Synopsis

Winning Back the Wife

After Death

Bias

Tragic Love

"Ms. Rowe, are you certain you want to delete all identity records? Once they're erased, you'll be completely removed from the system. No one will be able to find you again." Eva Rowe pauses for a moment before nodding with quiet resolve. "Yes. I want to disappear from this world. I want to make sure no one can ever find me." Two seconds of silence follow on the other end, as if they're giving her one last chance to reconsider. "Understood, Ms. Rowe. The wipeout protocol will be completed within 14 days. By then, you'll be officially 'dead' in all databases. Please make the necessary arrangements." With that, the call ends. Eva books a one-way ticket to Felnor, scheduled for 14 days later. Then, she turns off her phone, watching as the screen goes dark. She stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the endless city lights, and lets out a soft, cold laugh. She is no longer anyone's Eva.

Chapter 1
The TV played a live broadcast of Sereno Group's global jewelry launch.The powerful conglomerate, headquartered in Veritas and dominating both luxury and financial sectors across Avalon, had long been shrouded in mystery. But one name loomed behind its empire—Leo Sereno, the enigmatic kingpin of Veritas' criminal underworld.Tonight, for the first time in years, he made a public appearance. Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, he unveiled the group's newest masterpiece—the Amoura Eva necklace.The necklace featured a 30-carat pear-cut diamond at its center, surrounded by seven blood-red rubies. Each stone symbolized silent devotion.The moment it was revealed, media across the globe went into a frenzy, and social media feeds exploded, with hashtags trending in less than a minute.Leo said only one thing. "For her, any price is worth paying."The screen flickered, cutting to street interviews. "Hi there, do you know anything about Don Leo and his wife, Eva's love story?" the

At dawn, as Eva slowly opened her eyes, Leo was already pressing a kiss to her temple. It was tender, yet possessive.He murmured, "Eva, I ruined our anniversary last night. Let me make it up to you today, alright?"She opened her mouth to decline, but the words never made it out. Leo was already giving orders. The security team was instructed to prepare the car. The maid rushed to prepare breakfast. Eva's dress, coat, shoes, and even matching jewelry had all been laid out with obsessive precision.Leo took her to a private estate owned by the Sereno family. It was a castle-like retreat deep in the countryside—one he had built for her, brick by brick. It was her personal wonderland.Today, he had arranged a fairytale anniversary, planned down to the last extravagant detail.Deep within the estate grounds, the private amusement park looked like something out of a dream beneath the sunlight. A vintage carousel turned slowly beside a horse-drawn carriage, a Euria-style hedge maze s

Eva clutched her chest, struggling to breathe.Leo immediately noticed that something was off. He immediately steadied her by the shoulders, his voice full of panic. "Eva, what's wrong?"The worry in his eyes didn't look fake. But it was this same man—the mafia king who had once worshipped her like she was his entire world—who kept so many secrets buried beneath that love.Eva forced her emotions down and managed to steady her voice. "I'm fine... Just a little tightness in my chest."Leo gently rubbed her chest, trying to ease her discomfort. Then, he unfastened his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders, protective and firm. Once he was sure her breathing had steadied, he signaled one of his men to bring the car around and ordered them to take her home.Eva didn't smile once on the ride back.Leo sat beside her, cautious, tentative. "Eva… did I do something wrong?"She shook her head slowly. "No. I just remembered a mafia drama I watched once.""Oh? What was it about?"Sh

The Amoura Eva wasn't just expensive. It was priceless. In the black market, it would only appear at the most exclusive underground auctions. Leo only found out because one of his informants intercepted the catalog and sent word before the auction began.Leo asked, "Eva, why did you sell the Amoura Eva?"Eva didn't look at him. Her voice was calm. "Did you go to the auction?"Leo froze. A flicker of something unreadable passed across his face. After a beat, he spoke, his voice low and careful. "I just... wanted to find you something. Maybe pick out a new piece. So I—"Eva cut him off. "I didn't sell it. I donated it."Leo's jaw clenched, and he gripped her hand. "Eva, I know you're compassionate. You always have been. But if you wanted to donate something, you could've chosen anything else. Not that necklace."He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a velvet box, placing it in front of her. When he flipped it open, there it was—the Amoura Eva, shimmering under the soft l

Eva stayed quiet the whole time. After a while, she just couldn't keep playing along.She said, "It's getting late. I'm heading out."Leo stood to leave with her, but his friends immediately blocked the way."Come on, Leo. Eva's health isn't great—let her rest. But the rest of us haven't seen each other in forever. You can't just bail.""Yeah, let her head home. You stay and chill with us for a bit."Eva gently pulled her hand from Leo's grip and said softly, "Simon will take me. You should stay."Before he could stop her, she turned and walked out. Her steps were quick, and Leo didn't catch up.The car had barely pulled away when Eva reached into her coat and felt a phone that wasn't hers. The phone had a sleek black casing. It was Leo's.She frowned and told Leo's driver, Simon Walker, to turn around.The car had barely stopped outside the Red Rose Club when Eva spotted Cleo stepping out of a luxury sedan. She kept checking her makeup in the car's tinted window, then turne

Chapter 6
Eva burned with a fever all night.Leo stumbled into the villa just before dawn, still reeking of alcohol from the Red Rose Club. The moment he stepped inside, he sensed something was wrong. The air was too still, too quiet.Then he saw Eva. She had collapsed on the bed, her cheeks flushed red and her skin burning to the touch.In an instant, the haze of alcohol vanished. He swept her into his arms and rushed her to their private hospital."Get a doctor. Dr. Wilson—now! If anything happens to her, I swear, I'll bury every one of you with her." His voice was ice-cold, laced with barely contained fury.When Eva opened her eyes again, the sharp scent of antiseptic stung her nose. She stirred, barely able to move, her limbs heavy and her mind hazy.A nurse noticed her stirring and gasped with relief. "Mrs. Sereno, thank God! You've had a high fever for over 24 hours. "Mr. Sereno's been here the whole time. He just stepped out. There was an emergency call from the syndicate he had t

"Nothing," Eva whispered, her voice soft as her eyes welled with tears. She stared out into the night skyline of Veritas.A second later, fireworks burst across the sky, looking brilliant and blinding.Then, she remembered what Cleo had said earlier that day. "He's setting off fireworks in Marrowind tonight to celebrate our little miracle."The sky sparkled, dazzling and surreal, but it wasn't for her.Leo followed her gaze, misreading the look in her eyes. He smiled indulgently, thinking she was dazzled."You like fireworks? I'll plan a whole fireworks show just for you. It'll be even bigger than this. On your birthday, I'll light up the sky from Halden Bay all the way to Elmridge Park. Just for you, okay?"He pulled her into his arms, holding her like something rare and priceless. His voice was low and coaxing.Eva let out a soft laugh. "Leo, I don't like what's already been used."His body stiffened instantly.Silence stretched between them before he tightened his hold on h

Chapter 8
Eva sat quietly in the underground vault, flipping through the love letters Leo had once written to her by hand. They were penned in military-grade invisible ink on black-market anti-forgery paper. In the end, she fed every single one of them into the shredder.The morning she planned to leave, Leo stood by the bed, his expression grim as he stared at the notification on her phone."Your account just received a deactivation confirmation," he said, his voice low and hoarse. "Eva, what did you delete?"Eva calmly took back the phone and pressed her fingerprint on the screen. The screen flashed a single message. "Identity deactivation successful.""My old account was hacked. I had to shut it down," she answered smoothly, a faint smile on her lips.Leo studied her for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her. "Guess what I brought back for you?"She answered flatly, "Strawberry cupcake from Wendover Street."Leo paused. "How did you know?"He remembered that night vividly. She

The man on the other end of the line said, "They're still confirming the identity, but…"Leo cut him off. "No! She's not dead! Confirm the identity immediately. And if there's even the slightest mistake, you'll be buried with her."He ended the call and began to mutter to himself in a daze."She's not dead. No way. Eva, you're just trying to scare me. You're punishing me. Stop it, okay? It's all my fault. Just come back."He charged up the stairs and burst into the study.In the corner, the gift box still sat where Eva had left it. A handwritten note was taped on top. "Open in two weeks."His hands trembled as he peeled away the wrapping and lifted the lid.Inside was a familiar key to the RV—the one he had given her on their 100th day together.Back then, he had said, "If you ever get tired of all of this, take it and drive anywhere you want. If you ever come back, I'll still be here, waiting."Eva had grinned, hugged him tight, and teased, "You better mean it, tough guy."T

Cleo's message came, tinged with a venomous edge. "Eva, do you really think auctioning off that necklace will make Leo go soft? Pathetic. He was just in my bed last night."Attached was a photo—a tangled mess of sheets. It was both proof and provocation.Leo's eyes darkened, and rage surged through his veins. He didn't need confirmation. He already knew who sent it. Grinding his teeth, he typed out a single line. "Cleo, I warned you not to let Eva find out anything about us."Not even three seconds passed before Cleo called.Her tone was all fake sweetness. "Wow, Eva, you're really getting good at faking Leo's tone. Almost had me fooled. If you had any sense, you'd step aside and hand over that mafia queen title to me. I'm the one carrying Leo's baby now."Before she could finish, a cold, familiar voice cut through the line. "Is that so? You think you can lay a finger on Eva and get away with it?" Leo's voice was low and lethal. There was no mistaking it. "The only reason I
