LOGINElena Rossi married Victor Moretti, the most feared mafia Don in the underground world. For three years, he treated her like a queen. Everyone said the ruthless Don was madly in love with his wife. Elena believed them. Until the night everything fell apart. At a family banquet, Elena was drugged. When she begged Victor to stay with her, he simply told his guards to take her to the hospital—then left to meet her sister. In that moment, the love Elena had once been so proud of shattered. She soon learned the cruel truth: Victor had married her only because he believed she was the woman who once saved his life. And now that the “real” savior had appeared—her sister—Elena had become nothing more than a mistake. So Elena made her choice. She quietly arranged everything, had Victor unknowingly sign the divorce papers, and disappeared from his world—carrying his unborn child. Only after she was gone did Victor realize. The woman he thought he married out of gratitude had long become the one he could not live without. The woman who had saved his life years ago had been Elena all along—only she had been injured back then and lost that part of her memory. By the time the truth came to light, Elena was already gone. The cold-blooded mafia Don who once controlled the entire underworld finally lost control.

The cold air bit through the thick wool of my oatmeal-colored cashmere coat, and I wrapped my scarf a little tighter around my neck as I prepared to walk to the small bakery on the corner.Then I saw him.For a moment I thought the figure standing across the street was just another shadow blurred by the snow. But when he shifted slightly under the streetlamp, the light caught his face, and my heart stopped for a second before turning completely cold.Victor.He looked nothing like the man I remembered. The powerful mafia Don who once controlled half the underworld with a single word had been replaced by someone exhausted and worn down by something far heavier than the winter cold. His dark coat was wrinkled and dusted with snow, his beard unshaven, his hair damp from the night. He looked like a man who had been standing there for hours.Maybe all night.When
The door exploded inward under my kick.The sound echoed through the hospital room, cutting straight through Stella’s cheerful, bragging voice.She froze.For a moment the entire room went silent.I stood in the doorway, my chest rising and falling slowly, a storm boiling under my skin that I could barely keep contained. Every step I took toward her felt heavy, deliberate, like the slow approach of something inevitable.The smile on Stella’s face collapsed instantly.Her phone slipped from her fingers and shattered against the floor.“V-Victor…” Her voice trembled so badly it barely sounded like speech. “When did you get back? I can explain—”“Explain?”My voice came out colder than I had ever heard it before.I bent down, picked up the phone from the floor. The call screen was still active. The poison she had just spilled into it still seemed to linger in the air.“Explain how you staged the story about saving my life?” I asked quietly.“Or explain the car accident?”Her face went whi
When I got back to the house, the silence was suffocating.I pulled open the liquor cabinet with more force than necessary, grabbed an already opened bottle of whiskey, and took a long drink straight from the bottle. The liquid burned all the way down my throat, sharp and punishing, but it did nothing to warm the cold spreading through my chest.At some point the room began to blur.In the haze of alcohol, I thought I saw Elena sitting on the sofa, arms crossed, glaring at me the way she always did when I drank too much.“Victor, seriously? Again? Do you want to destroy your stomach?”I reached out without thinking.My fingers closed around nothing but cold air.“Elena…” I muttered hoarsely.The only answer was the wind rattling softly against the windows.I woke up the next morning still on the couch. My head felt like it had been split open, and the familiar ache in my stomach had already started to spread.Without thinking, I called out, my voice rough.“Elena… the stomach medicine.
Victor POVOn the other side of the city, I stood outside the detention center with a bouquet of roses in my hand, waiting for Elena.I had been there for hours.The sky slowly darkened, the evening air turning cold, until finally one of the staff members stepped outside and looked at me with mild confusion.“Sir… the woman you’re waiting for left hours ago.”For a moment I didn’t understand what he meant.Left?I drove back to the Moretti estate immediately, the roses still lying on the passenger seat beside me. The mansion was quiet when I walked in. Too quiet.Elena wasn’t there.Something felt wrong the moment I stepped into the empty living room.I went upstairs and plugged my phone into the charger. The screen lit up a few seconds later, and a message appeared at the top.From Elena.I opened it.Victor, I’m leaving. I’ve signed the divorce papers…The rest of the words blurred in front of my eyes.“Bang—!”I shot up from the chair so violently that the glass on the bedside table
