At my engagement party to Matthew, the Don of the Gambino family, he said he had business to handle. Two hours later, he still wasn't back. I went to look for him. Around the corner of the hallway, his men were whispering in Sicilian dialect. "Poor thing. The future Donna has no idea Don's been screwing Ruth." "The Don's out of his mind. Can't even keep it together on his engagement night." Ruth Martin. His childhood friend. His business partner. I stood there, frozen. Then I walked back to the ballroom. A while later, Matthew pushed through the door. One button missing from his shirt. Sweat on his forehead. Someone clapped his shoulder, asked in Sicilian. "Ha! So? How was it with Ruth? Fucking intense, right? You're a madman." Matthew laughed and answered. "Of course. Couldn't get enough." What Matthew didn't know—I used to be Sicilian. I understood every word. What he also didn't know—I was about to tell him I was carrying his child. I took a sip of my juice. Didn't call him out. Instead, I pulled out my phone and opened the confirmation from the lab in Paris. Hit Confirm. Seven days from now, I'd be on a flight to Paris. Gone from his world for good.

Farewell, My Don Chapter 8
Seven months later.On the outskirts of Paris, a medical research center ringed by high walls and electronic fencing.I'd just stepped out of the sterile lab, still in my white coat, when my phone buzzed. A message from my mentor: Core research team meeting at three. An important donor will be present.I replied "Got it," pocketed the phone, and kept sorting through the day's experimental data.At 2:55, I walked into the conference room with my coffee, found a seat in the back corner. The main screen displayed a remote feed—the donor wasn't attending in person. Just video.And then I saw his face.Matthew Gambino.He looked thinner. Cheekbones sharper, eyes hollowed out, his suit hanging loose off his shoulders. But those dark green eyes, sweeping across the screen, were exactly the same as I remembered.Applause filled the room. The director stood at the podium, warmly introducing the "philanthropist"—six months of effort, billions of dollars, nearly half his family's assets, all pour
Farewell, My Don Chapter 7
Matthew's POVAfter taking care of Ruth, Matthew mobilized every resource the Gambino family had to find Sarah. FBI informants. The entire East Coast intelligence network. Federal government contacts. All of it.But nothing turned up.No exit records. No bank statements. Every credit card in her name sat dormant. Her social media accounts hadn't been updated since the engagement night. It was like she'd been wiped from a higher-dimensional system—clean, no trace, no residue."Impossible." Matthew sat in his study, stacks of useless reports spread before him. The bandage was still wrapped around his hand—the cuts from the shattered glass had barely scabbed over. "A living person can't just vanish into thin air."He'd been in that room for two days. Empty coffee cups piled on the desk, refilled and gone cold, not a single sip taken. Outside the window, New York's sky had turned gray three times and black three times. He hadn't drawn the curtains. He hadn't turned on a light.He pressed h
Farewell, My Don Chapter 6
Matthew's POVMatthew stormed into Ruth's apartment. The rain was still coming down.Ruth pulled the door open. When she saw him, a wild flash of joy lit up her eyes. She was still lost in the fantasy of becoming the next Donna. "Matthew, are you here to take me home? I knew you—"Before she could finish, a slap cracked across her face. She slammed into the doorframe, her cheek swelling instantly.Matthew stepped inside, soaked through with rain and cold. He didn't turn on the lights. Just stood in the shadow of the entryway, those green eyes colder than the night outside.Ruth clutched her face, braced herself against the wall, her voice shaking. "Matthew, what the hell are you—""What the fuck gave you the nerve to send her those photos?"Ruth's pupils shrank. But she swallowed her panic fast. "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything. Did Sarah misunderstand something—""Misunderstand?" Matthew pulled the plastic bag from his pocket and threw it at her feet. The screen glowe
Farewell, My Don Chapter 5
Matthew's POVAfter Ruth's prenatal checkup, Matthew ran into Sarah's cousin, Barbara. She'd just flown in from London and hadn't told Sarah yet."Congratulations. Heard you two got engaged." Barbara smiled and handed him a glass. "My sister takes relationships seriously. Always has."Matthew nodded, returned a polite smile."But she's got one flaw." Barbara took a sip, casual. "She hates lies. Hates betrayal. Cross that line, and she'll walk out on you."Matthew's smile froze for a split second. He raised his glass and said nothing.Barbara seemed to remember something, set her glass down. "I've been meaning to ask—where are you from? Your accent sounds familiar."Matthew threw out the name of a small Sicilian town.Barbara's eyes lit up. She slapped the table. "No way! My sister and I grew up there."She pulled out her phone, scrolled to an old faded photo, and handed it over. Two little girls squatting in front of a stone house. The family crest on the gate in the background—Matthew
