Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Shirley
At Lorenzo's question, Ava's face went deathly white.

"I... I don't know."

"I was working myself to the bone directing the staff for the banquet. I turned around and saw this old woman with a limp, dragging a suitcase, trying to force her way in and shouting Helen's name. I was afraid she'd cause trouble with security, so I tried to run her off, but she threw a fit and refused to leave."

"To uphold the Don's authority, I told my men to persuade her to leave."

At this, Ava's eyes reddened. Tears

  • My Don’s Secretary Killed the Wrong Mother   Chapter 14

    The Madre took that bullet ten years ago.Back then, Lorenzo was just a minor soldato in the family, hauling cargo and running messages at the docks. A gunman from a rival family targeted him, opening fire as he stepped out of a warehouse.Somehow, the Madre was there. She pushed her son aside, and the bullet tore through her left leg.The doctor shook his head at the time, saying she would never walk straight again.Lorenzo couldn't accept it.He gritted his teeth and used every coin he'd earned living on the edge of a knife to send his mother to the best private clinic overseas. She stayed there for years.All so that leg could work again.A few months ago, his mother called him herself, her voice filled with joy. She could walk again, though her knee wasn't fully recovered, so she walked with a slight limp.Lorenzo had been ecstatic.He spent months preparing: buying this mountaintop estate, ordering the most expensive flowers, the best wine, gathering the most powerful families in

  • My Don’s Secretary Killed the Wrong Mother   Chapter 13

    At this, Lorenzo's face went white. "What did you say?""The Madre arrived this morning?""Why didn't she tell me?"The man on the other end explained cautiously."The Madre supposedly wanted to surprise you. She didn't want to alert the guards, so she called a car from the terminal and headed straight for the new estate.""She should have arrived around noon. Didn't you order the estate to be prepared inside and out days ago?""Did none of the men see a sign of the Madre?"At these words, a muscle in Lorenzo's face twitched violently. "Arrived at the estate at noon?"The voice on the other end confirmed."Yes, Don.""We checked the traffic cameras along the route. The Madre was wearing an off-white travel suit and pulling a vintage purple hardshell suitcase.""The last place the footage shows her is at the main gate."The words struck him like a sledgehammer. His eyes, wide as if he'd seen a ghost, fixed on the vintage purple suitcase in the corner of the yard.He hung up the phone an

  • My Don’s Secretary Killed the Wrong Mother   Chapter 12

    I gazed quietly at Lorenzo, at the man I had once loved with my entire youth.There was a time when he had nothing, yet his eyes burned with the ambition of a wolf. With the first gun I risked my life to buy him, he described the criminal empire that would be ours.Back then, if he had only a single sip of water left, he would have given it to me without hesitation.That Lorenzo was the only light I could hold onto in the chaotic streets. He loved fiercely, and I loved madly.That's why I was willing to squat with him in a drafty little apartment, gnawing on cold bread. I was willing to cook for him, pay his rent, and watch my mother sell her land to fill his pockets with startup money.But now, that love was dead and cold.What reason did I have to waste the rest of my years on this man?My swift, resolute agreement seemed to catch Lorenzo off guard. He stood there, momentarily stunned.Bianca was the first to react, her voice impatient."Everyone heard that! You said it yourself. Don

    After hanging up the previous call, Lorenzo stared at me coldly."Helen, when my mother is standing here, safe and sound, let's see what excuses that foul mouth of yours can come up with."Ava immediately moved closer, smoothing the sleeve of his suit in a soft, fawning gesture."Don, don't worry. The Madre is surely safe and sound."Bianca chimed in with a pout. "That's right, brother. Don't let some psycho ruin your mood. She's just trying to cause trouble and ruin tonight's celebration!"Lorenzo nodded slightly. "I know.""I never for a second thought anything would happen to my mother.""And I certainly don't believe someone as gentle as Ava would ever harm my Madre."He turned to me, his tone sinking to a bone-chilling cold."Helen, you have disappointed me beyond measure.""After this welcome banquet is over, we will formally dissolve our marriage.""I cannot tolerate a woman who disrespects the Madre to continue carrying the Falcone name."Bianca was the first to clap."That's r

  • My Don’s Secretary Killed the Wrong Mother   Chapter 10

    At my words, the charming smile on Ava's face froze.The guests in the courtyard gasped, staring at me as if they'd seen something unholy.In the next instant, Lorenzo's rage erupted."Helen, are you insane?!""I just told you to behave, and you turn around and say something like that to curse my mother?!"Bianca jabbed a finger in my face, her voice a shriek."Helen, you damned jinx!""Do you have to bring bad luck to the Falcone family on such a sacred occasion?"Ava's eyes filled with tears. "Donna, I know you despise me, but you can't curse the Don's own mother just to get at me!""You... do you really resent the Madre so much?"The various bosses in the estate were also thoroughly provoked, and a barrage of insults rained down. "This woman is definitely crazy! How dare she say something so taboo?""She's so obsessed with fighting over a man that she's forgotten the most basic rule of this life: you don't disrespect an elder.""On the day of the Madre's glorious return, she says so

  • My Don’s Secretary Killed the Wrong Mother   Chapter 9

    Facing Lorenzo's relentless accusations, I suddenly had no desire to argue.I just said faintly, "Call a family meeting."Lorenzo was slightly taken aback. "What?"I looked at him. "Aren't you convinced this is all just my petty scheming?""A death on the estate is no small matter. According to family rules, the Consigliere should be summoned to convene the capos for a ruling.""If it was a trap I set, then let the council bring me before a family tribunal. They can deal with me as they see fit."The moment I said that, Ava's face went pale."Donna, I know you want to pin this death on me, but you can't just air the family's dirty laundry for your own selfish reasons!""So many allies are here for the Madre's welcome banquet. What will it look like if we call a meeting now?""If word of this gets out, how will the Falcone family save face with the Commission?""Are we going to celebrate the Madre's return or not?"Bianca immediately chimed in. "Exactly!""Helen, what kind of vicious pl
