MasukI spent sixty years married to Vincent under a fake name, bearing him a daughter and raising his adopted son as if he were my own flesh and blood. On the surface, I was the quiet, dutiful wife who managed the household and cared for the children without a word of complaint. Behind the scenes, however, I tapped into the Capelli mafia family’s vast resources and network to clear every obstacle from his path. I truly believed we were a devoted couple growing old together, but that naive dream shattered the moment his will was read after his death. He had left his entire fortune to his adopted son. As for our daughter and me? We got absolutely nothing. In his final words, he pined for his adopted son's biological mother, claiming he had finally fulfilled his promise to her. Yet, all that remained to me was a simple thank-you. With that, I collapsed in tears and breathed my last. When I opened my eyes again, I was right back on the day of our sixth wedding anniversary. This time, I was done playing his dutiful wife. It was time to take my place back as the Mafia Principessa.

He won’t get off lightly. Also, regarding the true background of Evelyn and Liam, do you want me to look into it?”I thought about it for a moment, then shook my head. “There’s no need. Evelyn is already dead, so digging into her past is meaningless. As for Liam…”I sighed softly. “He’s a victim in all this too. Just find out who his biological father is. If the man is willing to raise him, send Liam over. If not, contact a social worker and find him a good family to adopt him.”“Understood.”A few days later, Leo tracked down Lia
The Rossi Group collapsed, and the news was flooded with reports of its bankruptcy and liquidation. However, Vincent seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no one could find him anywhere.Leo sent a team of people to search every place Vincent could possibly be, but found no trace of him. Vincent’s phone was off, his bank cards were frozen, and even his old drinking buddies had no idea where he had gone.An uneasy feeling crept up in me. Vincent wasn’t the type to give up easily. When driven to a dead end, he was capable of doing anything.“Step up the security around the apartment,” I told Leo.“Yes, Principessa. I’ve done it.” Leo paused for a moment. “Principessa, do you suspect Vincent might go after your daughter?”“It never hurts to be careful,” I replied flatly. “He has nothing left now. If he wants to turn the tables, targeting Grace is his only move.”“Understood. I’ll send more men.”However, Vincent didn’t go after Grace; he came straight for me.That afternoon,
The next morning, when Grace woke up, she looked a little lost. She sat on the soft, spacious bed and looked around the unfamiliar room with her wide, round eyes. It took her a good while before she finally turned to me and asked, “Mommy, are we never going back?”“Yes.” I set breakfast on the nightstand, smiled, and patted her head as I said, “From now on, this will be our home.”“Awesome!”Grace bounced up instantly, then quickly covered her mouth and giggled secretly, as if afraid of being too loud. Seeing how happy she was, I felt everything had been worth it.After accompanying Grace through breakfast, I had the housekeeper take her downstairs to play in the garden while I went to the study.Leo Costa was already sitting inside. My father had appointed him to me, and he had been with me for many years. All those times I secretly paved the way for Vincent, Leo was the one executing the orders.“Principessa.” Leo stood up and gave me a slight nod.“Sit.” I walked behind the
He stumbled forward, reaching out to grab my arm, but two bodyguards immediately stepped in, pinning him firmly in place.“Selena!” he shouted my name, his eyes bloodshot and his voice filled with a panic I had never heard from him before. “You can’t do this! The Rossi Group is my life’s work! You can’t just destroy it!”“Your life’s work?” I raised an eyebrow at him. “Vincent, you know deep down that everything in the Rossi Group came from the Capelli family. The seed capital was mine, the connections belonged to my family, and the distribution channels were provided by my father. Your so-called ‘self-made’ success was nothing more than climbing up on the shoulders of the Capelli family.”I hurled the documents at his feet, sending the papers scattering across the floor.“Now, I’m simply taking back what’s mine.”He stared at the documents on the ground before looking up at me, a desperate plea slowly creeping into his eyes.“Selena, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those thin
