Michele Giuliani successfully takes the throne as the leader of the mafia forces in Costa Morala. During an interview, a reporter asks, "According to our observations, you've never concealed or removed the old alphabetic tattoo below your collarbone. Does that mean it has a special meaning to you?" Michele shakes his head with a sneer. "Five years ago, my fiancee, Alma Rossito, looked down on me because the Giulianis had lost their power and authority among the families. So, she ran off to be with another rich man. "Whenever I wanted to give up, I'd be reminded of her betrayal as soon as I laid my eyes on this tattoo. "Now that I've lasted this long, I just want to personally ask her a question." Michele digs out his phone and dials the number he has pinned at the top of his contact list without hesitation. "Alma, do you regret dumping my ass the moment I was kicked out of my family?" I turn the camera toward the chaotic underground casino and reply lazily, "Yeah, I regret doing that to you, Don Giuliani. But I've lost every cent under my name on horse-betting. Can you transfer 50 thousand dollars to me first so that I can earn my money back?" Michele ends the call instantly before punching the mirror next to him. The cracks in the mirror happen to reflect the dark tattoo beneath his collar. What Michele doesn't know is that I'm being held in the casino by loan sharks. Five years ago, I had taken out a huge loan from them and bribed the necessary connections as an anonymous party. That was how Michele got the opportunity to turn the tides in his favor and become the mafia king.

My Scars Are Seeds of Glory Chapter 8
The surgery went smoothly. When I woke up, I was already in the ICU. My body now held one of his kidneys and part of his liver.The doctors said I was recovering well and could be discharged in a few weeks."What about Michele?" I asked.The doctor's eyes flickered. "Mr. Giuliani is still resting."A shiver ran through me, and a sense of dread settled deep in my chest.When I was strong enough to stand and walk a little, I demanded to see Michele.Underboss Edmondo Marcello stepped in front of me. His eyes were red and swollen. "Ms. Rossitto, Don Giuliani wants you to rest and recover.""Move," I snapped, shoving past him and staggering toward the next room.I opened the door, and the room was empty. The neat sheets and the silent machines made it look as if the room had never been used.I spun around and grabbed Edmondo. "Where is he?"Edmondo lowered his head, fighting to stifle his sobs. "Don Giuliani refused anesthesia, and his body couldn't take it. He didn't make it."

Nobody saw this coming. The woman they all had cursed as a gold-digger turned out to be Michele's benefactor all along.Public opinion flipped instantly. When Michele saw the news, he rushed to the hospital at once.The moment he saw me covered in tubes, his eyes reddened, and his voice shook beyond control. "Why didn't you tell me?"I didn't want him to worry, so I forced a small smile. "I didn't want to burden you."He gently lifted a corner of my hospital gown. As soon as he saw the wound, he immediately looked away.I shuddered. He noticed immediately and held me tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Alma, forgive me for how I've treated you these last few days…"I shook my head and said, "It's all in the past. Now that you know the truth, help me clear the debt. After that, we shouldn't meet in private anymore. You and Barbara are getting married. This isn't appropriate."Michele shook his head violently, trying to deny everything I had just said. "It's over b

Perhaps heaven took pity on me. That must have been why I was allowed to reunite with Michele, so I could leave with my heart at ease.One month was enough for me to put my affairs in order.After leaving the clinic, I contacted a funeral service. I booked the simplest cremation and a basic urn, instructing the staff to scatter the ashes into the sea when the time came.I had spent these past years on the run, cutting off contact with my family. I had nowhere left to go.It would be better to stay in these waters, quietly keeping watch over the person I wanted to protect.The funeral arrangements drained every last bit of money I had. When I saw I had only 35 cents left, tears slipped down my face.In the next instant, an unknown number flashed across my screen.The person launched straight into a tirade. "You gold-digging bitch. How dare you pretend to be Don Giuliani's benefactor? Have you no shame at all?"The voice was unfamiliar. I hung up and blocked the number.It struc

Michele froze when he saw the name at the top.He stared at me in disbelief, and for a moment, he forgot how to speak. Then he let out a cold laugh. "Go on, Alma. How long are you planning to keep up this act just to scam money?"His voice trembled slightly. I immediately clenched the donation receipt in my palm, and despite myself, my hand shook.In Michele's eyes, I was the woman who abandoned him at his lowest. Now that he had risen, he expected me to crawl back, spinning lies just to bleed him dry.I lifted my head and met his disgusted gaze. My body hurt so badly it had gone numb, yet my chest felt so tight I could barely breathe.He scoffed. "Alma, are you saying the benefactor was you? At least make your lies believable." He was usually a man of few words, but now his speech came out jumbled. That only made his panic more obvious.I forced a smile through the pain, masking it with a calm facade. "You figured it out. Looks like I'll need another way to get money from yo
