Chapter 6

Penulis: Poppy Pop
After Scarpa's "love-struck" routine failed, he unraveled.

He stripped Elisa of every position she held, annulled their engagement in front of the elders, and had her kicked out of the estate.

Elisa refused to accept it. She stormed the manor, screaming, only to be dragged out by soldati. She was humiliated.

She couldn't understand how the man who once put her on a pedestal could turn so cold overnight.

Meanwhile, Scarpa turned into a stalker. He showed up every day beneath the Corleone headquarters, outside my apartment, and even tailed my car.

He sent me flowers and gifts. Everything that I used to like.

Sometimes, he stood in the rain all night just to beg for a few minutes of my time.

He lowered himself to the dust.

People in the Corleone family started whispering. When they looked at me, there was sympathy in their eyes.

After all, watching an iron-blooded Don abase himself for one woman was unsettling.

Even Chris couldn't help teasing me.

"So, what's Scarpa playing at

  • The Don's Biggest Mistake: Sending Me to Jail   Chapter 7

    Scarpa broke down. Like a wounded animal, he roared and lunged at me."Viviana! You snake! I'll kill you!"Chris's men were faster.They slammed him to the ground, pinning him as he thrashed and screamed. His eyes were bloodshot.I looked down at him. Not an ounce of warmth in my eyes. "Take him away."Those two words sealed his fate.…Five hours later, all 17 core Falcone assets were officially transferred to the Corleone famiglia under debt acquisition.The celebration was held at the Corleone estate.People surrounded me, offering praise and congratulations.I felt strangely detached, so I made an excuse and stepped out onto the terrace.Chris followed. He handed me a glass of whiskey."What's wrong? You've got your revenge. Are you still not satisfied?""I am," I said, swirling the liquid. "It just feels… unreal. For five years, I lived like a bullet. Now that the target is gone, where should this bullet land?"Chris turned toward me. Neon light cut across his face.

    I walked into the Falcone famiglia meeting wearing a sharp white suit.The elders froze the moment they saw me.Their faces were a mix of shock, disdain, and wariness.Scarpa sat at the head of the table. His expression was dark.Elisa was seated next to him. She bristled like a cat that had been stepped on. "Viviana? What are you doing here? This is a famiglia meeting. You're an outsider—""An outsider?"I stopped in front of her and dropped a document folder onto the table. "Open your eyes, Signora."The papers slid out. They were ownership certificates for two Nimbussa docks and the profit rights for the two casinos.At the bottom of the documents was my signature."These assets never belonged to the Falcones. They've always been under my offshore company. The famiglia's investment was a cover, and Don knows it."I looked at Scarpa. His lips pressed tight. He couldn't say a word.He remembered. Back then, I was the one who insisted on isolating these assets to avoid risks

    Scarpa was stunned. He looked as if he had been doused in ice water. "That's impossible," he muttered. "You're making this up. You're lying to me!"My smile widened. "Lying? You give yourself too much credit, Don Falcone. I met you when I was seven. You taught me to read and shoot. But my father took 11 bullets for you."Before he died, he told me that you were my new father. That my blood had to flow for you."I lit a cigarette. Smoke blurred his ashen face. "So, I bled. I traded five years for the famiglia. Too bad I saved a thankless wolf."Scarpa staggered as if he had lost all his strength. He stared at me. Agony and disbelief tore through his expression."So… This was all part of Chris's plan?""That's right. That shipment was never meant to land. It was a coffin he prepared for you," I said, crushing the cigarette under my heel. "Even he didn't expect me to break the board by sacrificing myself."He admired that. That's why he waited for me and made me his partner. We'r

    After Scarpa stormed off, it didn't take long for Elisa's call to come through.She wanted to meet up at the old Igniterrian bar we used to frequent.I agreed.Some debts needed settling.When I arrived, Elisa was in the far booth. She was in the latest Chanel suit. A diamond the size of a pigeon's egg glittered on her finger.She elegantly swirled her cocktail. Her smugness was barely concealed in her eyes."Viviana, it's been five years. You look… worn down."Her gaze lingered on my hands. "Those hands used to play the piano. I suppose they're more suited to scrubbing floors now."I said nothing and let her performance play out."Honestly, I'm here to apologize," she said, setting her glass down with feigned guilt. "What happened back then was my fault. I shouldn't have fallen for Scarpa. But we can't control our feelings. Don't worry, Scarpa said he'll make it up to you. The two streets in Nelcaro are yours. It's enough to live out your days."She looked at me expectantly.

  • The Don's Biggest Mistake: Sending Me to Jail   Chapter 2

    My first meeting with Chris felt like a dark joke.It was my third year in jail. I was on the prison factory floor.I was staring at the newspaper, lost in Falcone's midyear financials, when a voice sounded above my head."Leverage is too high. If I were you, I'd dump the two strip clubs and cash out immediately."I looked up to see a man in a tailored suit.He didn't look like an inmate. In fact, he looked like he'd walked in from a boardroom.I learned later on that he was indeed here for a "meeting".He was the heir to the Corleone famiglia, and he was there to "talk business" with the warden.It was absurd.From that day on, he became a regular.We talked about finance, trade, and even human nature.He was like an arms dealer, polishing my rusted claws piece by piece.Before I got out of jail, he handed me a contract. He wanted me to be the Corleone famiglia's chief Consigliere."I don't do charity," he said. "I'm investing in your future. I want you to take back every
