My Mafia Husband Chose His First Love Over Us Chapter 8
After I left Fog Harbor, I didn't delete Ethan's number. I just turned off notifications for his messages.I had Robin to care for and the workshop's orders and staff to sort out. I didn't have the energy to read his belated explanations over and over. The lawyers kept the divorce moving, and we had a formal agreement on where Robin would live and when Ethan could visit. I was willing to let her father stay in her life, but I wasn't willing to let the Hall family's rules control our daily lives anymore.I took my daughter back to Elmwood.It was where I'd lived as a child. Along its short streets were a bakery, a little flower shop, and a lawn someone kept trimmed year-round. I used the money I'd earned from the wedding dress for the down payment on a small two-bedroom house. The windowsill had room for Robin's little boat, and the kitchen was just big enough for a breakfast table for the two of us.Several neighbors had been friends of my parents before they died. When they heard I'd

News that the Hall family wedding had been canceled spread quickly through Fog Harbor.In a city where half the people made their living off the docks, horse-race betting, and night freight, whoever the Hall family heir married mattered to a lot of people. Now his estranged wife had left with their daughter, and the new bride had turned out to have two children from abroad. People started talking before the flowers had even been cleared from the church.At a private club, one old shipowner said bluntly, "Ethan may know how to run the docks, but he couldn't run his own house. Nora stood by him through his hardest days, and he couldn't even get his daughter's birthday right."The local paper ran photos of Vera's two children arriving at the church. Reporters questioned whether the Hall family had used its power to force Nora into a divorce. Marcus brought the article to Ethan and asked if he should have it buried.Ethan only glanced at it. "No. What they've written is the truth."In the

Vera admitted that Oliver and Sophie really were her children.Clutching Ethan's trouser leg, Vera sobbed. "My life abroad wasn't good at all. One night, someone got me drunk. I had no idea what happened, and later I had them. It wasn't my choice. I never loved their father. Ethan, I've only ever loved you."Ethan didn't say anything right away.The more she cried, the faster she spoke. "I was afraid you'd look down on me if you knew, so I didn't dare tell you. I just wanted to start over. Didn't you marry Nora and have Robin? We've both been with other people. Why is it okay for you and not for me?"Ethan looked at the two children huddled by the door. Oliver shielded his sister behind him. He was clearly terrified, yet he still didn't want to go too far from his mother.A few days ago, his own daughter had hidden behind Nora's legs just like that.At the time, he'd thought Robin was refusing to show Vera any respect. Now, after seeing Vera push away her own children, he understood ho

Ethan stared at his phone. It had been 15 minutes, and Nora still hadn't replied.That almost never happened.From the time they'd first started writing to each other anonymously, Nora had always replied as soon as she saw his messages. Later, no matter how busy the workshop was, she'd take half a minute to tell him what she was doing.Once he'd teased her for being so earnest, and Nora had buried her face in his chest. "Because you matter. I don't want to keep someone important to me waiting."But now his messages seemed to vanish into thin air.Ethan called again. Still no answer. Through the glass, he could see a long line of cars outside the church. His uncle and the Hall family's business partners were already seated in the pews, and the ceremony was about to begin.Vera came over, the skirt of her wedding dress trailing behind her. "Ethan, why are you still here? The officiant's been waiting for us.""Nora isn't answering her phone," he said. "She doesn't usually do that. I want

The hand I'd tucked behind my back caught the pin box on the cutting table and tipped it over. A needle pricked my fingertip.But that little pain was nothing next to what Vera had just said.My health had been poor when I was pregnant with Robin. Every night, Ethan would rest his hand on my belly and wait for her to kick, and whenever she did, it made his whole night.Once, out of nowhere, he said, "Let's name our baby Robin.""Whether it's a boy or a girl?" I laughed. "How did you come up with that name?"He paused, then answered seriously, "Boy or girl, this baby will be the most precious gift we have."I believed him back then.Even our daughter's name isn't a memory we made together. It's a promise he carried over from another relationship.Ethan clearly remembered that moment too, and for once he looked flustered. "Nora, about the name, I can explain.""No need." I gathered up the pins scattered on the table. The tiny wound on my finger had stopped bleeding. "Robin is the daughte

On the third day, I went to the tailoring workshop on the west side of the city to deal with the remaining orders.The Hall family had plenty of business partners who needed to look the part at formal banquets, and my first commissions had been custom gowns for them. Later, I'd built my own label and a team of a dozen or so people, and the workshop no longer needed their orders to survive.But the shop's lease and the warehouse security were still tied to the family. Since I'd decided to leave Fog Harbor, I had to untangle those ties one by one so no one could use the Hall name to push my staff around in the future.I was going over the accounts with the cutter when the wind chime over the door suddenly rang.Vera walked in on Ethan's arm, with two guards behind them. She wore a fitted charcoal-gray dress and twirled in front of me. "Nora, your work really is good. No wonder Ethan says you're talented."I recognized the subtle pattern at the waist at once.I'd made that dress with my o
