Synopsis

Mistress

Marriage

Tragic Love

Winning Back the Wife

When I'm three months pregnant, I fall down the stairs at home and end up losing my unborn baby. Since then, I'm immersed in the sorrow of losing my baby. On top of that, I hate myself for being careless during my pregnancy. But my husband, Domenico Ferrante, doesn't blame me at all. Instead, he keeps staying by my side and taking good care of me. "Honey, we'll still have another baby in the future. Don't be sad, okay?" I thought I married my true love. But on the day I get discharged, I overhear a conversation between Domenico and his Underboss, Rocco Carini. "Have you cleaned up the oil spill at the stairway? Nadia is about to get discharged. Don't let her discover the truth." After Rocco makes all arrangements, he hesitates for a moment before telling Domenico, "Don Ferrante, if the Donna ever finds out that you're the one behind her miscarriage, she will never forgive you." Domenico falls silent for a moment. Then, he replies casually, "I will never let Nadia find out the truth. Valentina has finally gotten pregnant after so long—I won't let anyone threaten her child's inheritance right. This is the vow I've made to Valentina in the past. "As for Nadia, she will always be my wife even if she doesn't have a child." It turns out that this isn't an accident. My own husband actually makes me miscarry our child just for the sake of another woman. Heartbroken, I call my older brother, Alessio Nucci. "Alessio, Domenico has killed my child. I want to divorce him and leave him forever." After a moment of silence, Alessio says in a cold, harsh tone, "Fake your death, then. Only after you've completely vanished from this world can Domenico forever live in the pain of not being able to find you ever again."

Chapter 1
The fever hit that night.Maybe my body was too weak after the miscarriage, or maybe the weight of what I'd learned had finally crushed something inside me. Either way, I burned through the night in a haze, slipping in and out of consciousness while blood filled every dream.In one of them, a small child stood at the top of a staircase, drenched in red, watching me. I reached for him, but he drifted further away.A cool touch pressed against my forehead. I forced my eyes open and found someone half-kneeling beside the bed, wiping my face with a damp towel.In the dim light, Domenico Ferrante was still wearing the same black shirt from yesterday, his sleeves rolled to the elbows. He was a man who never had a hair out of place, but right now, he looked wrecked. His eyes were bloodshot, and dark stubble shadowed his jaw.Fever-reducing syringes and ice packs were scattered across the nightstand. A basin of water sat haphazardly by the foot of the bed, half of it soaked into his pant

The next morning, I was woken by the commotion downstairs.I dragged myself out of bed on shaky legs and walked to the second-floor railing. The entire foyer was packed with luggage—suitcases and trunks crammed wall to wall.Valentina stood in the middle of it all, barking orders at the staff like she owned the place."These cases go in the master bedroom closet. Be careful with them. Some of those pieces are antique jewelry Domenico gave me personally, and if anything gets damaged, it's coming out of your pay."I don't like the color of the curtains. Have them changed today. And the nursery needs to be redone. Clear everything out."She was wearing a cream-colored dress, one hand resting lightly on her stomach, carrying herself as though she were already the lady of this house.I gripped the railing, my face pale, and watched it all unfold. Then Valentina finally glanced up, as if she'd only just noticed me standing there. She flashed me a sweet smile."Nadia, you're awake!" sh

Chapter 3
I lowered my head, my eyes welling with tears. Any explanation I could offer would be meaningless now, because from start to finish, Domenico had never cared about the truth.I was so tired, too tired to even argue anymore.After that day, I moved into the east wing suite on my own. For three full days, I didn't go downstairs even once. And in that time, the entire estate transformed as though it had a new mistress.The staff began taking Valentina's orders first. The kitchen prepared special meals for her. Even the Ferrante family's private doctor made three visits a day to the master bedroom.Everyone revolved around the baby in her belly, while I, the actual wife, might as well have ceased to exist.On the fourth night, the estate hosted a private dinner. The Silvestri family was coming to discuss a partnership on an arms shipment route, and Domenico had to be there.I hadn't planned on attending, but Domenico came to my room personally. He draped a jacket over my shoulders, h

Chapter 4
The VIP suite on the top floor of the hospital was so quiet that the only sound was the soft beeping of the monitors.Domenico hadn't slept all night. He sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers that he'd never bothered to light.Valentina was already asleep in the hospital bed. Her face was pale. Even unconscious, her hand rested protectively over her stomach, like a small animal that had finally found shelter after being frightened half to death.The doctor said they'd gotten her there just in time. The baby was safe, but any later and the consequences would have been unthinkable.Yet for some reason, Domenico couldn't shake the restlessness gnawing at him. The image that kept surfacing in his mind wasn't Valentina's tear-streaked face. It was the way I had looked at him at the very end.It was quiet, and disappointed, like something between us had died for good.Domenico closed his eyes. He knew he'd been unfair to me this time.He'd been pouring too much of his a

Chapter 5
The black Maybach tore through every red light on the way there. Domenico sat in the back seat, his face dark enough to silence the entire car.No one dared to speak. Rocco sat in the passenger seat, his back soaked through with cold sweat. He'd been at Domenico's side for years, and this was the first time he'd ever seen the Don lose control like this.Just ten minutes ago, Domenico had mobilized the city's entire fire response network, blocked off roads, evacuated surrounding blocks, and ordered his private medical team on standby.The full weight of the Ferrante empire had been set into motion, all because of a single sentence. "The Madre's room caught fire."But even so, by the time the car pulled up to the estate, the flames had already torn through half the east wing. Smoke billowed into the sky, and the air was thick with the acrid stench of char.Fire hoses blasted water in every direction. The staff and guards were on their knees across the lawn, none of them daring to lo

Chapter 6
After I was gone, Domenico fell apart completely.He blamed himself over and over, his mind trapped in a single relentless thought. If he hadn't insisted on locking me in that room, I never would have died. The guilt ate at him every waking moment, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.After my funeral, he shut himself inside the master bedroom and didn't come out.He drowned himself in alcohol day and night, letting himself deteriorate piece by piece. The man who had once led the Ferrante family with ruthless precision and quiet authority was reduced to a hollow shell, with none of the sharpness he'd once carried. Every trace of the person he used to be was gone.His room was littered with empty bottles, and the air permanently reeked of liquor. The moment his mind cleared even slightly, my face would flood back in. The way I'd looked at him in silence, the disappointment in my eyes, all of it was seared into his memory and refused to fade.Whenever he thought abo

Chapter 7
Valentina finalized every detail of the party in no time.She invited all the prominent figures in their circle, along with every elder and relative in the Ferrante family. She was determined to use the evening to cement herself as the undisputed mistress of the estate.On the night of the party, she dressed to perfection. The gown was stunning, and she wore it like she'd been born for it. She moved through the crowd with easy grace, every inch the hostess.Most of the guests knew which way the wind was blowing and played along. They approached her one after another with smiles and congratulations, every word a compliment about her soon becoming Domenico's wife.The endless stream of flattery fed her vanity exactly the way she needed it to, and she kept a radiant smile on her face the entire night. She was certain that after tonight, no one would ever hold the dead Madre over her head again.But just as the evening was about to formally begin, when the atmosphere in the room was a

Chapter 8
After the party, Valentina was seething, but she still wanted to give them both one last chance.She went to Domenico on her own, deliberately softening her approach, and offered what looked like a humble apology."Domenico, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone ahead and thrown the party without talking to you first."She put on the face of a woman who understood, who was considerate of his position."I get it. Nadia only just passed, and if you got engaged to me so soon, it would look terrible for you. I was being naive."Then, with a trace of quiet hope, she laid herself bare. "I won't push you. I can wait. However long it takes, I'll wait until you're ready to accept me."But Domenico didn't soften in the slightest. He looked straight at her. "Don't bother waiting. I will never be with you, not in this lifetime."The color vanished from Valentina's face, but Domenico wasn't finished."I'll honor the promise I made. Your child will be the heir. But until that child comes of age

Chapter 9
No one knew that I had faked my death and made my way back to my homeland, the coast of Cedral.I was the only daughter of one of Cedral's oldest and most powerful financial dynasties. My family's roots ran deep, with influence stretching across ports in multiple countries along the southern coast. We were old money in every sense of the word.I had been the treasure of the family from the day I was born, adored and sheltered by my parents and my brother. I could have lived my entire life in comfort and security, backed by a fortune most people couldn't imagine.But my younger self had despised everything about the rigid, predictable world I'd been born into.I'd met every eligible young man the families in our circle had to offer. They were polished, accomplished, and impossible to fault. Still, every single one of them was the same kind of safe, buttoned-up, and utterly lacking the raw edge I craved.Then I turned 19, and at a private cocktail party, I met Domenico.One look, a

Chapter 10
I was certain that the rest of my life would be steady and uneventful. What lay between Domenico and me was separated by death and more pain than I could measure, and none of it would ever bring us together again.I never imagined he would come looking for me. But through a tip from a mutual acquaintance, he tracked me down.One day, I closed a major deal and was heading out to sign the contract in person. I'd dressed carefully for the occasion, sharp and polished in something understated that carried authority. I looked like a woman who knew exactly what she was doing.I arrived at the meeting point as arranged and pushed open the door, only to freeze where I stood.The person sitting inside wasn't the business partner. It was Domenico, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.He had wasted away in the time since. The commanding presence that once defined him was gone entirely. His eyes were dull, heavy with exhaustion and wear, with none of the fire he used to carry.The moment he sa
