Chapter 7

Author: Yanyan Strives
When I woke, I was in the De Luca family's private hospital.

My mother, Lucia, barely left my side, while my father, Vittorio, kept the best doctors on standby.

The first time I was fully conscious, my father told me how I had gone missing.

When I was a child, my father had taken me out on the water. Enemies came after him, and he drew them away. By the time he returned to the cabin, I was gone.

He and my mother had searched for me for years.

Knowing I hadn't been abandoned changed something dee

  • The Woman He Bought Was Mafia Heiress   Chapter 9

    After seeing me alive, Dante began trying to make amends for the past.He formally voided the purchase contract from seven years ago, dismantled the underground auction house that had sold me, and gave Marco's family generous compensation.When word of all this reached me, I listened and felt nothing.A person starting to do the right thing doesn't mean the people they've hurt have to look back.My life kept moving forward.After the first charity exhibition, I completed a second collection, and a gallery formally took on several of the paintings.My father then let me try managing a De Luca cultural foundation in France. I started negotiating partnerships, reviewing contracts, and preparing for a small solo show in Paris.Before, whenever my name came up, people only knew me as the woman Dante Moretti had bought for three million dollars.Now my name appeared on its own, on contracts, invitations, and exhibition posters.I was growing more and more fond of this life.I had my own work

  • The Woman He Bought Was Mafia Heiress   Chapter 8

    For the first time, the words jolted Dante fully awake.He reassigned people to investigate my car accident from scratch, and they finally traced it back to Sofia. She had arranged the car and hired someone to cause the crash.Dante refused to hear her out and called off the engagement on the spot.He dissolved every joint venture with her family. The Cavarro family was expelled from the Moretti inner circle.Sofia was stripped of her inheritance and family dividends. Her father lost his seat at the alliance table. The two shipping lanes the Cavarros had gained through the engagement were taken back.To salvage what was left of their family's interests, the Cavarros ultimately sent Sofia to a remote estate under indefinite house arrest, barred from ever returning to Sicily's social circles.The Cavarro princess, once fawned over by everyone, lost her engagement, her status, her fortune, and her family's support overnight.Once Sofia was dealt with and my whereabouts confirmed, Dante ca

    When I woke, I was in the De Luca family's private hospital.My mother, Lucia, barely left my side, while my father, Vittorio, kept the best doctors on standby.The first time I was fully conscious, my father told me how I had gone missing.When I was a child, my father had taken me out on the water. Enemies came after him, and he drew them away. By the time he returned to the cabin, I was gone.He and my mother had searched for me for years.Knowing I hadn't been abandoned changed something deep inside me. For the first time, I felt like I belonged somewhere. All those years, even though I hadn't known it, someone had still loved me.When I brought up Dante, my father said, "He believes you're dead, Elena. Right now, you're just yourself. You can do anything you want."The tension I'd been carrying in my body finally released.The day I was discharged, my father arranged new documents, bank accounts, and a security detail for me. But where I lived, who I saw, whether I made my identit

  • The Woman He Bought Was Mafia Heiress   Chapter 6

    The next day, Dante announced that the wedding had been postponed.No new date. No explanation to the Cavarro family.He deployed nearly everyone at the Moretti estate to search for me.Every hospital, private clinic, morgue, and mountain road in the area was swept again.Dante gave a single order: find her alive, or bring back a body.Then he went to the crash site himself.The car had burned down to nothing but a charred frame. The grass below the guardrail was scorched.Dante stood there for a long time, and for the first time, he couldn't stop himself from wondering how much pain I must have been in.Whether I had been conscious when the car went off the road. Whether I had waited for him to come save me as the flames spread.He only had to think about it once, and it was almost enough to buckle his knees.Back at the estate, he tore the place apart looking for any trace of me.He searched every corner for a photograph, only to discover we didn't have a single one together.Wheneve

    Fists rained down on Dante's face and body.He didn't fight back and ordered the bodyguards who tried to intervene to stand down.His eyes stayed locked on the black price tag in my father's hand."That's Elena's necklace. Why do you have it? What did you do to her?"My father didn't answer. He just landed another punch that snapped Dante's head to the side."She's dead. You killed her."Dante froze for a few seconds. His first instinct was denial."Impossible. She's trying to fool me again. She just wants to run."He had always believed that my wanting to leave was nothing more than a tantrum.So even with the word "dead" staring him in the face, he rejected it on instinct.Dante immediately turned on his own people, demanding answers. Who had confirmed the crash? Where had I gone? Why hadn't anyone brought me back?The messenger confirmed again, voice shaking: the car was burned beyond recognition. My phone, jacket, and a large amount of blood had been found at the scene. The rescue

    From that day on, I stopped fighting.Everyone assumed I had finally accepted my fate, and the guards outside my door grew fewer by the day.Only Sofia grew more and more uneasy.The day she came for her dress fitting, I went out of my way to compliment her.She eyed me with suspicion. "What are you up to?"I looked at the wedding ring on her hand and needled her."You'll be Mrs. Moretti."And I'll still be in Dante's bed. Who do you think he loves more, you or me?"Sofia's face changed, and she turned to leave.I called after her, "Mrs. Moretti, I have no interest in coming between you two. But he won't let me go. As long as I'm still here, are you really his only Mrs. Moretti?"Late that night, she gave me a new key and arranged a car."Leave and never come back."I took the key.Of course I didn't believe she had suddenly turned kind.I had simply been waiting for this moment. The more she wanted me gone, the better my chance of actually getting out.The car pulled smoothly out of t
