Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Don Took Everything, I Took Down His Family: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

All three capos were waiting in the study when Dante brought Bianca Russo home.Rosa Alvarez, our housekeeper, led me there as soon as I returned from the hospital.Dante sat with Bianca pressed against his side. He was holding her hand, soothing her.I stared at him in disbelief.Yesterday, he'd sat beside my hospital bed and taken care of me.Today, he'd brought another woman home.Dante noticed the look on my face and got to his feet."Vivian, how are you feeling?"I didn't answer. My gaze went straight to Bianca behind him."What the hell is going on?"Dante took my hand, his voice softening."I know losing the baby is tearing you apart, but everyone already knows I'm about to get married and that the Moretti family is expecting an heir."If they find out we've lost the baby, they'll start wondering what's really going on in this family."I stared at him, my eyes still swollen from crying.One of the capos stepped forward."Vivian, the Don is doing this to protect the family's repu

They quickly stripped me of my authority.By now, they were keeping me out of most of the business.I didn't fight it. The few exclusive distribution agreements that really mattered were still beyond their reach.I had bled for the family for five years, and the moment I lost my baby, they threw me aside like a worn-out tool.If their reputation mattered that much, I would ruin them in front of everyone, right there on their own ground.I would bury the entire family with my child.I went to the study and found the wedding plans.The date was set for two weeks later.The guest list was full of their business partners.It was going to be a huge wedding, and every family would be watching.I memorized every key time on the schedule.Then I went back to my room and messaged Rafael."Two weeks from now, at Dante's wedding, send your people in with the evidence. Cut off his lines of communication first so none of his men can warn him that day."Rafael answered right away."Relax. It's all s

The first page of the file contained copies of emails between Bianca and another man.Next came intimate photos of them together and records of the money he'd sent her.Dante went through everything again and again.He stared at Bianca in disbelief.Bianca saw his face and rushed over to grab the file.The moment she saw what was inside, her legs gave out."This is fake. Let me explain.""Shut up!"Dante roared, though everyone there had already seen the evidence.There was still no hard proof that Bianca's baby wasn't his, so he might still be able to salvage that part of the scandal.He refused to let the Moretti family be humiliated any further in public.He swallowed his anger and kept reading.The remaining pages contained complete records of Dante's years of contraband smuggling.His blood ran cold.He knew exactly how much damage these records could do now that so many people had seen them.Every rival family and anyone after his trade routes now had the perfect opportunity to m

Everyone in the Ferraro family respected strength.They knew I had brought down the Moretti family.They admired the way I'd done it.The deals I brought with me gave me a firm foothold in the Ferraro family.I didn't stop there.Using my supplier network and connections, I secured several more international trade deals for the Ferraro family.That earned me even more respect.The Ferraros respected people who could prove themselves.Two weeks later, I returned after closing another deal.A housekeeper led me toward the garden.Before I even reached it, I caught the clean, sweet scent of jasmine.I quickened my pace without thinking.The garden was full of jasmine.Rafael stood among the flowers, watering them.The housekeeper left, leaving us alone.Rafael saw me and waved me over.I walked slowly through the jasmine, breathing in its fresh, sweet scent.The exhaustion from work seemed to melt away."You had all of this planted?"I asked as I walked up to him.He smiled and nodded."I
