Chapter 1

Caesar Greco stared at the ring on the table. As always, his brows furrowed, displaying his impatience. I knew he was about to get angry."The entire family is here," he said through gritted teeth. "Are you really going to throw a tantrum and embarrass me in front of everyone?"I met his eyes and answered, "I'm not throwing a tantrum. I just don't think our relationship will work. I don't want to marry you anymore."He picked up the ring. "Because of a ring? Even without the family ring, everyone here knows you're my wife. What's the difference?"A wave of grievance washed over me."Clearly, being your wife and being the Donna are two different things. I went alone to negotiate with the arms dealers. I almost lost my life, and that's the only reason the elders in the family agreed to let you give me the ring. And—"Caesar cut me off impatiently, "So, what is it you really want? To marry me or the power that comes with being the Donna? You keep saying you love me. You were the one

Anna's gaze fell on the ring on the table. She frowned. "Caesar, how could you try to fob Sofia off with a piece of junk like this? People will be taking pictures during the engagement ceremony."If they catch her wearing a cheap silver ring, and those photos end up online, you two will become the laughingstock."Bypassing the ruby ring, she removed a diamond ring and handed it to Caesar."Just use mine for now," she said, trying to comfort me. "It's a Harry Winston. After the ceremony, have Caesar buy you a better one."Caesar had bought Anna that ring. One time, the three of us had passed by a shopping mall when Anna pointed at the Harry Winston boutique."I'm not a fan of diamonds, but God, do I want a Harry Winston ring. They stand for true love," she had remarked in awe. Later, Caesar bought it for her and gave it to her as a Christmas present.I didn't back down. Looking at the ruby ring on her finger, I said, "But we're supposed to use the family ring for today's ceremon

Chapter 3

After calming Anna down, Caesar spoke in a tone that was both reproachful and final, "There's no time left. If you keep making a scene, I'll have Anna take your place for the engagement ceremony. "You don't seem to care much about this anyway. Look at you—your clothes are unchanged, and you have no makeup on. You showed up wearing combat boots. Are you here to fight or to get engaged?"So, he did know that I was supposed to have my hair and makeup done for today's ceremony.That morning, I had gotten up early and waited in the dressing room.For some reason, the makeup artist kept making excuses and never came. The boutique that was supposed to deliver my gown couldn't be reached, either.I tried calling Caesar, but he never answered.When it was almost time for the ceremony, I had no choice but to change into my everyday clothes and hurry to the front hall. Only then did I hear from one of the family's men that every makeup artist in the estate had been sent to attend to Anna.

A moment later, I saw Anna run out. "Sofia, what are you doing out here?"Caesar hurried after her, lifting the long train of her gown for her, his voice sweet with affection. "Slow down. You'll trip and fall."The paparazzi gathered outside the estate and peered through the garden fence."She's gorgeous!""I can't believe the woman who stood by the Don, fighting her way up with him through bullets, is such a delicate being.""How sweet! Do you see how he's looking at her? Who says a Don can't fall in love?"Anna lowered her head shyly and leaned close to Caesar's ear. "Hurry and tell them Sofia's the one, not me."Her voice was so quiet that even I could barely make it out, let alone the paparazzi outside. The men with cameras immediately started snapping photos.From their angle, Anna and Caesar didn't look like they were talking. It looked as though they were kissing.Caesar saw the cameras pointed at them but made no move to avoid them. He simply stayed there, standing clo

Caesar chased after me. The moment I stepped out of the gates, the paparazzi waiting outside surged toward me. People shoved against one another, and I was knocked to the ground.Then, a gunshot rang out. It seemed someone from a rival family had slipped into the crowd.The sound of gunfire sent the already chaotic crowd into a berserk. People pushed and trampled over one another, including me. I barely had the chance to stand on my feet.Panic set in. The only person I knew nearby was Caesar. Driven by a pure instinct to survive, I screamed for help, "Caesar, I've fallen! Help me up!"Only one person stood between us. He shouted back, "I'll be right there! Don't be scared!"The next second, Anna cried out from behind him, "My hair clip!"Her hair clip had apparently fallen off.Caesar looked at me, guilt flashing across his face. He then turned and ran back without a second glance. "Anna, it's dangerous! There are armed men outside! Get back inside!"My heart, pumped with only

Chapter 6

The news hit Caesar like a lightning strike.Throughout all these years together, he had seen every bit of what I had done for him and how much I longed for our marriage. He knew that even if he asked me to die, I would never hesitate.To him, I was no different from his most trusted confidant. No matter what he did, I would never abandon him. Therefore, he believed I could compromise on many things for his sake.He thought I would wait endlessly for him, that the timeline for our marriage made no difference. I loved him so much, so how could I ever abandon him?"Impossible!" Caesar roared. "Send our men right now. Have the entire family stop whatever they're doing and search the whole city for Sofia. Tear this city apart if you have to. Find her!"Finding a person in a city this vast was easier said than done. Still, faced with their Don in such a frantic state, no one dared to argue. They accepted the order and left.Only then did Caesar remember to text me."Enough, Sofia. I

Chapter 7

Anna stepped out of the car. She had heard that I never showed up.In the beginning, she had never really cared about Caesar. Even that half bottle of yogurt she had given him when they first met wasn't an act of charity.She simply saw someone who was even more miserable than herself and wanted to humiliate him.Things changed when Caesar became the Don. Or rather, her feelings did. That said, no matter how good he was to her, he had never once considered dating or marrying her.Now that I was gone, Anna was determined to take the position of Donna. After all, aside from Caesar, everyone already believed she was his woman.Not only did she hold the debt of saving his life, but she also looked somewhat like me. Given enough time, she was certain Caesar would eventually let go of me and accept her.Anna walked over to Caesar and put on her usual pitiful expression. "Did Sofia get angry with you again? It's all my fault. I caused you two to break up—""We did not break up!" he sna

Chapter 8

Anna took two steps back. Then, frustrated and angered, she finally dropped the act."So what? What good does it do to tell me this now? When did you ever take her side? Now that she's gone, you're pretending to be devoted?"The last thread holding Caesar together snapped. His legs gave out, and he fell to the ground. He didn't get back up.Suddenly, he remembered how I had fallen that day. I couldn't get up even if I tried. He could've saved me, yet he had grown used to my bravery, watching me fight my way out of danger time and again.To him, I was almost invincible. Around me, he was the one who seemed less like a man. That was why he ran toward the fragile Anna without hesitation, even though she had never truly been in danger.He wanted to feel like a hero. He enjoyed that feeling.Although Caesar saw how helpless I was among the stampede, crushed and agonized, he did nothing. Looking back now, he felt so bad that it was impossible to breathe.He regretted everything. All h

Chapter 9

At the same time, Guglielmo began pursuing me. He brought out the sapphire necklace that represented their Donna.To accommodate me, he even moved the family's headquarters to Florencia. The entire place was renovated according to my preferences.After everything that had happened with Caesar, I knew I didn't want to entrust my life to a man. I had spent the first half of my life living for him, and now, I wanted to live for myself.So, I rejected Guglielmo. We couldn't be lovers, but we could be partners with shared interests. I could be his most capable Underboss.Of course, I heard about Caesar's extensive search for me. It had been an enormous spectacle, after all. Everyone in our circles was talking about it, and the media was spreading the news everywhere.The public acknowledgment I had once wanted finally came after we had broken up. Regardless, I felt nothing. A belated devotion was worthless to me.Somehow, Caesar found my address. Every day, he had someone send me a bo

Chapter 10

Since then, Caesar had never appeared before me again. He still sent me a bouquet every day, except they were finally the right roses.It wasn't until Guglielmo held a grand banquet by the sea that Caesar showed up again. It was held at my favorite seaside location, arranged entirely according to my preferences.Caesar stood far away at the edge of the venue. He wanted to come over several times but held himself back. Before the banquet began, he stopped me at the door of his RV. "Sofia."I looked at him with a frown. "What?"He looked into my eyes for a long time before pulling out a box. Inside was the familiar ruby stone, though it was turned into a pendant.He held it out to me. "Can you give me another chance, even if it's only to be friends? Just don't marry Guglielmo."I was confused. "Marry Guglielmo?""Isn't this banquet he prepared to propose to you?" Caesar asked.Guglielmo walked over, looking helpless. "I would very much like to propose to Sofia, but this is her ce
