Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Mafia Husband And Son Always Picked My Best Friend Over Me: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

When I returned to the estate, I saw Dante kneeling on the floor.He gently picked shards of broken glass out of the sole of her foot with tweezers.My son Luca stood beside him, holding cotton pads and disinfectant.“ What are you two doing? ”Lena quickly pulled her foot back when she saw me. Her face went stiff.“ Seraphina, you’re back. ”Before she finished, Dante shot to his feet.“ Why are you so late? Do you have any idea Lena stepped on broken glass trying to pull you out of the way? She has a national tour next week. How is she supposed to perform with a hurt foot? Can you take responsibility for that? ”Luca pushed me hard.“ It’s all your fault. Aunt Lena got hurt because of you! ”I stumbled back into the corner of the cabinet.The platinum pendant around my collarbone fell to the floor.The deep scar underneath was exposed to the air.It was the scar from the bullet I took for Dante during the dock shootout years ago.Back then, Dante sat by my hospital bed, eyes red and

I booked my flight back to family headquarters and returned to the estate that evening.Lena grabbed my hand the second she saw me in the foyer.“ Seraphina, I didn’t make Dante say he didn’t know you. I didn’t mean to take your spot as guest of honor. ”“ I just didn’t want the ceremony to fall apart. It’s bad for Luca… ”I coldly pulled my hand away and ignored her.I walked straight to the study.Lena followed right after me, her heels clicking fast on the marble.She saw me sorting through property transfer documents on the desk and panicked.“ Seraphina, what are you doing? ”“ Are you still mad at me? ”I stood up and looked at her, my face blank.“ Isn’t it obvious? I’m divorcing Dante. I’m sorting out all the Voss family assets to make room for you three. ”Lena’s face went white.“ Seraphina. We’ve been through hell and back together for ten years. That’s what you think of me? ”I didn’t waste words on her. I turned back to sorting the papers.Lena panicked.She stepped forwar

He stood there frozen.Lena was still crying in his arms, but he couldn’t hear a word.Divorce.Seraphina was divorcing him.It wasn’t a fight. It wasn’t a tantrum.It was real. Signed, sealed, delivered.He shoved Lena away and ran for the security gate like a madman.But the gate was already closed.The flight had already taken off.It carried his wife straight to Charlton Family headquarters.Only then did he realize.When she said “three days is enough to wrap everything up,” she wasn’t angry.She wasn’t waiting for him to beg.She was really leaving.She was really going to settle ten years of scores.She was going to walk away from the life they shared.And he’d taken her love for granted for ten years.He thought she’d always be there waiting.He didn’t understand until the divorce papers were in his hand.This time, Seraphina was gone for good.At the same time, on a transatlantic flight.I took off the platinum pendant I’d worn for years and set it gently in its velvet case.C

After that, he completely broke.Luca cried at home every day, begging for his mom.The elite academy he’d attended expelled him.Parents signed petitions saying the traitor’s son didn’t belong with their kids.Dante had no choice but to send him to a public school in the slums.The boy went from a spoiled little heir to a kid in the gutter overnight.Most kids there were children of rival families.They bullied him every day.They stole his lunch. They pushed him into the gutter.He came home with bruises every day.He never mentioned Lena again.He barely even called Dad anymore.He just sat by the door a lot, staring in the direction of Charlton headquarters.He finally knew the “ bad woman ” he’d talked about was the one who’d always protected him.It was too late.After that,Dante tried to see me many times.He waited outside headquarters from dawn till dark.Security wouldn’t let him in.He sent flowers, gifts, long letters full of apologies.I had them all thrown away.He even r

Three more months have passed.The Charlton Family expanded into Europe.I spent most of my time at the docks, overseeing the launch of new routes.One afternoon, I walked the old docks with Rook for a routine inspection.The whole port had been fully renovated.Cranes, containers, patrol crews, all up to Charlton standard.The sea wind blew sharply and salty.A distant cargo ship blew its horn.We rounded a stack of shipping crates and I spotted him first.Dante was heaving a heavy wooden crate off the back of a truck.His back was bowed under the weight.His shirt was soaked through with sweat, stuck to his back.The foreman yelled at him from a few feet away.“ Hurry it up, Voss! You’re behind again. You want me to dock your pay again? ”Dante didn’t answer.He just gritted his teeth and stacked the crate on the pile.Luca crouched in the shadow of a nearby wall, holding a burlap sack.He picked up loose cardboard and plastic bottles off the ground and stuffed them in.The boy had l
