Todos los capítulos de I Quit His Love Tests and Returned to My Mafia Family: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

When I first met Melville, my men and I were dealing with a mole Charles Whitmore had planted in our family.We'd just sent the guy to meet his maker when Melville came charging in and pulled me behind him.He thought I was some poor girl being harassed by gangsters.The idea was new to me, and I found it amusing.I was the only heir to the Calvetti family. I'd grown up surrounded by guns, betrayal, and blood.My family was famous for being cold-blooded and practical. They loved me, but they never spoiled me, because that would only make me weak.I'd never met a hothead who would rush in to protect a complete stranger. I fell for him.Dewey Marino, the family's underboss, was about to pull a gun and teach him a lesson, but I stopped him with a look.Melville got me away from those dangerous-looking men, never guessing I was the one in charge of them.After that, we naturally grew close and ended up together.The day after we made it official, I decided to tell him who I really was. But

The harsh smell of hospital disinfectant woke me.Melville had kept watch beside my bed. The moment I opened my eyes, he pulled me into a tight embrace. "Thank God you're awake. The doctor said your heart is on the right side of your chest, so you're out of danger."He looked stricken with guilt. "I'm sorry. I never thought Cecilia would go that far. I regret it..."I cut him off. "Shoot her with a crossbow too, and I'll forgive you."Melville froze for a second, then flatly refused. "Babe, we've already settled on compensation. The Ferguson family agreed to hand over a month's worth of its Manhattan orders."He kissed my forehead. "Leave it all to me, okay? No more fighting. I owe you big for this one. I've wanted those orders for a long time. Whatever reward you want, it's yours. As long as you behave." My hands curled into fists. My chest ached.To him, my brush with death was just a bargaining chip, a way to squeeze out more profit.Once again, Melville had put profit before me.An

The moment he pushed open the door, he froze. The room was empty.None of Serafina's things were by the bed. All of her clothes were gone from the closet.Everything she usually left lying around on the table had been cleared away.All that was left was the itinerary they'd spent three months planning. The first item was their planned kiss beneath the northern lights, with Serafina in her wedding dress.Now a large X, drawn in red marker, slashed across the itinerary.The color drained from Melville's face. He ran into the bedroom, then the bathroom. He even checked the balcony.She wasn't anywhere.All his strength seemed to leave him. He staggered back, slammed into the corner of the table, and collapsed on the floor. "Serafina, where did you go?"He immediately sent his men to track her down, then went back to the hospital to comb through the security footage himself.The footage showed Serafina leaving the hospital and getting into a black Rolls-Royce. His only clue was a silver th

Melville didn't give up.He tried everything he could think of to arrange chance encounters with me: exclusive dinner parties, the racetrack, private auctions. If he knew I would be there, he always arrived early.The last time, he bought a gemstone necklace worth a fortune at an auction and brought it to me himself.I gave it one glance, then dropped it in the trash right in front of him.Dewey stood off to the side and gave him a half-amused look. "You think junk like this is good enough for Ms. Calvetti?"Word spread fast in our circles.When Cecilia heard, she completely lost it.She brought in reporters from several media outlets, then went live and sobbed into the camera that I had stolen her fiancé. She also released an edited video from the auction, cutting out every shot of me throwing the necklace away.But the livestream had barely started when it suddenly cut out.Every nasty post about me vanished just as fast.What Cecilia didn't realize was that by coming after me in pub
