Chapter 1

Alessio believed his power was enough to fuel his arrogant fantasy of having Sophia get his preference.So be it. I'm gone. It means nothing to me. But as for my daughter's blood and for everything I had lost, I swore I would make them pay.In the house of God, I heard their blasphemy with my own ears.From the family church's confessional, Sophia's soft voice slithered into my ears like a venomous snake."Alessio, when are you going to tell everyone? You promised me.""Soon, my baby, Just waiting for her to recover from the grief of losing our daughter. It's not the right time.""Poor girl. The child's true misfortune was having a mother as weak as her. But don't worry, I'll give you a real heir.""She's my wife, isn't she?" His voice held for a moment, a perfect non-answer. "But I'd much rather be with you right now, baby."My husband, the new Don of the Greco family, could talk about his wife without so much as flinching, all while his hands were on another woman.This time, I would

Chapter 2

In the study, Sophia's legs were wrapped around Alessio's waist, her nails scratching bloody marks onto his back."You owe me an explanation," Sophia's voice came through the speaker. "That antique pistol you gave Blair is a Greco family heirloom, right? She didn't even have to ask, and you gave her your most precious possession. What happened to 'you like me more'?""Blair?" Alessio panted heavily as he pushed her legs off his waist. "She's key to my position as Don. I've already explained this. I need a respectable wife for the other families. It solidifies my status.""But I don't want to share, Alessio." Sophia bit his lower lip. "I can't help but be jealous of everything she has."My fingers dug into the armrest of the sofa."Be patient, baby." Alessio pushed her down onto the desk. "Once I get the inheritance my grandfather left her, Blair will be useless to me."He took a black velvet box from a drawer and opened it to reveal a custom, diamond-encrusted pistol.He dangled it in

Chapter 3

A knot formed in my chest. I kept my head down, pretending not to notice, but Alessio did."Father, Mother." Alessio's expression was grave, his voice carrying the authority of the Don. "If you show my wife any more disrespect, don't blame me for returning the favor."After a dead silence, Raul slammed his hand on the table, making me jump."Watch your tone. Are you really going to betray your own blood for this woman?"Alessio gripped my hand, giving me no room to move, and calmly retorted, "Father, she is the love of my life.""Harming her is the same as harming me.""If it happens again, don't blame me for turning on you."His acting was always so flawless, so seamless. Anyone witnessing this scene would say he truly loved me.Too bad he didn't know my fingers were cold not because of his parents, but because of him.Alessio stood before me, a perfect protector, but I felt no safety from him.Sensing the tension, Margaret instantly shed her cold demeanor and put on a fake smile."Al

"I'm tired." I pushed him away. "I want to get some rest.""Of course." He kissed my forehead. "You go on up. I have a few calls to make."As I walked toward the stairs, I heard him on the phone in the living room, his voice low."Yes, I know you're worried, but she won't suspect a thing. She's always trusted my loyalty."In the past, I would have insisted he carry me upstairs. This time, I didn't look back and went straight up.The next morning, when I pushed open the bedroom door, I froze.Over the sound of the shower, a woman was humming softly.I walked over just as the bathroom door happened to open. Sophia stood there wrapped in my silk robe, a smug smile on her face.She wasn't startled. In fact, her smile only widened."Oh, Blair! You're back." She tightened the belt, sauntering out with a lazy confidence. "I accidentally spilled some wine on myself earlier. Alessio told me to come up and wash it off.""Are you wearing my clothes?" I pointed to the silk robe she had on. It was

Chapter 5

I slowly turned to see Alessio's ashen face, his voice trembling."What deal?" he asked again.My heart skipped a beat, but I forced a faint smile, my mind scrambling for an excuse."It's not my deal. A friend's gallery is looking to acquire some European collectibles. She just called and asked me to help contact a broker."For a moment, he just stared at me, as if he didn't quite believe me.Then suddenly, he pulled me into his arms and swept me off my feet.In the car, Alessio was silent.I stole a glance at his profile. His jaw was clenched, clearly suppressing something."Blair," he said abruptly. "What's been wrong with you lately?""What do you mean?""You've been different ever since we lost our daughter." He gripped the steering wheel. "You've changed."I grew nervous, afraid I'd give myself away. "I haven't changed.""Then why are you always doing things behind my back?" He stopped the car and turned to look at me. "Why do you look at me like I'm a stranger? Why don't you tell

Chapter 6

(Alessio's POV)I brought Sophia home this morning. She was clinging to my arm and wouldn't let go, but it was nothing. It was just a sister's affection for her brother. That was all.On my way back, I stopped at the luxury boutique and picked up the latest limited-edition bag for Blair. I knew she'd been a bit unhappy lately, and though I didn't know why, I knew a little gift would make her forget all about it.But when I stepped into the villa today, something felt wrong.There was an eerie silence.Normally at this time, Blair would be just getting up for breakfast or reading by the window. But today, she was nowhere to be found.The air didn't carry the scent of Blair's usual perfume, nor the smell of paint from her late-night sessions.Desperation clawed at me as I frantically called her phone, searching every room. No one answered.My heart skipped a beat. I called her personal maid."Don," her voice trembled over the phone. "The Donna… she left last night. In a hurry.""She too

Chapter 7

(Alessio's POV)"That's impossible." I shook my head. "She can't be pregnant."But deep down, I knew it was entirely possible. These past two weeks, we had...Was this God's punishment?Ever since my daughter died, I had wanted a child of my own, a child with Blair.But now, this child was with another woman.My entire world felt like it was shattering in an instant.I sat by Sophia's bed, watching her sleep, surrounded by all that damn medical equipment. The monotonous beep of the heart monitor was the only thing keeping me awake.Blair's face kept flashing in my mind, the photos she left, that recording.And I'd said it myself that Sophia was my number one. Blair would never want another child with me now.Luca entered quietly. "Don, the Donna's flight has landed in Paris."Hearing this, I wanted to rush out immediately, to bring her back at any cost. But as I started to get up, my phone rang. It was my parents."Alessio!" My mother Margaret's voice was full of excitement. "We heard!

Chapter 8

(Blair's POV)I watched Alessio stumble through the villa doors.Sitting in front of the computer in my safe house, I watched my former husband through the villa's hacked surveillance system.He reeked of alcohol, blood smearing his face from a split lip. He looked like he had clawed his way out of hell."Pathetic," I sneered, my fingers tapping lightly on the keyboard as I adjusted the camera angle.But honestly, seeing him like this didn't give me the satisfaction I had expected.There was only an empty feeling, like watching a stranger's tragedy unfold.He walked into the art studio, and I saw him pick up a paintbrush I had left behind.It was my favorite sable brush, worth three hundred dollars, a birthday gift from him. I had used it to paint countless portraits of him.On the screen, his hand holding the brush was trembling."Remembering the good times now?" I murmured.The camera feed was clear. I could see the complex emotions on his face. First, a softness, as if he was recall

Chapter 9

(Margaret Greco's POV)"Is it done?"I sat in the private room of the family's club, the red velvet curtains drawn tight, the crystal chandelier casting a dim, yellow light.Across from me, Luca nervously adjusted his tie, his forehead glistening with a fine sheen of sweat.I slowly pulled off my white lambskin gloves. These hands had caressed countless precious jewels, signed documents that changed the family's destiny, and had also... done far filthier things."It's clean," Luca's voice trembled slightly. "Our man inside the airline followed the plan. Flight AF007 went down mid-flight. The official cause is mechanical failure.""Blair Greco's name is third on the list of first-class fatalities.""And the search and rescue?""The seas are extremely rough, water temperature is only four degrees Celsius. Even if she miraculously survived the impact, she couldn't have lasted more than twenty minutes in those conditions."I took a delicate sip of champagne, feeling the bubbles pop on my t

Chapter 10

(Alessio's POV)"No, Blair, don't go!"I woke from the nightmare, drenched in a cold sweat.In the dream, she was in the burning wreckage of a plane, crying out my name and reaching for me, but I could never quite get to her.The clock on the nightstand read three in the morning. I hadn't slept for four straight days."Luca!" I grabbed the phone by my bed. "Get over here. Now."Luca's face was drawn when he appeared. He knew exactly what I was going to ask. "Don, the search and rescue teams are still working, but…""I don't want to hear it," I cut him off. "I want the body. I need to see her for myself.""The search area is too vast, Don. And it's been four days. Even if they find her…" He trailed off.My jaw tightened. "Say it.""Even if they find her, it might only be… pieces." Luca swallowed hard.The phone slipped from my hand, and I collapsed onto the edge of the bed. I couldn't accept the idea of my Blair being reduced to pieces."Double the manpower," my voice came out hollow. "
