All Chapters of I Quit the Mafia Marriage; His Lover Game Crashed: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

By midnight, I was burning with fever, drifting in and out of consciousness as I leaned against the wall. The wound on my arm had become infected, oozing pus and giving off a strange, foul smell.I'd lost all sense of time. I didn't know how long had passed before the holding cell door finally opened.I struggled to pry my eyes open and found Antonio walking in. When he saw the state I was in, his brow furrowed, a flicker of concern crossing his face. When he spoke, though, all I got was another lecture."You only got shot in the arm, but Camilla nearly died. Since you've both hurt each other, I'd say you're even now. Just try to get along from here on out."I really don't understand how you changed so much. You used to tolerate all the other women I saw. Now I've narrowed it down to just Camilla, and suddenly, you can't handle it?"Why can't you be more like her? Look how understanding she is. She knows you're injured, and even though she needs care herself, she still sent me to

Antonio's words hit me like a bucket of ice water. The words died in my throat.I should have known. How could Antonio ever choose to believe me? Since Camilla entered his life, when had he ever taken my side?I looked straight at Antonio. The hatred in his eyes cut deep.I dropped my gaze. "Since you don't trust me, let's just get divorced."What was the point of staying in a marriage where the husband believed his mistress over his wife?But my words only made Antonio angrier. He laughed and gestured to the bodyguards."You think it's that easy? You keep trying to hurt Camilla, and now you want a divorce so you can take my money? I let you off easy before, but clearly you haven't learned your lesson. This time, I'll make sure you remember."Before I could react, several bodyguards seized me and dragged me to the car. Antonio drove us all to the luxury yacht he'd purchased last month, taking me, Camilla, and the doctor aboard.I watched him direct the bodyguards to tie a thick

The last thread of control in Antonio's mind snapped. He suddenly remembered the day he came home from his business trip and found that delicate little box on Martina's nightstand.Curious, he'd opened it to find a pile of ashes inside. Resting on top was a simple necklace.Martina never wore accessories like that. She'd never buy something like this for herself. So, he'd assumed it was a gift from someone else while he was away.It was just like before their marriage, when countless men had fallen for Martina's charm and showered her with gifts, hoping to win her over. Antonio had to admit he'd been jealous.In a fit of anger, he'd taken that delicate box and deliberately given its contents to Camilla. He'd even tossed that container of mysterious ashes into the fireworks he was preparing for Camilla's birthday celebration.Watching Antonio's stunned expression, Camilla stamped her foot in frustration and left with Luca for the hospital.Now Antonio stood alone on the deck, star

Antonio needed an outlet for his rage, so he asked, "Where's Camilla now?"Learning that she was staying in the most expensive recovery center owned by the Gatti family, Antonio pulled himself together and headed over.In the VIP suite, Camilla had five or six nurses attending to her. She ate peeled fresh fruit and even had a nail technician doing her manicures.The moment she saw Antonio, her eyes lit up. "Amore, you finally came to see me. I've missed you so much."Antonio wasn't in the mood for her act. He grabbed her by the collar and yanked her up."You set me up to suspect Martina. You wanted to drive us apart. This was your plan all along, wasn't it?"You were just waiting for the day Martina disappeared completely so you could take her place. Isn't that right?"His fury startled Camilla. She shrank back, struggling against his grip. "Amore, don't grab me like that. It hurts. I only did those things because I wasn't thinking straight. I just love you too much!"Antonio l
