CHAPTER 1: CARMINE CLARKE

Carmine’s POV“Working again? It’s already late, you know. You should at least know how to take some rest,” my childhood best friend, Kyle Sterling said to me over the phone.I didn’t take my eyes off my laptop as I answered him, “I don’t have time to rest when our company is clearly going down. I have to work extra hard so grandpa would be proud of me and assign me as the new director of Clarke Financial Group.”“I mean, you are the only grandchild he has so of course, you’re the only option.”“Not really. You know my cousin Portia right? I heard she’s also working extra just so she could be the next director of the company. It’s not like I will let her do that. I didn’t study hard and worked my ass of all my life just so she could steal my dream like that.”Kyle chuckled, “That’s the Carmine I know. You don’t really know how to give up.”“Of course. I would rather die than lose that position. I will do everything for the company.”“Right. That’s the Carmine Clarke I know.”After fin

CHAPTER 2: THE MAFIA BOSS AND THE PERFECT FATHER

“Looks like you have to join your comrades in hell now, Lucas,” I said as I pointed the gun on his head.Blood was dripping on his face as he knelt down in front of me, “I-I’m begging you, Sylus. Forgive me, please… I still have a family… I have a wife…I—Before he could even finish what he was about to say, I already pulled the trigger and shot him dead.“Pleading won’t work on me, Lucas. Especially for a fucking traitor like you.” I said as I tossed the gun to the floor and removed the gloves I was wearing.“Boss, are we going to meet with Theodore Ornelli?”“No. Let’s visit him tomorrow instead. What time is it already?” I asked Jerome, my personal assistant for ten years.He glanced at his watch and looked at me, “It’s already six in the evening, Sir.”“Let’s head to the kindergarten.”“Yes, boss.”I took off my coat that has a blood stain the moment the limo stopped in front of the kindergarten. I stepped out of the car and smiled as soon as I saw a little girl sitting on a bench

CHAPTER 3: THE PLAN

Carmine’s POV“What’s wrong, grandpa?” I asked the moment I stepped inside his office.There were papers scattered on grandpa’s desk and even on the floor. The distressed look on their faces already tells me that something isn’t right.“Sylus Crivello, he keeps on meddling with our business again.”Sylus Crivello is none other than my family’s and every other businessman’s ultimate enemy and competitor. He is also an infamous mafia boss as what my father and grandpa always say, probably also the reason why no one dares to go against him.“What did he do this time?” I asked.“He probably noticed that our company is starting to be more successful again, so he started sabotaging us again. If this continues, our company will probably go into vain,” dad said.“That can’t happen. We should never let that happen, grandpa. We gave our blood, sweat, and tears for this company. We need to do something. We need to think of a strategy, so he would finally stop messing with us.”“You are right, Ca

CHAPTER 4: PREPARATION

I still can’t believe how I ended up agreeing with my father and grandpa’s plan on pretending to be the missing wife of that mafia boss. Well, it’s all because of the company. I’d rather lose my dignity than our company.“Alright, so we have to start first with Charlotte Greene’s background. She was born in New York City in December 1997. She actually has an older brother named Luke Greene who is a doctor. Her mom died from cancer and her dad left them when she was just ten for another woman.”I was listening intently to the woman who my dad and grandpa assigned to help me be Charlotte Greene in one month. I need to know everything about her to pass the stupid plan.“She met Sylus at a club one time when she was having fun with her friends. As you can see, Charlotte is a jolly and playful woman. Based on what we have researched, she actually had ten boyfriends but none of them lasted three months aside from Sylus which became her husband later on.”Ten boyfriends? How can she even aff

CHAPTER 5: CHARLOTTE

I stared at my reflection in the mirror and saw a different woman.The mole on my right cheek vanished and moved to the left. My hair that once were long and straight became shorter and wavy. I was wearing an off-shoulder top paired with a skinny white washed jeans and high stilettos. Something that I never wanted to wear.Well, of that changed when I became a different person.“What is your name?”“My name is Amelia Castro.”Sarah, the woman who trained me to become Charlotte Greene nodded her head, “That’s right. And where did you live for the past three years?”“I-I live in an island as a flower shop owner together with my grandmother named Cecilia Castro.”“How old are you?”“My grandma told me I am already twenty-eight years old.”She began clapping her hands while smiling at me, “Good job, Carmine. You really made it. You are going to pretend as the Charlotte Greene who lost her memories after the plane crash. At least in that way, you won’t have to know everything about Charlot
