On the party of our seventh year anniversary, Luca Romano wheels me into the venue. Both of us are dressed to the nines. Our daughter, Sofia Romano, suddenly leans into Luca's ear and says in fluent Bellavian, "Dad, Ms. Celia is eight months pregnant now. Once she gives birth to my little brother, will they be living with us?" Celia Amato is Sofia's private tutor. At the moment, she's staring at us jealously from a short distance away. Luca lowers his head and tucks in the blanket on my lap lovingly. Then, he replies in Bellavian, "I've made a vow to your mother that I will never betray her. So, once Celia is done with her labor, I'll send them to another country overseas. If you miss your little brother, we can visit them together." Once he's done speaking, he tries to kiss me. I lower my head quietly to avoid the kiss. Luca doesn't know that I understand Bellavian because I've grown up in Sisse, Bellavia since I was a kid. He also has no idea that my legs were fully healed a week ago, and that I've uncovered the evidence of his affair with Celia in the estate's wine cellar. Of course, he doesn't know that I've promised my grandma that I'll return to Bellavia and take over the family business. Once all the paperwork is done, I'll set off on a lone journey, and I will never return.

While I did think it was possible that they'd find me, I hadn't expected them to come so fast. Luca's hands were locked around my arm with a vice-like grip. He begged me to forgive him, but I wasn't moved in the slightest, because I knew that there could be no second chances. I pushed him off me and pulled my gun out, loading it swiftly. Holding it against his forehead, I said impatiently, "How many times do I have to tell you, Luca? We're over!""No, no way! It's not over between us … You said your love for me would never waver. We've got a daughter together as well. We were going to travel to all the most romantic destinations in the world and live out the gorgeous future we'd envisioned for each other." His gaze was filled with pain, but there was a stubborn glint in his eyes. I fired at the ground near his foot, hoping that it would wake him up from his trance. Luca was utterly dumbfounded. He stepped backward on instinct. "You … How dare you fire at me? You never pointe

I hadn't seen Luca or Sofia in a while. I couldn't believe how pathetic they looked now. As Don Romano, Luca had always seemed at ease and in control. However, he appeared haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. Sofia had always been clean and sweet. Wherever she went, she was always the center of attention, like a little princess. Now, she was as haggard as Luca, looking like a sack of bones. I hadn't wanted to speak to him, but they unexpectedly leapt over and hugged me. Luca buried his face into my neck and sobbed, "Elena, I love you! Why did you leave us? Don't you know that I can't live without you? Answer me, Elena!" "Why don't you want me anymore, Mom? I miss you so much." Salvador stumbled backward, nervous and terrified. He didn't even know where to look. Frowning, I shoved them off me. "We've got nothing to do with each other now, Luca. Don't touch me." Luca was stunned into silence for a few moments. Then, he regained his composure and forced a smile, saying, "

That day onward, Salvador came to me frequently. He showed me his drawings and essays while I lent him books and art pieces. Salvador had a heart that was bursting out of his chest with the desire to go far. He knew I'd come from the distant lands of Aldaria, so he liked asking me a bunch of questions about Aldaria. Every time I spoke about the steel mills, cars, ferries, and planes, his eyes glowed with longing. The light in his gray eyes grew the more we talked. It pained me. How absurd. While I had been letting something as pointless as love keep me up at night, a boy was doing mental math in an attempt to increase the thickness of tomorrow's bread in my hometown. We lived in the same era, but it was as though decades separated us. Sometimes, I asked Salvador to bring me around. As the sun made its daily trek through the sky, we walked through the misty valleys and golden fields. My peaceful life went on. Sometimes, my friends would send me letters telling me about how L

After returning to Sisse, a branch of the Costa Famiglia sent assassins over to murder me out of jealousy for how I'd inherited Nonna's Famiglia. I was injured, but none of them were fatal wounds. After a week in bed recovering, I was as good as new. Nonna told me that I had just returned from Aldaria, so I had to be ruthless in order to establish my power. "Under your leadership, I hope that the Sissean branch of the Costa Famiglia rids itself of our underworld ties. Times are changing. You must do a lot of philanthropy, Elena. If we let the people eyeing your position seize the opportunity, our Famiglia will be plunged into endless darkness. We'll be destroyed." Indeed, times had changed. If I ruled as those who came before me did, we wouldn't survive. The only way to survive was to go clean. To Nonna, I was the one most likely to rewrite the Costa Famiglia's legacy. After my recovery, I gathered all the elders I trusted. As to those who betrayed us, I had them killed. Wi
