"Bury the story. Destroy the photos."After the call, Arturo stood beside my hospital bed and explained, "The reporters all rushed at us, and Elena was terrified. I had to get her out of there first. Don't get the wrong idea."I felt a pang of bitterness. "Even if you suppress the reports, people still won't know who your fiancee is."Arturo sat down beside my bed. "The wedding invitations went out to every major mafia boss long ago. Who doesn't know you're the bride?"I pointed at his phone. "The reporters don't know."He gave a quiet scoff and shook his head. "They're just a bunch of idiots who got the wrong person."He took out a warm coat and helped me put it on. "If you're upset about this, I can make our relationship public. But the family was just attacked."If the press starts reporting on our wedding now, you'll become a target."Once I had the coat on, he stood up. "This was the only one left at the clothing store downstairs. Make do with it for a few days."I looked

"Delete this disgusting photo." I flung the tablet onto the floor. "This photo cannot be part of my pre-wedding interview."Arturo glanced at the screen. "The Consigliere chose it. I didn't look closely…"I cut him off. "Did he write that love confession too?"Arturo fell silent.Elena stepped in front of him. "Rachele, the attack on the yacht has caused a lot of damage. The Consigliere chose this photo to show that the Don cares about his people."If he denies it now, our enemies will call us cold and heartless. That would be bad for our business."I looked at Arturo. "Do you think so too?"He bent down, picked up the tablet, and handed it back to Richie. "Replace the photo with one of Rachele and me. Keep the caption."Richie was frantic, sweat pouring down his face. "Don Venturi, we've already sent these photos to every mafia boss. The engagement party is tonight! If we change the photo now, people will talk. "It could affect the wedding plans."Arturo thought for a momen

My pregnancy stabilized a week later. All the problems caused by the high fever had also cleared up.I rested a hand on my belly as I walked through the medical center's garden.Pregnancy had made me sensitive to the cold.Matteo draped a coat over my shoulders, then took two steps back, keeping a respectful distance. "Are you still feeling unwell?" he asked. "I'm here. You don't have to push yourself."I gave him a small smile. "Thank you."My father, Rocco Bellandi, was recovering in his room.That afternoon, he sat on his hospital bed and sighed. "Rachele, I've only held you back. Arturo is the Don, after all. Becoming his wife is something most women could only dream of."I looked at Papa's aging face and shook my head. "Papa, Arturo and I are over. I don't ever want to see him again."Outside the hospital room, Arturo looked dejected.He had gone to great lengths to find out where I was and rushed over, only to hear those words.He didn't enter the room. Instead, he as

A day later, construction on the children's medical center started again.The names listed as the founders were mine and Papa's.I showed Papa pictures of the construction site on my phone, and he was elated.After everything was taken care of, Arturo found me at the site."Elena has been crippled, and she's gone for good. I gave her a villa in the suburbs to repay the debt I owed her brother," he said.That suburban villa had belonged to his grandfather, and Arturo had grown up there.As an adult, he had spent five years renovating it, even choosing every tile himself.I asked him, "Can you really give it up?"His eyes were red-rimmed. "No. That's why it counts as a price."He handed me a document. "These are all my personal assets. I'll give you everything I have if you're willing to come back."I didn't even look at it. "Take it back."He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in a quiet, pleading voice. "Rachele, can I… try to win you back? You were by my side
