Synopsis

Tragic Love

Obsessive

Bias

Winning Back the Wife

Face Slapping

On Christmas night, I've roasted a whole turkey and paired it with the finest red wine. Then, I quietly wait for my boyfriend, Don Carlo Carlione from the Carlione family, to come home to me. When Carlo steps through the front door, he doesn't even spare me a glance. Instead, he throws his blood-stained coat onto the couch and starts undoing his cufflinks. "Something important is going on at the family HQ tonight, so I can't celebrate Christmas with you tonight." He sounds very casual, as though he's talking about the weather. I don't respond to him at all. Instead, I just slice my turkey quietly. Later on at 1:00 am, Carlo's ex-girlfriend, Lucia Caruso, uploads a social media post right on time. In the photo, she can be seen resting her head against Carlo's shoulder. The background shows a night sky filled with fireworks overcasting a grand bridge. The caption reads, "He told me he can always keep me company as long as I say the word." I don't hurl my phone in a fit of anger, nor do I call Carlo to demand for answers hysterically. Instead, I just leave a like on the post. 30 seconds later, Carlo calls me. For once, his voice is tinged with a hint of alarm. "This is just a misunderstanding! I'll definitely celebrate next Christmas with you!" I just shake my head with a soft sigh. "It's a shame that there's no next Christmas for us ever again."

Chapter 1
When Carlo Carlione came back, Christmas was already three days behind us.In the past, I would always wait at the manor gate for him, wearing my best dress and carefully applied makeup, even if the winter wind turned my lips blue. This time, I did nothing of the sort.Carlo texted, "Where are you?"I was eating lunch. I casually replied, "I'm at home, having lunch."Just as I set down my fork, Carlo stepped through the door. Travel had worn him down, and snow clung to the hem of his coat.Carlo said, "I haven't eaten yet. Make me the pasta I like."In the past, I would have dropped everything to fry a steak or cook pasta, spending ten minutes just on the plating. But now, I simply answered, "We have a chef at home. Ask them to make it."Carlo frowned but held his temper. "I know you're still upset about Christmas, but don't take it out on me. I haven't slept in three days."I dried my hands and said, "I'm not angry."He gave me a skeptical look. "Lucia is alone in that city.

As the night was coming to a close, a friend tapped me on the shoulder. "I thought you'd forget about us once you got a boyfriend. Don't let that happen again."I chuckled and nodded. "No way. Just tell me when the next get-together is, and I'll be there."Over the years with Carlo, my life had revolved entirely around him. I handled his business, his family, and even his daily meals. My own friends and social circle had slowly faded away. In hindsight, it all seemed almost foolish.I walked in around 2:00 am. As I switched on the light, I froze. Carlo was sitting on the couch, and for a brief second, I wondered if I was imagining him.He looked at me, taking in my drunken state, but made no move to help. His expression was full of contempt. "Anna, can you try to act sensibly? If you're jealous, just say it. You're only making me look down on you by drinking like this."Feeling lightheaded, I clutched the dining table for support and eased myself into a seat.Carlo sniffed the

I went to the office and handed in my resignation.I had chosen this job in the first place because it was close to Carlo's family. I thought that once we got married, it would make it easier for me to look after them. Now, that reason no longer mattered. My boss tried several times to persuade me to stay, but I was firm in my decision to leave.A few days ago, one of the applications I had sent out finally received a response. It was from a company in Porta Nova, a place that had once been my dream destination when I graduated.Back then, I had given up that opportunity for Carlo. Thankfully, it was not too late now.After resigning, I was busy handing over my work. The first thing I did was call my friend to share the news.She was happy for me. After a brief silence, she asked, "What about Don Carlione? Is he going to Porta Nova with you?"I let out a bitter smile. "No. It's just me. We're breaking up." My parents passed away long ago. Aside from a few friends in Astonia, Ca

While lying in bed, I came across Lucia's social media post. It read, "Grateful to God. After everything, you were always there."In the comments, Carlo's Underboss, Marco Russo, had written, "Seeing you two happy makes me happy."I scrolled through the likes. Every member of the Carlione family had liked Lucia's post. They had never thought highly of me. In their eyes, I was the one who had come between Carlo and Lucia. They believed the two of them would have been happier without me.Carlo himself had commented, "Everything happens for the best."I stared blankly at their interactions.One of Carlo's friends commented, "Stop posting. What if Anna sees this? With her temper, she'll blow up."Others replied, "Exactly. If she sees it, she'll definitely pick another fight with you."Their words pierced me like icy needles. To them, I was a hysterical, unreasonable woman who overreacted to everything. His friends and family mocked me openly, and he couldn't be bothered to defend me

A flicker of surprise crossed Carlo's eyes. He clearly hadn't expected me to reject his closeness. In the past, this would have been exactly what I had longed for.Anger and embarrassment flashed across his face. He slammed the door to the guest bedroom and stalked off to another room. Once he was gone, I collapsed into bed and fell asleep almost immediately. Since I had stopped overthinking everything, even falling asleep had become easy.The next morning, my godfather, Giovanni Esposito, called. Somehow, he had heard that I was headed to Porta Nova and offered to see me off. I politely declined, but he insisted that he had already reserved a table and wanted me to join some family friends for a small gathering. At that point, I could hardly refuse.When I arrived that evening, Carlo was there as well. As a friend of Giovanni, his presence wasn't surprising. What was unexpected was Lucia. Even in such a private gathering, Carlo had brought her along.When Carlo saw me, he gestur

"Wait, what did you just say? Porta Nova? Who's going to Porta Nova?" Carlo asked.Giovanni explained patiently, "You didn't know? Anna's going to Porta Nova. If nothing goes wrong, this will likely be the final time we drink in Astonia. After this, it will be hard to see each other again."Giovanni didn't know about my relationship with Carlo, so he wasn't surprised by Carlo's reaction.Carlo's eyes welled up with tears. Without thinking, he stood and pulled me into the hallway. I stood against the wall, silently meeting his gaze.He broke the silence. "Porta Nova? What does this mean? Why didn't you discuss it with me? Why didn't you tell me?" His voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of disbelief and fear.I caught on to what he meant and said lightly, "Oh, that. You were with Lucia for Christmas when I got the notice, so I didn't want to bother you."My reply was distant and polite, instantly putting space between us.Carlo's expression faltered, but he still held my hand.

I stared at the screen, lost in thought. This felt like the first time Carlo had actually taken the initiative to tell me his plans. In the past, whenever I asked who would be at his gatherings, he always acted like I was prying. He would snap, "I don't need to report everything to you, do I? Aren't you tired of this?" I had to coax him for a while before he finally calmed down, though he kept insisting that I stay out of his affairs. I replied lightly, "Okay."Carlo repeated himself, "It's really because she kept throwing up, and it got too late, that I stayed over. Don't read too much into it." I sent "Okay" again, and after that, he didn't send another message.That night, I ended up vomiting in the bathroom several times. Lucia wasn't the only one drunk tonight. I was, too. I was usually fine with wine, but tonight, just a few glasses of whiskey were enough to knock me out. I kept vomiting until late into the night, and even after crawling back into bed, I tossed and tu

I explained calmly, "I'm going to take care of some paperwork for going abroad. I really can't get away. Your Consigliere is getting engaged, so it makes sense for you to be there. I'll be fine on my own."He probed gently, "If you're not going, should I take Lucia?"In the past, just hearing that name would have made my heart race, but now I only smiled lightly. "Sure."He searched my face for any sign of jealousy but found nothing.Carlo couldn't help but ask, "Anna, why aren't you even a little jealous?"I stared at him, noticing how strange he seemed. Hadn't he always hated it when I got jealous?"I have nothing to be jealous about," I said. "She's your friend, and she gets along with your family. Isn't it natural for you to take her?"He opened his mouth a few times as if to argue, then finally said, "Then I'll take you to handle your paperwork tomorrow morning first."I didn't refuse. I was dizzy and didn't want to drive, so having him take me was fine.Carlo reached out

Lucia continued, "If you don't come pick me up, I'll have to walk there myself. Can you really stand to let that happen?"A flicker of hesitation crossed Carlo's face.In the past, I probably would have been asked to get out of the car immediately. Whenever Lucia needed him, he would say, "It's easy for you to get a cab here. Her side is too remote, so I have to go pick her up. You can take a cab yourself."Sensing his hesitation, I said thoughtfully, "Go ahead and pick her up. Just drop me off at any convenient intersection."Carlo grew a little anxious. "What about you? Never mind, I'll take you there first."I smiled lightly, feeling a sense of relief. "It's fine. I'll take a cab myself. Just stop at the curb up ahead."I pointed toward the street ahead. Carlo paused for a moment, then finally pulled the car over.I unbuckled my seatbelt. Just as I was about to get out, he suddenly called after me, "Anna, I'll be home earlier today."I nodded in acknowledgment.He looked at

I told him, "I've already bought the plane ticket for next Saturday."A tense silence filled the room.Carlo broke the silence first and anxiously said, "Anna, we need to have a serious talk. I can't stand how things are between us right now."I asked, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"He had always wanted me to be more understanding, but now that I was, he seemed dissatisfied.He narrowed his eyes. "Is this because of Lucia?"I said nothing.He frowned and continued, "If my relationship with her bothers you, I can cut it off, but you can't keep acting so indifferent. Can you at least care enough to let me know how you feel?"His eyes searched mine, as if this request required all the courage he could muster.I answered calmly, "You're overthinking. I really don't mind anymore. It's your choice who you associate with, and I have no right to interfere."I never expected him to offer to cut ties with Lucia so easily. In the past, no matter how we argued or even threate
