Chapter 1

Just beyond the door, Corleone lit a cigar. His voice was filled with the regret of loving someone he could never have."I know this is selfish. But as long as she's happy, I'd pay any price.""Love always makes people lose their reason." Consigliere Marco let out a heavy sigh. "Once Mrs. Corleone learns the truth, with how she is..."Before he could finish, Corleone's expression turned cold."Enough. "I'll compensate her with money and status. As long as she never finds out, everyone can be happy."I covered my mouth tightly and felt my entire body stiffen.My husband, Corleone—the man who gently held me every night and lulled me to sleep—had carefully woven a lie around me.I was nothing more than a tool he used to protect the woman he loved.Hearing footsteps approaching, I hurriedly turned around and fled back to the bedroom.Then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.Corleone's tall figure loomed over me, carrying a faint scent of tobacco. As usual, he wrapped his

The next morning, Corleone came home carrying Lilia's favorite rose perfume on him.In his hand was my favorite apple pie, his deep eyes filled with affection."Eat it while it's still warm. I made a special trip to the Hillsbalt to buy it."I lowered my gaze.Just ten minutes earlier, Lilia had posted a new story of her and a man in bed on Instagram.Though neither of their faces was visible, the blooming rose tattoo on the man's chest clearly identified him as Corleone.I'd once asked him why he had a rose tattoo.Back then, he had kissed my eyes and said, "Because my wife, Isabella, loves roses."When I told him that my favorite flower was actually camellias, he froze for a moment before pretending to be annoyed with himself."It’s my mistake. I'll get it removed tomorrow and replace it with a camellia for you."I couldn't bear the thought of him going through the pain of removing a tattoo, so I stopped him.Now that I thought about it, it wasn't that he remembered wrong.

The fake smiles and hypocritical faces made it hard for me to breathe, so I left the party and went for a walk alone in the garden.Suddenly, I heard the sound of high heels clicking behind me.I stopped and turned around to find that Lilia had followed me.Since there were only the two of us in the garden, she immediately dropped her act.With a smug smile, she began boasting about how she had made Giovanni call off his engagement with just a few tears, and how she had made the powerful Corleone completely obsessed with her."The childhood sweetheart you loved so dearly, and the husband you adore, are both crazy about me."Corleone personally gave me the design sketches for that ring set. So what if you know the truth now, though? You're just a pathetic woman nobody cares about."Then she leaned closer and lowered her voice."You want to know something? One of those rings is on my finger. The other one is with your husband."She smirked."You're just like your dead mother. Y

I walked over to the bed, picked up my phone, and called my private doctor.Since he owed me a favor, half an hour later, he arrived at my room carrying his medical bag.After a thorough examination, he said, "Mrs. Corleone, your fall caused fetal distress. Combined with the emotional shock you've been under, that's what's causing the abdominal pain."He took some medication from his bag and handed it to me."You must be careful not to get hurt again."I took it and set it on the table."For now, don't tell anyone that I'm pregnant."The doctor nodded and left with his medical bag.During the two days I was confined to my room, Corleone never showed up once.Using my phone, I contacted my assistant and instructed him to sell my clothes, handbags, and jewelry under my name as quickly as possible.Some of the staff reported my actions to Corleone, but he simply assumed I was throwing a tantrum.On the third night, the eve of our wedding anniversary, Corleone finally returned.

By the time Corleone rushed back to the estate, the entire master bedroom had already been reduced to a charred ruin.Ignoring his men's attempts to stop him, he charged into the wreckage like a madman.He frantically clawed through the still-burning debris with his bare hands, tearing his fingernails away. Blood dripped from his fingers, yet he seemed unable to feel any pain."Isabella! Isabella!"One of his men reported with a trembling voice that no body had been found at the scene.The tension in Corleone's body instantly eased, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.Just then, another man approached carrying a blackened metal box."We found this in the remains of the safe."Corleone took it and opened it.Inside lay a wedding ring and a signed divorce agreement.Staring at Isabella's signature on the document, he felt a pain in his chest so intense that he could barely breathe.His men had also brought the private doctor in. He admitted that he had visited my room thr

I sat aboard an international flight bound for Macondo.Lowering my head, I gently touched my stomach and smiled."Baby, we're free."In Europa, I adopted the name Adia and started my jewelry design career all over again.Five years later, I returned to Lanford as Europa's most mysterious and talented jewelry designer.I was here to compete in this year's Global Jewelry Design Competition.My mother had also been a gifted jewelry designer. Her greatest dream had been to stand on the stage of the Global Jewelry Design Competition.Now, I finally had the chance to fulfill that dream for her.In the airport lounge, my son, Leo, sat on a sofa scrolling through his iPad.A news report was playing on the screen about Corleone's recent brutal suppression of rival gangs.Leo let out a cold snort, his young face full of disdain."So that's the scumbag who bullied Mommy back then? He's not even as handsome as I am."After the plagiarism scandal, Lilia had publicly apologized through

Chapter 7

At the finals of the Global Jewelry Design Competition, Lilia stood on stage presenting her design.It was a necklace, the design ordinary and completely unremarkable.Then, as the final designer of the night, I took the stage.The moment my design appeared on the giant screen, the audience erupted in amazement.Whether it was the concept or the craftsmanship, it completely overshadowed Lilia's work.Wearing an haute couture evening gown, I stood on stage, dazzling beneath the lights.Lilia's face twisted with jealousy as she openly mocked me."You actually dared to bring a piece of garbage like that here and embarrass yourself?"Then the judge she had seduced stepped forward and tried to suppress me as well.Remaining calm, I publicly presented every design sketch and time-stamped digital file I had preserved over the years.Before all the media outlets, I instructed my assistant to project the evidence onto the giant screen.The photos clearly proved that many of Lilia's a

The next morning, Corleone put his power and wealth to use.He purchased the entire hotel I was staying at and then moved into the presidential suite next to mine.Every morning, the hallway outside my room would be piled with the finest jewelry and camellias flown in from around the world.I had the hotel staff sweep every last one of them into the trash.Leo quickly realized that Corleone intended to keep pestering me, so he launched his own campaign of mischief.He sneaked into Corleone's office and replaced the giant display screen with a pink Peppa Pig wallpaper.One morning, while we were having breakfast in the restaurant, Corleone shamelessly came over and tried to sit at our table.Meanwhile, Leo secretly slipped a laxative into his espresso.As a result, Corleone made eight trips to the restroom during the executive meeting that followed.Sitting on the toilet, he looked at the security footage on his phone.On the screen was Leo's mischievous grin.His eyes redden

After packing our luggage, I prepared to take Leo back to Macondo and start my own brand.We went down to the underground parking garage to move the boxes when Lilia suddenly rushed out from a dark corner.There was a gun in her hand.Before I could react, she grabbed Leo and yanked him backward, locking an arm around his neck.Then she burst into hysterical laughter."Isabella, since you ruined everything I had, I'm going to make you watch your son die right here."She pressed the gun against Leo's head.Corleone had also received the news and arrived with his men as quickly as possible.Soon, the garage was surrounded by men in black.The moment Lilia saw Corleone, she became even more unstable.Screaming, she pulled the trigger.However, before she could fire, a sniper hidden in the shadows shot her in the arm.When her grip loosened, Leo took the chance to break free and run toward me.Lilia immediately switched the gun to her other hand and raised it again.This time

Two years later.My personal luxury jewelry brand, Eve, successfully went public. I became one of the world's most influential female entrepreneurs and top jewelry designers.Leo and I settled in sunny Sampa, where outstanding young men constantly pursued me.My life was free, vibrant, and entirely my own.Every year on mine and Leo's birthdays, an international package would arrive without a sender's name.Inside were always the finest uncut gemstones in the world. The card enclosed with the package always carried the same message.[May your future be bright, and may you shine brilliantly in it.][Your future is yours to carve.]I knew exactly who was sending them. Each time, I instructed my assistant to donate everything to a children's relief foundation.This year at the Enotria Haute Couture Fashion Week gala, I attended wearing a silver couture gown.Inside the ballroom, I spent the evening chatting pleasantly with a Europa nobleman.By the time the event ended, torre
