Chapter 1

The moment the email confirmation appeared on my screen, William shared his location with me.Because of who he was, he was always afraid someone might come after me, so he insisted that we share our locations every night to make sure I was safe.His message came a moment later.“Honey, are you asleep? Something came up tonight, so I’m running a little late.”If I hadn’t just watched that YouTube video, those few words of concern probably would have made my heart flutter like they always did.I didn’t answer.Instead, I opened the influencer’s profile again and saw that she was livestreaming.As usual, William casually shared pieces of his day with me.“Honey, I’m on my way back now. Monaco is beautiful. I’ll bring you here someday when I get the chance.”In the past, a promise tossed out so casually would have made me happy for days, and I would have quietly tucked it away in my heart.Only now did I realize that everything I had treasured so carefully had already been given to someon

William came home the next morning and walked over to the bed, leaning down to kiss my forehead.“Lilith, did you miss me?”Even now, the tenderness in his eyes still made my heart tremble.I remembered last winter, when he had taken a knife meant for me and needed seventeen stitches to close the wound.I stayed beside him in the hospital for three days and three nights, and the first thing he said when he finally woke up was, “Don’t cry. I’m not going to die. I still have to marry you.”Back then, I truly believed this was a man who would give his life for me.William reached into his pocket and took out a gift box with a necklace inside.“This would look perfect on you. Do you like it?”I suddenly remembered the vlog the influencer had posted that morning, showing William shopping for jewelry with her.The necklace he had brought me was the cheapest one they had looked at.“Thank you.”I took the box from him and casually set it aside.Noticing my indifference, William frowned and se

A flicker of panic crossed William’s face, and he immediately lowered the gun.There was still a trace of concern in his eyes as he looked at me. “Honey, what are you doing here?”I looked at him and forced the faintest smile, bitterness spreading through my chest.“Shouldn’t you be explaining yourself first? Why is my fiancé standing here getting engaged to another woman?”William didn’t answer. Instead, he instinctively glanced back at Laura.Laura walked over and slipped her arm naturally through his, tilting her head as she studied me with open curiosity.“Who are you?”Before I could answer, Laura’s father approached.His gaze swept over me once before settling on William. He seemed to have already sensed that something was wrong, and there was a clear warning in his voice.“My daughter isn’t someone you can treat casually. You’d better explain this to me.”William immediately smiled and stepped away from me.“Please don’t worry. This lady is only a friend of mine. I’ll take care

The car stopped in the old quarter, and the lights were still on inside my mother’s house.I pushed the door open and called out before I had even changed my shoes.“Mom.”My mother rose from the living room, and the moment she saw my swollen, reddened eyes, she froze.“Lilith, why are you back? Did you and William have another fight?”Hearing his name made my nose sting.“Mom, he lied to me.”I walked over and grabbed her sleeve, telling her everything in broken fragments.The couples influencer, the casino, the private jet, and every secret William had kept from me.My thoughts were all over the place, and my voice shook as I spoke.“William lied to me. He met that girl’s family, and they even held an engagement party. All of his men know her too. Do you know how ridiculous that makes me look?”My mother said nothing, but there was something strange in the way she looked at me.I thought she was angry on my behalf.She remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and pourin

The phone rang for a long time, but I never answered.William sent me another message.“Baby, where are you? Stop this. I’m home now, and I’m waiting for you.”The message showed as read, but there was still no reply.He sent several more.“Baby, don’t scare me like this, okay?”“We’ve been together for so many years. Are you really going to leave me over something this small?”“I think we need to sit down somewhere and talk this through. I’ll explain everything to you properly.”“Please answer me, okay?”When I continued to ignore him, William gradually began to lose patience.He stood alone in the living room, suddenly unsure what to do.Part of him still believed I was only angry, that I had gone somewhere to cool off or was hiding away because I wanted him to come looking for me.But the neatly made bed and the empty wardrobe told him otherwise.The necklace he had given me only a few days earlier was lying untouched on the table.William frowned and called one of his men.“You hav

By the time the plane landed, dawn was just beginning to break.I wheeled my suitcase through the jet bridge, and a blast of cold air greeted me as I stepped into the terminal.Near the exit stood a woman in a black trench coat, her eyes moving through the crowd as though she were searching for someone.When her gaze settled on me, she walked over and said, “Follow me.”I got into the car with her, and she focused on driving, barely speaking along the way.As I watched the unfamiliar streets pass outside the window, I found myself feeling strangely calmer.The Network’s headquarters was housed in an old building on the outskirts of the city. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned factory, but once I stepped inside, I realized there was far more to it than appearances suggested.The woman in the trench coat registered my fingerprints, then took me upstairs to the residential quarters on the third floor.“This will be your room from now on. Get some rest for now, and report to the

Chapter 7

After the meeting, I was about to leave with Sophia to get something to eat when the man called out to me.He walked over and held out his hand. “Lilith, right?”Sophia greeted him, then shot me a meaningful look. “Boss, you two talk. I’ll head out first.”The Boss?I looked at the man in front of me and finally realized that he was John, the intimidating head of the Network everyone at headquarters seemed to fear.He gave me a slightly awkward smile as we shook hands, and his palm was surprisingly warm, nothing like the cold, unapproachable man the others had described.The smile itself, however, looked a little strange, almost as if he had deliberately forced himself to make it.“I’ve seen your work. It’s good. You haven’t disappointed me.”I nodded and gave a modest reply, but didn’t say much more.From that day on, I seemed to run into John everywhere around headquarters.It was strange because our offices weren’t even on the same floor, yet somehow our paths kept crossing.One day

Chapter 8

William spun around and caught sight of me just as I was walking away.He rushed after me and seized my wrist, and when our eyes met, his voice trembled slightly. “Lilith...”I tried to pull free, but his grip held firm.There was a faint madness in William’s eyes. I hadn’t seen him in a long time, and he seemed to have changed completely. The sharp brightness that once filled his eyes was gone, and dark stubble covered his jaw as though he hadn’t bothered to take care of himself in days.The longer he looked at me, the more agitated he became.“Lilith, is it really you? I’ve been looking for you for so long. I tried everything I could think of, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”He tightened his grip on my hand and continued eagerly, “Did you finally decide to forgive me? Is that why you came back to me on your own?”“You don’t have to worry about Laura anymore. There’s nothing between us now, and I’ve taken care of everything that needed to be settled. From now on, you’ll be the only

Chapter 9

When I got back into the car, Sophia immediately asked whether something had happened and why I had taken so long.I brushed the question aside with a casual excuse and didn’t go into any detail.“Honestly, their security was terrible. The mission was much easier than I expected.”I gave the documents in my hand a light shake and smiled at her.That part of my past was not something I wanted to talk about. If anything, the years I had spent in that relationship now felt almost humiliating to remember.Sophia didn’t press me any further and simply grinned as she held up her hand for a high five.“Good. The mission’s done, so we can finally get out of here.”I nodded. I had thought William would finally give up after that.Instead, only a few days later, he came directly to the Network’s headquarters.I didn’t even know he was standing outside the compound, held back by security, until Sophia came to tell me.I went downstairs and stopped some distance away, watching him from across the

Chapter 10

Half a month later, John told me he wanted to take me somewhere.“Where are we going?”“Sicily. There’s an important occasion.”I didn’t ask any further questions and followed him onto the plane.After we arrived, John took me near the old Rina family estate.Several cars were parked outside, and voices from inside drifted out through the building, mixed with the sound of arguments and hurried conversations.I looked at him, confused.“Why did you bring me here?”John looked toward the estate and explained.“Today is the succession meeting for the position of Don. William will be removed from power today.”I froze for a moment.“William?”John continued watching the estate as he spoke.“His condition has been unstable recently. His decisions have caused dissatisfaction among his men and the senior members of the family. They held several meetings, and today they’ll officially vote.”Sitting in the passenger seat, I stared at the gates of the Rina estate.The sound of arguing carried fr
