Chapter 5

Author: Lola C
When I woke again, I found myself lying on a hospital bed.

The doctor said my left leg had been crushed and would require a long period of recovery.

Dominic, of course, was next door, “attending” to Liliane’s little brother. That so-called unconscious boy was now awake, crying for candy in the hospital room every day, and Dominic seemed to revel in pampering him.

I leaned back against the headboard, flipping through a magazine, when the door suddenly banged open. My parents stormed in, their fac

  • Mafia Marriage From Betrayal to Obsession   Chapter 10

    Time passed quickly.By the time my leg finally healed, our wedding was put on the agenda.During my recovery, Vincent often came to see me.He wasn’t a man of many words, but he was impossibly careful.I knew he was busy—relocating his Sicilian family’s operations to New York—but no matter how demanding his schedule became, he still made time to sit beside me, to bring me flowers, to make sure I ate well.My parents saw everything.Their initial impression—that he was marrying me purely for alliance—gradually turned into genuine approval.Even I began to wonder:We’d only met once in high school.So why was he treating me with such tenderness?Every time I asked, he only gave a quiet smile.“I’ll tell you”, he always said, “after we’re married.”The wedding was breathtaking.White roses—my favorite—filled every corner of the grand hall.I could tell Vincent had chosen every detail himself.The powerful mafia families of New York, along with the city’s elite, gathered to witness it—a

    The next day, the police arrived at the hospital to investigate the incident.Dominic and Liliane, upon hearing the news, rushed over immediately.Dominic’s face was red with fury as he blocked the police, shouting,“How dare you investigate me?”“I already told you—it was Eva’s own carelessness that caused the accident. Why are you blaming me? Have you even figured out the facts?”Liliane chimed in with a shrill voice, “Exactly! Officer, you can’t wrongly accuse innocent people! Eva was just unhappy with the engagement and wants to frame my family!”Both them firmly denied any wrongdoing in front of the police.Trying to act composed, Dominic added,“I didn’t even approach her car that day. I wasn’t there at all—how could I possibly have anything to do with the accident?”Liliane, tears streaming down her face, sobbed while speaking,“My brother was just playing by the roadside. Who knew a car would suddenly crash toward him? We really didn’t do anything!”However, the police remained

    Dominic couldn’t accept what was happening before his eyes. His gaze was hollow, like a puppet on strings, muttering over and over.“This… this isn’t real… it can’t be… how could this happen…”Suddenly, he snapped, lunging forward like a madman, shaking me violently again.“Eva… this isn’t real, right?”“You’re just acting, trying to get revenge, aren’t you? Tell me it’s not true!”Vincent’s brow furrowed. His voice cut through the air like ice.“Do you really think I’d play along with your little farce?”The words were so chilling that the air in the hospital room seemed to freeze.Dominic’s body went limp. He collapsed onto the bed across from me, eyes filled with despair and disbelief.Liliane immediately rushed forward. She gently patted Dominic’s back, her voice trembling with fake consolation.“Dominic, don’t be too upset.”“Eva doesn’t cherish you. That’s her loss.”“You still have me. I’ll always be by your side.”But Dominic, boiling with anger, shoved her aside and pointed at

    The ward door suddenly burst open.Liliane rushed in, her hair in disarray, tears streaking her face, sobbing uncontrollably.The moment she entered, she pointed straight at me, her voice cracking as she accused.“Mr. Corleone, you have to do something! Eva… she’s far too cruel!”“That day… she knew my little brother was playing by the roadside, yet she deliberately drove like a maniac straight at him!”“She tried to kill my brother! She’s a murderer!”“My brother is still lying unconscious in a hospital bed—how can she be so heartless?”Her sobs shook as she paused, then turned to Vincent, her tone filled with accusation.“And now… she wants to avoid responsibility, trying to slander me and Dominic in front of you!”“She must’ve said rumors about me and Dominic! But we grew up together, innocent as can be! Everything she’s saying is fabrication!”Then, she lunged forward, right in front of me, grabbing my wrist and lifting the ring on my finger high into the air, her voice piercing.“

    The moment Dominic heard the news, his face turned ghostly pale.Terror and panic flickered in his eyes.He stumbled toward the door—and crashed straight into Vincent Corleone himself.Every muscle in Dominic’s face twitched. He forced out a smile that looked more painful than tears.“Uncle… you’re here?” he greeted, voice trembling so badly the words almost fell apart.Inside, his heart was pounding like a war drum. He knew better than anyone how vital this marriage was—the union between the Corleones and the Valentinos would decide their future hold on power.He also knew Vincent valued nothing more than the family’s interests.If I dared to expose even a fraction of Dominic’s disgrace, his life would hang by a thread.Panicking, Dominic hurried to my bedside.He fussed with my blanket, movements clumsy and unnatural, and forced a gentle tone.“Eva, how are you feeling?”Before I could answer, he leaned in—trying to kiss me right in front of Vincent.I turned my face away in disgust.

My parents stormed in, their faces pale with worry.My mom rushed to my side, eyes red and brimming with tears, her entire face etched with concern.“My darling Eva… how did you get into an accident? My legs went weak when I got the call—I nearly passed out!”Tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke. “It’s all my fault for not watching over you. Were you mistreated by the Corleone family? Last time you called, I felt something was off… did something happen?”Dad, Lucas, stood grimly by the bed, voice low and simmering with
