The Don Made Us Wait Five Hours, So I Left Chapter 10
"I only took back what always belonged to Sicily."At that moment, Victor's last defenses collapsed.He let go of his cane.Once, the whole West District had trembled at his name.Now he sank to his knees on the floor with no dignity left at all."Cecilia, I was wrong! I know I was wrong, I swear!"I'll give you all the territory I have left in the West District. I don't want anything anymore!"Please, just let me stay by your side. I'll wait on you hand and foot. I'll be your dog if that's what you want."You can't be this cruel. You can't take everything from me..."I looked down at Victor, the former Don I'd once loved, the man who'd killed that love.I felt nothing at all.Once, he'd shielded me with his body in a storm of bullets, choosing to be hurt himself rather than let anything happen to me.In the end, his own pathetic arrogance and stupidity had buried that man.I couldn't even be bothered to kick him away. I just lifted my chin.Luca immediately stepped forward and kicked

"You're using some pretty boy to make me jealous, thinking that'll force me to back down?"Three days later, in the dead of night.Desperate, Victor had bribed a guard on the estate's outer perimeter and forced his way into the residence where I kept my office.Breathing hard, he stared at me as I sat behind the mahogany desk."Cecilia, stop playing these childish games."I know the Bellini family has been having cash-flow problems lately. Those old men are pressuring you behind the scenes, aren't they?"Come back to me, and I'll hand over the three most profitable arms-smuggling routes at the West District port tomorrow."I'm the Don of the West District. Only I can give you the strongest backing."I put down my pen and leaned back in the wide leather chair.He looked so pleased with his own cleverness that I couldn't help laughing.I picked up the coffee on my desk and took a slow sip."Victor, are you counting on that hidden route through the South District docks?"Or are you waitin

"Cecilia, I knew you still couldn't let me go."Six months later, at our estate in Sicily, the sea breeze carried the scent of citrus across the terrace.I stood at the top of the steps, looking down at the uninvited guest in front of me.Victor was leaning on a custom-made cane.He was frighteningly thin. His sharp cheekbones gave his once-handsome face a dark, obsessive look.In his agitation, he took two steps forward on his cane and nearly fell on the stone steps.All the smoking had left his voice rough."Cecilia..."Lilia wasn't involved in any of the important parts of the blood pact ceremony that day."I had 9,900 black roses flown in from the Netherlands overnight. I checked every one myself."I sealed every invitation to the gang bosses by hand with the Castellano wax seal."I went over the security plan for that underground meeting room with my men again and again until it was airtight."I thought... you were just mad at me. I thought you'd show up in the end for sure."I ju

"Donna, we've tapped into West District Central Hospital's encrypted communications channel."Once the plane reached cruising altitude, Luca came over to my leather seat.He respectfully handed me a specially modified tablet.An audio waveform flickered across the screen.I took the earbuds and put them in.Isabella's hoarse, frantic cries came through at once.So did Lilia's broken sobbing."My son is in surgery, so drop that sickening act!"Lilia was clearly startled into silence for a few seconds.Then her fragile, affected voice returned, tinged with disbelief."Donna Castellano, what do you mean? I'm just worried about Victor."Isabella scoffed."Do you really think I'm blind? You think I can't see the cheap tricks you've been pulling these past few years?"I was blind before. I looked down on Cecilia, so I let you hang around Victor. I wanted to use you to knock her down a peg."Now I see what a fool I was. I drove away a Sicilian queen who could have held our whole world togethe

"Cecilia, are you trying to start a rebellion?"Isabella's furious shout pulled me back from my memories.But her anger soon gave way to a desperate plea."Cecilia, I've been a foolish old woman. Whatever went wrong, it's all my fault."You never showed up to the blood pact ceremony this morning. Victor went out of his mind and smashed the whole place."But Lilia showed up wearing your custom wedding dress, and she took your seat."When Victor saw her, he pulled his gun and shouted that this wasn't what you'd arranged."He stormed out of the venue and drove off to find you, but then... then he came under heavy fire in an ambush on the East District bridge..."He kept saying your name until he lost consciousness and they carried him into the ambulance."I'm begging you. He saved your life once. For that alone, won't you please come to the hospital and see him?"He... he's lost so much blood. The doctors say he might not make it."There was no trace of her usual high-and-mighty tone in m

"Victor's people didn't get suspicious, did they?"I stood on the tarmac at the private airfield as a strong wind whipped the hem of my trench coat.Luca pressed his earpiece and reported in a low voice."Don't worry. We fed false intel to every West District spy and sent them all to the South District docks."The old Don and your brother are already on board. The flight path is all set."I nodded and was about to climb the stairs when the phone in my pocket started buzzing like crazy.The screen flashed a red code, the highest priority level.It was Victor's mother, Isabella Castellano.I let the first three calls ring out. When the shrill ring started a fourth time, I took my time answering.Isabella's voice shook with panic, and she sounded close to tears."Cecilia, where are you? Bring your people here now... Something's happened to Victor!"I looked out at the horizon and cut her off, my voice flat."Donna Castellano, I've already torn up my marriage pact with Victor."If there's
