Enzo never reached his gun.

Several guns were already aimed at his head.

Then several middle-aged men seated among the guests stood.

They were minor allies who depended on the Valli family for business.

Ambrose Ricci was the most powerful among them. He owned three shipping lines, and a third of the Valli family's freight moved through his company.

Enzo stared at him in disbelief.

"Mr. Ricci, what are you doing? I thought we were allies—"

Ambrose smiled broadly but didn't lower his gun.

"Mr. Val

  • They Humiliated My Parents, So I Tore the Whole Wedding Down   9

    Enzo had lost his mind. Lately, he had been looking for me everywhere.He bombarded me with calls and texts, often from numbers I didn't recognize.I changed my number three times, and somehow, he found the new one within hours every time.He tried everything to get me to pick up.He even stationed men across the street from my parents' home. They never approached, but they never left.I ignored him at first.Eventually, I realized there was no reason to keep avoiding him.I had truly moved on.The moment I finally answered, Enzo's frantic voice came through the phone: "Nora, listen to me! I know everything now. Chiara went behind my back. She lied to me! I had no idea what that bitch had put you through all those years."I listened quietly.For three years, those were the words I'd desperately wanted to hear.Now, they meant nothing to me."And?"Enzo fell silent."I made Chiara pay for everything she did to you. A thousand times over. Nora, come back. Whatever the Borrelli family off

    I had Hugo lock all three suspects in a room together for two hours.No one told them why they were there.All they had was silence and each other to suspect.When the time was up, I opened the door and handed each man a glass of water."Thirsty?"Right in front of them, I poured some white powder into each glass."Newly developed truth serum. Drink it, then answer my questions. One of you is a traitor, and I already know who."I sat down and casually flipped through the file on the table."Want to confess, or should I name you? Confess now, and Don Borrelli might let you live. But if I have to name you..."I lowered my voice, letting my expression turn cold. "You know how Don Borrelli feels about traitors."The man nearest me slammed his glass down."Who the hell do you think you are? I was risking my life for the Family before you were even born. What gives you the right to question my loyalty?"I met his furious gaze with a calm smile."Of course I know you didn't betray the Family.

    Is he threatening to kill himself? Or is he planning to take me down with him?Either way, I don't understand what he's trying to accomplish.Does Enzo really think I still love him enough to stop just because he's threatening his own life?I didn't even slow down. I climbed into the stretch Lincoln outside.As the window rolled up, chaos broke out inside the building.Marco's furious voice rang out: "Enzo! You're really willing to go this far for a woman?"The window closed, cutting off the noise.It was over.I closed my eyes and rested for a while.At my request, the convoy went straight to the hospital where they'd taken my mother.Her condition had stabilized, though she still needed to stay under observation.My father grabbed my hand, overwhelmed."Nora, we owe it to Mr. Borrelli. Otherwise, your mother... she might have..."I can't believe Enzo could be so cruel. If you'd married him, who knows what kind of hell you would've lived through?"My mother wiped away a tear and patte

    Enzo never reached his gun.Several guns were already aimed at his head.Then several middle-aged men seated among the guests stood.They were minor allies who depended on the Valli family for business.Ambrose Ricci was the most powerful among them. He owned three shipping lines, and a third of the Valli family's freight moved through his company.Enzo stared at him in disbelief."Mr. Ricci, what are you doing? I thought we were allies—"Ambrose smiled broadly but didn't lower his gun."Mr. Valli, we are. But before the wedding, some of us made a deal with Mr. Borrelli. If he could convince Ms. Sutton to join him, we'd back him."He lowered his gun slightly."I have no desire to make an enemy of you, but I won't stand by and let you harm Ms. Sutton."I took another step back until I was nearly off the dais.My skills were my greatest bargaining chip.They all knew what I'd done for the Valli family.Without Enzo holding me back, I could do far more for them.Murder flashed in Enzo's e

    "And the groom, will you... What?"The priest's expression changed as soon as my answer registered.Enzo’s expression instantly darkened.His grip tightened around my hand, a strained smile appearing on his face."Forgive us. My bride is nervous. She misspoke. Nora, what did you just say? Say it again."At the doors, the guards quietly closed ranks, blocking every exit.Their hands slipped beneath their suit jackets, ready to draw their guns.Enzo squeezed harder.My wrist felt like it might snap.When I still said nothing, Enzo lowered his voice.He spoke through clenched teeth, "Say those words again, and this will no longer be a wedding. Don't forget your parents are still here."My mother's pale face flashed through my mind, followed by my father's helpless, cautious gaze.Enzo had spent all day telling me my parents didn't matter.Now he was threatening me with them.Suddenly, Enzo and his Family seemed pathetic.I'd let their ridiculous rules control me for three years. Now I fin

    Enzo rushed in when he heard the commotion.I was already kneeling beside my mother. I grabbed Enzo's sleeve."My mother's having an asthma attack. Call an ambulance."He looked down at me and said in a low voice, "The Don is upstairs. We can't let word of any incident in this building get out today."My mother clutched my fingers, her palm cold and clammy."I'm all right. You've waited so long for this wedding."I shook my head through my tears, my nails digging into my palms.Chiara cried out beside us.A rose thorn had left a tiny scratch on her hand.Enzo's expression changed at once."Get the medical team!"He took one step toward the door, then stopped. He looked back at me, hesitation flashing across his face.Perhaps my tears had finally gotten through to him.For once, Enzo actually explained himself. "Chiara is in charge of the tests. If something happens to her here, the advisor will blame you. The wedding might even be canceled. Have Diane hang on a little longer. I'll send
