Chapter 1

My phone wouldn't stop vibrating.One photo after another of Vincenzo Moretti and his new lover, Sienna Newton, flooded in. A five-star hotel, a champagne-filled bathtub, her seductive red lips… They kissed like no one else existed.And me?I, Isabella Bradford, an executive at Stonehaven Healthtech, once the most independent and clear-headed kind of woman, had married this bastard.Sienna, covered in kiss marks, leaned against Vincenzo’s chest as if marking her territory.Meanwhile, I lay in a hospital bed, hooked to an IV, drugged, stitched up, and hanging by a thread.At that moment, Renato Moretti—the original Don of the Moretti empire—still didn’t know the full truth.“Isabella,” he said gently, “Vincenzo… he’s a good kid at heart.“You’ve been together so many years. Why not give him another chance? As long as I’m here, no one can take your place in this family.”I didn’t answer.Instead, I tapped on the video Sienna had sent me—a provocation in digital form.Their v

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and looked out at the gray, overcast sky.Autumn in Stonehaven was as bleak and cold as ever.The phone rang—it was Vincenzo.“Did you go complaining to my father again? Sienna and I finally had a moment alone, and you had to ruin everything—again!“I’m warning you: if you stick your nose in my business one more time, I’ll cancel every single one of your credit cards!”In the past, I would have apologized instinctively, bowed my head, even if it wasn’t my fault.But now, I simply replied in a flat tone, “Do whatever you want.”There was a pause on the other end.Vincenzo was stunned by my indifference, but quickly recovered.“Don’t play games, Isabella,” he chuckled.“As long as you’re still Mrs. Moretti, I have a hundred ways to break you—piece by piece.”I already knew the depths of his cruelty.I still remember the first time I caught him cheating.Naively, I thought Renato would stand up for me. Instead, Vincenzo unleashed

Chapter 3

The doctor instructed me to rest as I finally pieced together the reason behind Vincenzo’s violent outburst.The death of my baby devastated Renato. In his grief, he immediately mobilized the family’s power to blacklist Sienna across the board.Sienna, convinced that I was behind it all, exaggerated the story and complained bitterly to Vincenzo.In a fit of rage, he came to the hospital and laid his hands on me.To appease Sienna, Vincenzo went further. He revoked my shareholder status in the Moretti family business and transferred all my shares to her.He then spent millions to purchase naming rights to an entire star field from an astronomical institute, renaming twenty stars after Sienna.On social media, he posted: [I bought the stars so she alone could shine.]The photo showed him kissing Sienna at a private observatory.In a later interview, Sienna flaunted her diamond ring, beaming with pride.“I never saw myself as a homewrecker. If a woman can’t hold onto her husband’

I didn’t know how much time had passed before the sound of a heated argument between Vincenzo and Renato pulled me out of unconsciousness.I realized I was once again lying on the cold, sterile bed of a hospital room.When Vincenzo saw I was awake, he let out a breath, though his face remained sullen.He shot an annoyed glance at Renato.“This is the perfect wife you picked for me? Out all night, meeting some pretty-boy doctor?”Renato trembled with rage.“Meeting? Do you even know where Isabella went yesterday?”I cut in before the shouting escalated further.“Father—it’s over now.”Renato looked at me, reading the exhaustion and resolve in my eyes. Slowly, he suppressed his anger.Vincenzo, on the other hand, scoffed and waved his hand dismissively.“She’s awake now. That means I’m done here. Sienna’s waiting, and I’m leaving.”“Stop right there!” Renato roared.“I don’t care where you run off to today, but tomorrow, you’re coming back to my estate—with Isabella!”But b

Renato finally erupted.“Your mistress ran Isabella over with her car! Because of the delay in treatment, the child died in her arms!“Isabella’s mother fainted on the spot when she heard the news. A few hours later, she was gone too!“Vincenzo! That was your son! Your flesh and blood! Do you even have a shred of humanity left?”Vincenzo froze.Then, he burst into manic laughter.“Father, you were born for the stage. What did Isabella cry to you about this time? To make me come crawling back, now you’re staging a whole funeral drama? Creative.“You think a mourning table and a few candles will make me feel guilty? Remorseful? Apologetic?”He grabbed the divorce papers and tore them to pieces.“Who said I agreed to a divorce?“She’d never dare to leave me. Don’t kid yourself. She’d never give up the power and fortune that comes with the Moretti name in Stonehaven.”With one swift kick, he flipped the black velvet-covered table.Candles and photographs flew to the floor as th

Vincenzo stood at a deserted intersection, the cigarette in his hand burned down to ash, yet his fingertips felt nothing.He gazed at Stonehaven’s indifferent night sky, and, in that hollow silence, finally realized that the woman who once tried to heal him with gentleness was never coming back.Like a madman, he mobilized the entire Moretti network.He locked down airports, seaports, hospitals, and transit systems. He scoured every outbound record and placed surveillance on the accounts of every friend and relative I had.But he forgot, I was never the obedient, docile woman he imagined.I was never his possession, never his puppet.Ten years ago, I stepped into the underworld to save my mother. Ten years later, I cut every tie and walked out of the darkness on my own terms.At that moment, Renato still lay in a coma. His surgery fees had already climbed into seven figures.The company, shaken by Vincenzo’s volatile state, plunged into chaos. The stock price collapsed, shareho

“Miss Bradford, Mr. Moretti Senior’s condition is deteriorating,” the doctor said over the phone.“He told us… If he doesn’t get to see you one last time, he won’t be able to die in peace.”I froze for a moment, stunned by the weight of the words.Renato Moretti—stern, powerful, commanding. A man who once held Stonehaven’s underground economy in the palm of his hand.Ruthless and resolute in the eyes of the world, yet in my darkest hour, he had quietly draped a coat over my shoulders.“Don’t be afraid,” he had said. “You’re part of the Morettis now. No one can touch you.”He had been the true head of the mafia and the only one who ever made me feel safe.I didn’t hesitate. I went to see him.When I reached the hospital room and saw him lying there, frail and unconscious, my chest tightened.The doctors said his awareness was fading fast, and he could pass at any moment.“Before he lost consciousness,” the nurse whispered, “he kept calling for you.”I took a seat at his bed

Chapter 8

The taxi rolled through the bustling streets.I leaned back in the seat, sunlight pouring through the glass and warming my face, yet I felt numb to its gentleness.The warmth I once knew had been buried along with my mother and baby.The driver, an elderly man with silver hair, glanced at me through the rearview mirror.After a pause, he said softly, “Don’t look back, sweetheart. Look ahead.”He spoke the words I hadn’t dared to say aloud: “Look ahead”.Three days later, the entire Stonehaven financial world erupted in shock.Renato Moretti had passed away, and his final will stunned everyone: he left the family’s core assets and controlling shares to me.As for Vincenzo, the golden boy and presumed heir, he was granted a mere 2% of the company and a forgotten villa in the countryside.Paparazzi swarmed the gates of the Moretti estate.In the tabloids’ grainy photos, Vincenzo sat alone on the stone steps, wrapped in a black coat, unshaven and hollow-eyed, drinking whiskey str
