Report
I had been married to Alexander for three years. Everyone feared his ruthlessness, but he had always been incredibly gentle with me. But ever since Elena took a bullet for him during a shootout six months ago, everything changed. He always said she got hurt saving him, so I had to be accommodating. At the family’s most prestigious gala, my husband—the Don, Alexander—arrived with his secretary, Elena, on his arm. Pinned to her chest was the ruby brooch that symbolized the position of the Donna of the family. "Elena took a bullet for me. She liked the brooch, so I let her borrow it for a while. Regardless, you are the only donna here. Try to show some class." I didn't argue with him. I just removed my wedding ring and pulled out the divorce papers: "Since she likes it so much, she can have it. Including this seat next to you. I'm giving that up, too." Alexander signed without hesitation, a cold smile on his face. "What kind of manipulative trick are you playing now? You're an orphan, separated from your family, you won't survive three days in Sicily. I'll wait for you to come back begging me." I took out an encrypted satellite phone I hadn't used in three years. Alexander didn't know that I was actually the youngest daughter of the oldest Mafia family in Europe. But my family and Alexander’s had always been enemies. To marry him, I had changed my name and even severed ties with my father and brothers. The call connected. I took a deep breath and whispered, "Papa, I regret it. Send someone to pick me up in two weeks."

The Donna Left，The Don Went Crazy Chapter 11
Alexander lay in the hospital ICU for a week.His dreams were filled with the past. His first meeting with Ivy, her vows at the wedding, and the desperate look in her eyes as she lay on the operating table.When he woke up, the room was empty. No flowers, no fruit, and certainly not that familiar figure. Only the bodyguard who had brought him in had left a payment bill and gone.After being discharged, he didn't dare appear in front of Ivy again.Like a rat in the gutter, Alexander rented an old apartment opposite Gabriel’s estate. His only joy every day was peeping at her life through a telescope.He saw her planting tulips in the garden, sunlight spilling on her face, her smile so brilliant. It was a smile she never had during the three years she was with him.Gabriel was right beside her, handing her the shovel, wiping her sweat. That picture of peaceful years stung his eyes and made him realize just how thoroughly he had lost.Alexander spent the last of his money to buy a loose di

Ivy held onto Gabriel’s arm, walking through the manor's iron gates without glancing sideways.In her peripheral vision, the black figure standing in the heavy rain was as stiff as a statue. Alexander was right there, but she wouldn't even spare him a look.Back in the villa, the heating dispelled the chill from her body."I'll make something to eat." Gabriel took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the open kitchen.Ivy sat at the bar, watching him skillfully chop vegetables and sear steaks. The warm yellow light fell on him, creating a domestic atmosphere she hadn't felt in a long time.Once, she had fantasized about moments like this with Alexander. But all he gave her were cold armories, endless waiting, and a back that reeked of blood."What are you thinking about?" Gabriel handed her a glass of red wine, his eyes gentle.Ivy took the glass and looked out the floor-to-ceiling bulletproof window. The rain was still falling, and that figure was still standing there, l

When Vincent returned to the room, Ivy had already finished packing.He glanced out the window at Alexander being dragged away and asked her, "Heartache?"Ivy closed her suitcase, her tone as calm as if discussing the weather. "Heartache? That kind of thing died on the operating table long ago. I just feel disgusted. I don't want to be pestered by a mad dog anymore."Vincent nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Sicily is too chaotic right now. That lunatic Alexander will definitely come harass you again when he wakes up. Go to Switzerland. The lakes and mountains there are good for healing.""I've made arrangements. Gabriel will pick you up in Zurich."Gabriel?A name surfaced in Ivy’s mind. Gabriel, the youngest financial tycoon in Europe and a crucial partner in the Rainier family’s money laundering operations. Born into old nobility, he was a true gentleman.Over ten hours later, the plane landed at Zurich Airport.Just as she walked out of the tunnel, a man in a beige trench coat with

The Rainier family’s declaration of war was like a nuclear bomb, destroying half of the Alexander family’s influence overnight.As revenge from the Rainier family, this was only the beginning.That night, a bulletproof Rolls-Royce flying a white flag stopped at the gates of the Rainier castle.Alexander’s mother, the once-arrogant donna, walked in alone.She looked ten years older, her air of insufferable superiority completely gone.Ivy met her in the drawing room."Ivy... no, Miss Rainier." She looked at Ivy, her eyes complex, holding a trace of fear. "I am not here to beg for mercy. I know that ungrateful son of mine has committed unforgivable sins."She took a thick stack of documents from her bag and pushed them towards Ivy."These are the deeds to one-third of our family’s territory in Sicily, and the control rights to our two most profitable shipping routes in the Mediterranean.""This is compensation. I only ask that the Rainier family spare Alexander’s life."Vincent, standing
