For seven years, I had been the secret of Enzo Gallo, the new Don of the Gallo family. When I went to register our son Lucas's birth, I discovered Enzo had already married his sister-in-law, Camilla, and claimed her child as his own. Her child became the heir to the family, with all the privileges that entailed. My child became a shameful bastard. Years ago, after Enzo's brother died, the family elders gave Enzo one condition to become Don: he had to have an heir with his sister-in-law to secure the Gallo bloodline. That night, Enzo held me close and swore I was his only true wife. He promised that once Camilla gave birth, he would give me the wedding I deserved. But he missed Lucas's birthday the day Camilla went into labor. Instead of the wedding he promised me, all I got was the news of his marriage to his sister-in-law. My son gently wiped away my tears with his small hand: "Mamma, don't be sad. I changed my birthday wish. I don't want a Papa anymore." "I don't care about being an heir. Having you is enough." I pulled Lucas into my arms, swallowing the bitterness that rose in my throat. "Who says you aren't an heir? Baby, Mamma is taking you home. To our family." What Enzo doesn't know is that I am the only daughter of the most powerful Mafia family in Sicily. I never cared about being the Donna of the Gallo family.

I had spent seven years turning myself into the secret blade at Enzo's back.And with one night, he had shattered that blade completely, leaving my dignity in pieces on the floor.That was fine.At least now, as the "Princess of the Valenti family," I could show him the door with a measure of dignity."Come in, Don Gallo."Enzo stood behind me, his eyes wide with shock as he took in the ancient castle perched on a cliff, fortified with heavy weaponry.But he didn't ask any questions, just followed me in silence.In the receiving room, a servant brought him an espresso."Two sugars, no milk."The servant's movements were precise, as if rehearsed countless times.Enzo stared at the coffee, his voice hoarse, his gaze sweeping over the original Renaissance masterpieces on the walls."Aurora, what is all this..."I smiled but didn't explain, simply leaning back elegantly into the velvet sofa. "Since you followed me all the way here, I assume you saw the resignation letter and the note."I

That night, Enzo sat on the floor of his study until dawn.The room reeked of alcohol and nicotine. It was the first time he had ever been such a wreck.Before, no matter how much blood he spilled outside, a light would always be on for him when he opened this door.There was always a woman who would silently hand him a glass of warm honey water and stitch up his wounds when he came home covered in blood.Now, there was nothing.The vast estate felt like a tomb, leaving him alone in the home he had ruined, waiting for a dawn that would never come.The next morning, without even changing out of his wrinkled suit, Enzo stormed into the medical center.He pushed open the door to that familiar office. It was blindingly clean.All traces of Aurora had been erased.No spare surgical scrubs, no drawings from Lucas, not even the potted plant he'd complained took up too much space.Only the wastebasket beside the desk seemed out of place.With a trembling hand, Enzo picked out two crumpled ball

When the banquet finally ended, Enzo practically fled the theater of mockery and power plays.The loft apartment of the estate was now deathly silent.Numbed by alcohol, Enzo stumbled through the door, loosening his tie out of habit."Aurora, water."The only response was the howling of the wind outside.Enzo frowned, his vision blurred by drink, and looked up at the empty living room.Only then did it hit him. She had left with their son yesterday.He let out a derisive snort and staggered into the kitchen.He pulled a bottle of ice-cold water from the fridge. As he closed the door, his gaze froze on it.It was covered in drawings of all sizes, all Lucas's masterpieces.There were lopsided guns, pirate ships with skulls, and mostly, his favorite superheroes.Looking at these drawings he usually found childish, Enzo couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.And... a family portrait with only two people.Only a mother and her son.Without him.Staring at the drawing, Enzo's heart clench

The image of Aurora and his son walking away, their backs determined, flashed in his mind, and Enzo's heart hammered in his chest.Maybe... he should stop this absurd plan.Maybe, without the woman who always stood calmly behind him, the throne felt cold and empty.Maybe...Seven in the evening, the coalition banquet for Chicago's Five Families.This was the stage the Gallo family had built to announce the impending arrival of their "heir."He hadn't seen Aurora all day. Enzo held his whiskey, his mind elsewhere.Had he gone too far this time?Once the thought surfaced, he couldn't suppress it.Enzo pressed his lips together and downed the rest of his drink in one gulp.He pulled out his encrypted phone, about to send a message to Aurora, when the eldest son of the Torrino family approached him."Don Gallo, congratulations. A new addition to the Gallo family. At last.""I hear you paid a steep price for this so-called 'pure bloodline.'"Enzo stiffened, immediately pushing his other tho
