Third-Person POV

Carlos carried Nina out of the car himself. Her leg was in a cast, and tears still clung to her lashes.

He hired the best medical team in the city and had the sunniest and most lavishly decorated guest room in the estate prepared for her.

Once Nina was settled, Carlos stood in the hallway and took a long drag from his cigarette.

Smoke curled around him. Conflict flickered in his deep blue eyes.

He had to admit that he'd punished Alice too harshly the day before. But Nina had cri

    Carlos's face twisted in pain as he drew his pistol and fired behind him, killing the gunman with one precise shot.Reinforcements finally arrived and joined the camp's private security in pushing the attackers back toward the perimeter.The immediate danger had passed, but Carlos collapsed in front of me. Blood poured from his back, turning a large patch of yellow sand red.Carlos's face was as white as a sheet, and his lips trembled violently. He reached up to touch my cheek. "Alice, are you hurt..."I'd give my life for you... Don't hate me... Don't leave me..."My eyes stung as I looked at the man who might die at any moment. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, but I still didn't answer him.I administered basic first aid to stop the bleeding, then handed Carlos over to the medical team rushing toward us.As they lifted Carlos onto a stretcher, I spoke softly."Carlos, I don't hate you."A faint glimmer returned to Carlos's eyes."But I don't love you anymore."I looked him in t

    Alice's POV:Carlos had gone pale. "Alice, I won't consent to a divorce. Don't leave me..."We've been together so long. How can you do this to me?"I frowned. "Why do you get to betray me, but I don't get to divorce you? I know exactly what's going on between you and Nina, so don't bother trying to hide it from me!"Carlos's eyes were red, but he clung to his dignity as the Don. "Alice, can we talk in private?"I kept my face expressionless. "Sure. Maybe in six months, I'll sit down with you and have a proper conversation about our divorce."Carlos clenched his fists, his shoulders trembling slightly. "Alice, I know I was wrong. I had nothing to do with the rats. Nina gave the order. I've already had the two men who carried it out dumped in the ocean, and I've locked Nina up. You can deal with her however you want when you come home!"Come home with me, please? I'll agree to whatever you want!"At the sight of Carlos reduced to begging, the nearby members of the archaeological team tu

    Third-Person POVMeanwhile, back in Sicily, the Mancini family had descended into chaos.Nina kept pressuring Carlos, insisting that with Alice gone, someone needed to fill her role and socialize with the other Mafia Donnas.Despite fierce opposition from within the Mancini family, Carlos brought Nina to an exclusive dinner for the Mafia's inner circle.The event drew Europe's most powerful crime bosses and prominent politicians.Nina wore a loud, revealing red lace dress and flitted through the crowd.She had neither the polish nor the presence for such an occasion. While talking to the other wives, she repeatedly said the wrong thing and made a complete fool of herself. Worse, when she saw Carlos talking to another woman, she threw a tearful tantrum in front of everyone. She tugged at his sleeve and demanded that he take her home."This is absurd!"After dinner, the Mancini family's advisers pounded the table in outrage as Carlos sat with a hand pressed to his forehead. "Nina disgrac

    Alice's POV:Cairo, Egypt.The scorching sun beat down on endless yellow sand, and the air smelled of dust.Beneath a huge sun canopy at the Old Kingdom excavation site, I wore a dark brown work outfit and a wide-brimmed sun hat.I crouched before a stone stele half-buried in the sand. With a fine brush in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, I carefully cleared the dust from its surface bit by bit.A warm, deep voice came from above me."Alice, the inscription uses a rare script. Several professors on the team have spent two days studying it, and they still haven't deciphered it."I looked up, squinting into the glaring sun.It was Elwin Carrington, the sponsor of the international archaeological team."Mr. Carrington, I've already deciphered the first half," I said with a smile. "It's a eulogy written by an Egyptian pharaoh for his queen."I walked Elwin through the inscription in detail.Elwin listened quietly, admiration clear in his eyes. "Alice, I'm truly impressed by yo

Conflict flickered in his deep blue eyes.He had to admit that he'd punished Alice too harshly the day before. But Nina had cried and demanded that someone answer for it, and he'd had no choice.Carlos was sure Alice was lying in bed crying, waiting for him to come comfort her.He already knew what he would say. He would hold her, kiss away her tears, and tell her she was still the woman he loved most. As long as she stopped going after Nina, she would still be the Donna of the family.But when Carlos pushed open the bedroom door, a deathly silence greeted him.The room was so clean it was as if no one had ever lived th

    Screams kept echoing from the garden behind the estate.Before long, several of Carlos's bodyguards, all dressed in black, surrounded us.The lead bodyguard was expressionless. "Ms. Bellini. Donna. Please come with us. You both need to answer for what happened to Mrs. Russo."Sophia froze in panic, so I stepped in front of her. "I won't let you ruin Sophia's wedding. I'll go with you."I patted Sophia's hand reassuringly.As I turned to leave, two bodyguards seized my arms and shoved me forward.I learned that Carlos had been nearby when the cheetah broke its chain and lunged at Nina.Without hesitation, he drew his gun and shot the animal dead on the spot.The Bellinis were too intimidated by Carlos's fury to argue.
