All Chapters of My Ex Tried to Steal My Mafia Empire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I glanced at the old family crest on the gatepost and wondered for a second if I had come to the wrong estate.I'd been away on business for five days. Now some woman I'd never seen before was standing in my home, wearing my nightgown and yelling at me like I was the intruder.I pushed past her and walked toward the front door.She stumbled back. "What, now you're trying to break in?"She waved her hand, and four men in black suits stepped forward and surrounded me.They had even replaced my guards.I looked at her coldly. "Move. This is my property."Something in my voice made them hesitate. They exchanged uncertain looks.The woman looked me up and down, then laughed like I'd said something ridiculous."Your property? The only reason you were ever allowed through these gates was because you were dating Luca. Now that he dumped you, you don't belong here anymore."Actually, let me correct myself. You never belonged here."She stepped aside and waved the guards toward my car. "Search h

Luca quickly hid his hand behind his back, his expression tightening as he looked at me. "Vittorio gave this ring to me himself."Nonsense!My father hadn't even known Luca existed when he was alive.He lowered his voice. "Keep it down. If anyone finds out you stole the late Don's ring, you won't have enough lives to pay for it."He seriously thought I was the thief.Bianca, clinging to his other arm, burst out laughing."Alessia, you couldn't take the estate, so now you're trying to steal Luca's ring too?"I ignored her."That's Vittorio Moretti's obsidian ring," I said quickly, struggling to control my anger. "There's a V engraved inside the band, and the inheritance registry number is engraved underneath: MOR-0407."Before Luca could answer, I turned to Anthony. "Take the ring as evidence and verify it, please."Bianca immediately stepped in front of Luca and raised her voice so everyone could hear."How does an outsider like you know the registry number of a Moretti family heirloom

Everyone turned toward the door.The moment I saw who had arrived, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.It was Marco.Two Council employees came in behind him. One of them was Daniel, the neutral officer who had come to the estate the night before.Marco's face darkened when he saw Luca and Bianca holding me down. "Let her go."They released me almost immediately.Marco remained by the door, his voice cold. "My name is Marco Bellini. I served as Vittorio Moretti's chief attorney, and I am now the executor of the Moretti family trust."He let those words sink in for a moment."I currently handle all legal matters involving the Moretti family trust, including this estate."Carlo looked at Marco's business card, and his attitude changed at once. He hurried forward with a friendly smile and held out his hand. This was probably the highest-ranking Moretti representative he had ever met."I'm Don Orsini. It's an honor to finally meet—"Marco ignored his hand. Instead, he raised two fingers a

Carlo reacted fast.The next second, he stormed across the room and slapped Luca hard across the face.Blood immediately appeared at the corner of Luca's mouth."You used a Moretti estate to fool my daughter into marrying you!" Carlo's hand was still shaking. "You nearly got my family investigated by the Council!""I fooled you?"Luca sneered. "The day you moved into the primary bedroom, I told you this estate was registered in Alessia's name."You were the ones who said it didn't matter. You said once we moved in and took control of the place, it would become ours."Bianca shook her head, sobbing quietly. "I didn't know. Luca told me the estate belonged to him. He lied to me."Luca's smile made the cut at the corner of his mouth split wider. "I lied to you? Even after you found out the estate was registered to Alessia, you still had your guards throw her against a table. You even cut her finger open."You only cared about marrying into the Moretti family. You didn't care who actually

The next day, the Five Families held an open assembly at the Council hall.I sat in the central seat at the head table.On both sides of me sat representatives of the Five Families, regional capos, and Council officers.Enzo and six other traitors stood at the front of the hall, their wrists locked in matching black shackles.Their access records, transfer receipts, and confessions were laid out before the Council officer in charge of verifying the evidence. He went through each document, checking every signature and file number.Enzo confessed to taking money from the Albano family, leaking my father's movements, and disabling the estate's security system on the night of his assassination.Seven years later, he had helped Luca take over my estate and tried to force me into giving up my rights to the family trust.The family court sentenced Enzo and the other traitors involved in my father's assassination to death. The Albano bosses who had ordered the hit were brought into the hall as
