Left to Die for the Don's Darling Chapter 10
After work, Clara came to visit my grave again. She brought some flowers with her. She crouched down in front of the headstone and carefully wiped away the dust with a tissue before placing the flowers."Dante can walk without a cane now," she said.She told me that the outstanding payments owed to the bereaved families had also been settled."Your records were very thorough. We followed them and took care of everything. No one was overlooked."I stood beside her, feeling relieved that everyone's matters had been resolved.After Cesare took over, the family's operations gradually returned to normal.The documents that had once piled up in front of Marco, making him lose his temper time and again, were distributed among those who were familiar with each matter. They all came back with positive results.Lia sold her last piece of jewelry and paid off her overdue hotel bills, only to be kicked out of the hotel afterward. Dragging her suitcase behind her, she went from door to door,

One of the port's longtime clients terminated their partnership and promptly signed a contract with Marco's longtime rival.Marco contacted several intermediaries he'd once been on good terms with, hoping they'd help him negotiate a way out of the situation, but not a single call went through.Not long afterward, trouble broke out at the warehouses near the port."The East Yard is under attack! Several of our men are already injured. Enzo has ordered us to evacuate everyone first!"Marco immediately stood up and grabbed his jacket. "Bring the car around. I'm going there myself. Let's see who dares attack our warehouses!"His subordinate reminded him that Enzo was already handling the situation at the scene."Then tell them to wait for me!" Marco snapped into the phone before ending the call and hurrying downstairs.By the time he reached the East Yard, the injured men were just being loaded into vehicles, while several guards were climbing in after them.He grabbed one of the m

The renewal negotiations fell through, and several other partnerships stalled as well. However, the family had to honor the payments they'd already committed to.Marco sold one of his properties to cover the shortfall. When Enzo handed him the receipt, he didn't take it."I've covered all the losses. What more do they want before they'll agree to continue negotiations?" he snapped."They're afraid something will go wrong again next time, and you'll change the terms on a whim. No amount of compensation can buy back that trust," Enzo replied.Marco crumpled the receipt in his hand and said nothing more.…Without Marco's support, Lia began running short of money, too.I watched her take off a necklace in a jewelry store and place it on the counter. After hearing the offer, she reached out and took it back for a moment before pushing it forward again."This was custom-made. Take a closer look."The sales associate pushed the necklace back toward her, making it clear that she wasn

After the funeral, Marco volunteered to handle the negotiations for the renewal of a contract with one of the family's business partners at the port. He wanted to use this opportunity to show the capos that the family still needed him.Once the capos agreed to let him take the lead on the negotiations, he put Lia in charge of handling the dinner arrangements."All of Elena's notes are here. Just stick to the arrangements she prepared."Lia settled into the chair I used to sit in and casually flipped through the notebook on the desk before closing it."So, this is what she spends all her time doing? How hard can it be to arrange a dinner? There's no way I'd do any worse than she did," she declared.When the appointed evening arrived, Marcello De Laurentis showed up with his men, only to be told that they couldn't be seated yet.Lia's friends were seated at the table that had been reserved for Marcello, so the waiter had to tell them to wait until the table could be cleared.When

Marco refused to let anyone take my body away. "The car is ready. I'm taking her home myself."Holding my hand, he kept smoothing the white sheet covering me.Clara stood at the foot of the bed. "Once you take her home, are you just going to leave her lying there until you finally believe she's dead?"Marco didn't answer. Even when the elders of the Romano family arrived at the hospital, he remained at my bedside, refusing to let anyone touch me.Eventually, the elders had to grip his shoulder and say, "Marco, it's time to arrange her funeral."His head dipped. After a long silence, he slowly released my hand.My casket was placed inside a hall at the Romano estate. Marco brought over a chair and spent the entire night keeping vigil beside it."From now on, whenever you feel unwell, I'll take you to the doctor myself, so please just wake up. Please?"He leaned forward and straightened the wrinkles around my collar.Lia approached him with a glass of water. "You should drink so

When the door opened, I was standing beside the bed. Strangely, I couldn't feel any pain at all anymore.I looked down and realized I was still lying on the hospital bed. The hand that had failed to hold on to Marco's hung limply over the edge."Elena, how long are you going to keep this up?"Marco's voice trailed off.Clara was clearing away the equipment used during resuscitation. No one called out to me anymore.He walked to the bedside and clasped my hand tightly."Elena, I'm right here in front of you. Are you still refusing to open your eyes and look at me?"Standing beside him, I watched as he cupped my hand between both of his and rubbed it several times."Elena, why are your hands so cold?"He turned to Clara."Quick, bring me a thick blanket! Her hands are freezing!"Clara didn't move.Marco called my name again and pressed my hand against his face.On the island, I'd begged him for so long just to get him to listen to me. Now, he was bent over the bed, refusing
