Chapter 6

Author: Belen
The flight to Paris cut through the night sky.

I sat in first class, watching the clouds drift past the window, saying goodbye to the last five years for good.

Back in the States, Leon had gone completely unhinged. Victor stayed behind to handle the aftermath. Leon used every Hall Family connection to hunt for me, then stormed back to the estate we'd shared. The moment he opened the door, he froze.

The living room was spotless. No white rose wreath. No wedding favor boxes.

No slippers of mine in

  • The Mafia Heir Chose Her, so I Faked My Death   Chapter 10

    One month later. Leon checked himself out of the hospital, still far from healed.His first act after leaving the hospital was to show up outside my studio and stand there all day.He leaned on a cane, his spine no longer carrying the posture it once had. Today was the day Victor was going to propose. That evening, rose petals blanketed the ground outside the studio.Victor went down on one knee before me in a white suit, holding up a pink diamond ring."Nora, I know how deeply you've been hurt. I promise you will never have to wonder where you stand with me. I will love you, protect you, and honor every choice you make. Will you marry me?"My coworkers applauded. I met Victor's sincere gaze and nodded, smiling."Yes."Victor slid the ring onto my finger, stood, and pulled me into a tight embrace.Just then, a thud came from outside. I turned and saw Leon standing beyond the glass door.His cane had fallen. He'd crumpled onto the carpet of rose petals.He stared at the ring on my hand.

    Elena was cornered. Leon unleashed all his rage on her.He cut off every partnership tied to Damian Russo's casinos and handed the business to a rival family.Damian went bankrupt and lost his territory.Damian took all his rage out on Elena, beating her nearly to death day after day.Elena finally broke and blamed me for everything. One afternoon, I finished an important jewelry showcase while Victor went to the parking garage for the car. As I waited at the curb, a battered van came barreling straight at me.Behind the wheel, Elena's face was twisted with rage."Nora, go to hell! If you won't let me live, then we're going down together!"The van was moving too fast. I had no time to dodge. At the last possible second, a dark figure lunged from the side.He shoved me clear, but the van struck him full-on and hurled him through the air.The impact threw Leon more than forty feet. He hit the pavement hard, and blood spread beneath him.The van crashed into a fire hydrant. Elena was pinn

    After the gala, Leon lost what was left of his sanity. He bought the entire building across from my studio.Every morning when I stepped outside, fresh red roses flown in overnight covered my car.Every day at lunch, he reserved the entire restaurant and stood in a corner watching me eat.He was trying to prove how much he loved me. How pathetic. When I'd begged him for a glance, he found me annoying. Now that I was done with him, he clung to me like a shadow I couldn't shake.One afternoon, I'd just stepped out of my studio when the sky opened up in a downpour.Leon was there with an umbrella, stubbornly holding it over my head. Most of his own body was exposed to the rain, completely drenched."Nina, the rain is too heavy. Let me drive you home. Please?"I stopped and looked at him coldly."Mr. Hall, this is harassment. My lawyer has already filed a police report."The light in Leon's eyes dimmed, but he kept holding the umbrella."Then have me arrested. If it makes you feel better,

    Two years later, New York's most exclusive high-jewelry gala was underway.I entered in a custom red gown, my arm linked through Victor's.In those two years, I'd built a name in Paris jewelry circles under the identity Victor created for me.Now the world knew me as Nina Laurent, an internationally celebrated jewelry designer. Camera flashes burst across the ballroom when I entered. I faced them with an easy smile, poised and certain of myself.I was no longer the woman who followed Leon and swallowed every humiliation.Halfway through the gala, I took my champagne out to the terrace for some air. Footsteps came up behind me."Nora?"The voice was barely a rasp, trembling with disbelief.I turned around and met Leon's eyes, wide with shock and wild with hope.Two years had taken their toll. He was noticeably thinner. When I turned, the champagne glass slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground.He stared at me, his eyes going red in an instant, tears falling without warning."N

    The flight to Paris cut through the night sky.I sat in first class, watching the clouds drift past the window, saying goodbye to the last five years for good.Back in the States, Leon had gone completely unhinged. Victor stayed behind to handle the aftermath. Leon used every Hall Family connection to hunt for me, then stormed back to the estate we'd shared. The moment he opened the door, he froze.The living room was spotless. No white rose wreath. No wedding favor boxes.No slippers of mine in the shoe rack. No clothes of mine in the closet. No toothbrush of mine by the sink.The crew I'd hired had erased every trace of my five years in that house.As if I had never lived there at all.Leon called my number over and over. Each time, a recording told him it had been disconnected.Elena didn't limp into the estate until the next morning."Leon, please stop this. Nora probably just went into hiding. She's just trying to get a reaction out of you..."Elena walked to the couch and tried t

    Wind screamed past my ears. The free fall stole my breath, but I kept my eyes on Leon's horrified face above me. That look of agony suited him. Then came a muffled thump as I hit the massive rescue cushion waiting below."Quick. We don't have much time."Victor Moreau, who'd been waiting on the second-floor terrace, rushed over and pulled me to my feet.His team deflated and removed the cushion within seconds.Victor splashed a bag of fake blood along the edge of the terrace and had someone drag a streak of it across the ground."The security footage is already on a loop."He draped a black coat over my shoulders and looked at me with concern."Nora, are you sure about this? After tonight, you'll be a dead woman in Leon's world."I held Buck's urn, running my fingers over it gently."If I could, I'd choose never to have met him. Let's go, before he gets suspicious."Victor nodded and led me out through the fire escape.The moment the car pulled away from the hotel, I looked through the
