Chapter 4

Author: Ding
It was finally the day of the meeting, and every one of the five dominant Mafia Famiglias of Novaris' criminal underworld, also known as the Cinque Famiglias, was in attendance.

Papa and Marco took their places at opposite ends of the long table, while I sat behind Papa, watching the proceedings in silence.

Fiora was standing in a corner nearby. She was supposed to be in Lansport, but she was still lingering in Novaris. She looked at me with a mix of emotions, and her mouth twitched as if to s

  • Why's the Don Crying After I Dumped Him?   Chapter 10

    It was the third month since we settled in Nobilis. There were now two cats and one dog in our house, and the yard was filled with lemon trees and bougainvillea.I would wake up every morning to a view of the sea through my window.Papa went to the dock to fish every day. He would occasionally bring home a large grouper, which we would fry for dinner. Mamma grew vegetables in the backyard—tomatoes, basil, and chili peppers—picking a handful whenever she cooked pasta. They couldn't have been fresher.Vincenzo showed up during our fourth month in Nobilis. He had traded his suits for a white linen shirt, khakis, and canvas sneakers. He didn't look like a Don anymore; he just looked like a good-looking Ilyrian man. "I just happened to pass by, Lina. Is that coffee still on the table?"I lightly stepped aside and said, "Sure."He walked into the yard and settled into the wicker chair beneath the lemon tree. He took a sip of the coffee that I had brewed for him and poured it into one of

    In the end, only Marco, Vincenzo, and I were left in the warehouse.Marco was still holding me, his hands trembling while asking, "Are you alright, Lina?"I pushed him away, saying, "Let go of me, Marco."Marco looked devastated. "I really had no idea that my mother would go this far, Lina. I—""You're clueless about so many things, Marco," I said as I rose to my feet, Vincenzo draping his coat around me. I then glared at Marco and continued, "Do you know that your mother was just about to kill me? Do you know that if Vincenzo hadn't arrived, I would be at the bottom of the Sanguine River right now? You don't. You're clueless about everything. You only care about Fiora, your 'last time,' and how hard everything is for you."Marco's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm sorry, Lina. I—"I cut him off, saying, "You don't have to apologize to me, Marco. You know, my biggest mistake wasn't loving you—it was staying after the first time you cheated. You lied every time you promised me tha

    I was hurled onto the floor, struggling desperately as I tried to crawl back.Donna approached and assumed a crouching position to observe me. She was dressed in a Chanel outfit with her hair meticulously styled and a brand-new manicure. She appeared to be a socialite who had just finished playing bridge at the country club, but her eyes were devoid of warmth.She spoke in a very light tone, as if she were discussing a trivial matter. "You little tramp! You really thought you could wreck my son's Famiglia, huh? Did you think you could just walk out on the DeLuca Famiglia, Lina?"I looked her in the eye, feeling utterly incredulous. "Your son was the one who cheated on me first, Donna."Donna sneered. "You call that cheating? You ought to know that I was the one who told him before the wedding that it is normal for a man to have someone else on the outside. I mean, his father had nearly seven or eight mistresses, and I had never complained about it. "Who cares about a mere strippe

    I stated coldly, "You'd better keep your people in check, Marco."Marco hesitated on the other end of the line before stating cautiously, "There's really nothing going on between Fiora and me, Lina."I couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore, so I said, "You should go look at the posts online. You guys made the first move, so don't blame me for being ruthless, Marco."I immediately ended the call after saying that.Marco instantly checked the posts on his phone, his face paling as he looked through them. He called me back almost immediately, saying, "I truly had no knowledge of this, Lina. You have to believe me!"I sneered. "It was your people who pulled this, regardless of whether you were in the loop. You'd better not blame me for hitting back since they wanted to start something, Marco."Marco's voice carried a hint of pleading while saying, "You can rest assured that I'll take care of this situation, Lina."He then went silent for a good while before finally asking t

    Fiora appeared thinner than before, her high cheekbones casting shadows over deep-set eyes. She was dressed in a black turtleneck that contrasted with her increasingly pallid face."Have you no shame, Lina? Why are you still involved with Marco after calling off the engagement?" Fiora's voice was gravelly, her expression weary instead of the expected radiance.I immediately understood what was happening and looked at her with pure derision. I was no longer standing in their way, so all that drama—the pining, the pity, and the "final goodbyes"—lost its justification. "I don't like picking up trash that others have thrown away, Fiora. If you are so capable, then keep a tighter leash on your man."Flora's eyes went bloodshot with rage, her face twisting in fury. She tried to swing her hand to slap me, but someone grabbed her arm from behind in a vice-like grip."Is it that even just any random, insignificant person dares to act in Bellevue now?"I looked on as Vincenzo tossed Fiora

  • Why's the Don Crying After I Dumped Him?   Chapter 5

    Upon returning to the estate in Bellevue, Mamma had already seen to it that the kitchen prepared a feast; after all, we had won a decisive victory.I had actually consulted with Papa the day I returned from Aethelgard. He was well into his years, and all I ever wanted was for him to live out his retirement in comfort.I knew that Marco had betrayed my trust, but staying in that relationship would have cost me Papa's legacy and everything three generations of the Moretti Famiglia had built. I decided it wasn't worth the sacrifice.Having spent the whole night smoking, Papa spoke to me the following morning. "You should go seek out the Luciano Famiglia. They've been after the port for years, so it's better to sell it to them for a high price now than to let the DeLuca Famiglia slowly pick it apart."I reached out to Vincenzo Luciano, the Don of the Luciano Famiglia. He was a cunning middle-aged man, as shrewd as they come. He processed my proposal in silence for a long time before sa
