The Don Who Couldn’t Keep Me Chapter 12
During that time, Sofia was locked in the villa's basement, enduring every kind of torment. She went hungry, barely slept, and every cruel thing she had ever done to me had come back to crush her a hundredfold.When Cesare stepped into the basement, she lunged at him like a drowning woman clinging to a lifeline. She scrambled across the floor, wrapping herself around his leg, sobbing uncontrollably. "Cesare, I was wrong! I-I know I was wrong! I won't bother you or Elena ever again. I'll stay far away. I'll never appear in your life. Please just let me go."Cesare looked down at her, his expression cold and unreadable. There wasn't a flicker of mercy in his eyes. Without another word, he tossed a stack of photos onto the floor in front of her.Sofia's eyes widened, and her face drained of color when she saw the photos. They revealed the past she had tried so hard to bury. It showed how she had struggled in Sicily, trading her body for resources, ruining her reputation, and only ret

As Cesare watched me walk away without looking back, he sank into his chair and was unable to hold back his tears any longer.He knew that this time he had truly lost me, and he would never get me back.He stayed in the coffee shop for a long while, only getting up when an employee informed him it was closing time.Outside, a heavy storm had rolled in. Rain came down in sheets, cold and unforgiving, but he didn't bother with an umbrella. He let it drench him completely as he wandered through the streets without direction or purpose.He didn't know how long he had walked. He only realized where his feet had carried him when he looked up and found himself standing below my apartment building.He didn't dare ring the bell. Instead, he curled up near my door like a lost child, whispering my name again and again."Elena... Elena..."Rain mixed with tears, blurring his vision.He was exhausted. At some point, he fell asleep slumped against the wall.When he woke again, Cesare found

On the plane, Cesare ran through the moment he would see me over and over in his mind, rehearsing countless apologies. He had even prepared a redesigned Family crest necklace, planning to propose.When the plane landed, he went straight to the address Luna had given him, heading for the coffee shop tucked away in Chicago's Little Italy.When he pushed open the door, the bell chimed softly.Then, he looked up and saw me instantly.A single month had changed me.I was no longer the woman who wore fitted office suits and moved carefully around him. I sat in the corner in loose, comfortable clothes, my hair gathered in a simple knot that revealed the delicate curve of my neck. I had a faint smile on my lips, and my gaze was calm and composed.Cesare's heart skipped a beat, and he held back the urge to run to me and pull me into his arms. He walked over slowly, his voice tense and unsure."It's been a while, Elena."I looked up at him, expression calm and unreadable, and simply nodd
The Don Who Couldn’t Keep Me Chapter 9
Early the next morning, Cesare drove back to the estate.The moment he reached the gates, he saw Sofia on her knees in the dirt, held down by two bodyguards. Her hair was a mess, her face streaked with tears, and she was still cursing me under her breath."Elena is a piece of trash. She's the reason I ended up like this."Members of the Family passing by slowed to stare, whispering to one another.A few maids who had always been close to me finally lost their patience."Ms. Costa, you're out of line. Ms. Carter worked here for four years and never did anything wrong. You were the one bullying her.""Exactly. Elena never fought back because she has a good temper, yet you kept pushing her."Sofia was stunned speechless. When she spotted Cesare approaching, she scrambled across the gravel and clung to his leg like a lifeline."Cesare, look at them. They're all ganging up on me for Elena. Fire them. Fire all of them."Cesare kicked her away. His eyes were ice-cold. "I told you to

"Cesare...?" Sofia covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief.His gaze was icy, utterly devoid of the tenderness he had once shown her. Any trace of leniency was gone. He felt nothing but revulsion for the woman in front of him. If it weren't for her, he never would have lost me."Why is it always Elena!" Sofia cried, completely losing control. "She's just a secretary! Some nobody! I knew the first day I got back that she had feelings for you. It's better she's gone! You said I'm the only one you love! What does that even mean now?"Cesare didn't answer. Once he faced his own feelings, he didn't even have the energy to argue with Sofia.But Sofia had been spoiled. The more he ignored her, the angrier she got at me. She grabbed the cup and decorations from the desk, smashing them one after another on the floor. "You're in love with her! You want her back!" she shrieked, almost unhinged.Cesare looked at her and finally understood. How had he been so blind? He had hurt me
The Don Who Couldn’t Keep Me Chapter 7
When Cesare returned to the estate, a few of the secretaries immediately surrounded him, handing over stacks of documents. "Don Valeri, here are the recent financial reports," one said. "This is the list of Families withdrawing from cooperation," another added. "And here's the update on the maids. A batch of senior staff are leaving."He flipped through the papers, headache building with every page. He slammed them onto the desk and roared, "I've been gone for just a few days, and the Family is already falling apart? You didn't even try to hold onto our business partners?"The room fell silent. After a long pause, one secretary spoke up timidly, "Don Valeri, Ms. Carter usually handles these tasks."He instinctively wanted to call her name, then froze, remembering I was gone. His face darkened further. "If she can do it, why can't any of you?"No one dared answer. Everyone knew that for four years, I had run everything flawlessly, keeping the Family in perfect order.
