All Chapters of No More Unloved Wife: The Mafia Queen Returns: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1: A Loveless MarriageAnne returned to the mansion when night had already swallowed the city.The cold wind slipped through her pale brown hair, carrying with it the damp chill of evening that seeped through every layer of her clothes. The house before her, once called a home, now stood with its windows dark and silent, as if it too had forgotten the existence of the woman living inside.She lingered at the doorstep, eyes lifting toward the second floor where Edric’s room was. It was pitch dark, no sign of life, no trace of him returning.Her heart sank, but her feet still moved forward out of habit.Anne walked straight to the kitchen and began preparing dinner.The scent of food slowly filled the air. Red wine–braised beef, cream of mushroom soup, a simple garden salad.All the dishes he liked.Or at least, the ones he once said he liked during that polite, distant dinner before their marriage. She still remembered every word from that conversation, the way they had both ag

Chapter 3: The Last SelfishnessBy the time dawn fully broke, Edric had already left the mansion.The black car glided along a tree-lined road, sunlight flickering through the glass window, tracing pale streaks across his cold, weary face.Inside, he leaned back in his seat, eyes closed, trying to smother the fragments of memory still burning from last night.Anne’s trembling breath, soft cries.The way her tear-stained eyes clung to him, as though the slightest blink might dissolve everything between them.As though her heartbeat had sought to chase him, until the two became one.Such a beautiful woman, yet Edric had almost forgotten that she had been his wife for two long years.He turned on his phone.A message sat unsent on the screen. He stared at it for a long while, then finally added a few more words before pressing send.“Take the morning-after pill. I don’t want another mistake.”He gazed at the text for several seconds.His eyelids fluttered; his lips quivered faintly.Then

Chapter 5: The CowardTwo weeks had passed, yet Edric had not once set foot inside the mansion.Rumors about him and Bella began to spread throughout high society. Newspapers, gossip columns, and social media were flooded with photos, Edric in a black tuxedo, standing beside Bella, the woman who had once been his first love. Their smiles were so familiar, so intimate, that no one could possibly doubt their closeness.Bella had returned and was starting her own career as an independent businesswoman. Edric, of course, had used his vast network of connections to help her build her new empire.Their circle of friends, friends of both Edric and Bella, were more than eager to show their support for the pair. After all, they had never truly accepted Anne.All Anne needed to do was sit at home with her phone, and she could easily follow Edric and Bella’s every move. Those same friends never missed a chance to send her new photos of the two, always with comments sharp enough to cut.Anne had

Chapter 7: There Will Be No Place for Me in That FamilyI left the Raymond Corporation building just as the sun tilted westward. The afternoon light stretched long across the crowded street, glinting on the glass façade of the tower where, only hours ago, I had cast away my past.Inside me, everything fell silent, as if all emotions had dried up. No more anger. No more humiliation. Only emptiness.I caught a bus heading toward the airport. Sitting by the window, I watched the city blur past, the neighborhoods, the strangers, the streetlights beginning to glow in the dusk. I had no destination in mind. I only wanted to leave this place, as far as possible.Then I remembered the town I’d lived in two years ago, before moving to the city with Edric. I opened my phone, checked the flight schedules, and chose the soonest flight there.As the bus crossed the bridge leading out of the city, my phone began to vibrate. On the screen appeared a name I never thought would call me again: Rodina Ra

Chapter 9: Mary SalvariaEver since receiving the call the night before, Lucas Salvaria hadn’t been able to close his eyes.He immediately booked the earliest flight, counting every second until takeoff. Each minute on the plane felt like sitting on burning coals, his nerves stretched to the breaking point.Mary Salvaria had been missing for three years. Though there had never been a body, everyone assumed she was dead, even Lucas, her most trusted right-hand man and cousin.It was only thanks to the current head of House Salvaria, Boss Luther Salvaria, Mary’s father still holding power that her position as the family’s designated heir had remained intact. But lately, that old man’s health had been failing, and many within the family had begun harboring dark ambitions.Foremost among them were her two half-brothers, Alter Salvaria and Leon Salvaria.In recent months, Lucas had been forced to shoulder nearly all of the family’s affairs on behalf of the ailing Lord, crushed under the gr
