When the Last Rejection Turned Into a Plea Chapter 12
Rocco's POVThree days had passed. Sofia was huddled in a corner of the dungeon, filthy and soaked through. As she crouched there, she finally thought of her trump card.As the Falcone family's Don, I lost my wife. And it affected the family's morale. It was at an all-time low.Sofia was the only woman tough enough for the job and skilled enough to have my back. She started acting frail in front of the guards. She remarked, "I know Rocco hates me now, but pass him the message, please. The Falcone family needs a tough woman to hold things together and boost morale."I'm the only one who can help Rocco. I'll spend the rest of my life making things right. Please give me another chance to serve the Falcone family."…However, when I showed up at Sofia's cell, there was only contempt in my eyes. Seeing right through her little game, I didn't waver and merely laughed at her. "You're still scheming, Sofia. Did you really think I wouldn't see right through it?"You're responsible for

Rocco's POVJust as I was holding Claire's body and sobbing, the front door of the villa was opened. Sofia came in cheerfully with the same smug smile on her face as always. She had no idea what had happened.She called out sweetly, heading right for my arms like she always would. "I'm back, Rocco. The meeting with the consiglieres today couldn't have gone better. I have talked them into backing me."By the way, I saw Claire the other day. She's been hanging out with those bums on the edge of our turf and hasn't shown up for the Falcone family's duties for days."Don't be too hard on Claire, Rocco. Maybe she's just going through a phase. Just teach her a small lesson and be done with—"Before she could even finish her sentence, I shot up and slapped her. She was caught completely off guard, and she slammed hard into the wall.Clutching her throbbing shoulder, she stared at me in complete shock. "What's wrong with you, Rocco?"My eyes burned with rage she had never seen before. "
When the Last Rejection Turned Into a Plea Chapter 10
The room was drowned in grief when Claire's phone began to ring.At first, Anthony thought it was a telemarketer. However, after a few seconds, he fumbled to put the call on speaker. "Hello, Ms. Moretti," the caller began. "We're following up about the burial plot you selected. Would you like to secure it with a 5% deposit? Ms. Moretti? Are you still there?"My heart skipped a beat when I heard "burial plot". "I wasn't hearing things. When Claire went to file for a divorce, she was already arranging her final resting place." My voice cracked as I explained. "She mentioned the burial plot to me, and I snapped at her for being morbid."Anthony and Lilly held onto each other to stop each other from collapsing. The devastating truth sank in. Claire had been telling the truth all along. She was on her last breath, yet we had turned our backs on every desperate attempt she made to reach out.Feeling heartbroken, Lily grabbed the phone and told the sales representative, "We'll take

Rocco's POVWithout a word, Rosa led us through the restaurant and opened the door to a room at the back.When we finally saw the body covered by a white sheet, Anthony, Lily, and I were stunned. Even the air grew heavy.My voice shook, as if weighed down by a dark premonition. "What is the meaning of this? Why did you bring us here? Is this some kind of joke?"I stormed forward and yanked the sheet off. The moment I saw that familiar face, my world came crashing down. It was Claire, my wife.She lay there, looking so calm, like she was just sleeping. She sported a faint smile, as if she was finally free from all the agony. Unfortunately, she would never wake up again.The thread holding me together seemed to have snapped, and a wave of agony washed over my entire being.The pain was a million times worse than any gunshot wound. It felt like someone had pushed a dagger straight into my heart. Even though I was the Don, I totally fell apart, and I could barely even stand.Lily
When the Last Rejection Turned Into a Plea Chapter 8
Rocco's POVSofia frantically rummaged through the room. The sound of bottles clattering filled the air.She fumbled to open every drawer and rip the lid off every box. She even checked under the vanity, beneath the bed, and the corners of her closet.She darted around like a frightened rabbit, her forehead slick with sweat. After searching for what felt like forever, she still couldn't find what she was looking for.My voice was sharp like daggers. "What are you looking for, Sofia?"She spun and saw me standing outside the door, making her jump. Her voice quivered. "I-I'm not feeling so good. I was searching for my allergy pills."I slowly held up a small white pill bottle I had found in her room before she got back. "You mean this?"Sofia instantly went pale with panic. She knew better than anyone that the bottle didn't contain allergy pills but a custom-made skin irritant she had used to fake her allergic reactions.All it would take was for the Falcone family's best doctor
When the Last Rejection Turned Into a Plea Chapter 7
Rocco's POVBack at Falcone headquarters, I called a meeting with the capos to address the territory dispute with the rival family.Suddenly, my encrypted phone buzzed with an alert. It was an encrypted email from Claire.I impatiently tapped on it, but part of me was relieved that she had finally reached out. "What is she up to this time?"She finally caved in and wanted to make up. Yet, when the recording started playing, my face went as white as a sheet.Sofia's voice came through clear as day. "I started slipping a slow-acting poison into your supplements when you were 14. I was also the one who shoved you off the platform. You can't imagine how happy I was, watching you grow weaker day by day."The audio cut off abruptly, and the room fell into dead silence. The capos exchanged glances in shock, not knowing what to say.I couldn't shake the empty feeling inside, and I knew it was connected to what happened to Claire.I froze for a second before losing it. "This must be fak
