Chapter 1

The sixth sense of a woman who moved among underworld forces was normally inseparable from vigilance.While Vincenzo Corleone was handling business in the study, his personal phone vibrated once.It was an encrypted number with no contact name.When the screen lit up, I caught a glimpse of the message preview. The two words read, "Miss you."Vincenzo reached to turn off the screen almost instantly, his gaze flickering momentarily. Then, he returned to his paperwork, as if nothing happened.That momentary hesitation was all I needed to confirm that he was cheating on me.My hand was unnaturally steady as I held the coffee mug, yet my fingertips had gone white from the pressure.When Vincenzo went down to the basement armory to inspect the weapons, I unlocked his phone using the password I'd obtained with my hacking skills.From the encrypted number, I found the woman in a hidden social media app.Her profile picture is a photo of her taken by the Seranian seaside, with cascadin

Chapter 2

"What's on your mind? Your coffee's gone cold," Vincenzo asked as he came up from the basement.The black shirt outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his sleeves were rolled up to reveal the brutal famiglia tattoo along his forearm.It was the tattoo I had personally inked on Vincenzo when he took over the famiglia at the age of 23.I once thought that the tattoo served as his badge of honor and a reminder of the bond between us.But now, it meant nothing at all."Nothing." I looked up and flashed Vincenzo a composed smile. "Your phone rang earlier. It's an encrypted number, and it hung up after one ring. Want to call it back?""No need." He picked up the phone and casually tossed it onto the desk before grabbing his coat. "Something came up in Brodlyn. Someone crossed our turf and moved in on our shipment, so I'll need to take care of it. Don't wait up tonight.""How many men are you taking?" I asked instinctively. Years of habit had trained me to think ahead for V

Chapter 3

When Vincenzo had finally recovered, I took him out to eat at one of the famiglia's restaurants.We had barely stepped outside the hospital when a young woman in a server's uniform suddenly rushed over. She threw herself in front of Vincenzo with tears streaming down her face."Thank you, sir! I don't even know what would've happened to me if you hadn't saved me that day!" she sobbed.I was stunned for a moment. Then, I turned to look at Vincenzo.He frowned, looking irritated. "You should find another job. Waiting tables doesn't suit you."The woman's expression crumpled. "Something came up at home, so I needed the money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the job—""That's not my problem," Vincenzo cut her off sharply, already pulling me to leave.But the woman refused to give up. She trailed behind us for a bit, her voice pleading. "My name is Lina. Could you leave me a way to contact you? I want to repay you someday!"Vincenzo's face darkened. Just as he was about to lose his

Chapter 4

Vincenzo fell silent for a while before answering vaguely, "Give it some time."The car sped through the journey and eventually pulled up beneath a luxury apartment building.The dashcam footage cut out at the moment they got out of the car, wrapped around each other.It was already 8:00 am the next morning when the recording resumed. This time, Vincenzo returned to the car alone.He lit a cigarette and stared at the passenger seat for a long while, his expression unreadable.Just then, Marco's call came through. "When are you coming over, Don Corleone? Everything in Brodlyn's set. We're just waiting on you.""Be right there." Vincenzo crushed his cigarette and started the engine.Marco clicked his tongue and teased, "Don't tell me you're with Ms. Lina again last night? That's a bit much, even for you. You're not actually serious about her, are you?"Vincenzo chuckled softly. His tone was tinged with impatience, and even a hint of disdain that he didn't seem aware of himself.

Chapter 5

Vincenzo had just turned 18 when I first met him.He was the youngest son of the Corleone famiglia, often overlooked and even ostracized by his uncles.The former Don Corleone wanted Vincenzo to marry the daughter of another Illyian mafia famiglia to strengthen their alliances.But he rebelled and ran away from the famiglia to come to Nowork. There, he found me, someone who had already made a name for herself in the underworld then.Marco was worried about Vincenzo and sent word through intermediaries. "Please look after him for a while, Ms. Freya. He's stubborn, so you may discipline him however you see fit if he upsets you. You don't have to worry about me."I had no intention of getting involved in family politics.But my heart softened when I saw Vincenzo at the station.He was squatting beneath a tree, a backpack slung over his shoulders, jeans faded from too many washes. His gaze was stubborn, yet he looked a little lost, like an abandoned boy."I know you're Freya." Vinc

Chapter 6

Thanks to Lina's oversharing tendencies online, I knew every move she and Vincenzo made over the past three days.They went to a beach in Myradi, basking in the sun. She leaned against his chest and smiled sweetly.They also went to a casino in Lavrona. Vincenzo won Lina a sports car, and she jumped into his arms, kissing him in excitement.They even went bungee jumping. She screamed fearfully and clung to him tightly, while he soothed her with a tender gaze.Each post hit me like a punch to the chest.That was because I had always wanted to go to the Myradi beaches. Vincenzo had promised to bring me there once the famiglia stabilized, but he took another woman there in the end.We'd made a promise to win a car in the Lavrona casino, yet that promise was never fulfilled.Vincenzo had begged me countless times to try bungee jumping, saying that it was a romantic event for couples.However, I could never bring myself to agree because of my childhood trauma. He had been disappoint

Chapter 7

In the end, we didn't go up to the apartment. We sat in my car instead.Vincenzo lit a cigarette. His expression was dark and unreadable as smoke filled the space.I didn't speak, merely watched him in silence as I waited for him.The air in the car felt suffocating."When did you find out?" Vincenzo finally asked, his voice hoarse."Three days ago," I replied honestly."So, that's what you've been up to for the past three days? Taking screenshots, digging through accounts, and drafting agreements?" Vincenzo's eyes flickered with hurt and anger."What else was I supposed to do?" I retorted, "Am I supposed to pretend I didn't know and keep playing the devoted wife while you live a double life with another woman?""I was just fooling around with her," Vincenzo snapped as he crushed the cigarette out. "I never planned to divorce you, Freya. I was just… being foolish for a moment.""A moment?" I laughed so hard I nearly teared up. "It's been six months. You've wired her 50 thousan

Chapter 8

"So, Vincenzo really signed it just like that?" Marco asked in disbelief as he stared at the photo of the agreement I'd sent him."Yes." I took a sip of whiskey and continued, "He didn't hesitate at all.""That idiot. He has no idea how good he had it." Marco's voice was tinged with anger. "Don't worry, Freya, I'll take care of Lina. She has to return every single cent she took from the Corleone famiglia.""No need," I declined. "I want to handle Lina myself. This isn't just between Vincenzo and me anymore. It's also between her and me."I wanted to let Lina know that she'd have to pay the price for taking something that belonged to me.…I threw myself at work over the next few days. I reorganized every branch of the Corleone famiglia's operations, replaced several of Vincenzo's loyalists, and moved people I trusted in.I needed to make sure that the famiglia would keep running smoothly after the divorce.The busyness left me no time to think about Vincenzo and kept the pain a

Chapter 9

Five days after the agreement was signed, I gave Vincenzo a call and set a time to finalize the divorce at the famiglia's notary.He took a long time to pick it up. When he finally did, his tone was flat. "Tomorrow morning at 10. Got it.""Alright."After ending the call, I got up and went into the study. Then, I opened a box that had been sealed away for years.Inside was the famiglia-crest-turned ring Vincenzo had used to propose to me.Looking at the engraving of the ring, I recalled the way he'd knelt down on a knee and the promises he'd made back then.My chest tightened involuntarily, but only for a brief moment.I put the ring back into the box and locked it again.Some things, once lost, were lost for good. There was no use holding on.…I arrived at the famiglia's notary on time the next morning.Vincenzo was already there. He was dressed in a black suit, and his hair was neatly styled. However, his face looked pale, and dark shadows circled his eyes.He looked lik

Chapter 10

I went back to the villa after dealing with Lina.Marco was already waiting for me in the living room. "You've got everything handled, Freya?""Yes." I nodded as I took a seat across from him. "She's being held at the Brodlyn docks. She'll be released whenever she pays back the money in full.""Alright." Marco nodded. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Freya, Vincenzo is… He doesn't seem well. After leaving the notary yesterday, he went straight to the hospital.""That's not my concern," I replied evenly.Marco looked at me, clearly torn. "I know you're angry, Freya, but he's still—""Marco," I cut him off. "We're done. From now on, he lives his life, and I'll live mine. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."Marco sighed and said nothing more.I threw myself into the famiglia business in the days that followed.The Corleone operations expanded under my leadership. Not only did we strengthen our hold in Nowork, we even opened new markets in Enroppe.I became a real
