Chapter 7

Author: Flowering Tree
The moment the words left my lips, Isabella was so terrified that she collapsed to her knees with a heavy thud.

Crying hysterically, she grabbed Matteo's calves. "I'm sorry, Don Rossini, but I had no choice. Enzo held a gun to my head, and I didn't want to die… I wanted to live!"

Matteo's expression was ghastly, but Isabella was far too gone to notice. She kept wailing, "Don't worry! I didn't reveal anything important, and everything I said was fake! It won't harm the Famiglia at all!"

    "Pull over," I coldly said. When Enzo compliantly pulled to the curb, Matteo immediately hopped off his Porsche and rushed over. After ripping my door open, he dragged me out by the arm. "Explain, Bianca! What the hell is this?"I slapped him hard in the face and snapped, "What right do you have to question me, Matteo?"The force of the slap was immense, and his cheek immediately reddened. As he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice shook. "Did you just slap me?""So? Is that a problem?" I said, shooting him a cold look. "Right now, you're just a Don whose Famiglia is about to collapse, while I'm the Principessa of the prestigious Valenti Famiglia. "A slap is nothing. I can even take your life without breaking a sweat."He froze and looked like he'd just remembered that those were almost the exact words he had said to me.The rage in his eyes dissipated a little, but when he caught sight of Enzo in the car, his expression remai

    That day, I left with Papa after saying those words. I wasn't sure if Matteo truly understood what I meant then, but three days later, I was certain he did.His Famiglia projects bottomed out as the Castellis drove them straight to the ground, and his arm deals were intercepted mid-transit. Even the Famiglia itself was thoroughly infiltrated. Spies and traitors were popping up faster than he could root them out.It turned out Isabella had leaked every scrap of the Famiglia's intel in a desperate bid to escape.For a time, endless chaos erupted with the Famiglia. Every day, Matteo was met with fresh reports of disaster that sent him into fits of blind rage in his office. As a man who had never smoked, he now burned through one cigar after another, suffocating under the weight of his overwhelming fury. But he had personally executed the culprit responsible for the disaster.My Underboss reported every detail of his decline to me, as if he thought it would please me. But even afte

She kept wailing, "Don't worry! I didn't reveal anything important, and everything I said was fake! It won't harm the Famiglia at all!""Enough!"Matteo's roar cut through her hysterics. His chest heaved violently, and his rage was palpable. It wasn't just him; every person in the room looked at Isabella with sheer disbelief.A heavy silence hung in the air for a full minute before Papa's cold, mocking chuckle finally broke it. He shook his head and said, "Just as I thought. Even if a fool becomes the Don, he'll never last."In the span of moments, Papa's insults seemed to shred Matteo over, but he couldn't fight back or throw

    Matteo whipped around as one of the guards couldn't help blurting out, "C-Could it really be the Donna's Padre?""Impossible," Isabella immediately snapped. "A man with his meager influence couldn't possibly breach the gates. I bet it's the Castellis!"Matteo's expression immediately darkened. He grabbed my chin and hissed through gritted teeth, "What exactly did you tell them to make them bold enough to storm Tenuta Ombra, Bianca?"I looked at him and could feel my heart completely freeze over. "Matteo, I'll say this one last time—I'm not the one who leaked your secrets."He faltered. "If it isn't you, who else could it be?"I let out a soft laugh and looked past him at Isabella, whose face had gone deathly pale. Fabio barked, "What are you implying? Ms. Ginevra's always been the Famiglia's most trusted asset; she'd never betray us!""Exactly! If it were her, the Castellis would've struck ages ago. Why would they wait until now?""Sounds like a thief crying thief to me!"Jus

    Matteo arrived just in time to hear my last words.His eyes fell on Isabella's swollen face, and his gaze immediately turned cold. "Bianca, do you realize the consequences of what you've done?""Consequences?"I let out a short laugh. "When my Padre gets here, you'll understand the consequences of locking me up."At the mention of Papa, Matteo looked at me like he'd just heard the funniest joke of the century. "Your Padre? Are you talking about the dairy merchant?"Bianca, I think you've lived in luxury for so long that you can't even tell what real power looks like anymore."I looked at their arrogant expressions and quietly announced, "My Padre is Vincenzo Valenti, Don of the Valenti Mafia Famiglia."The moment the words left my mouth, laughter broke out around me.Fabio couldn't help but chime in, "Vincenzo Valenti? Just because you share the last name doesn't mean you can claim him as your Padre!"Do you even know how he is? He's a man even Don Rossini has a hard time meet

    "Divorce?" Matteo frowned deeply. "We're talking about you betraying the Famiglia right now. Don't change the subject, and tell me how much you have revealed to the Castellis."I let out a self-mocking laugh. "I haven't told them a single thing."He impatiently rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "My patience has its limits, Bianca."Isabella soothingly patted his back. "Don Rossini, the Donna probably doesn't know many inside details anyway, so she couldn't have leaked anything important."If she refuses to confess, I'll find a way to extract the truth from the Castellis myself. Trust me."Matteo's expression eased slightly, but the way he looked at me was still cold. He called Fabio over. "Lock her up. No one lets her out without my permission."As Fabio strode toward me with a smug look, my first reaction wasn't anger. Instead, it was relief.This was the final nail in the coffin that killed any lingering feelings I had for Matteo."Don't bother. I'll go myself."Matt
