Abandoned by My Husband, I Chose To Become the DonBefore the day of my husband's succession as the Don, my stepsister personally tattooed the "Inverted Angel's Eye"—the mark of a traitor—onto my back.
My husband didn't just turn a blind eye; when the family vendetta broke out, he withdrew all the elite guards to protect my "pregnant" stepsister, leaving me alone in a defenseless city to face the slaughter.
"Elena, you are strong enough to protect yourself. But Sophia is fragile, and she is carrying my firstborn. She needs the protection more than you."
Facing a siege of heavy firepower, I survived by the skin of my teeth.
He thought I would swallow the insult for the sake of the family's reputation.
He didn't expect that I would kick open the doors of his coronation ceremony wearing mourning weeds, flanked by the FBI and the Commission, and personally strip him of his title.
"Goodbye, Lorenzo. This time, I choose to be the Don."
