Chapter 5

Author: JOJO
It wasn’t long before Lucius and Liz were pulled from the river by his men.

Liz’s wet hair clung to her face as she pressed a hand to her chest and coughed weakly.

“Lucius…”

She called his name in a hoarse voice, bracing herself on one arm as she tried to move closer to him, but Lucius didn’t seem to hear her at all.

He lifted his head, swept his gaze over the empty surroundings, and stared blankly in the direction where the helicopter had disappeared.

Then he suddenly got to his feet, seized on

  • My Memories Returned, So I Left the Don   Chapter 8

    Lucius collapsed in the pouring rain and was eventually carried back by his men.His fever raged for three days and nights, at one point becoming so severe that he went into convulsions. His private physician treated him around the clock with medication and IV fluids before finally managing to pull him through.The moment Lucius opened his eyes, the first thing he did was order the butler to summon every one of his trusted men to the study.“Gather everyone we have. We’re attacking the Moretti estate.”He leaned against the headboard, his face as pale as paper while manic obsession burned in his eyes.“I’ll destroy everything she relies on until she has no choice but to come back to me.”His lieutenants exchanged uneasy looks before one of them finally forced himself to step forward.“Don, the Morettis are the most powerful Mafia family. Their influence runs too deep, and we… we’re no match for them.”“I don’t care!”Lucius threw back the covers, staggered to his feet, and seized the m

  • My Memories Returned, So I Left the Don   Chapter 7

    Gunshots echoed across the training grounds of the Moretti estate.Wearing noise-canceling earmuffs, I raised my pistol and pulled the trigger, sending every bullet straight through the center of the target.Three years spent living like a caged bird had done nothing to dull my marksmanship, and I was still the finest heir the Moretti Family had ever trained.Meanwhile, at the Camorra estate, Lucius had locked himself inside his study, where empty liquor bottles littered the floor and the heavy stench of alcohol filled the room.One of his men stood nervously outside the door to make his report.“Don, we found something. The last location Donna shared before she left, as well as the helicopter that picked her up, both belonged to the Moretti Family. They were the ones who took her away.”“We didn’t dare investigate any further because we were afraid of provoking the Morettis. They’re simply too powerful for us to risk making an enemy of them.”“The Moretti Family?”A manic gleam of joy

    The roar of the helicopter gradually faded as it descended onto the broad lawn of the Moretti estate.The moment the cabin door opened, I caught the long-forgotten scent of cedar mingled with cool, damp air.It smelled like home.Not far away stood a middle-aged couple supporting each other as they waited.They were my parents, the Don and Donna of the Moretti Family.After three years apart, silver had crept into my father’s temples, while my mother, who had always carried herself with perfect posture, now seemed slightly stooped.The moment I stepped out of the helicopter, my mother rushed toward me without hesitation and pulled me tightly into her arms.“My Merope… my daughter…”She held me so fiercely that her tears soaked through the fabric at my shoulder, and my own tears finally spilled over.I wrapped my arms around her and gently patted her back as my voice broke.“Mother, I’m home. I’m all right now.”My father stepped forward and gathered both of us into his arms.His callou

    It wasn’t long before Lucius and Liz were pulled from the river by his men.Liz’s wet hair clung to her face as she pressed a hand to her chest and coughed weakly.“Lucius…”She called his name in a hoarse voice, bracing herself on one arm as she tried to move closer to him, but Lucius didn’t seem to hear her at all.He lifted his head, swept his gaze over the empty surroundings, and stared blankly in the direction where the helicopter had disappeared.Then he suddenly got to his feet, seized one of his men by the collar, and began trembling all over.“Where is she?”The man was so frightened by the look on Lucius’s face that he couldn’t speak.“Where is Merope? Who took her away just now? Why didn’t any of you stop her?”His voice cracked as he shouted.The man shook his head, trembling.“Don, I-I didn’t see clearly. It all happened too fast. By the time we realized what was happening, Donna had already left in the helicopter.”Lucius released him.He staggered back several steps, str

    The moment the door closed, the gentle expression vanished from Liz’s face.She walked over to my vanity, pulled several sheets of paper from her handbag, and slapped them onto the table.“He signed them.”She lifted her chin smugly.I picked up the papers and turned to the signature page. It was unmistakably Lucius’s handwriting.“I told him I wanted to buy a few commercial properties, then slipped the divorce papers in with the contracts. He didn’t even bother reading them before signing everything.”Liz folded her arms across her chest, unable to hide the pride in her voice.Tilting her head, she looked at me and asked, “You’ve never had him indulge you like that, have you?”I let out a quiet scoff.Three years ago, as the sole heiress of the Moretti Family, the most powerful Mafia family, I had gone out into the world under an assumed identity to gain experience on my own.I first met Lucius while I was working as a waitress in a café, when he accidentally spilled coffee on my clot

    Liz didn’t reply until the next morning.“What do you mean?”“Help me trick Lucius into signing the divorce papers. Once he does, the position of Donna will be yours.”There was a long silence before another message finally came through.Her reply was dripping with smug contempt.“Merope, have you finally realized that you’re past your prime? That you’re no longer good enough for Lucius?”“I heard he went to great lengths to win you over back then, but I think that was only because he hadn’t met me first. Now that I’m here, you should have stepped aside a long time ago.”I wasn’t angry. I only found it ridiculous.She thought she had won, but a man whose attention wandered so easily would never be short of another woman to replace the last.“Beg me.”“If you ask nicely enough, maybe I’ll help you.”I had no intention of indulging her.“You’re the one in a hurry, not me. If you don’t want to do it, I don’t mind staying in the position you’ve been dreaming of.”She fell silent for a mome
