All Chapters of The Mafia Don Who Chose His First Love Regretted Losing Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Seeing how calmly I accepted his proposal, a flicker of surprise crossed Quill's eyes.He took several steps toward me, arrogance plastered across his face."Claire, I'm actually doing this for your own good."Look at yourself. You took that enormous check I gave you and made quite the life."You've got your own shop now, and you're all dolled up."So don't go dreaming about a position you don't deserve."He actually thought I'd used his money to open this bakery!The truth was, the hundred million dollars Quill gave me had been laundered funds from an offshore account.I channeled it through overseas charities and donated every cent to help girls who'd been seized as collateral for their parents' crushing gambling debts, buying back their freedom.This bakery was fully funded by my husband.Though I'd tried many times to talk him out of spending so much, he would always cup my face in both hands."Claire, you're my beloved princess."You deserve the very best this world has to offer."

Later, while walking through the garden one day, I overheard a conversation between Luca and Raul.Raul wore a sycophantic smile."Consigliere, it was all thanks to your brilliant idea, sending me to Dr. Dean Mercer, director of St. Raphael Medical Center, for an undetectable poison."Claire would never suspect that I put the poison in her bedtime milk!"My heart clenched as if it had been sliced to ribbons."I did it for Quill's sake." Luca's eyes gleamed with cunning. "If that woman gives birth to a bastard, it would jeopardize the business alliance that Sherry's family brings to the table and destroy the Moretti Family's international partnerships. I will never allow that kind of threat."Raul gazed at him with admiration. "You always see the bigger picture! With a consigliere like you, the Moretti Family will never fall!"I stumbled my way to Quill, crying and screaming that I wanted out of this sickening arrangement.For the first time, Quill lost his temper at me. He gripped my c

"This is no way to handle things. You're making the Moretti Family look bad!"The moment Sherry heard the voice, she flinched so hard the apple dropped from her hand.It was Quill's mother, Camilla Moretti.Camilla crossed the room toward me with exaggerated elegance."It's been a while, Claire."As she drew close, she looked down at me with her trademark arrogance."Five months apart, and you still haven't improved one bit."Still deluding yourself that a baby will make you the lady of the Moretti Family!"Like mother, like son.Now I knew where Quill got his stupidity and arrogance.Sherry rushed over to Camilla, her expression anxious."Mother, don't waste your breath on this shameless woman! Just let Raul put a bullet in her!"With that, she shot Raul a look.Raul understood and moved to pull the trigger.Camilla stepped forward and stopped him with a sharp command."When are you going to fix that impulsive temper of yours?!"Her eyes were full of calculation."Actually, before I c

The first video.Quill summoned one of his female bodyguards and handed her a stack of cash."I've found out that Claire opened a bakery in Sicily. Disguise yourself as a customer and go check on her. Make sure she's safe."I stared in shock at the woman on screen. She clearly had short hair and dressed conservatively, yet every time she visited my bakery, she wore a long, curly wig and deliberately dressed in flashy, provocative outfits.Each time, she bought piles of pastries and had them boxed up, always insisting on no change, saying her family loved my desserts.So her family had been Quill all along.The second video showed Sherry and Quill arguing."Just knowing she's alive and well in Sicily makes my heart ache! Sweetheart, get rid of her, please?""Sherry, there's no need to get worked up over a woman like that.""Are you protecting her?""That's enough. Stop fighting. Go back to your room and rest. I still have business to handle."Then came the sound of Sherry stomping her f

Third person’s POVThe instant Luca hit the ground, the entire hospital erupted in chaos.Alarms blared. People in the corridors scrambled in every direction.Nurses raced to each room, guiding patients to safety.But a handful of curious onlookers crowded in to see what had happened.Within minutes, the local police chief arrived with a squad of officers.The chief didn't immediately question who had shot Luca.Instead, he first ordered several officers to carry Luca's body away and clean up the blood.Once that was done, the chief approached Quill and whispered in his ear."Mr. Moretti, don't forget what we agreed on."Quill slowly lifted his head, pressing his grief down behind his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse."Don't worry. By tomorrow morning, your account will have ten million dollars."The chief's eyes lit up. "Excellent."Then he turned to address everyone at the scene."After conferring with Mr. Moretti, we can preliminarily determine that Consigliere Luca's death was a tar
