Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mafia Marriage From Betrayal to Obsession: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The moment I pushed open the door of the bridal boutique, the sight before me froze the blood in my veins.My fiancé—Dominic Corleone—had his arm draped lazily around Liliane Russell, the childhood friend who’d never learned where her place was.They were laughing, his hand resting possessively on her waist as if he was her man.When Dominic finally lifted his gaze and saw me standing there, he didn’t even flinch. The corner of his mouth curled in a smirk, but he didn’t bother to move his arm away.He just tilted his chin toward me—like I was the one intruding.Liliane shrank back behind him, pretending to look guilty, though the smug gleam in her eyes betrayed her.I took a slow, steady breath and walked closer.“Dominic, you told me this morning you had an urgent meeting at the company and couldn’t come with me to try on wedding dresses. What are you doing here?”His tone was indifferent. “Liliane asked me to help her choose a gown for her engagement party. So I came.”The disgust in

On the other end of the line, my mother, Sophia, gasped audibly.“Eva, have you really thought this through? You and Dominic grew up together, and the marriage between the Corleone and Valentino families was arranged years ago—”I cut her off before she could go on.“Mom, Dominic isn’t worth it. You don’t want me to spend the rest of my life unhappy, do you?”There was a pause, and when she finally spoke again, her voice had softened.“Eva… if you’ve truly made up your mind, I support you. Your father and I never trusted Dominic completely. He’s too impulsive—he’ll never be able to shoulder the responsibility of the Corleone name.”Another pause, then she added firmly,“I’ll talk to your father right now. We’ll find a way to cancel the engagement with the Corleones.”I hadn’t even made it home when my phone suddenly vibrated.It was a video message from Grace—my best friend and a nurse at our family’s private hospital.The video opened to the ER.Dominic was there, holding Lillian in h

When I woke again, I found myself lying on a hospital bed.The doctor said my left leg had been crushed and would require a long period of recovery.Dominic, of course, was next door, “attending” to Liliane’s little brother. That so-called unconscious boy was now awake, crying for candy in the hospital room every day, and Dominic seemed to revel in pampering him.I leaned back against the headboard, flipping through a magazine, when the door suddenly banged open. My parents stormed in, their faces pale with worry.My mom rushed to my side, eyes red and brimming with tears, her entire face etched with concern.“My darling Eva… how did you get into an accident? My legs went weak when I got the call—I nearly passed out!”Tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke. “It’s all my fault for not watching over you. Were you mistreated by the Corleone family? Last time you called, I felt something was off… did something happen?”Dad, Lucas, stood grimly by the bed, voice low and simmering with

The ward door suddenly burst open.Liliane rushed in, her hair in disarray, tears streaking her face, sobbing uncontrollably.The moment she entered, she pointed straight at me, her voice cracking as she accused.“Mr. Corleone, you have to do something! Eva… she’s far too cruel!”“That day… she knew my little brother was playing by the roadside, yet she deliberately drove like a maniac straight at him!”“She tried to kill my brother! She’s a murderer!”“My brother is still lying unconscious in a hospital bed—how can she be so heartless?”Her sobs shook as she paused, then turned to Vincent, her tone filled with accusation.“And now… she wants to avoid responsibility, trying to slander me and Dominic in front of you!”“She must’ve said rumors about me and Dominic! But we grew up together, innocent as can be! Everything she’s saying is fabrication!”Then, she lunged forward, right in front of me, grabbing my wrist and lifting the ring on my finger high into the air, her voice piercing.“

The next day, the police arrived at the hospital to investigate the incident.Dominic and Liliane, upon hearing the news, rushed over immediately.Dominic’s face was red with fury as he blocked the police, shouting,“How dare you investigate me?”“I already told you—it was Eva’s own carelessness that caused the accident. Why are you blaming me? Have you even figured out the facts?”Liliane chimed in with a shrill voice, “Exactly! Officer, you can’t wrongly accuse innocent people! Eva was just unhappy with the engagement and wants to frame my family!”Both them firmly denied any wrongdoing in front of the police.Trying to act composed, Dominic added,“I didn’t even approach her car that day. I wasn’t there at all—how could I possibly have anything to do with the accident?”Liliane, tears streaming down her face, sobbed while speaking,“My brother was just playing by the roadside. Who knew a car would suddenly crash toward him? We really didn’t do anything!”However, the police remained
