I Gave the Don His Second Child, Then I Walked Away Chapter 10
When the Voss family sent someone to ask Mom to return to the estate and care for the children, I was upstairs reading.Hugo was so deferential that he was practically groveling. Whenever he spoke to Mom, he seemed to make himself smaller without even realizing it.He was a longtime member of the estate staff and had only ever behaved that way around its true masters.Half an hour later, Mom saw Hugo out and came upstairs to find me."Hugo says the Don wants me to come back and take care of the children."As their grandmother."I hesitated for a moment, then nodded."That's good. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the kids anyway. With you there, I can stop worrying."Mom looked at me, worry filling her face."But what about you?"I closed the book and answered evenly."Once you're back, mention me to Elias now and then. Tell him how much I used to love him."When his guilt over me reaches its peak, I'll show myself. Only then can I use that guilt to reclaim my place as their mother."M

When Elias went to see the children, Felix asked him in a small voice."Daddy, why won't they let me see Mommy?"Elias answered in a strained voice."Because she isn't your real mommy."Felix's eyes went wide."Then who's my real mommy? Doesn't she want me?"Elias froze where he stood, not knowing how to begin.What could he say?Tell him about the screaming on the day she gave birth, and the trail of blood on the floor where she'd been dragged away?Or about everything she'd gone through in the years after, just to catch one glimpse of him?He didn't dare tell his son."No. She loved you so much. She tried every way she could to see you."It's my fault. I wouldn't let her see you."Felix looked at him, confused."Why?"Elias's voice was hoarse."Because I'm an idiot. I did something wrong."Felix asked another question."Then where's Mommy now?"Elias was quiet for a long time before he managed a strained smile."She's mad at me, so she went somewhere I can't find her."Felix nodded a

Marco looked grim as he brought Elias a new report."Don, I confirmed it. That day, the Donna secretly ordered everyone on the estate to withhold food and water from Flora until she starved to death."Elias gave Marco a sharp look."Are you sure?"Marco lowered his head."I'm sure. Hugo and the Donna's maid both admitted it."Elias closed his eyes, hiding every trace of emotion."Bring Vivian to me."The moment Vivian saw Elias, she burst into tears. Looking fragile and pitiful, she tried to throw her arms around him.But Elias coldly pushed her away.Vivian stared at him in disbelief."Elias, are you still angry?"I'm the Donna of the Voss family, your lawful wife. Have you forgotten everything we've been through?"I risked my life for you. I took a bullet for you! And now you're going to blame me for some lowly maid?!"Elias took a deep breath."She wasn't some lowly maid. She was Felix and Caterina's mother, and she was—"Vivian cut him off, her voice rising to a shriek."She was wh

When Mom saw me, her face lit up in surprise and joy. Then she noticed how pale I was, and she couldn't stop crying."Flora? Is it really you, Flora?"My own eyes burned with tears. I threw myself into Mom's arms, and we held each other tight."It's me, Mom. I'm home!"A long time passed before Mom's sobs finally subsided. She cupped my face and asked softly."How did you get here? Did the Don finally let you go?"At that, Mom's voice caught again."It's all my fault. If I'd never gone to work at the Voss estate in the first place, you'd never have gone through any of this."Watching them take your children, watching the Donna go after you, it broke my heart. But I was just a servant. I couldn't do anything for you."And I know the only reason you never left the Voss estate was me."I'm sorry, Flora. I'm so sorry..."I gently wiped away Mom's tears."Don't cry, Mom. I've never blamed you."This is all their fault. I'm going to make them pay!"Mom's eyes went wide."But they're the Don

Vivian stared blankly at Elias."You're the Don of the Voss family. How can you say something so beneath you?"Elias glared at her."And what about you? You're the Donna of the Voss family. Why was Flora the one person you couldn't tolerate?!"Vivian's eyes went wide."You think I did this?"Elias's voice was cold."The Voss estate went 100 years without a single major fire, yet that shed burned down right after you had its door nailed shut."Even your excuse for nailing it shut was based on a fabricated accusation. How am I supposed to believe you?"Vivian opened and closed her mouth several times, then forced out a strained explanation."As Donna, I was only trying to uphold order and decency on the estate."Elias gripped the photo tightly."Over a few rumors, you had her sealed inside that shed."What if there hadn't been a fire? What were you going to do? Let her die of thirst or starvation in there?!"A flicker of guilt passed through Vivian's eyes, but she still clung to her prid

Elias called in the family's private jet and was back at the estate that same night.But it was too late. All that remained was the acrid smell of smoke and the charred wreck of the shed.When Elias returned, the servants on the estate turned pale and didn't dare speak.Finally, Hugo Moretti, the butler, stepped forward hesitantly and spoke in a low voice."Don, the fire was too intense. There's nothing left inside."Elias whipped out his gun and pointed it at Hugo's head, his voice frighteningly cold."Why didn't anyone get Flora out? You should all know the Voss family has no use for dead weight."Hugo shook from head to toe, tears running down his weathered face."Please, please don't kill me."It's not that we didn't try. It's, it's that the Donna had us nail the shed door shut beforehand. By the time the fire started, it was too late to get it open."Elias stood frozen for a long while. Then, very slowly, he asked."Nailed it shut? Why?"Hugo kept his head down and answered quietl
