My Mafia Husband And Son Always Picked My Best Friend Over Me Chapter 11
One year later, in Vespera.The Charlton Family’s European branch officially opened.The headquarters building stood right on the coast.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the street below.Lights flickered on one by one. Traffic streamed through the streets.The evening wind blew in through the open window, carrying the smell of coffee and salt.Rook stood behind me, his voice quiet.“ Underboss. Dock profits tripled this year. The European routes are fully open. They go live next month. ”“ Dante got fired from the docks last month. He got caught stealing cargo to sell for cash. He does odd jobs in the slums now. Barely eats. Luca dropped out of school. He works with him. They get beat up a lot. ”“ Lena’s debt keeps growing. She moved from the strip club to a rougher underground bar. A client beat her up last month. Scarred her face. She’ll never dance again. She cleans back rooms now. Barely scrapes by. She still sends begging letters. ”I held my glass of whiskey and

After a few steps, Rook spoke low.“ Underboss. Word came in from the south. Lena reached out to a rival crew last night. She tried to sell intel on our new routes. ”I raised an eyebrow.“ Still not done? ”“ She owes more every month. She’s desperate. They offered her cash if she got close to you and stole the route maps. ”I laughed a little.“ Got some nerve, I’ll give her that. ”“ Where is she? ”“ We picked her up. She’s in the warehouse on 5th if you want to talk to her. ”I thought about it for half a second.“ No. Let her go.”“ Tell the rival crew she’s bad news. She’d sell me as fast as she’d sell them. ”“ And make sure no one hires her. No bars, no clubs, no underground spots. I want her alive. But I want her to live with the mess she created. ”“ Understood. ”Rook walked off to handle it.I walked to the end of the dock and leaned on the rail, looking out over the water.Waves rolled in, crashing against the rocks and throwing up white foam.I thought of that day on the

Three more months have passed.The Charlton Family expanded into Europe.I spent most of my time at the docks, overseeing the launch of new routes.One afternoon, I walked the old docks with Rook for a routine inspection.The whole port had been fully renovated.Cranes, containers, patrol crews, all up to Charlton standard.The sea wind blew sharply and salty.A distant cargo ship blew its horn.We rounded a stack of shipping crates and I spotted him first.Dante was heaving a heavy wooden crate off the back of a truck.His back was bowed under the weight.His shirt was soaked through with sweat, stuck to his back.The foreman yelled at him from a few feet away.“ Hurry it up, Voss! You’re behind again. You want me to dock your pay again? ”Dante didn’t answer.He just gritted his teeth and stacked the crate on the pile.Luca crouched in the shadow of a nearby wall, holding a burlap sack.He picked up loose cardboard and plastic bottles off the ground and stuffed them in.The boy had l

That afternoon, the office door slammed open.Dante stood in the doorway.His beard was overgrown. His eyes were sunken.He looked ten years older.Luca stood behind him, hunched, staring at his shoes.Dust from the docks still clung to their clothes.“ Seraphina… ”His voice was rough, like sandpaper.“ I was wrong. I know I was wrong. ”“ Come home, please. Luca needs his mom. I need you. ”“ I was an idiot. I didn’t know what I had. You can hit me. Yell at me. Just don’t leave me. Don’t leave us. ”Luca took two small steps forward, his eyes red and puffy.“ Mom. I’m sorry. I won’t call you bad woman anymore. I want my mom. ”“ Mom, please come home. ”I leaned back in my chair, twirling my pen.I looked at the father and son in front of me.I felt nothing.Like I was looking at two total strangers.“ Are you done? ” My voice was flat.“ Then leave. ”“ Seraphina! ” Dante stepped forward, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.“ Ten years. You’re just going to throw it all aw

After that, he completely broke.Luca cried at home every day, begging for his mom.The elite academy he’d attended expelled him.Parents signed petitions saying the traitor’s son didn’t belong with their kids.Dante had no choice but to send him to a public school in the slums.The boy went from a spoiled little heir to a kid in the gutter overnight.Most kids there were children of rival families.They bullied him every day.They stole his lunch. They pushed him into the gutter.He came home with bruises every day.He never mentioned Lena again.He barely even called Dad anymore.He just sat by the door a lot, staring in the direction of Charlton headquarters.He finally knew the “ bad woman ” he’d talked about was the one who’d always protected him.It was too late.After that,Dante tried to see me many times.He waited outside headquarters from dawn till dark.Security wouldn’t let him in.He sent flowers, gifts, long letters full of apologies.I had them all thrown away.He even r

That same afternoon, I released the video.No edits. No drama. Just plain statements, backed by documents and recordings.Word spread through the underworld quickly.“ Dante Voss Cheats On Wife ” “ Ballerina Homewrecker ” trended for a full night.But that was only the first step.My crew had been moving for three days already.On the financial front, we cut every line of credit to Dante’s company overnight.Banks pulled out their loans. Partners pulled out of every deal by dawn.Every business associate released statements cutting ties with him.No one wanted to be on the wrong side of the Charlton Family.His men either flipped sides or abandoned him.On the casino front, we shut down every underground club he ran.We seized ledgers and cash.Every smuggling route got cut.His shipments either got seized at customs or hijacked by rivals.In less than forty-eight hours, Dante’s business empire crumbled.He called everyone he knew, frantic.Family elders, business partners, underworld
