Lahat ng Kabanata ng Husband's New Home: New Keys, No Wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

After my brother, Don Matteo Sabella, finds out I have a crush on our family Consigliere, Lorenzo Gallo, for years, he spikes Lorenzo's wine and has him delivered to my bed.That night, he pushes deep into me, and we lose ourselves in each other.When the sky begins to lighten, Lorenzo stays, kisses my temple, and asks me to marry him.Now that we are married, he is all those things—gentle, perfect, and fiercely possessive—handing me almost everything I desire. I truly believe I've landed the kind of love every woman in our world dreams about.That illusion lasts until the day Matteo gets taken out in an assassination. After that, Lorenzo steps up as the Sabellas' new Don.It isn't long before he says he has family business to handle and disappears overseas for three years. Even on the day I deliver our daughter, Luna Gallo, he can't come home because of some emergency.Then I hear a recording that's blowing up on the family's internal network.His Consigliere chuckles and asks, "Don,

Lorenzo froze. His eyes went wide, filled with emotions I couldn't even name."Alessia, you think threatening me with divorce is fun? If you don't want this party, it ends now. You're my wife, and that's not changing."He shut me out before I could answer. He turned toward the guests, and in a heartbeat, that cold, commanding mafia Don was back."The celebration ends here. Please head out."No one dared to say anything. They just began filing out.A flash of resentment crossed Eliana's eyes, then vanished behind a look of concern. She gently tugged on Lorenzo's sleeve."Lorenzo, this is on Sofia and me. We never should've come back and upset Alessia. If it'll make things better, I'll take Sofia and leave tomorrow—"Lorenzo cut her off, his voice cold. "No. We grew up together. We've long been family to each other. Alessia can be jealous all she wants, but she doesn't get to take it out on you."She actually brought up divorce in front of everyone today. Who knows what she'll tr

When Lorenzo heard Sofia was finally out of danger from the shock, the tightness in his chest eased, but he was left with this strange emptiness.The way Luna had called him "Don" kept snagging on him, like a tiny thorn he felt with every breath. Without thinking, he pulled out his phone and pressed the power button.For the past two days, Lorenzo had kept his phone off to focus on Sofia's treatment. He'd been sure that, if I couldn't reach him, I'd blow up his phone with missed calls and pissed-off texts.But when he finally powered it back on, he froze. There wasn't a single missed call. Surprised, he opened our chat and found the thread frozen exactly where we'd left it two days ago.Back then, he'd been scrambling to pull together the Sabellas' medical team, and when he saw my calls and texts, all he felt was annoyance.He brushed them off as just another cheap, jealous ploy and ignored me. Worse, he even threw those hurtful words at me.Now, looking at that single, lonely me

A week slipped by before I knew it.As the private jet landed in Alveresse, on the castle's helipad by Lake Cerivane, a man who should've been six feet under was leaning against a vintage Bentley, smiling at me.He wore a perfectly cut linen suit, rolling a family crest between his fingers while two silent rows of bodyguards stood behind him like statues.This was Matteo, the former Don of the Sabella family."Uncle Matteo!"Luna flew down the spiral stairs and threw herself into the arms of the man she'd only ever seen in photos.Matteo scooped her up without hesitation. The man whose gaze once made others tremble now looked at her with nothing but warmth."My sweetheart, I finally get to see you."He turned to me, pain and resignation in his eyes. "So, Alessia, you've had your fun? Ready to come home now?"I took off my sunglasses and stared at the lake, ringed by snowy peaks, then drew in a slow breath."Matteo, I don't have a home anymore."Matteo scoffed, something dead
