Tragic Love

Mafia

Independence

Regret

Countdown

Winning Back the Wife

Someone had posted a private video on the dark web of the underground world. In the video, a naked woman was sitting on top of a man. The comment section was flooded with messages: “So fucking hot. She’s unbelievably sexy.” My gaze swept across the man’s body, and in that instant, I felt as if lightning had struck me. A black ring glinted on his hand, which was wrapped around the woman's waist. It was the wedding ring my husband Edward, the Don of the Family , and I had designed together.

Chapter 1

My breath caught.

My grip on my phone tightened as all color drained from my face.

Even though only half of the man’s body appeared in the video, I knew exactly who he was.

Edward.

The ring had been designed by the two of us and handcrafted by him personally. There was only one in the entire world.

He once told me,

“Everything I give you should be the best and the most unique thing in the world.”

Footsteps I knew all too well sounded behind me.

I quickly locked my phone screen.

“Monica, dinner is ready.”

Edward’s voice pulled me back to reality.

I turned around and saw him walking toward me.

Ever since we got married, no matter how busy he was, he always came home at night to have dinner with me.

Just like always, he carefully helped me sit down and thoughtfully placed food onto my plate.

“Is the baby bothering you again?”

“Why do you look so sad?”

Listening to the familiar concern in his voice, I suddenly wondered if I had been wrong.

I hesitated before asking,

“Has anyone from the Family asked you for your ring recently?”

Edward froze for a moment.

Then he sat beside me, took my hand in his, and gently tapped my nose with his other hand.

“What are you talking about?”

“This ring is the symbol of our love.”

“It means more to me than my own life.”

“How could I ever give it away?”

Hearing that, I felt a little more at ease.

I shouldn’t have doubted him.

After dinner, Edward helped me back to the bedroom.

His underboss suddenly came looking for him because of an urgent matter. Edward had no choice but to leave in a hurry, accidentally leaving his phone on the sofa.

I got up to put it away.

Just as I was about to set the phone down, an incoming call suddenly appeared on the screen.

The name flashing there made my heart tighten.

Honey.

I answered the call.

A coquettish voice came from the other end.

“Daddy, last night in your study was so exciting.”

“Why don’t I just move into the estate? That way, I can stay by your side whenever I want.”

Her suggestive tone struck me like a slap.

The trust I had just rebuilt shattered instantly.

My mind went blank.

Edward had really cheated on me.

I could barely keep myself standing.

I grabbed onto the sofa and slowly lowered myself down before asking with difficulty,

“What did you say?”

The woman on the other end was silent for a moment.

Then she let out a soft, mocking laugh.

“Go check the study yourself.”

“You’re nothing but an ugly pregnant woman now, while I have all of Edward’s love.”

I stood up, gripping Edward’s phone tightly in my hand, and walked toward the study step by step.It was only a short distance away.Yet every step felt impossibly heavy.I had never entered Edward’s study before.I never wanted to interfere with his work .I never expected that the first time I stepped inside would be because I was catching him cheating.I pushed open the study door.The room was a complete mess.Various strange adult toys hung on the walls.Several unopened boxes of condoms were scattered across the floor.Last night, when my pregnancy sickness became unbearable, Edward had stayed by my side, desperately trying to find ways to ease my discomfort.But he hadn’t stayed with me through the entire night like he used to.He told me he had something important to handle and left in a hurry.I thought that “important matter” was Family business.I never imagined it was rushing here to sleep with his mistress.I returned to the bedroom in a daze.Sitting on the sofa, my hands

I called my best friend, Lilith, and asked her to come pick me up.In the car, she looked at my sorrowful expression and asked,“Did Edward hurt you?”I stayed silent for a long time.Then I whispered,“Edward cheated on me.”Lilith’s eyes widened.She looked as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.But yes…Even I found it impossible to believe.Edward loved me so much that he would sacrifice his own life for me.Even now, I still remembered the time I was kidnapped by his greatest enemy.They threatened Edward, forcing him to choose between his own life and mine.I cried and begged him not to do it.But Edward only smiled gently at me.He told me not to cry.Then he drove a dagger into his own chest.If the rescue team hadn’t arrived in time…Edward would no longer exist in this world.I cried and called him stupid.His eyes turned red as he hugged me tightly, as if he was afraid of losing the most precious thing in his life.“Monica, I don’t care about anything else.”“As

The next morning, Edward came home early and made breakfast for me.As usual, he called out to me affectionately to wake me up.“Wake up, sweet.”Hearing his voice, every word I had heard him say to Alice came rushing back to me, each one piercing my heart like a needle.Tears suddenly spilled down my cheeks, and no matter how I opened my mouth, I couldn’t get a single word out.Seeing me like this, Edward panicked and pulled me tightly into his arms.“Monica, are you angry because I didn’t come home last night? There was so much going on with the Family yesterday. You’ve always been the one who understands me best, Monica.”When Edward saw that I still refused to respond to him, a flicker of panic and guilt crossed his eyes.“I was wrong. I promise I won’t do it again.”I turned over and suddenly straddled him.With tears in my eyes, I whispered, “The doctor said it’s safe to have sex at seven months.”I caught the unfamiliar scent of perfume on him.Suppressing my nausea, I leaned do

Edward seemed to be completely enraged.“Leave me? No way!”With that, he didn’t even spare me a glance. His features twisted with fury as he ordered the bodyguards coldly,“Keep a close eye on the Donna. She isn’t allowed to take a single step outside.”“If anything happens to the Donna or the baby, you won’t live to see another day.”After making his position clear to me, Edward openly brought Alice home.It was as if he wanted to make me jealous, so he went out of his way to spoil Alice.He bought her limited-edition necklaces, let her wear my pajamas, and even appeared with Alice in the promotional video for the opening of the Family’s club.Alice smiled sweetly.“The Don took me to pick out our wedding rings. Is the next surprise going to be a proposal?”She happily spread her fingers.The ring on her ring finger caught the light so brightly that it hurt my eyes.Behind her, Edward was beaming, gazing at her with undisguised affection.Suddenly, I remembered his trembling hands at

Early the next morning, all the servants in the house were nowhere to be found.I had no choice but to leave alone for my prenatal checkup.A black SUV silently glided toward me and stopped directly in my path.Three men jumped out.The man leading them was Edward’s distant cousin, Lorenzo.“Donna.”He flashed me a grin.“Oh, no. I should call you a traitor.”“Get out of my way.”My voice trembled.Lorenzo calmly pulled out a phone.My profile photo was displayed prominently on the screen, with four words in red beside it:FAMILY TRAITOR.He tilted the screen toward me.“You didn’t know, did you?”“Miss Alice uploaded a detailed account of what happened back then to the Family’s internal network.”“How do you still have the nerve to stay in Sicily, let alone remain by the Don’s side?”He raised his fist and drove it into my stomach.Pain exploded through me like a bolt of lightning.My entire body doubled over, my knees crashing onto the ground as both hands instinctively shielded my a

“The child is kicking me. I feel so uncomfortable, Don.”Alice raised her voice, deliberately drowning out what I had just said.Edward immediately scooped her into his arms and rushed toward the doctor’s office.He left me with only one sentence.“Get some rest. I’ll come back to see you and the baby.”I stood there in a daze, watching them disappear around the corner.He was going to come back.He was going to come back to see me and our baby.But there was no baby left to see.My hand slowly drifted to my lower abdomen.It was so flat that I could hardly believe that only a few hours ago, there had still been a tiny life growing inside me.Our child.The child I had spent seven months protecting.Edward had once told me he wanted a son who looked just like him or a girl who looked just like me.All of it was gone.And Edward didn’t even know.I had told him.He simply hadn’t listened.The man who had once sworn that I was the most important person in his life had walked away .I wip

Lilith had already arranged a private flight to the United States.By the time I arrived at the airport, the sky was beginning to darken.I didn’t tell anyone where I was going.Only Lilith knew.I deleted my old phone number.I changed my contact information.I left behind almost everything that connected me to the woman I had once been.When the plane finally took off, I rested my forehead against the cold window.The gray-blue Mediterranean slowly disappeared beneath the clouds.I stared at it until my eyes began to ache.This was the place where I had grown up.The place where my parents had died.The place where I had met Edward.The place where I had loved him.And the place where I had lost my child.I closed my eyes.“Goodbye, Sicily.”A tear slipped silently down my cheek.Lilith stayed beside me until I was settled in a small apartment on the outskirts of the city.She wanted to stay.I refused.“You have to go back.”“Monica…”“I’ll be fine.”She looked at me for a long time

Late that night, Edward returned home with Alice.He finally noticed that the wedding portrait was gone.A wave of unease washed over him, as if something was slipping away from him.“Don, I wore the outfit you love most today…”For the first time, Edward coldly pushed Alice away and walked straight toward Monica’s room.Just one glance was enough to leave him frozen in place.Every single one of Monica’s belongings was gone.Edward sat down on the sofa and irritably lit a cigarette.A soft body pressed against his back.Thinking it was Monica, he smiled.“Monica, don’t run away from home again next time. You’re not a child anymore!”But the voice that sounded beside his ear was Alice’s soft and vulnerable one.“Don, do you not love me anymore?”She used the sweet, delicate tone he usually loved so much.But now, Edward found it unbearably irritating.Suppressing his impatience, he coaxed her.“Of course I do.”Alice leaned in to kiss his lips.“Then, Don, you’re not allowed to think a

Edward had only one thought in his mind.He had to get Monica back.He had to tell her that she was the only woman he had ever loved.On the way, he called his underboss to ask about Monica’s whereabouts.The underboss hesitated before answering.“Don, the Donna left Sicily last night.”“I called you, but Miss Alice answered. She said you already knew and told me not to worry about it.”Edward felt as if he had stopped breathing.Monica had left?How could she bear to leave him?How could she leave without even caring about their child?The underboss hesitated again.“There’s something else you should probably know.”“The Donna lost the baby because Lorenzo and his men cornered her and beat her.”Edward couldn’t believe what he had heard.He asked again.“What did you say?”“Monica lost the baby?” Edward’s grip on the phone tightened abruptly, his knuckles turning white.He pulled up the phone and immediately turned the car around.Alice was still lying on her bedroom bed, clutching h
