Semua Bab The Don’s Secret Wife Left: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"Scrub our identities. Mine and Leo's. Delete everything," I told Marco, my contact in the underground market."Sophia? Have you lost your mind? You’re the Family's Consigliere and their top hitman. Don Alexander will never let you go," Marco said, his voice thick with shock.I stitched up the gunshot wound in my abdomen, my voice devoid of emotion."That's my business. I want no more Sophia and Leo in the world."Silence hung on the line for a few seconds before Marco sighed. "Fine. Give me three days."After Marco hung up, I leaned against the cold clinic wall and let out a bitter laugh.Everyone envied my position. They saw me as Alexander's right hand, the Underboss in all but name.They didn't know I had been his wife for five years. They didn't know about Leo.For five years, he forbade our son from calling him Dad.“It puts a target on your backs,” he always said. “It’s to keep you safe.”I believed him. I stayed in the shadows, managing the Family's business, until his first lo

Alexander returned early the next morning.He seemed in high spirits; Lucas’s fever must have broken. He walked straight to Leo, who had just woken up, pulled a heavy Desert Eagle from his waistband, and placed it in Leo’s hands."A late birthday present, son."Alexander ruffled Leo’s hair, his voice full of expectation."You're five now. You're a man. This gun has serious firepower. You need to learn how to use it to protect yourself, and protect your mother like I do."The weight of the gun made Leo stumble. His face went pale, and he began to shake uncontrollably."I... I don't want it," he whispered.Alexander frowned."Leo, you're five. Why are you so timid? Even Lucas plays with guns."I watched them, the chill in my heart colder than the steel barrel.Alexander had forgotten.Two years ago, when Leo was three, he was kidnapped by a rival family. During the extraction, a massive explosion and close-quarters gunfire ruptured his left eardrum. It left him with severe PTSD.He had a

The next morning, just as Alexander was settling in to handle the Family's daily operations, the internal network was hit by a precise, probing cyberattack.The attacker clearly knew their system architecture inside out, targeting the core financial management system directly.Alexander sat in his office, watching warning alerts flash across his screen.The entire financial grid was paralyzed; all transaction records were inaccessible.Faced with the emergency, Alexander instinctively hit the intercom button:"Sophia! Initiate Contingency Plan B. We're under cyberattack. Handle it."But silence answered him.Only then did Alexander realize Sophia hadn't come to headquarters today.Was she sulking over what happened yesterday?He logged into the mainframe to mitigate the attack himself, only to find the core financial systems completely locked down by high-level encryption.None of his passcodes worked.What shocked him more was the cold line of text on the screen: [Permissions revoked.

After the banquet, Alexander went to a bar and got blindly drunk.He habitually pulled out his phone and dialed Sophia's number.He wanted her to pick him up and take him home, just as she had done countless times before.But the line was dead.It was only then that he suddenly remembered: Sophia had left with Leo.Alexander stumbled home, drunk, and pushed open the master bedroom door.The emptiness of the room sobered him up instantly.He instinctively reached for the Glock 19 on the nightstand, a habit formed over years of living on the edge.The first thing he did every night upon returning home was check his weapon.However, this time, his fingers grazed a sheet of rough drawing paper instead of cold steel.Alexander picked up the paper and examined it closely.It was a family portrait drawn by Leo in crayon. In the center, a woman in a blue dress and a little boy were holding hands.They both had bright smiles on their faces, surrounded by rainbows and a sun.But what pierced Ale

In a small town in Russia, Alexander finally found Sophia and Leo, who were there on vacation.Alexander hadn't slept in three days. His eyes were bloodshot, his jaw unshaven.The imposing aura of the Don was gone.He watched Sophia walk out of a small flower shop, holding Leo’s hand.Leo carried a bouquet of bright sunflowers. Both were bundled in thick wool coats.Their faces held a relaxed happiness he hadn't seen in years.Alexander rushed forward and blocked their path."Sophia!"His voice trembled with agitation, his eyes red."Why did you leave me? Why did you take Leo?"Sophia looked at him calmly and said nothing.Alexander lost control, his accusations pouring out."You trapped me into this marriage with a pregnancy scheme, and now you just decide to leave? You think you can just walk away and be done with it?"Facing Alexander's accusations and hysterical questioning, Sophia remained unnaturally calm.She didn't argue. She didn't fight back.She just watched the man she once
