The PTA Meeting That Ended Us
My name is Carmela Romano.
My wedding to Enzo Moretti, the mafia boss, comes with a price tag of hundreds of millions. The extravagant affair leaves the world utterly astonished.
Enzo declares his love with a sky full of fireworks and fills the venue with a million roses. The ten-carat ring on my finger gleams brilliantly, outshining everything around me.
Everyone envies our love story.
But one day, everything falls apart. After a brutal attack by a rival gang, I suffer a miscarriage. To my disbelief, Enzo is absent, preoccupied with a parent-teacher meeting for Luca Vitale—the son of his childhood sweetheart.
After 66 unanswered calls, Enzo finally texts me.
"I'm at Luca's parent-teacher meeting. Stop calling me!"
"Luca grew up without a father. I'm only helping him this once. There's no reason to make a scene!"
Blood seeps out beneath me, and the agony in my stomach is unbearable. I can only sink deeper into despair.
The child I've waited for all these years is gone.
The snow falls heavier with every passing moment. I close my eyes, yearning to escape this world with my baby.
But miraculously, a patrolling officer discovers me, barely clinging to life.
When I wake in the hospital, one thought burns in my mind.
"I want a divorce. Enzo, I'm done with you."
