Chapter 18

Love?

Hearing that word, I just found it utterly absurd.

Back when Vito treated our marriage as a bargaining chip, he had never once deigned to use that word.

Whenever I doubted his feelings, he would indulge me to the extreme.

I once thought that for a proud, cold-blooded Godfather-in-training like him, that word would be the hardest to say.

I was even confident that with enough passion, I could one day melt his cold heart and make him say those words to me.

But everything that followed proved

    The media and mob, terrified by the sudden knife attack, screamed and scattered.The scene descended into chaos. I was tripped in the pushing and shoving, falling to the ground.I watched, horrified, as Isabella approached with the dagger, but the trampling crowd pinned me down, making it impossible to get up.I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut, gritting my teeth and waiting for the sharp pain of a blade tearing through flesh.A sickening, wet thud. The sound of a blade sinking into flesh.But the pain I expected never came.Vito had thrown himself in front of me.Hot blood splattered on my collarbone, instantly staining my shirt red.Vito had taken the knife for me.The Moretti family's elite guards instantly pinned the crazed Isabella to the ground. The wail of sirens from police cars and ambulances was deafening.But Vito couldn't hear any of it. His eyes were only on me.He spoke through a mouthful of blood, his voice slurred. "Liliana, are you okay?""Sorry... I got your shirt

    Isabella's appearance sent the scene into an even greater frenzy.Someone quickly found the video from my birthday, where the Moretti family had publicly announced Isabella was taking over E-Customs.But the video of my crew defending me on opening day had been buried by Vito's people and was nowhere to be found.And so, all eyes, full of accusation and contempt, turned on me."Isn't that the Falcone Principessa? Married into the Moretti family and she still has to steal from her own sister-in-law?""Exactly! What does some Mafia princess who only knows how to race and party know about design? She's just jealous of a true talent like Isabella!""No wonder she has to resort to plagiarism. She's just an uneducated brat at heart!"There were organizers among them who were particularly good at riling up the crowd.They fanned the flames of the audience's emotions while closing in on me."It's because of empty-headed heiresses like her that it's getting harder for regular people to get by."

    The months in London allowed my wounds to gradually heal. I decided to restart the automotive design dreams that had been forced to a halt.I sent my resume to the top-tier European racing team owned by Ryder's family, applying for the position of custom sports car designer.To my surprise, I received a reply quickly. I got the job.Ryder was already leaning against his supercar, holding a bouquet of red roses behind his back.When I came out, my face beaming, he presented them to me. "I had a feeling this beautiful lady was having a good day. Congratulations in advance!"I laughed, taking the flowers. "As expected from the team owner. Your intel travels faster than your cars.""You knew?" He was a bit stunned, then looked at my expression nervously."I swear, you getting the job had nothing to do with me. The E-Customs you founded is legendary in the tuning world.""Of course I know that." I mimicked his usual arrogant eyebrow raise. "My designs don't need a back door."The warm sun s

After everything had been torn apart. After I had finally found a new beginning.He was standing in front of me, telling me he loved me.How dramatic and ridiculous!At this moment, I felt not even a ripple in my heart. I actually wanted to laugh.I just felt that he had ruined my mood and my barbecue with Ryder.I wanted to close the door immediately and go back to my meal.Vito, as if immune to p

    Sizzle.Top-grade wagyu sizzled on the grill, its outer layer crisping while the inside remained tender. The rich aroma filled the rainy night air on the balcony.I stared at the meat, my every breath filled with a craving for the delicious food.Ryder expertly cut the cooked meat into small pieces, paired it with his handmade sauce, and pushed it toward me. I exaggeratedly pressed my hands together and bowed to him in thanks."Ryder, you're not just a master car modifier, your barbecue skills are insane.""Ever thought about quitting the racing world to open a barbecue joint? I'd definitely be your most loyal VIP customer!"Ryder chuckled at my antics, pouring me a glass of fruit wine. "You haven't changed at all," he murmured."Huh?" I looked up, my mouth full. "Do I... know you?"He seemed lost in thought, gazing at me with his deep blue eyes."A year ago, at the Monte Carlo circuit. You and your racing team friends came to the club to hang out. I was there too.""After the race, we

    The London rain was cold and sharp.The Moretti family's men stood trembling in the downpour, holding black umbrellas.The family's capos had all assumed the Boss was in London to handle friction with a rival outfit, not to chase after the ex-wife he had cast aside.After he'd coughed up blood in the street, the family elders put immense pressure on him to take the private jet back to New York for immediate treatment.Even Vito had initially thought that if he just bowed his head and admitted he was wrong, he could bring Liliana back to New York without a fuss.He had even calmly reviewed arms deal contracts on the private jet, planning how he would punish her for her disobedience once he had tied her up and brought her back.But now, he didn't even glance at his pleading subordinates.He pulled the Beretta from his waistband, his eyes red as he roared, "Get out! All of you, get out!""Anyone who mentions going back to New York again, I'll put a bullet in their head!"He could feel his
