Synopsis

Winning Back the Wife

Tragic Love

Girl Power

Everyone in Astora is envious of Serafina Greco. She has a husband who loves her with all his heart. They throw a luxurious wedding that's worth 470 million dollars in total. In fact, she and her equally wealthy older brother, Niccolo Greco, will be having their weddings on the very same day. That woman is practically a natural-born winner in life. But just as Serafina's husband, Alessandro Madonia, is about to be made the next Don of the family, she decides to file for a divorce. The lawyer sounds very shocked. "Are you sure you want to get a divorce from Alessandro?" Serafina falls silent for a moment. Then, she nods in determination. The moment she finds out that Alessandro, her perfect husband, is lying on the same bed as her sister-in-law, Matilde Denaro, on their wedding night, she has already made up her mind. "Yes."

Chapter 1

Sitting in the bathtub near the ceiling to floor window, she can see the city still awake though it is past midnight. The city lights and cars that look like ants, her lips curled up into a mocking smile.

So alive... Why are they so fucking lucky to have a real home... And why am I... Ha! 

Shaking her head to remove such useless thoughts. For her, it is too late, so late that only sleeping forever would give her relief. She took the small blade that she bought at the pharmacy in front of the motel she's staying in. Without any hesitation, she slits her right wrist cutting off her radial artery and without a second gap, she does the same to her left wrist.

Seeing the blood flow out of her own body she feels that sadness, anger and betrayal is leaving her, numbing more her 'dead' heart even those fleeting specks of happiness she felt under his protection.

'This is the only way for me to be free... So painful... Bear with it Raine, it won't be long befo...'

Her vision starts to blur even though her eyes are open as if they're still appreciating the beauty of the city lights, though she took her last breath. Her blood, though mixed with water, still has its striking red color overflowing from the bathtub as her body sinks in ending her suffering.

"Today marks a very special wedding. The Greco siblings are getting married on the same day. May both couples be united for life."The Greco family's 470-million-dollar wedding gathered elites from every corner of Astora and caused a sensation across the city.Everyone envied Serafina Greco, but no one could have imagined that her brand-new husband would be in her sister-in-law's bed.Through the narrow gap of the door, Alessandro Madonia stood bare-chested while Matilde Denaro, who had just married into the family, leaned against him."Serafina won't wake up, right?"Matilde's voice was soft, almost syrupy, as it drifted through the door."No. The sleeping pills in their drinks are strong enough to ensure both siblings have a good night's sleep tonight."The moment Alessandro's voice sounded, something detonated inside Serafina's head. That morning, she had believed she was the happiest woman alive. Now, it felt as though the rug had been pulled out from under her.Inside th

That night, Serafina lay awake, staring at Luciana's messages as they came in.Matilde was the Denaro family's illegitimate daughter, who was raised abroad. Alessandro and Matilde had once been inseparable during their time abroad.However, the Madonia family had kept pressuring him to marry Serafina, which was how the whole diary stunt came about in the first place.How could he use her sincerity to protect another woman?Alessandro knew better than anyone that betrayal was what Serafina hated most.As the image of Cosima cutting her wrists in despair resurfaced in her mind, the ache in Serafina's chest became almost unbearable.She refused to follow Cosima's path and drown in grief.Without hesitation, she called her Underboss. "Sherly, have our people lie low at every major port and prepare to reclaim every territory we handed to the Madonia family."She'd just hung up when Alessandro appeared at the door, surprise lacing his voice.

Alessandro held Serafina in his arms, yet his gaze kept drifting toward the corridor. By the time his assistant arrived, Serafina had already fainted from the pain."If you'd been a few minutes later, the baby's heartbeat would've stopped."The doctor chided Alessandro as she adjusted the IV, and he nodded without really listening, his eyes still drifting toward the hallway.Serafina knew exactly who and what he was waiting for. The realization irritated her so deeply that she closed her eyes and pretended she hadn't woken up.Only then did he seem to notice the crease between her brows.She hadn't smiled since the wedding, and he found himself thinking that once she woke, he'd take her somewhere to relax.As he reached out to smooth her forehead, a faint scent of white magnolia drifted in. Matilde stood at the door.Alessandro lifted a finger, signaling her to keep quiet.She lowered her voice, though the disappointment in her tone was obvious. "So the baby's fine?"He glan

"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for attending the launch of Cosima AI."Applause swept through the venue as Serafina stood on stage and spoke with calm confidence, drawing steady gasps from the audience below."This emotional AI system, named by my mother, represents the purest and most flawless love in the world. It will be integrated into our latest companion-style simulation robots. The first batch starts at 8 million dollars, and is limited to 100 units. The bidding begins now."…As the numbers climbed higher and higher, tears welled in Serafina's eyes.She'd gambled everything, pouring all of the Gambino Group's assets into this research team, and she'd been right. Serafina was about to turn the tide. Years of suppression, Cosima's humiliation, and the secret she'd carried for so long would finally be washed away after today.When the final unit price was locked at 50 million dollars, she steadied herself and walked toward the podium.She was about to announce that

The moment she was in the car, Serafina wrapped her arms around herself and sobbed uncontrollably.Years of effort had come to nothing, and years of love had ended in betrayal.In that instant, she wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Cosima's arms the way she had as a child. But Cosima had left this world because of a man's betrayal, too.The car slowly rolled to a stop. Thinking of the scheme between Alessandro and Matilde that was about to succeed, Serafina slowly wiped her face dry.The first thing she did after returning to the Greco residence was check the pinhole cameras the private investigator had installed.Just as she was done confirming everything was working, Niccolo kicked the door open."Serafina, come out here! If Alessandro hadn't told me about your research, I wouldn't have known you were holding something back."Stop dreaming about taking Greco Group. No matter how capable you think you are, it'll never belong to you. Greco Group won't be inherited

The limousine stopped at the entrance, where the director of the hospital was already waiting. "Ms. Denaro informed us in advance. Our best doctors are waiting for her in the ward. We'll have someone take her inside."Alessandro ignored the medical staff and placed Serafina on the bed himself.The doctor barely spared her a glance before shouting, "The patient is unconscious! We need to commence electroconvulsive therapy."Only then did Alessandro notice the large electric chair positioned in the room."But…"He was about to say she was pregnant when Matilde suddenly stumbled at the doorway."My ankle hurts. I think I twisted it."In the blink of an eye, two nurses secured Serafina to the chair.The electric current surged through her body, and she woke with a scream, feeling like her head was about to be split open."Ah!"When she opened her eyes, she saw Alessandro holding Matilde's ankle and gently rubbing it.Everyone knew Alessandro was particular about cleanliness.

The night was dazzling and loud. Inside a luxury hotel, Serafina stepped into the ballroom wearing a shimmering white backless mermaid gown.Conversations faltered almost immediately, replaced by low whispers."So that's the Greco heiress everyone's been talking about. Those videos are all over the internet, and she has the nerve to dress like that. She has no shame.""I heard she's not mentally stable either. She actually hit her own sister-in-law in public. And she calls herself a socialite? I can't believe the Madonia family accepted her.""Exactly. I've heard people say they've seen her in psychiatric hospitals before. Looks like it's true."Serafina's gaze swept across the crowd of socialites. Many of the same people had spent years currying favor with her, and she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Ms. Denaro is here!""She's even more beautiful in person!""Beauty isn't the point. She has the Greco and Denaro families backing her. She's the t

For the first time in her life, Serafina felt fear.The dark room could only be opened by the Dons or heirs of the top four mafia families. Strange torture devices hung along the walls, tools reserved for interrogating traitors.Alessandro brushed his fingers lightly across the cuts on her back while gripping her chin with his other hand. Ignoring her resistance, he pressed a forceful kiss against her lips."Serafina, we're almost done. Just stay here and don't go anywhere."A faint sliver of light from the doorway reflected off his glasses, and the eyes behind them were sharp and cold.Serafina was utterly paralyzed, feeling a chill run down her spine. This was the first time he had ignored her refusal and approached her.Only then did she realize she had never truly known him.Alessandro pulled a leather whip from the wall and wrapped it around her wrists, binding her hands. Only after carefully tending to her wounds did he leave.Not long after, Matilde entered carrying food

The royal symphony orchestra began performing the Symphony of Fate."This year is special. The Madonia family will welcome a new Don. Please allow me to introduce the new Don of the Madonia family, Alessandro Madonia."The audience erupted in applause as Matilde watched Alessandro's striking face with a smile playing at her lips.Meanwhile, Alessandro's heart pounded against his ribcage. He had waited far too long for this moment.Nearly ten members of the family had competed with him for the position, but he had lived up to everyone's expectations and finally secured the place he had always desired.But for some reason, a ripple of commotion swept through the crowd, and strange looks were directed at him.Unease crept in as he looked toward the screen.

Did Serafina purposefully leave these dead rats and cockroaches around just to disgust him?The more Alessandro thought about it, the angrier he became. He pulled out his phone to call her, only to hear the ringtone coming from his own pocket.That was when he remembered he had taken her phone away before locking her in the room.He went straight to the hotel's security room to request the surveillance footage, but was informed that every camera in the building had been infected with a virus.Serafina had prepared this in advance.Alessandro tore apart the speech he had written for the succession ceremony. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, his mother, Francesca Brambilla, slapped him across the face."Do you remember what you promised me back then? Cosima was my closest friend. If I'd known you would turn out like this, I never would've handed you that diary!"Alessandro froze.Five years ago, when he had refused the marriage for Matilde's sake, Francesca had been t
