I Was the Don's Secret Wife for Three Years, Then I Left Chapter 10
Sierra’s POVCassius stood on the terrace, staring blankly ahead. He didn't try to stop me again.The next day, Cassius disappeared from Zurich as suddenly as he had appeared. The only traces he left were the institute's new equipment and the unused investment funds in its account.Alexander rushed back from New York. He didn't ask any questions. He simply secured new funding for me and invited me to dinner."Sierra, there's an international surgical forum in Paris in three months. Would you like to go with me?" Alexander smiled, genuine hope shining in his blue eyes.I looked at him, and for the first time in a year, I felt myself relax. "Yes."Another three months passed.At the forum in Paris, I gave a talk on the latest advances in my field and received a standing ovation. Alexander sat in the front row, his eyes full of pride and love as he watched me.After I stepped down from the podium, my phone buzzed with a news alert from New York."Breaking News: Vitelli Family's Money-Laun

Sierra’s POVCassius didn't approach me again. He was patient and calculating, so he changed tactics.Over the next three days, the research center underwent a series of changes.An anonymous donation of 50 million euros suddenly appeared in the hospital's account.Next, ten pieces of state-of-the-art medical equipment were flown directly to the hospital, with explicit instructions that they be assigned to my department.Every morning when I arrived at my office, a warm oat milk latte waited on my desk. Back at the clinic, it was the only drink he'd let me have after I'd spent all night operating.Everyone knew who was behind it all.After that day, Cassius stopped confronting me. Instead, he relied on the methods he knew best: throwing money around, applying pressure, and flaunting his power. His message was clear: he still controlled everything.I took all of it.Those machines could save many lives. I had no reason to turn them down over a personal grudge.On Friday evening, I had j

Sierra’s POVZurich, Switzerland.Wearing a camel cashmere coat and carrying two hot coffees, I hurried along the tree-lined path outside the medical research center at ETH Zurich.December's first snow had just fallen in Zurich, and the air was cold and clean."Sierra, you haven't fully recovered yet. Be careful not to slip."A warm voice called from behind me. Alexander Keller, dressed in a charcoal trench coat, caught up to me in a few long strides and took one of the coffees as if it were the most natural thing in the world.He was the largest investor in one of Europe's leading medical research centers. He was also the only person who had reached out to help me since I arrived in Switzerland.I'd arrived in Europe a week earlier, still weak from the miscarriage. After reading my published research papers, Alexander had made an exception and offered me a place on his team. He'd also arranged for me to receive the best medical care available while I recovered.He never pried into my

Cassius’s POV"The Salvatore family caused the explosion that day, but the clinic's location had been sent to them from Ms. Russo's device."Cold sweat covered Luca's forehead."There was never a bomb under Ms. Russo's car. She bribed two of our bodyguards to plant a mechanical timer that made a ticking sound beneath it."Luca swallowed, and his voice shook. "When the Donna called you for help, Ms. Russo secretly activated a signal jammer. That's why the call dropped."Crack.The whiskey glass shattered in Cassius's hand.Sharp shards dug into his palm, and blood dripped between his fingers onto the black walnut desk. He seemed not to feel it.Sierra's desperate cry on the phone rang in his ears again. "Cassius, I'm pregnant! I'm bleeding so much..."And what had he been doing?He had sat in an armored car and turned his back on his wife as she begged for help, all because of a fake ticking sound.He'd killed his only child and driven the wife who had always been calm and strong to the

Cassius’s POVEarly the next morning, Cassius met Luca in the study.Luca looked terrible. He was holding a thick manila envelope, and a fine sheen of cold sweat covered his forehead."Don..." Luca's voice trembled as he set the envelope on the wide desk.Cassius didn't look at it. He took a sip of coffee. "Did you deal with the doctor who faked the record?" he asked coldly.Luca swallowed and forced out the words. "Don... the record is real."Cassius froze, his coffee cup halfway to his mouth."What did you say?"Luca took a deep breath and emptied the envelope onto the desk.Inside was a thick stack of medical records, a few ER photos, and a flash drive containing security footage."We reviewed the downtown hospital's security footage and checked the blood bank records." Luca lowered his head, unable to meet Cassius's eyes. "The Donna... she was brought into the ER last night. She'd lost more than three pints of blood and was already in shock when they admitted her. The baby... they

Cassius’s POVThe Vitelli family's bomb experts spent three hours searching the Rolls-Royce inside and out. They checked it three times.There was no bomb.The supposed ticking had come from an alarm clock someone had placed under the car. No one knew who had put it there.Cassius stood outside the cordon, the night wind tugging at his black coat. He listened to Luca's report without a flicker of expression."Pack it up," he ordered calmly.Mia walked over, wrapped in a thick cashmere shawl. Her eyes were red, and she tried to slip her arm through his."Cassius, maybe it was just somebody's sick prank... I was so scared... I thought I'd never see you again."Her voice trembled as if she had truly escaped death.Cassius didn't push her away, but he quietly pulled his arm free."Luca will take you back to the safe house. Don't go out for a few days." His voice was low and left no room for argument."But you...""I have something to take care of."He didn't look at Mia again. He turned an
