Amara lingered at the threshold for a moment, her grandfather’s words echoing in her chest like a heavy toll of a bell. His hand had trembled against hers, his eyes sharp despite the years that weighed on them. He was worried not only about her safety, but about Zogo……. Does he truly have good intentions? Can he protect you when the storm comes? His doubt gnawed at her even though she tried to mask her unease.

When the heavy wooden door closed softly behind her, the faint smile she had forced f

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 89: Plans and Quiet Moments

    “As for why it was kept hidden,” she continued, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, “what do you think would have happened if people found out that I…the one you all called a fool and confused, the granddaughter of Don Victor, had married Zogo Walton? It would have happened before I was even ready, before I had properly taken my place in this company. Every greedy person, every opportunist, every vulture would have come running not to help me, but to use this marriage to ask for favors, to demand shares, and to grab power. And you two would have been the first to twist this into something ugly, wouldn’t you?”Damian opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out at first. When he finally found his voice, it sounded rough and unsteady.“But… this is impossible! How could Father agree to something like this without asking the rest of the family? Without even telling us? It goes against all our traditions…”“Tradition?” Amara spoke softly, but there was a sharp edge to her words. “My g

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 88: The Alliance No One Saw Coming

    Husband?The word hung in the heavy silence like a thunderclap, sharp and deafening.Edgar and Damian froze in their seats as if struck by a bolt of lightning. Their eyes stretched wide, their jaws went slack, and for a long moment, neither of them could draw a proper breath. They stared first at Zogo Walton, their minds refusing to accept what they had just heard, then whipped their heads around so fast their necks ached, turning their full, disbelieving gaze toward Amara.Zogo Walton… Amara’s husband?How could this be possible? When had it happened? How could such a monumental event have taken place without a single whisper reaching their ears? For years, they had kept close watch over her movements, believing she lived a quiet, isolated life in the countryside, far removed from the high society and business circles of the capital. Meanwhile, Zogo Walton was a man who moved among the highest ranks of power, traveling across continents, building an empire that few could even approac

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 87: He Will Not Let Them Hurt Her

    Zogo noticed every little detail: the faint blush spreading across Amara’s cheeks, the deep red that crept all the way to the tips of her ears, and the way she quickly lowered her head, burying herself behind the documents as if she could hide her fluster between the pages. To anyone else in the room, she might have looked perfectly calm and composed, but not to him. He saw it all clearly, and strangely enough, he found it utterly adorable.A soft, knowing smile touched his eyes, though he wisely chose not to say a word about it. He knew if he teased her now, she would only grow even more embarrassed, and he rather liked seeing this shy, unguarded side of her.Truthfully, Zogo did not fully understand himself either. Ever since the day they first met, something inside him had shifted, and a side of him he never even knew existed had begun to emerge freely and naturally, without any effort or pretense. With everyone else, he remained exactly the man the whole business world knew: cold,

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 86: The Husband They Never Knew Existed

    Zogo moved with a natural, effortless authority, his stride long and confident, as if this company, this room, and everything inside it already belonged to him. Behind him followed Brook and Finn, their expressions serious and alert, guarding his steps. Zogo did not stop or pause to greet anyone, nor did he acknowledge the stunned faces of the two older men seated at the table.He walked straight toward the head of the table, right to where Amara sat, and without hesitation, he pulled out the empty chair beside her and sat down right next to her, as if he had every right to be there.Edgar and Damian were frozen in their seats, their eyes wide with confusion, shock, and a sudden, rising fear.They knew Zogo Walton very well. For years, they had tried countless times to approach him, to invite him to events, to meetings, to dinners, hoping to build a connection with one of the most powerful, influential men in the country. But every single time, he had turned them down flat. He had ign

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 85: Zogo Walton’s Uninvited Arrival

    Amara’s smile widened, cold and sharp, cutting through his excuses like a blade. She leaned back in the large CEO’s chair, looking at him as one would look at a child caught stealing candy: amused, disappointed, and entirely in control.“Is that so, Uncle?” she asked, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. “You told them I was unstable, unfit, and incapable… all because you were worried about my health? You whispered to them that I was too young, too naive, too confused… and you did that out of the goodness of your heart? Tell me… did you also mention to them how you visited every single director’s office one by one, long before this meeting? Did you tell them how you promised them higher positions, bigger shares, and full authority… if only they would stand against hand and me the company over to you?”Damian went completely still. His face drained of all color until he looked like a ghost.Edgar stiffened in his seat, his jaw tightening so hard the muscles stood out. His calm, ruthl

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 84: The Guardianship They Tried to Steal

    Edgar and Damian exchanged a sharp, knowing glance. Finally, it clicked in their minds that this was exactly why Amara had survived that assassination attempt at the cemetery days ago. She hadn’t been lucky, and she certainly hadn’t been defenseless. She had been ready.A cold shiver ran through both men. Fear coiled tight in their chests.Does she know it was us?Does she know we sent those killers?They studied her carefully. Up until now, she had only moved against Morrie, Campos, and the other directors who had openly stolen funds or sabotaged the company. She had never once mentioned the attack, never hinted that she knew who was behind it. They told themselves that she must still be as naive and sheltered as she appeared. She had only gone after the ones whose crimes were obvious, right in front of everyone’s eyes. She couldn’t possibly know about the darker, secret things they had done.Convinced that she was still easy to manipulate, they decided to test their luck and make th

    The room exhaled all at once. Alta grinned at Delta, Jerald muttered something about miracles, and Brook's shoulders sagged with relief. But Amara didn't hear any of them. Her eyes were on Zogo, on the way his strong shoulders trembled as he bowed his head close to his mother's hand.She had never

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 35: The Blood in the Cure

    The group gathered around the main table as Dr. Rafael began grinding a piece of the herb, mixing it with clear liquid from a vial. The scent that rose from the mixture was sharp and strange, making everyone wrinkle their noses. Amara leaned forward, watching closely, her eyes filled with concern n

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 34: The Waiting and the Cure

    The temple halls felt larger in the silence. Amara sat by the long table, her fingers tapping nervously against the wood as the minutes stretched into what felt like hours and hours turn into a day and night. A lamp burned low beside her, but the pale gray of early morning was already seeping throu

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 33: Herbs of the First Light

    The air was cool as they climbed the steep path up Temple Hill. The stones were slick with dew, and in the faint light they glimmered like silver. The smell of damp earth and wild grass clung to them as they moved higher, while the last notes of the cricket chorus faded into the soft trill of wakin
