Alle Kapitel von Our Love Ends in a Sea of Hate: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

After a few seconds, Stefano Gambino, Don of the Gambino famiglia, replied flatly, "Deal."I only had to wait for three more days before delivering them a massive "surprise".…Luca never came back after he left. He sent me a text to explain, but I deleted it without a glance. When he sent someone to deliver my favorite cherry pie, I tossed it straight into the trash.The next day, I completed my discharge paperwork and went home alone. As soon as I walked through the door, I saw Luca sitting on a garden bench in the sun with his arm around Gina and a boy.The moment he noticed me, the smile on his face froze. He quickly let go of Gina's arm and walked toward me, holding the boy's hand."Elena, let me introduce you. His name is Lorenzo, and he's an orphan from the orphanage. I was thinking… maybe we could adopt him," he said.I looked at Lorenzo. His features were an exact copy of Luca's. He acted well-behaved and greeted me with a deep bow, but his eyes were full of contempt.

The banquet was held at the Obsidian Sanctum Hall in Manara, Novaro. Dons from different families moved through the hall with glasses in hand.Luca stood there in a custom black suit embroidered with dark gold roses, his expression cool and imperious. Gina stood beside him as if she were the true Donna.Several men drifted toward Luca, whiskey glasses in hand.One of them clapped him on the shoulder and spoke in a low voice. "I heard that the Gambino famiglia's new partner is Don Rossi. You're truly impressive for someone your age. I'll have to rely on your help with the arms trade in southern Sicilento from now on."Luca pressed his lips into a thin line, a cold glint of confidence in his eyes."Don Gambino is here," someone whispered.The stage lights snapped on, flooding the room with a blinding glare. A moment later, Don Gambino walked in with steady, measured steps. Everyone bowed their heads in respect.Don Gambino began speaking. "I now announce the new partner of the Gam

Luca clenched his fists, his gaze darkening. Suddenly, his thoughts went to me again. He picked up his phone but couldn't bring himself to make the call.Just as he was hesitating, the door was flung open. Lorenzo ran in crying, wrapped his arms around Luca's leg, and whimpered, "Papa, I scraped my finger. It hurts so much!"Luca quickly set his phone down and scooped Lorenzo up. He gently blew on the boy's finger and comforted him softly. "Be good. I'll bandage it up for you right now."Ever since Gina moved in with Lorenzo, they had been constantly clinging to Luca. Whenever Gina wasn't asking him to look after Lorenzo, she was pulling him into bed.Gina stroked Luca's hand, her eyes full of tenderness. "Don Rossi, I'm still scared. If Elena comes back, will she kill Lorenzo and me? After all, she hates us so much."She lowered her gaze deliberately, looking completely terrified. "Her famiglia is so powerful. Getting rid of us would mean nothing to them."Luca softened his voic

Every message that Gina had sent made Luca's chest tighten. One of the messages included a photo of him and Gina lying naked in bed.He covered his face, his voice breaking into a sob. "What have I done?"He reached out, and his hand brushed against a divorce agreement. Only then did he realize that he had actually signed it. Even though Gina had tricked him into doing it, the signature was undeniably his.He dropped to his knees on the floor. "Elena, I'm sorry. I was wrong."But it was already too late.…Luca stumbled back to the Rossi estate.In the living room, Gina was feeding Lorenzo segments of tangerine. She looked up, a faint smile lingering in her eyes. "Don Rossi? Why does your face look so pale?"Luca said nothing. He crossed the room in two strides and grabbed her by the throat. "Did you send these messages?"His eyes were raw and bloodshot as he shouted, "How dare you go after Elena and Niccolo!"Terrified, Lorenzo dropped the tangerine on the floor, his high-pi

The iron gate of the garden slammed shut, muffling Luca's cries. He reached out for me, but all he grasped was grass and his own blood.I gave Luca no room to recover. Using my famiglia's influence, I filed a formal indictment with the elders of the Rossi famiglia, accusing him of leaking core research technology and deliberately protecting a traitor within their ranks.While protecting Gina, he had already sold the southern district's weapons supply line to the famiglia's rival. That became undeniable proof of his betrayal.The elders didn't take long to reach a verdict. They stripped Luca of his title as Don, seized every territory under his name, and expelled him from the inner circle of the famiglia.Luca eventually lost all his power.After being cast out, he became a homeless man on the streets. A tattered jacket replaced his suits, and he spent his days squatting at the entrance of the alley outside the Rossi estate, clutching a wine bottle.Whenever he spotted children in
