"Where's Donna? Is she asleep?" "My Don... Donna Seraphina has been gone for three days. She told me to give you this." Seraphina Reed. The day I found out I was pregnant, my Mafia husband, Lorenzo, declared in front of the city's elite that our marriage was nothing but my "calculated scheme." I waited anxiously and helplessly for his explanation, but only received a taunting message from his secretary, Victoria. "Your husband isn't coming home tonight. Do you know why?" "Because he's with me, handling some… private business." At that moment, loving him so deeply I would have given him everything, I felt like the world's biggest joke. It turned out everyone thought I married him for money. They bet I would break, they bet I would cry, I would kneel and beg for a scrap of his love. But I didn't. I simply went back to the room, took off my wedding ring, and sealed it in an envelope along with my pregnancy report. Then, I left the cage that had trapped me for ten years. Later, he went crazy looking for me. He turned over every port, locked down every airport, and mobilized the entire family's power. He offered up everything he had, just to beg for my love.

The Calculated Love Was Gone Chapter 11
Seraphina's POVThe bathroom was filled with orange-scented bubbles, the heating turned up high.Leo, a year and a half old, sat naked in the ceramic tub that was like a small boat to him, giggling and splashing water everywhere.And Lorenzo, the Don of New York, stood beside the tub, completely at a loss.The hands that had signed multi-billion-dollar contracts and pulled countless triggers now fumbled with a small yellow sponge.Looking at this soft little creature, he was afraid to even touch him, terrified that the slightest force would break this priceless treasure."Gently."I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, coldly directing him.I had to suppress a smile at his clumsy attempts."You test the water temperature with your elbow, not your palm. You can't feel the heat properly that way. That's common sense, Don Marino."Lorenzo reacted as if he had received a divine command.He hastily rolled up the sleeves of his expensive, half-soaked shirt, revealing his taut forearms
The Calculated Love Was Gone Chapter 10
Seraphina's POVFor a full week, I waited for the Marino family's thunderous response.I hired the best security firm in Paris and consulted with top-tier international lawyers.I even hid a can of pepper spray under my pillow.I expected Lorenzo to do what he had always done: surround my apartment with helicopters or use aggressive legal tactics to take Leo.But nothing happened.No black SUVs, no threatening letters, no legal summons.Just a dead silence.This abnormal quiet made me even more anxious.Then, on the seventh night.A storm broke over Paris, thunder rattling the windows.I went to the balcony to close them and my gaze inadvertently fell on the street below.In the dim yellow halo of a streetlamp stood a lone figure.He had no umbrella, and there was no one with him.He just stood there, a rigid silhouette in the downpour, head tilted up, staring at my window like a penitent statue.My heart clenched.Was he insane?That was Lorenzo Marino, the most powerful man in the wo

Seraphina's POV"Don, we've confirmed the location."Marco's cautious voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece.Lorenzo sat in an unremarkable black Mercedes, staring through the window at the Tuileries Garden, his palms slick with sweat.This was one of the safest, most affluent districts in Paris. Her choice to settle here was clearly well thought out.On a bench, the woman in a beret was reading a book, her profile so serene and beautiful it made his breath catch.And at her feet, a little boy in overalls was toddling after a flock of fat pigeons.His clear laughter drifted on the wind, each sound a hammer blow to Lorenzo's heart.That was his wife and son.The little one, in his haste, tripped. The colorful leather ball in his hand slipped from his grasp and rolled across the grass, coming to a stop right at Lorenzo's feet.Lorenzo's entire body went rigid.The little boy toddled after it on unsteady legs, calling out in a high, sweet voice, "Ball! Ball!"Closer.Lorenzo watched t

Lorenzo's POVIt began in a magnificent Mafia estate, with a young woman trapped inside, gazing out a window...My movements slowed.A chilling familiarity washed over me.I quickly skimmed through the descriptions of life in Paris until my eyes locked on page 158.[It was our second wedding anniversary gala. He stood in the spotlight, wearing that custom-made Italian black tuxedo, like a lofty god.Facing the reporter's question, a mocking curve played on his lips. His voice cut through the speakers, and it cut through my heart."Do you really think a calculated scheme to seize power could ever be described as love?"]The whiskey glass slipped from my grasp, shattering on the floor as ice and amber liquid bled onto the expensive Persian carpet.Lily jumped. "Lorenzo? What's wrong?"I didn't answer. My hand was shaking violently, as if I'd been struck by lightning."Impossible," I muttered, reading on.
