Chapter 17

작가: Naomi Harlow
Back at Orleen Estate, the Soldati all pointed their guns at the man standing in the center.

Matteo's spine was straight, but at his feet, Lucia's makeup was ruined by tears. She no longer had the arrogance of a mafia Principessa.

"Matteo, what's the meaning of this?"

Domenico sat in the seat of honor, his authority palpable even without anger. "You led men to storm Lucy's bachelorette party and held a gun to her head, wanting to kill her. Do you think I have no power left?"

  • From Maid to Madre   Chapter 24

    Cold wind swept down with falling snowflakes. An old house on 13th Street had been completely rebuilt. The interior furnishings were fully restored, and even the old locust tree had been returned to its original place.This was Caio's birthday gift to her for the new year.Gianna knelt in front of the tombstone. "Grandma, I'm back. The home is still here, and so is the tree, but I can't stay here with you anymore. I'm going to live a new life. Don't worry. I'm not alone."She turned to look at the man behind her.Caio removed his black leather gloves, then stepped forward with his long legs and knelt solemnly on one knee beside Gianna.Hands accustomed to controlling life and death now gently touched the frozen earth, his posture reverent."Rosa, it's nice to meet you. I am Caio Pace."Please rest peacefully. The girl you treasured will from this day forward be the supreme law of the Pace famiglia."The man bowed his head slightly, his eyes deep as the sea, making a promise to

    A month later, the global underground power summit was held in the free port.This was a feast of power. Everyone who received an invitation was a mafia boss from various factions.Domenico and Isabella attended as representatives from Beller City.The two elders who had once been so powerful now had completely gray temples and haggard expressions.Since learning the truth, they had not had a single peaceful night of sleep. Their eyes constantly searched through the crowd, longing to see their daughter yet fearing her cold gaze."She's here!"Someone gasped quietly, and the entire venue instantly fell silent.A perfectly tailored suit outlined Caio's tall, upright figure. On his arm was a woman wearing an emerald green evening gown.She wore no excessive jewelry, only a simple pearl necklace at her throat, but it set off her cool and noble temperament. The confidence and composure radiating from her bones made her seem like a completely different person from before.Gianna att

    Matteo was sent to Saint Maria Hospital for treatment.Caio did not finish him off. He even allowed him to receive treatment at the hospital. To him, letting his rival barely survive on his own turf was an even greater humiliation.A few mornings later, the hospital room door was pushed open. Gianna wore a white coat with several medical interns following behind her as they walked in together.It was a routine round.Matteo saw her and struggled to sit up. Even though it pulled at his wounds painfully, he did not care."Gigi, you came to see me?"He thought her heart had softened, that she was remembering their past.After all, he was so severely injured. As a doctor and his former lover, how could she remain unmoved?"Recovery looks good."Gianna only glanced at his wounds, then instructed the interns. "Make note of the key points for treating penetrating injuries. Watch for post-surgical infection."After speaking, she turned to leave."Don't go!"Matteo recklessly pulled

    Matteo did not leave. He became a pest that would not go away, lurking relentlessly near Saint Maria Hospital.He was certain that it was Gianna. As long as she was alive, he would never let go!Matteo unleashed all his belated romantic pursuit here.He filled the hospital lobby with 999 red roses flown in from abroad, the card bearing humble words of love. He sent her meals and desserts in every variation and collected rare treasures and jewelry from around the world for her to choose from.Gianna did not refuse. Instead, she distributed everything appropriately.The roses went to young girls. The exquisite dishes were poured into bowls for stray cats and dogs. As for the jewelry, she donated it all to charity organizations without keeping a cent."She's just angry."After learning the truth, he consoled himself. "As long as I persist, as long as I show her my sincerity, her heart will soften and she'll forgive me. She used to be so soft-hearted..."That evening, Gianna walked

    Matteo seemed unable to comprehend those simple words. He stared blankly at Gianna, his eyes red-rimmed as tears fell without warning.It had been two years.Hundreds of days and nights of desperate searching, countless times waking from dreams to emptiness. He thought he would never see Gianna again in this lifetime, that he could only grow old alone while clutching those photos.Yet now, she sat right in front of him."Gigi..."Matteo stood and dropped to his knees, carrying all the regret and torment of the past two years.He crawled forward on his knees, trying to grab Gianna's hand, but the desk blocked his way.He could only grip the edge of the desk, looking up in humble supplication. "Gigi, it's me! Don't you recognize me anymore?"She looked at the man kneeling on the floor.The Underboss who once stood so high above her, whom she had looked up to throughout her youth, now groveled at her feet like a vagrant, stripped of all dignity.She felt no satisfaction from rev

    It was two years later.Time was the cruelest sculptor. It could smooth over scars or carve regrets even deeper.For Gianna, these two years had been a complete rebirth.With Caio's full support, she entered the free port's most prestigious medical school.The woman who once only knew how to endure and retreat, who lived dependent on Matteo, had become a rising star in the medical world.She possessed remarkable talent and determination, and combined with the unlimited resources Caio provided, she became an authority in internal medicine in just two years.For Matteo, these two years were a prolonged torture. He refused to believe Gianna was dead.That death certificate was locked in his safe, becoming a taboo he could not touch. He searched frantically, from the city to the surrounding areas, then abroad.In every city he visited, he would donate a library or hospital named after Gianna, as if by doing so he could accumulate merit and earn God's mercy just once. However, he fo

    After that argument, Gianna and Matteo fell into a cold war. He stopped visiting, and she refused to reach out first.Lately, in her dreams, she kept seeing a warm family that did not exist—doting parents with relatives gathered around them.This longing was like an addiction. It flared up during

    When Matteo left, Gianna was still pretending to sleep.She only opened her eyes after the engine noise faded at the end of the alley. She stared at the empty pillow beside her and reached out to touch the lingering warmth.For a year, she had lived like a mistress.At first, when she saw Matteo

    God had abandoned Gianna on 13th Street. The place was filled with heroin, gunfire, and the rotting stench of sewers. They also called it the slums.After her parents died in a shooting, her grandmother, Rosa Argento, raised her.Matteo was three years older than she was. When they first met, he w

    The tip was thrown at Gianna Rossi's feet just as the engagement party for the Gray Wolf famiglia's Principessa began.She bent down to pick up the crumpled bills, but her gaze kept drifting to Matteo Santoro in the center of the crowd. Her throat tightened with bitterness.Just this morning, they
