Chapter 10

작가: Severed Thoughts
Lorenzo stood alone in the empty seaside estate, his phone clenched tightly in his hand. For the first time in years, he felt something dangerously close to losing control.

The decorative pieces Lux used to keep above the fireplace were gone.

So were the document case she carried everywhere, the keys to her private safe, and several encrypted banking credentials known only to her.

Everything had been cleaned out completely.

His expression darkened as he turned to his underboss, Marco.

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 21

    Before winter arrived, the case was finally settled.Bianca was formally sentenced for staging a fake kidnapping, participating in financial fraud, and conspiring with outside forces to extort the family. Francesca was imprisoned alongside her for attempted assault and conspiracy.Under pressure from both the shareholders and the public, Vito was forced to withdraw completely from the Vitale Group. This time, there was no path left for him to claw his way back.And the Antara family did not escape unscathed either.Lorenzo stepped down from most of the family's public-facing business operations and shifted half his attention toward cleaning up the rot inside the organization. Some people said he had finally grown a conscience. Others believed he was simply afraid his past would one day come back to destroy him.Lux did not care either way.What mattered to her was that Eileen Shipping was finally stable, and the second fleet had successfully entered operation.That evening, she

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 20

    After Francesca was formally charged, Bianca completely fell apart.It was the final shred of hope she had left, and now even that was gone.She screamed and cried in her old detention cell for days. At first, she insisted she had once been pregnant with Lorenzo's child and that the Antara family could not possibly abandon her. Later, she changed her story, claiming her mother had forced her to do everything. Eventually, she started threatening to expose everything she knew if they let her out.Lorenzo never went to see her personally.The one who stepped into the visitation room was Lux.The moment Bianca saw her, her eyes turned red with hatred."You came to laugh at me?""No." Lux sat down across from her, calm and composed. "I came to hear how much truth you're finally willing to tell."Bianca stared at her viciously, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh straight from her body.However, the Bianca sitting there now looked nothing like the polished socialite she used

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 19

    Lorenzo's warning proved accurate.Three days later, Eileen Shipping's temporary office in Sicily received an anonymous invitation. Supposedly, an overseas insurance syndicate wanted to discuss a long-term partnership and requested that Lux meet them privately that evening in one of the old opera house boxes.Laura frowned the moment she finished reading it."This setup is fake as hell.""I know." Lux folded the letter neatly, her tone calm and unreadable. "But since they've already drawn the knife, I should at least see how they plan to use it."That night, the old opera house glowed beneath dim golden lights.Lux arrived on time, though she had no intention of walking in alone.Marco stationed two men in the shadows nearby, while Laura settled into the opposite box ahead of time with a camera running. It was not forgiveness for Lorenzo, merely acceptance of the most effective security arrangement available.As expected, the moment the private box door closed, the person waiti

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 18

    After Bianca was thrown into the old detention block, she was still arrogant at first.She believed that as long as she kept her mouth shut, Vito and her mother would eventually find a way to get her out.But once the Vitale Group's board meeting was convened, Vito was formally stripped of his authority, and even her mother's jewelry brand was seized for investigation, she finally realized the truth.This time, no one was coming to save her.And at long last, Lux took the seat that should have belonged to her from the very beginning.Yet during the shareholders' meeting, she neither took control of the Vitale Group nor moved back into the family estate.She only did two things.First, she demanded that the Vitale family erect a proper headstone for her adoptive mother, with her name and identity formally recorded in the family archives.Second, she took the shares and compensation that rightfully belonged to her, then permanently withdrew from the Vitale family's business opera

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 17

    For the next week, Sicily dominated the headlines almost every single day.An internal audit within the Vitale organization uncovered a chain of scandals: embezzled funds, falsified port contracts, and millions quietly funneled away to cover Bianca's debts. The Antara family managed to avoid being dragged directly into the mess, but the media quickly dug up Lorenzo's blatant favoritism after Lux returned, along with every punishment he had ever forced on her.The image of the 'devoted Don' shattered overnight.Antara Group stock plunged for three consecutive days, while several partner banks simultaneously demanded additional collateral.Marco stood inside the study, watching the man behind the desk age years within the span of a single night."Should we step in and suppress the news?" he asked quietly.Lorenzo stared out the window for a long moment before answering."No.""But if this continues–""This is what I deserve."Marco fell silent.He had followed Lorenzo for ma

  • The Don’s Dead Wife Came Back   Chapter 16

    The Vitale family council chamber was packed.Branch family elders, accountants, lawyers, and even the two senior board members who had been eyeing the inheritance for years were all seated around the long table, waiting to watch the spectacle unfold.They had expected Lux to return broken. At best, they thought she would cry about her suffering. At worst, she would cling to her status as the family's true daughter and beg for scraps of sympathy.Instead, the moment she walked in, she tossed a thick stack of documents onto the center of the table."These are the port credit lines I brought into the Antara family before marriage, the logistics clients under my name, and the three East Coast shipping routes I renegotiated for the Vitale family after the wedding."She pulled out a chair and sat down calmly. Her voice was quiet, but every word carried clearly through the room."As of today, all of these assets will be transferred to Eileen Shipping. They will no longer serve the Vita
