เข้าสู่ระบบI went back to the villa after dealing with Lina.Marco was already waiting for me in the living room. "You've got everything handled, Freya?""Yes." I nodded as I took a seat across from him. "She's being held at the Brodlyn docks. She'll be released whenever she pays back the money in full.""Alright." Marco nodded. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Freya, Vincenzo is… He doesn't seem well. After leaving the notary yesterday, he went straight to the hospital.""That's not my concern," I replied evenly.Marco looked at me, clearly torn. "I know you're angry, Freya, but he's still—""Marco," I cut him off. "We're done. From now on, he lives his life, and I'll live mine. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."Marco sighed and said nothing more.I threw myself into the famiglia business in the days that followed.The Corleone operations expanded under my leadership. Not only did we strengthen our hold in Nowork, we even opened new markets in Enroppe.I became a real
Five days after the agreement was signed, I gave Vincenzo a call and set a time to finalize the divorce at the famiglia's notary.He took a long time to pick it up. When he finally did, his tone was flat. "Tomorrow morning at 10. Got it.""Alright."After ending the call, I got up and went into the study. Then, I opened a box that had been sealed away for years.Inside was the famiglia-crest-turned ring Vincenzo had used to propose to me.Looking at the engraving of the ring, I recalled the way he'd knelt down on a knee and the promises he'd made back then.My chest tightened involuntarily, but only for a brief moment.I put the ring back into the box and locked it again.Some things, once lost, were lost for good. There was no use holding on.…I arrived at the famiglia's notary on time the next morning.Vincenzo was already there. He was dressed in a black suit, and his hair was neatly styled. However, his face looked pale, and dark shadows circled his eyes.He looked lik
"So, Vincenzo really signed it just like that?" Marco asked in disbelief as he stared at the photo of the agreement I'd sent him."Yes." I took a sip of whiskey and continued, "He didn't hesitate at all.""That idiot. He has no idea how good he had it." Marco's voice was tinged with anger. "Don't worry, Freya, I'll take care of Lina. She has to return every single cent she took from the Corleone famiglia.""No need," I declined. "I want to handle Lina myself. This isn't just between Vincenzo and me anymore. It's also between her and me."I wanted to let Lina know that she'd have to pay the price for taking something that belonged to me.…I threw myself at work over the next few days. I reorganized every branch of the Corleone famiglia's operations, replaced several of Vincenzo's loyalists, and moved people I trusted in.I needed to make sure that the famiglia would keep running smoothly after the divorce.The busyness left me no time to think about Vincenzo and kept the pain a
In the end, we didn't go up to the apartment. We sat in my car instead.Vincenzo lit a cigarette. His expression was dark and unreadable as smoke filled the space.I didn't speak, merely watched him in silence as I waited for him.The air in the car felt suffocating."When did you find out?" Vincenzo finally asked, his voice hoarse."Three days ago," I replied honestly."So, that's what you've been up to for the past three days? Taking screenshots, digging through accounts, and drafting agreements?" Vincenzo's eyes flickered with hurt and anger."What else was I supposed to do?" I retorted, "Am I supposed to pretend I didn't know and keep playing the devoted wife while you live a double life with another woman?""I was just fooling around with her," Vincenzo snapped as he crushed the cigarette out. "I never planned to divorce you, Freya. I was just… being foolish for a moment.""A moment?" I laughed so hard I nearly teared up. "It's been six months. You've wired her 50 thousan
Thanks to Lina's oversharing tendencies online, I knew every move she and Vincenzo made over the past three days.They went to a beach in Myradi, basking in the sun. She leaned against his chest and smiled sweetly.They also went to a casino in Lavrona. Vincenzo won Lina a sports car, and she jumped into his arms, kissing him in excitement.They even went bungee jumping. She screamed fearfully and clung to him tightly, while he soothed her with a tender gaze.Each post hit me like a punch to the chest.That was because I had always wanted to go to the Myradi beaches. Vincenzo had promised to bring me there once the famiglia stabilized, but he took another woman there in the end.We'd made a promise to win a car in the Lavrona casino, yet that promise was never fulfilled.Vincenzo had begged me countless times to try bungee jumping, saying that it was a romantic event for couples.However, I could never bring myself to agree because of my childhood trauma. He had been disappoint
Vincenzo had just turned 18 when I first met him.He was the youngest son of the Corleone famiglia, often overlooked and even ostracized by his uncles.The former Don Corleone wanted Vincenzo to marry the daughter of another Illyian mafia famiglia to strengthen their alliances.But he rebelled and ran away from the famiglia to come to Nowork. There, he found me, someone who had already made a name for herself in the underworld then.Marco was worried about Vincenzo and sent word through intermediaries. "Please look after him for a while, Ms. Freya. He's stubborn, so you may discipline him however you see fit if he upsets you. You don't have to worry about me."I had no intention of getting involved in family politics.But my heart softened when I saw Vincenzo at the station.He was squatting beneath a tree, a backpack slung over his shoulders, jeans faded from too many washes. His gaze was stubborn, yet he looked a little lost, like an abandoned boy."I know you're Freya." Vinc
