Chapter 1

At the family’s most prestigious gala, my husband—the Don, Alexander—arrived with his secretary, Elena, on his arm.Pinned to her chest was the ruby brooch that symbolized the position of the donna, the mistress of the family.Before I could even speak, Alexander glanced at me with casual indifference. "Ivy, don't be so petty."He wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly with a napkin, his tone suggesting this was entirely reasonable."Elena took a bullet for me. She liked the brooch, so I let her borrow it for a while. Regardless, you are the only donna here. Try to show some class."Elena touched the brooch with a coy smile, her eyes provoking me. "Yes, Ivy. The Don said the red suits me better. It’s just a brooch; surely you don't mind?"Alexander looked at her with indulgence, then turned to me with a promise."If you're upset, I’ll bid on a bigger diamond for you at the auction next week. Just be a good girl and don't make a scene in front of the family."I looked at his feigned af

After hanging up, I didn't hesitate. I started packing immediately. Since I had decided to leave, I wouldn't leave anything behind.The next morning, Alexander brought Elena back to the estate and went straight to the private underground armory."I'm taking Elena to the range. She needs a weapon for self-defense." Alexander saw me packing and offered a careless explanation, his tone still arrogant. "Still at it? Where exactly do you think you're moving to?"I ignored him and continued folding my clothes into the suitcase.Elena, however, walked straight to the display cabinet and picked up a custom gold Beretta—Alexander’s birthday gift to me last year. I used to practice shooting with it."Wow, this gun is gorgeous." Elena played with the weapon, the muzzle swaying intentionally past my forehead, a fake smile plastered on her face. "Oops, sorry, Ivy. My hand slipped. Since the Don is teaching me how to shoot, surely I can borrow this one for a bit?"Looking at the black muzzle pointed

After Alexander left with Elena, he vanished for a full week.For that entire week, the rumor mill in Sicily’s underworld was buzzing. They said the Don had taken his beloved new mistress to the high seas for the annual yacht party, and that she would soon be the new donna.My phone kept buzzing with private photos sent by Elena.The first was of her sunbathing on the deck of a luxury yacht, wearing a barely-there bikini. The caption read: [The Don says only the ocean blue matches my eyes.]The second was a photo of a man’s hand applying ointment to her inner thigh. The pinky ring, symbolizing the Don’s absolute power, stung my eyes.The caption read: [I bumped into something, and the Don insisted on applying the medicine himself. He’s so nervous about me.]I looked at the photos and felt no heartbreak, only a dead, ashen numbness.I had finished packing. All that was left was to deliver the documents for the transfer of the family's core power and get them signed. After that, I would

Time passed slowly; every second was torture. It wasn't until that rainy night that Alexander returned.He was carrying a blood-soaked Elena. She wasn't actually hurt that badly—just a knife wound on her leg. It looked gory and shocking, but I could tell at a glance that it missed any major arteries.Alexander radiated a violent aura. After handing Elena over to the doctor, he turned to me."Take her to the torture chamber," he ordered the bodyguards coldly.I was forced to my knees on the cold stone floor by two burly enforcers.A short while later, Elena, her wound dressed, limped out, leaning weakly against Alexander’s chest."Don... don't blame Ivy. Maybe I accidentally offended her..." She wept beautifully, like a pear blossom bathed in rain.Alexander looked at her with heartache, then turned his gaze to me. His eyes held only cold judgment."According to Omertà and family rules: those who harm a comrade or collude with enemies face the whip."He took a leather whip soaked in sa

I slumped on the floor, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, stared at the empty doorway, and laughed until tears streamed down my face.It didn't matter. Only three days left.I didn't know why, but a sharp pain flared in my lower abdomen again, and I fainted in a daze.At 3:00 AM, the villa’s front door was kicked open again.Alexander rushed in, bringing with him the chill of the night and the smell of blood, followed by two family doctors in white coats.His eyes were bloodshot, like a cornered beast. He stormed over and yanked me out of bed."Come with me."My whole body ached, and I barely processed what was happening. "Where? Let me go!""Elena lost too much blood and went into shock. The blood bank is out of Rh-negative blood. You have the same blood type. Only you can save her."His voice was cold, issuing the command as if it were his right.I looked at him in disbelief, struggling desperately, my nails digging deep into his arm."I won't go! Why should I save my enem

Elena had recovered well enough, but the restlessness in Alexander's heart refused to settle.She was still begging him to stay by her side, but his patience had finally run dry. He turned on his heel and strode toward Ivy’s hospital room.For some reason, a sense of unease was growing inside him like weeds.As he passed Elena’s attending physician's office, the door was slightly ajar. The voices drifting out made him freeze in his tracks."Just inject me with a little more of this compound. Create the illusion of critical condition, and the Don will lose his mind completely. That bitch Ivy's blood will be drained dry sooner or later...." It was Elena’s voice, dripping with a toxicity that was unrecognizable to him."But Miss Elena, if we are discovered...""What are you afraid of? If anything happens, I’ll take the heat. As long as that bitch Ivy dies, I will be the only donna. You’ll get your cut."Alexander's blood froze in his veins.He kicked the door open. The loud crash made th

Elena collapsed to the floor, scrambling backward. "Don, let me explain... I was forced... they threatened me..."His mother walked in cold-faced and slammed a thick stack of documents and photos into Elena’s face.The photos scattered everywhere—proof of her meeting with the rival family, selling intelligence, and the forensic report from the shooting six months ago, clearly showing it was all staged with actors and props."Explain?" Alexander stepped on her hand as she tried to reach for the photos—the same hand she used to play the piano to seduce him.He applied pressure, listening to the sound of metacarpals crushing, feeling not a ripple of emotion."Ah—! My hand! Don, please... I was wrong..." Elena screamed shrilly, rolling on the ground in agony.He crouched down, gripping her chin, forcing her to look into his bloodshot eyes."You used these hands to play for me, used these hands to plot against Ivy, and used these hands to sell out the Family." His voice was soft, like a lov

Chapter 8

The Rainier family’s declaration of war was like a nuclear bomb, destroying half of the Alexander family’s influence overnight.As revenge from the Rainier family, this was only the beginning.That night, a bulletproof Rolls-Royce flying a white flag stopped at the gates of the Rainier castle.Alexander’s mother, the once-arrogant donna, walked in alone.She looked ten years older, her air of insufferable superiority completely gone.Ivy met her in the drawing room."Ivy... no, Miss Rainier." She looked at Ivy, her eyes complex, holding a trace of fear. "I am not here to beg for mercy. I know that ungrateful son of mine has committed unforgivable sins."She took a thick stack of documents from her bag and pushed them towards Ivy."These are the deeds to one-third of our family’s territory in Sicily, and the control rights to our two most profitable shipping routes in the Mediterranean.""This is compensation. I only ask that the Rainier family spare Alexander’s life."Vincent, standing

Chapter 9

When Vincent returned to the room, Ivy had already finished packing.He glanced out the window at Alexander being dragged away and asked her, "Heartache?"Ivy closed her suitcase, her tone as calm as if discussing the weather. "Heartache? That kind of thing died on the operating table long ago. I just feel disgusted. I don't want to be pestered by a mad dog anymore."Vincent nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Sicily is too chaotic right now. That lunatic Alexander will definitely come harass you again when he wakes up. Go to Switzerland. The lakes and mountains there are good for healing.""I've made arrangements. Gabriel will pick you up in Zurich."Gabriel?A name surfaced in Ivy’s mind. Gabriel, the youngest financial tycoon in Europe and a crucial partner in the Rainier family’s money laundering operations. Born into old nobility, he was a true gentleman.Over ten hours later, the plane landed at Zurich Airport.Just as she walked out of the tunnel, a man in a beige trench coat with

Chapter 10

Ivy held onto Gabriel’s arm, walking through the manor's iron gates without glancing sideways.In her peripheral vision, the black figure standing in the heavy rain was as stiff as a statue. Alexander was right there, but she wouldn't even spare him a look.Back in the villa, the heating dispelled the chill from her body."I'll make something to eat." Gabriel took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the open kitchen.Ivy sat at the bar, watching him skillfully chop vegetables and sear steaks. The warm yellow light fell on him, creating a domestic atmosphere she hadn't felt in a long time.Once, she had fantasized about moments like this with Alexander. But all he gave her were cold armories, endless waiting, and a back that reeked of blood."What are you thinking about?" Gabriel handed her a glass of red wine, his eyes gentle.Ivy took the glass and looked out the floor-to-ceiling bulletproof window. The rain was still falling, and that figure was still standing there, l
