I was hiding in the car trunk of my boyfriend, Chase McGregor, while grabbing my pregnancy report in one hand. In the other hand, I held a limited-edition watch I had specifically prepared for him. I wanted to surprise him with my pregnancy. "Chase, you wouldn't actually marry Daphne, would you?"What can she offer you? Love? Loyalty? These are worth nothing in our world."Lucille Gervais wants to marry you. Her family is in charge of the entire North Sea. Once you marry her, you'll gain control of all the shipping routes, cargo operations, and drug trade on the North Sea."Yeah, Chase, stop being a fool. Daphne is nothing—she doesn't deserve to become your wife."My breath hitched as my nails sank deep into my palms. I anticipated Chase's retort, even if there was a slight hesitation to it. However, his voice was cold as he replied, "Arrange a meeting for me with Lucille. I'll break up with Daphne."The pregnancy report slipped from my fingers, disappearing into the darkness of the

I called Dad and told him that I was already on the plane back home. The entire airport was cleared. From the runway to the terminal, every corner was filled with his men. A line of black bulletproof cars stretched across the tarmac, mercenaries standing on either side. They all donned sunglasses, and the bulge of firearms beneath their suits was clearly visible. The airport security had no choice but to step aside, not daring to interfere. My father was the most respected Mafia don on the East Coast, and he came to pick me up himself.Time hadn't left a mark on him except for his imposing presence. Clad in a black coat, he scanned his surroundings with his piercing gaze. Every single person who met his eyes immediately lowered their heads and fell silent. But the moment his gaze fell on me, his expression softened. Dad approached me and took me into his embrace. With a heart-wrenching look on his face, he asked, "Who has the audacity to make my princess suffer?"I didn't answer

"Pin her down! I'll expose her in front of everyone today!" Lucille boomed. All her subordinates immediately rushed toward me, trying to seize me. I glowered at Lucille, who looked exactly like a shrew. Meanwhile, Chase hurried toward her and snatched the phone away from her. "Lucille, enough! Let's leave first. There was really nothing between me and Daphne!" he said, trying to drag her away. But Lucille was boiling with rage. In the next instant, she slapped him across the face and hissed, "Chase, it should be an honor for you to marry me! How dare you get yourself involved with other women?"As she lashed out at him, she delivered several blows to his face. With his head hung down, he retreated backward meekly, lacking even the courage to retaliate. I snorted, leisurely watching the scene before me. Chase, the mafia boss who had once been a somewhat influential figure in the underground world, now seemed so servile in front of a woman. How ironic. I lifted my hand, signaling

I recounted everything that had happened to Father. The moment I said my last word, he bellowed, "In that case, terminate all deals with the Gervais family now!"Over these years, the Gervais family had been struggling. They had finally gotten slightly better after securing a few deals from Father, but Lucille had no idea. She had been so audacious to prance around on our territory, even claiming that she was going to kill me. Such atrocity would not be tolerated. "I'm going to call the Don and have him take you out!" she screamed, visibly agitated. "I’m calling my best friend, she’s the Don’s daughter!"I glanced at her coldly. "Make your call then. I'd also like to find out who your best friend is."Lucille became stunned. She was well aware that she didn't even know the name of the Gambino family's heiress, let alone be acquainted with her. But from the moment she arrived, she was so confident that she could become best friends with the Gambino heiress that she grew incredibly r

Chase was drowning in regret, and I was well aware of that. He called me every single day, though I blacklisted his number every time I received a call from him. I had no idea how many numbers he'd changed after I finally had some peace. I had put him behind me; it was all in the past now. As for the Gervais family, they had been in deep financial trouble the moment they lost their biggest client—our family. Charles and his father worked hard to secure deals from other families, but none offered to help. Their family was on the brink of bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Chase's mini-empire was also crumbling due to his feud with our family. Lucille still brought him back to the Gervais family. When her father saw him, I heard he immediately shot him in the chest. His injury was way worse this time. Due to overwhelming grief, Lucille lost a lot of blood during childbirth, and her baby didn't survive. In the aftermath of such sorrow, the Gervais family took their anger out on Chase. I hear
