I Took Our Daughter's Ashes and Left His Mafia Family Chapter 9
Luca used every connection he had left.He contacted ports, airports, private aviation companies, immigration lawyers...He asked everyone he could still reach for help.After the Romano Family cast him out, most people wanted nothing to do with him.Only a few business associates from his early years still remembered their old friendship and hadn't completely cut him off.For three years, he gave my photo to every associate who traveled abroad for business."If you see the woman in this photo living alone, please tell me..."He asked each of them to keep an eye out for me.One year passed. Then two.Still, no word came.Then, in the late autumn of the third year, an old business associate who regularly traveled the Nordic routes returned from Stockholm.Just before leaving, he seemed to remember something and handed his phone to Luca."A while back, I went north for a business deal. I passed through a town and took a few photos."When I was looking through them, I kept thinking someon

Olivia and Emma were escorted from the estate that same day.They moved into a cramped five-hundred-square-foot apartment on the outskirts of the city.Before, all Olivia had to do was say, "I like it," and the latest designer clothes would arrive at her door.Now she could only stand outside a boutique window and stare at a dress she couldn't afford.She tried applying for a job at an upscale restaurant, but it didn't take long for someone to recognize her."Isn't she the one Mr. Romano was keeping?""You mean the other woman who got so famous online?"The manager politely asked her to leave.She tried coffee shops, jewelry stores, and hotels.Not a single one would hire her.Occasionally, a small shop would give her a chance.But the pay didn't even cover what she used to spend on a single bottle of perfume.Olivia grew more and more restless.Emma, however, had no idea that the pampered life she'd known was gone for good."Mom, all my classmates have new phones.""Mom, where's my bi

Luca still refused to believe Annie was gone.The calm, controlled man everyone once knew had disappeared. He had lost all reason and called me desperately, over and over.Every call went to voicemail.His texts came back with a "Not Delivered" notice.He drove back to the estate like a madman, then rushed through our bedroom and into Annie's room.Annie's messy room was finally as spotless as he'd always wanted. Every toy, every book, even her blankets were gone. There was no trace that a child had ever lived there.My clothes and personal belongings were gone too. The bedroom held only Luca's things, as if Annie and I had never lived there.Luca seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed to the floor.He had nothing left....Bottles lay scattered around Luca as he flipped through the family photo album again and again.The page he kept returning to held the only family portrait of the three of us. He was holding Annie, who was grinning with two tiny baby teeth, while I leaned aga

The moment Luca heard what was happening, he ordered Enzo to contact the PR team."Bury every video. Get the lawyers on it. Issue a statement and send cease-and-desist letters."Get every related post taken down from every platform."And one more thing."His voice turned icy."Find out who uploaded those videos. Bring that person to me."Half an hour later.Enzo returned, his face pale."Don Luca, we can't take them all down..."The videos have been shared hundreds of thousands of times. The original account has been deactivated."Our people can't hack into the account, and we can't trace who was behind it..."Just then, another set of anonymous documents was leaked.Among them was a lengthy financial ledger.Every transaction was carefully recorded.The ledger listed extravagant jewelry and clothing.It listed private jets and islands.It listed luxury goods and art collections.Every purchase had been paid for with money from the Romano Group or the Family accounts.The only people w

"Sophia!"Have you lost your mind?"Who gave you permission to go behind my back and contact the former Don?"The Council has already sent someone to ask why word is spreading that the Family's direct heir is dead!"Luca strode toward me.He looked like he'd just come from some formal event, dressed in a spotless white satin suit that gleamed under the lights.He once told me he hated white.But tonight, he wasn't the only one wearing it.Olivia was also wearing a white satin backless gown, and Emma wore a matching white dress.The three of them really did look like a family..."It isn't a rumor."Annie died of sepsis because you waited eight hours to sign the medical authorization."I took a copy of the death certificate from my bag and held it out to him.Luca took it. His eyes skimmed the page before his brow furrowed. Then he pulled out his phone and made a call."Verify this death certificate for me."He read out the registration number.A few minutes later.Someone on the other e

After Annie lost those privileges, even the simplest parts of her life became a struggle. She had to ask Luca for permission just to see a doctor or continue her lessons."Annie, Daddy doesn't like liars. Tell me. Did you steal the ring?"Under the constant pressure, Annie finally broke. She burst into tears and started slapping herself across the face over and over."I'm a bad kid! I stole the ring! I'm a bad kid! I stole the ring..."Bright red handprints appeared on her small face.Annie was falling apart, but Luca just stood there and watched.Only after Annie admitted to her supposed "wrongdoing" did Luca reluctantly restore some of her privileges, as if he were doing her a favor.Another time, I was on my knees in the living room, pleading with Luca on Annie's behalf, when Olivia walked past me. Though I never touched her, she suddenly threw herself to the floor and scraped her palm."Luca, I'm sure Sophia didn't mean it... it was just me being clumsy..."Olivia smiled smugly as
