed my documents to another researcher on the team. "I'll be right back."Leone walked up to me and said, "I've come to take you back."I glanced at the car behind him. "Back where?""To our home. I'll transfer all my rights within the family to you, and the rumors surrounding the secretly recorded video have been cleared up. If you want to continue your research, I can build you a lab back at home."Leone spoke with absolute confidence. He had spent the flight drafting a compensation package—authority, shares, a trust fund, and an entire standalone research building. He thought these would be enough to prove how sincere he was.However, I simply asked, "You still think I left because I wanted more?"Leone faltered. "That's not what I meant."I looked at him calmly. "But all you've talked a

    The call finally connected.In the background, the sound of an unfamiliar public announcement could be heard.I didn't greet him by name. Instead, I simply asked, "Who is this?"Leone tightened his grip on the phone. "It's me."After a brief silence, I asked in an indifferent voice, "What do you want?"That calmness made Leone's chest tighten."I've cleared up the rumors, and I'll return Shadowbough to you as well. Drop the lawsuit and come back. We'll have the wedding again.""The agreement terminating our engagement is already in effect," I stated simply."I never agreed to it!""I don't need your permission for anything I do," I said, my voice perfectly even.For the first time, Leone realized that the authority he had always taken for granted no longer had any effect on me."If you want power, I can give it to you. I can transfer all my rights within the family into your name, and I'll take care of the trust fund issue too.""Leone, those aren't the things I want.""Th

"Don Donato, Signorina Munari took more than just an organization with her. She spent four years painstakingly building our intelligence network, source by source."It'll take us at least another four years to build a team that can rival Shadowbough. But our enemies aren't going to wait four years for us."Leone stood amid the chaos.For the first time, he realized that the intelligence network he took such pride in owning had never truly been held together by him.A news alert

    Leone dialed my number at 6:00 am, and an automated voice repeatedly informed him that the number he was trying to reach had been disconnected.He tried again using Alessandro's phone, but the result was the same.I didn't just block him. I even gave up the number I'd had for four years.Alessandro searched every hotel in Corvessia, the apartment complex where I used to live, and the homes of several of my friends. But no one had seen me.Only then did Leone remember that, years ago, I'd cut off contact with my old friends and family to be with him. He didn't even know which city my parents were living in now.At 9:00 am, he ordered his driver to take him to my former university.Professore Ferrante had just finished a meeting. When he saw Leone, his expression turned cold.Leone got straight to the point. "Where is Isola?""That's her private business." Professore Ferrante had no desire to entertain him. He gathered his documents and started walking away.Leone stepped in fro

  • Dumped for His First Love, I Choose Me   Chapter 5

    Camilla had been born with a congenital heart condition and had grown up alongside Leone. Even as a teenager, he had promised her that he would protect her for the rest of his life.Protecting her was a duty etched into his very bones, and he saw no contradiction between that duty and his love for me.His feelings for me were genuine. It was just that, whenever he had to weigh our needs against each other, Camilla's safety would always come first.He believed I should understand that the title of Donna and the right to live in a luxurious family estate were already the greatest privileges he could offer me.After setting his phone facedown on the table, Leone continued the meal with Camilla.As far as he was concerned, my so-called departure was nothing more than another way of forcing him to give in.In the four years we'd been together, I'd had my share of tantrums.The longest I'd ever stayed angry had been two days. In the end, I'd still waited outside the organization's hea
