All Chapters of The Don's Biggest Mistake: Sending Me to Jail: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

My first meeting with Chris felt like a dark joke.It was my third year in jail. I was on the prison factory floor.I was staring at the newspaper, lost in Falcone's midyear financials, when a voice sounded above my head."Leverage is too high. If I were you, I'd dump the two strip clubs and cash out immediately."I looked up to see a man in a tailored suit.He didn't look like an inmate. In fact, he looked like he'd walked in from a boardroom.I learned later on that he was indeed here for a "meeting".He was the heir to the Corleone famiglia, and he was there to "talk business" with the warden.It was absurd.From that day on, he became a regular.We talked about finance, trade, and even human nature.He was like an arms dealer, polishing my rusted claws piece by piece.Before I got out of jail, he handed me a contract. He wanted me to be the Corleone famiglia's chief Consigliere."I don't do charity," he said. "I'm investing in your future. I want you to take back every

Scarpa was stunned. He looked as if he had been doused in ice water. "That's impossible," he muttered. "You're making this up. You're lying to me!"My smile widened. "Lying?

Agony and disbelief tore through his expression."So… This was all part of Chris's plan?""That's right. That shipment was never meant to land. It was a coffin he prepared for you," I said, crushing the cigarette under my heel. "Even he didn't expect me to break the board by sacrificing myself."He admired that. That's why he waited for me and made me his partner. We'r

After Scarpa's "love-struck" routine failed, he unraveled.He stripped Elisa of every position she held, annulled their engagement in front of the elders, and had her kicked out of the estate.Elisa refused to accept it. She stormed the manor, screaming, only to be dragged out by soldati. She was humiliated.She couldn't understand how the man who once put her on a pedestal could turn so cold overnight.Meanwhile, Scarpa turned into a stalker. He showed up every day beneath the Corleone headquarters, outside my apartment, and even tailed my car.He sent me flowers and gifts. Everything that I used to like.Sometimes, he stood in the rain all night just to beg for a few minutes of my time.He lowered himself to the dust.People in the Corleone family started whispering. When they looked at me, there was sympathy in their eyes.After all, watching an iron-blooded Don abase himself for one woman was unsettling.Even Chris couldn't help teasing me."So, what's Scarpa playing at
