Heartbreak to Power: The Don's Chosen Chapter 9
Perhaps out of a sense of solidarity as women, I said these words with unusual calmness.Sofia was taken aback. She seemed about to say more, but I had already stood up and walked away.Her move proved quite effective. When I calmly brought it up over the phone, Matteo remained silent for a long time. He didn't even dare to explain it to me. But then again, he had always been like this.Before, I thought his stubbornness and lack of flexibility were shortcomings. But now, I found them rather convenient.Thus, my tone was uncharacteristically gentle. "I've already had someone send the divorce papers over again. Please sign them and return them as soon as possible."Seven days later, Marco contacted me. "Mr. Romano has signed the divorce papers, so the proceedings have officially begun."Ten days later, with the freshly finalized divorce papers in hand, I boarded a plane to Carrington with a light heart.In my groggy state, I seemed to hear Francesco's voice murmuring something ne

Matteo quickly pushed Sofia off him and straightened his wrinkled shirt. "Elena, let me explain. It's a misunderstanding. Sofia injured her leg, so I let her stay here for a few days. Just now, she got up too quickly while unpacking and…"The flush on Sofia's face hadn't yet faded. Her left leg was in a cast, yet her eyes brimmed with tears. "Mrs. Romano, I'm sorry. I—"Sofia, who was usually so quick to argue, suddenly seemed at a loss for words. In the silent room, only her soft sobs could be heard.I gave them a faint glance before turning and walking toward the master bedroom.Matteo followed closely behind me, his words tumbling out rapidly. "I originally planned to discuss it with you, but the situation was urgent. Besides, I didn't expect you'd be back so soon."Sofia will only stay for a month, and I've hired a caretaker to look after her daily needs. So, her staying here won't disturb us."When he saw me expressionlessly pour all the jewelry from the drawer into a bag, h

"Why are you getting so worked up? Isn't the divorce already being processed? Besides, I don't exactly make a habit of sending specially flown-in blue roses to dance performances, " I replied calmly."Haven't I already told you I see Sofia only as a sister? She never intended to ruin our marriage, unlike the man standing beside you. Does he even understand what boundaries mean? How can he hold you so casually?" Matteo fired back.Francesco remained unmoved. "How did you put up with living with someone so unreasonable for all those years?" he asked me calmly.Matteo's expression darkened, and his clenched fists trembled slightly as if he were restraining the urge to strike.I hardened my tone toward Matteo. "Not only are we childhood sweethearts, but he's also my best friend. So, how dare you speak of him that way? Apologize to him right now!"Matteo instantly lost his composure. "You want me to apologize to him?""Yes.""Elena, don't push it."Francesco took my hand and pulled

After our unpleasant parting, I never contacted Matteo again.The divorce proceedings had been progressing steadily, though the division of assets would require more time to finalize, given the substantial amount and complex interests involved.While I was busy enjoying my newfound freedom and living it up as a single woman, Matteo wasn't exactly sitting idle either. He successfully helped Sofia buy her way out of Club Ace and even arranged a small solo dance showcase for her.When I received the tickets Sofia had mailed me, I decided to attend this so-called solo performance. Not for any other reason than to witness just how far Matteo would go for her.On the stage was a sea of blue roses, freshly flown in for the occasion. It was the very same type of flower that had once adorned our wedding."I heard Mr. Romano had these flowers specially flown in from overseas, just to set a grand tone for Ms. Bianchi's entrance.""He's the epitome of romance.""But I also heard Mr. Romano

After walking out of the villa, I contacted the family lawyer, Marco Ricci, to begin the process of dividing our assets. I also arranged for someone to clean the clothes Sofia damaged and to compile a compensation list for her.Once everything was arranged, I tapped open my phone and sent a message."Tonight at Club Ace—we drink until we drop! Who's in? My treat, hurry over!"My friends instantly responded with excitement. We used to hang out all the time, but ever since I met Matteo, it had been years since we last gathered. Thus, they were understandably over the moon.Amid the excited reactions, a voice of reason chimed in, "Elena, don't you usually spend all your free time with Matteo? How do you have time to hang out with us today?"He had asked what everyone was wondering about."Doesn't Matteo hate it when you go out with us?"The heartfelt concern from my friends reached me one after another, filling my heart with warmth."We've already started the divorce proceedings,"

We stared at each other—neither of us showing any sign of softening—until my vision blurred with tears.Finally, Matteo said with a sigh, "After all these years by my side, I thought you'd have learned some empathy. Elena, you've truly disappointed me."His words struck like a sharp blade, plunging straight into my heart. The pain made my lashes tremble, and tears began to fall instantly.For Matteo, I had defied my Papa, Giovanni Russo, and the perfect match he had chosen for me. I gave up the chance to become the Don's wife of the Caruso family, the most powerful mafia clan in Solmark.Though I was born the Principessa of a mafia family, I learned to cook zuppa and run a household for Matteo, all while supporting his climb to the top.The most determined thing I had ever done in this life was choosing him without hesitation and reshaping my bold and fiery nature into the version that best suited him.Yet in the end, all I earned was his icy, heart-gutting disappointment.I ref
