Stefan's perspective.

His subordinate nodded and passed the ring to Stefan. "The trader said that Miss Carter had shown off the ring in public before, and Donna Gallo's ring was a copy…"

The subordinate's voice got increasingly lower. Stefan looked up at him. "Continue talking."

"And that… The ring had your name and Donna Gallo's name inscribed on it, which is why it couldn't be sold."

The room suddenly turned silent, and Stefan's subordinates held their breaths, worried that he would lose h

    Dawn's perspective."Stefan Gallo has been stripped of his position as Don, and he's currently locked up by the Gallo family," Hunter turned back to say this to me while we were on the golf course. He was trying to gauge my reaction to this.My hands froze for a second before I slowly swung the golf club in my hand. The golf ball flew into the air and slowly rolled into the hole. I turned to look at Hunter with a smile and said softly, "I see." Hunter looked surprised as he came to my side. He raised an eyebrow while looking at me. "I thought you'd be more worked up than that. After all, you've sacrificed so much for this day."I smiled and said nothing. Should I be worked up? Maybe I would have been, once upon a time. There had been numerous late nights when I fervently hoped that Stefan would get what he deserved. I wished I could finally escape his shadow and get my freedom.However, when that day arrived, I did not feel as overjoyed as I imagined I would. All I felt was a cal

  • Too Late to Say I Love You   Chapter 13

    Stefan's perspective."These are the latest pictures, Don Gallo." Stefan's underboss carefully passed the pictures to Stefan, not daring to meet his eyes. Stefan stared quietly at the pictures of Elena and Hunter going everywhere together with a cold, murderous expression. If the elders had not gotten together to threaten him, he would never have let Elena go that easily.However, he could not tell anyone Elena's real identity. After all, his wife was working for the enemy now, and revealing that would make everyone lose trust in him. It frustrated him to be in this situation, and as he gently touched the woman's face in the picture, he realized how much of a stranger she was now, with that indifference and calmness in her eyes.For some reason, Stefan was still deeply attracted to her, even more so than when they first met. She brought out a protector's instinct within him when they first met, but now, all he yearned for was to conquer her. Stefan had never been defeated before

  • Too Late to Say I Love You   Chapter 12

    Dawn's perspective.Stefan looked at me the next second coldly. "What's your relationship with him? When did you get to know each other? Was it before you left the family or after?" He grabbed me so hard by the shoulders that I frowned in pain, then he quickly let me go. Stefan looked incredibly upset as he turned to say to his underboss. "Tell him that's not possible."His underboss hesitated. "But Don Gallo, the elder…""I just said, it's not possible."Stefan's tone was filled with intimidation, and his underboss did not dare say another word. Stefan left the room with a dark look on his face. When the door was closed behind Stefan, everyone in the room started to look at each other, and someone sighed."Don Gallo has become more emotional these days. He was the one who insisted Trixie Carter was trustworthy, but she ended up betraying the family. When this came to light, the family held a meeting that lasted several days, and the elders criticized him privately for almost ruin

    Dawn's perspective.Before I could react, one of his subordinates tore the black cloth off me roughly. "Lift your head."I clenched my teeth and did as he asked. I could see Stefan looking slightly taken aback when I raised my head, but the look quickly vanished. He resumed his role as the interrogator, a side of him that was a stranger to me.It felt like something was clenching my heart as I was overcome with emotion. All I could spit out in the end was, "What do you want?"Stefan did not answer right away. He said calmly, "The informants I placed around Hunter Caruso have all vanished." He looked at my face with an air of scrutiny and intimidation. The air in the basement was cold, and it only made the suffocating atmosphere even worse. I stopped repeating the words 'I don't know' because Stefan would never believe me.He looked at me for a long time, as if trying to see if something in me would break. "You're the only person Hunter Caruso met on the day all my informants van

  • Too Late to Say I Love You   Chapter 10

    Dawn's perspective.A month had passed since I returned to Beyland. I had arrived with trepidation, but I quickly got used to my surroundings.Even though this was my hometown, I had never really properly lived here before. I had spent my childhood in the shadows of my father's abuse and my mother's silence, and I had never really taken a good look at my city for close to 20 years.Beyland was not as horrible as I had imagined. In fact, it was a beautiful place. Hunter Caruso, the man I had been in touch with, handled the arrangements well. Not only did he get me a new identity, but he also made sure I was well cared for in my daily life and with medical care. I had taken a gamble on him, as I was worried he was just making use of me because he was Stefan's nemesis. Fortunately, everything had gone by peacefully. The only contact we had was Hunter suddenly calling me on the phone one day, and saying with low laughter, "You're leading quite the carefree life, aren't you? Always h

However, all Stefan did was wave them off. "Leave the room." They could not figure out his mood, and they closed the door behind them.Dim light shone on the sapphire, making it look glorious as it reflected the light with great brilliance. However, it was still a copy, no matter how glorious it looked. It was the only time in his life that Stefan ever bought a copy of something. The real sapphire ring should have belonged to Elena. Stefan had always known how mu
