Chapter 1

Forty minutes later, I was parked outside a villa surrounded by a wall of roses."Congratulations! You have arrived at Victor and Mia's secret castle! Your trip is complete," the nav system announced cheerfully.Just as I was about to get out, I heard footsteps running toward the car.A young woman darted out of the villa, heading straight for my window."Victor, you're here already?" she said, tapping on the glass. Her voice had a playful pout in it. "I'm not even ready for you..."Then she saw me. Her face froze.I sized her up. Early twenties, long blonde hair.And her voice was the exact same one from the navigation system."Mrs. Ashford? What are you doing here?" She looked like a frightened little rabbit, but quickly calmed down and forced a shy smile.I raised an eyebrow. "You know who I am?"Mia nodded. "I'm Mia. A med student at Columbia. Mr. Ashford puts me through school, and... I've heard him mention you."My eyes were locked on her. "Is that so? Then why is his car's home

Victor didn't come home that night.I sat in the living room until the early hours of the morning, when an email from Stella arrived."Ma'am, here is the information you requested. Mia Rosen, 22, third-year med student at Columbia. I also found her private social media account. There isn't much, but I think you need to see it."I opened the attachment.Mia's account had only three posts, but each one was a blade twisting in my gut.The first was posted three years ago. June 15th.The night before our wedding.The photo showed Mia covered in hickies, lying lazily in a man's arms.The man's face was cropped out, but I knew those hands. Long fingers, with Victor's family signet ring on his pinky.The caption: "Wearing her wedding dress, sleeping with her man. Tomorrow is her big day, but tonight he's mine."My hands started to shake.The second post: eight months ago. September 3rd.The night I had a miscarriage.I was in the hospital all night. Victor said he had an urgent meeting and wo

Victor came home the next morning while I was eating breakfast in the dining room.He looked tired. His tie was loose, and his shirt carried the faint scent of a perfume that wasn't mine."Morning, baby. Sorry I didn't make it back last night." He walked over and kissed my forehead. "A project at work blew up. I was stuck at the office all night."I fought back the urge to spit in his face. Without looking up, I kept cutting my eggs. "You must be exhausted.""Yeah. And I might have to head out again this afternoon. There's a big academic event over at Columbia." He watched my face for a reaction. "You know how important supporting education is to me."I finally looked up and smiled. "You're a good man, Victor. So civic-minded."He looked relieved and reached for my hand. "Having a wife like you, Felicity, is my greatest honor."I just smiled.At two p.m., the main auditorium at Columbia Medical School was packed.I arrived early and chose a seat in the back corner.Victor was in the fr

Holding Victor's stunned gaze, I walked slowly toward the stage.The click of my heels on the marble floor echoed through the silent auditorium like a death knell.Seeing me approach, the Dean beamed and announced to the crowd, "Everyone, this is our special guest panelist, Dr. Felicity Corsica, a Nobel laureate in Medicine."I nodded to him, then added with a polite smile, "I'm also Mr. Ashford's wife."A wave of whispers washed over the room.On stage, Mia looked like she was about to faint. She stood trembling, looking helplessly at Victor.Victor’s face was stone.He clearly never expected me to be here, and certainly not like this.He moved to grab my arm. "Felicity, what the hell are you doing…?"I stepped away from his touch and went straight to the projector.I took a flash drive from my purse and plugged it in.In seconds, a side-by-side comparison appeared on the giant screen."Let me explain my question," I said, my voice calm and clinical. "As you can all see, the presentat

Victor never expected me to tear his whole charade to shreds. He was speechless.And just like that, the presentation ended in chaos.Victor, his face like thunder, grabbed a ghostly pale Mia and scrambled out of there. I walked out of the auditorium with the eyes of every student and professor on me—a mix of fear and respect.Back at the estate, I sat alone in the study, my fingers tracing the cool metal of a silver Beretta. It was my father's. Engraved on the side was the Corsican family crest: an eagle with its wings spread."Ma'am," Stella said, entering the room. "Victor's already making his move."I didn't look up. "Spit it out.""Half an hour ago, clips of you started circulating on the dark web. Chopped up to make you look bad. The headline is 'Nobel Prize Winner's Jealous Fury: Humiliates Innocent Student.'" Her voice was tight with anger. "There's also a forged shrink's report saying you have paranoia and bipolar disorder."A small, cold laugh escaped me. Low-rent moves. Just

I had Stella keep digging into Victor’s finances.It didn't take long for her to find something new. A truth that chilled me to the bone."Last year, Victor set up a pharmaceutical company for Mia. 'Stinger,'" Stella said, placing a thick file in front of me. "I thought it was just a little plaything for his mistress, but it's..."I flipped to the first page. My blood ran cold.It was a bank transfer. Five hundred million dollars. Wired from an offshore account to Stinger Pharmaceuticals."This account..." My voice trembled slightly.It was the money my father left me before he died. Generations of Corsican family wealth. It was the bedrock that allowed me to stand on my own in this world run by men. Victor knew about it. He even had iris access to it. Because I was naive enough to think a husband and wife shouldn't have secrets. That we were one."Go on," I said, forcing myself to stay calm."Over the last six months, Victor's also been siphoning huge amounts of cash and top-of-the-li

Three days later, the family elders gathered to pass their final judgment on my "misconduct." Victor sat at the head of the table, a winner's smile on his face."Gentlemen," Victor began, clearing his throat. "We are here today to discuss Felicity's recent and unfortunate behavior...""Enough."I strode into the room, dressed head to toe in black."Felicity? You have no business being here..." A flash of panic crossed Victor's eyes.I ignored him, my gaze sweeping over the old men. "Gentlemen. I'm here to show you the true face of our Godfather."I laid out the evidence, one piece at a time. Bank transfers, chat logs, forged contracts... all of Victor's sins, right there on the table."This is the proof," I said, my voice cutting through the silence. "Proof of your Godfather emptying my father's war chest and draining family assets to bankroll his mistress."The room went dead silent.Victor shot to his feet. "Bullshit! This is all fake!""A setup?" I laughed. "Then please explain why

Victor wanted to meet at the Blue Moon Vineyard. The place we first met. It had witnessed the beginning of our story; now it would witness a far more interesting show."Felicity..."Victor's voice, trembling, came from behind me.I turned slowly. He looked wrecked, and in his hands, he held a velvet jewelry box."You came," I said, my voice flat, holding no warmth."Felicity, I..." Victor took a few steps closer, then dropped to one knee. "I made a mistake. An unforgivable one."I just watched him. I didn't stop him, and I didn't help him up."I had the ring remade," he said, his hands shaking as he opened the box. Inside was a diamond ring, bigger and more brilliant than the original. "With the blue diamond you always loved. I want... I want to start over.""Start over?" I let out a small, sharp laugh. "Victor, do you have any idea what you've done?""I know! I know everything!" He covered his face with his hand. "I was a fool. I let her get in my head. It was Mia... that greedy, mani

Chapter 9

Three nights later, New York was bitingly cold.Mia was holed up in the corner of a cheap motel room, her phone playing the recording. Victor's voice echoed in the small space: "I want her to disappear... just some stupid broad trying to get rich..."Her hands were shaking from rage and despair.Just yesterday, two men in black suits had almost grabbed her in a parking garage. A random ambulance had appeared, sirens blaring, distracting everyone just long enough for her to slip away. The day before that, at a coffee shop, she'd almost drunk a poisoned latte before a clumsy waiter knocked it out of her hand.These "coincidences" had kept her alive so far, but she knew her luck would run out.Mia looked at her own haggard face in the mirror, and a crazed fire lit up in her eyes. If she was going to die, she was taking Victor to hell with her.She looked at the "souvenirs" she'd carefully saved on her phone: intimate photos with Victor in all sorts of places, videos from hotel rooms, and

Chapter 10

Six months later, Victor was found guilty on multiple counts and sentenced to death. The sentence was carried out immediately.I wasn't there to see it.I was in my new office at 'Eden,' reviewing the latest financial reports.Stella entered, her expression unreadable. "Ma'am, it's done. Victor's execution was just completed.""I know," I said without looking up, signing my name on the document.And just like that, Victor's era was over.The era of Felicity Corsica was just beginning.With the family's power vacuum, I moved fast. Victor's old crew expected a bloody war for the throne, but they had no idea how prepared I was. Within a week, I had absorbed every loyal and competent member into my ranks. As for the ones with their own ambitions, they simply disappeared one rainy night.I purged 'Eden,' wiping away every trace of Victor. A new bio-tech facility rose from the ground in the heart of Manhattan, three times the size of the old one.At the next family meeting, when I announced
