On the night of the Benedetto family's Harvest Festival, my Mafia husband, Salvatore, told me to bring our son, Giuseppe, to the family gathering. He said his madre had finally accepted us into the Benedetto bloodline. I was trembling with excitement in our little cottage as I dressed Giuseppe in his finest little suit. He had carved a single wooden rose by hand, a project he'd saved for over five years. He said he would present it to his grandmother at the celebration, a plea for her to accept our place in the family. But the moment we stepped into the stone manor, I saw Carmela. Salvatore had her pinned against an oak barrel in a deep, searing kiss. In the moonlight, her hand was undoing his tie. In front of everyone, Salvatore smiled and gently pushed her away. He walked toward the family members gathered in a semicircle and raised a crystal glass. "Tonight, in addition to celebrating the harvest, I have an important announcement." "I would like to introduce you all to the woman I have married in the eyes of God and the Church." "Miss Carmela Torrino." Before I could even process his words, Giuseppe tore his hand from mine and rushed forward. "Papa, what are you saying?" "Isn't my mother your wife?"

The Broken Signet Ring Chapter 9
Within a week, the Benedetto family declared complete bankruptcy.Salvatore sat slumped in a broken chair in the abandoned winery, while outside, workers were packing up the equipment, preparing to leave.When Rosaria walked into the dilapidated office, she raised her ivory cane in fury to strike Salvatore.But he shoved her, sending her sprawling onto the broken glass covering the floor."You old woman, you dare come here to lecture me?""Lecture you? I'm your mother, and it's long overdue!""If you hadn't pushed me, forced me to deny Giuseppe at the celebration, forced me to marry that viper Carmela...""My son wouldn't be dead, Lucia wouldn't hate me, and she certainly wouldn't have married Romano to destroy us out of vengeance.""It was you. All of this was caused by your greed and your cruelty."In that moment, Salvatore finally tore away the last shred of respect he had for his mother.When the family had fallen, all pretense was worthless.He didn't understand why his mother had

On the first anniversary of Giuseppe's death, a gaunt and haggard Salvatore arrived at the cemetery.Between the Romano family's relentless vendetta and our permanent break, the former Don's spirit had been broken. He had spent an entire year lost in nightmares and alcohol.He looked at the white marble headstone carved with Giuseppe's name, and his eyes instantly turned red.But no matter how much pain he displayed, I would never feel a shred of pity for him again.When he tried to lay down his bouquet of white roses, I snatched it from his hand and threw it on the ground.A man who did not deserve the name "father" deserved only a vicious slap across the face, which I delivered without hesitation."Salvatore Benedetto, you still have the nerve to come here and pay your respects.""You didn't love Giuseppe when he was alive, but now that he's dead, you come here with your false sincerity.""Get out. Don't defile his resting place."Salvatore let out a ragged, animalistic sob, tears ro

Salvatore hung up the call and collapsed onto the floor of the empty villa, weeping.He looked around the room that had once been his sanctuary, a place that held his most precious memories with Lucia.Only in this secret safe house could he take off the mask of the Don and be an ordinary man.But he had trampled that true love with his own hands, all for the laughable interests of his family, for the so-called position of heir.He began to regret it. If it hadn't been for inheriting the winery empire, for blindly following his mother's iron-fisted laws, Giuseppe would not have died because of his own father's cold-bloodedness.Only now did Salvatore grasp a bloody truth.The Benedetto throne, bought with Giuseppe's life, was a poison that tormented him.He realized the mother and son had meant far more to him than the so-called honor of his family.But this awakening came too late, and the blood debt was already too great.He drove his black Alfa Romeo at a maniacal speed along the wi

At dawn the next day, Salvatore awoke early and hurried to the family headquarters.In the ancient stone meeting hall, Rosaria gathered all the family capos for the bloodline succession ceremony.According to ancient Sicilian tradition, the control of the entire winery empire would be formally transferred to the new Don.As soon as he became the true head of the family, Salvatore was desperate to leave the estate.He would find Lucia, and as was his right, formally bring her and their son into the bloodline.However, just as he stepped through the iron gates of the manor, his Madre coldly blocked his path."My heir, where are you going in such a hurry?"Salvatore no longer bothered to hide it. He answered openly, "To bring back my child, of course. And my woman.""Oh, my heavens! What a pity!"Rosaria let out a sinister laugh, her eyes filled with a cruel, serpentine satisfaction.Seeing her expression, a sense of foreboding began to coil in Salvatore's gut."Madre, what do you find so

Salvatore trembled violently, his hand dropping from Carmela’s.The diamond wedding ring, embossed with the Benedetto family crest, vibrated and rolled off onto the marble floor.His face ashen, he rushed down from the altar and seized the collar of Marco's black formal suit."Is this true? Or are y

The murderers of my son were inside.My eyes bloodshot, I kicked open the villa's carved door.Hearing the commotion, Salvatore instantly rolled off Carmela.His neck was covered in bite marks, his body still hard with arousal.The moment he saw me, consumed by rage, he began interrogating me before

Fighting through the searing pain in my body, I staggered to Giuseppe's side.His eyes were closed, his chest barely moving.I gathered his cold body in my arms, my vision blurred with tears, and ran from Benedetto manor.But Carmela had already ordered the family enforcers to guard the manor gate.
The Broken Signet Ring Chapter 2
Just then, Salvatore's madre, Rosaria, slowly approached.She wore a long, black velvet gown and clutched an ivory-handled cane.She surveyed my son and me as if we were two stray dogs that had wandered into a sanctuary."This is the sacred ground of the Benedetto bloodline. What makes filthy mongre
