Chapter 1

[Your travel documents will be ready by tonight. The private jet is scheduled to take off tomorrow at 11 PM.]I, Isadora Moretti, lowered my gaze and switched off my phone.Damiano Alberti was still standing by the doorway of the new bedroom. "What's wrong?"His brows were slightly raised, and there was still a hint of amusement in his eyes. Clearly, he hadn't taken my feelings seriously.I put my phone away. "Nothing. I'm just thinking about the wedding."He didn't suspect a thing. He cupped my face and kissed my cheek. "Are you still upset?"I turned my face away, refusing to look at him. Damiano let out a helpless chuckle. "Isadora, Julia will only be staying here temporarily. Once we've dealt with the people tracking her, she'll move out."I fought back the sting in my nose. "You even changed the layout of the rooms for her. Even if she moves out for now, what happens the next time she needs something? She'll probably just move right back in."Damiano didn't deny it. Right

"Are you jealous of her?" Damiano asked.I turned my face away. "I'm just saying it as it is."He reached out and cupped my face. "Julia has been with me for many years. She's done a lot for this family, and she's one of the people I trust most."His tone suddenly softened. "Come on, sweetheart. Don't make a fuss."My expression darkened immediately.Last year, Julia had made a serious mistake during an operation. Several Capos had demanded that she be stripped of her important responsibilities on the spot.I had been there too.Damiano had been sitting there with a dark expression while making a phone call. After everyone had finished speaking, he gave only one answer. "She stays."When someone tried to argue further, his expression remained unchanged. "If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."After the meeting, I had reminded him, "You keep covering for her every time. What do you think the others will make of it?"Damiano had frowned. "I know what kind of person

When I went downstairs, Damiano was already sitting in the dining room.The moment he saw me, his face lit up. He reached out and pulled me toward him. "Happy birthday."He then kissed my cheek.There was nothing on the table. Damiano took my hand. "What do you want? Jewelry? A car? Whatever you like, I'll get it for you."I fought back the sting in my nose.The year Julia independently led a team to complete her first mission, he had canceled all his evening plans just to celebrate with her.But when it came to me, he said he would give me anything I wanted. All I wanted was to have his undivided attention for one entire evening, but Julia had managed to take that away from me so easily.I forced a smile. "I don't need anything."Damiano frowned. "Are you upset again?""No."He gave me an exasperated yet impatient look before leaning over to kiss my cheek. "I have some family business to take care of this afternoon. I might be home late tonight."I lowered my gaze and clenc

"Isadora!" Damiano quickly caught up with me and grabbed my wrist. His brows were tightly furrowed. "That car had no identifying marks. I was simply protecting the person closest to me.""I know."He tilted his head and frowned. "So there's no misunderstanding? What's wrong then?"I turned my face away, refusing to look at him. Tears glistened faintly in my eyes. "There was a car following behind her, and you noticed immediately."Damiano's expression gradually turned tense.I looked at him again. "Do you remember the bullet someone sent me at the charity gala last year?"His expression darkened. "I had someone escort you home that day.""And what about you?" I asked."Those negotiations concerned the entire port." Damiano frowned, and his voice grew sterner. "I couldn't just walk away."I fought back my tears and finally managed a self-deprecating smile. "What about today?"Damiano looked at me."Which port was having trouble today?" I asked.He was at a loss for words.I

"Sir, Ms. Moretti canceled the wedding. The church and reception hall decorations, guest transportation arrangements, and even her final wedding dress fitting have all been canceled."Damiano's mind went blank for a moment. Once he recovered, he asked, "When did that happen?""Yesterday afternoon."His breathing suddenly grew heavy.Yesterday afternoon, I stood outside the private club and told him, "No. The wedding has already–"Then the call from the clinic had come in, and he hadn't even listened to the rest of my sentence. He had casually dismissed me by saying, "Make whatever decision you want about the wedding."Damiano clenched his jaw. "Matteo!"The Underboss outside immediately pushed open the door. "Boss.""Check every private flight that left Sicily tonight. Search the ports, highways, and train stations too. I want to know exactly when Isadora left, who she went with, and where she is now."Matteo Alberti lowered his head. "Understood, Boss.""You have ten minutes

Damiano sat at the head of the table. He was still holding the ring I had left behind. "What were you just saying?"Neither maid dared to speak.His expression darkened. "Have you decided not to answer?"One of the maids was trembling so badly that her legs nearly gave out."Ms. Romano had several boxes of clothes delivered to the new estate last night. She also said that since the person who was supposed to leave had finally left, the master bedroom would belong to her from now on."Damiano's expression grew tense. "What else?"The two maids exchanged glances. The other one swallowed nervously. "Ms. Romano has always said privately that you treat her differently from everyone else."Damiano's brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"The maid lowered her head. "She said that no matter what happened to her over the years, you would always protect her. She also said that although Donna was going to marry you, she was the only person who could truly make you bend the rules."Damiano's

Three black sedans had barely approached the gates when more than a dozen armed bodyguards stepped forward to block their way.The man leading them walked up. "Our boss has given strict orders. No one from the Alberti family is allowed to enter with weapons."Matteo's expression darkened. "Do you know who's sitting in the car?"The man didn't back down. Instead, he straightened his chest. "I do."The men behind Matteo had already placed their hands on their gun grips. The atmosphere instantly grew tense.Damiano pushed open the car door. "Nobody moves."Everyone immediately stopped. He personally removed the gun tucked behind his waist and placed it on the roof of the car. He retrieved his backup weapon as well and casually tossed it into the bushes nearby.Matteo froze. "Boss."Damiano looked thoroughly irritated. "All of you stay outside.""But inside–"Damiano cut Matteo off with a glare. "I said stay outside."No one dared say another word.Damiano walked through the ga

Starting the next day, one stack of family business documents after another was delivered over.Two Capos from Catania flew in personally, while the negotiations in Naples proceeded as scheduled.When a shipment went missing, Damiano dismissed the person in charge on the spot.His expression was frighteningly grim. No one in the entire conference room dared to look up. Everyone knew he was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and no one wanted to provoke him.As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately turned to Matteo. "Did Isadora go out today?""No."On the third day, he asked again. "Where is she?""She went to the law firm this morning."Damiano abruptly stood up. "Get the car."Matteo froze. "Boss?""Now."By the time they arrived at the law firm, I had just come out.Damiano's eyes lit up when he saw me, and he hurried over. "Isadora."I remained expressionless and turned around to leave.He took two steps toward me and reached forward, but he quickly stopped h

That evening, the Alberti family held a core meeting. More than a dozen Capos were in attendance.Before the meeting ended, someone cautiously spoke up."Boss, now that the wedding has been canceled, the Donna's position–"Damiano abruptly looked up. The Capo who spoke immediately fell silent."Continue." His voice was eerily cold.The Capo's face turned pale. "The family will eventually need a Donna."Damiano's expression hardened. "Who told you I was going to replace her with another woman?"Silence instantly fell over the study.He stood up and clenched his jaw. "Listen carefully. If anyone discusses my marriage again, they'll be thrown out of the core meeting themselves."Everyone immediately lowered their heads. "Understood, Boss."After the meeting, the butler entered with a set of keys. "Boss, the seaside estate has been completely restored to Donna Alberti's original design. The room beside the master bedroom has also been dismantled."Damiano's expression darkened.

I was attending a private dinner between several Elysian families on behalf of my family. Halfway through the banquet, my assistant suddenly approached me."Isadora, the Alberti family has arrived."I looked up and saw Damiano walking in.He was wearing a black suit and looked as handsome and imposing as ever. Matteo and two Capos followed behind him.The moment he appeared, the people standing in his way immediately stepped aside. Several others took the initiative to approach him."Don Alberti."Damiano maintained his usual composure and acknowledged them with a nod.The next second, he saw me and stopped walking abruptly.He stared at me for a long time. His eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.I calmly shifted my gaze away and continued discussing a contract with the person in front of me.From the corner of my eye, I watched that faint smile gradually disappear.Before long, Damiano walked over himself."Isadora." His voice was hoarse.I turned around.
