Joseph Vincent

Pada tahun kelima sejak aku menikah dengan tuan ketua mafia, aku menyadari bahwa jimat pelindung yang dia berikan dan selalu kupakai membuat kepalaku sering terasa pusing. Aku mengeluarkan pil yang tersembunyi di dalam jimat itu lalu membawanya ke rumah sakit keluarga. Dokter menelitinya sejenak, lalu mengatakan bahwa benda itu sama sekali bukan obat penenang, melainkan sejenis racun kronis. Jika dipakai dalam waktu lama, bukan hanya dapat menyebabkan kemandulan, tetapi juga menimbulkan kerusakan serius pada tubuh. Aku langsung runtuh dan berseru, “Nggak mungkin. Ini pemberian suamiku. Namanya Vincent Kora, dia juga pemilik di balik rumah sakit ini.” Dokter itu tampak curiga dan berkata, “Nona, gimana kalau Anda periksakan diri ke bagian psikologi? Aku kenal Pak Vincent dan istrinya. Hubungan mereka sangat baik, dan belum lama ini sang istri baru saja melahirkan. Sekarang mereka sedang di ruang VIP lantai atas buat jenguk anak mereka. Sambil berkata demikian, dia membuka foto di ponselnya. Di dalam foto, Vincent mengenakan setelan jas hitam khas keluarganya sambil menggendong seorang bayi di lengannya. Di sampingnya berdiri seorang wanita .... Aku mengenalnya, namanya Claudia. Dialah adik angkat yang selalu disebut-sebut oleh Vincent.

I was a brilliant artist. But I crushed my right hand saving my mafia husband, Vincent, and my ability to create died with it for three years. Vincent promised he'd make me whole again. Our private doctor swore he was doing everything he could. But my hand remained numb, useless. Then, one day, I overheard a conversation that shattered my world. "Make sure she can never create again," Vincent told the doctor. "I can't have Isabella threatening Sophia's place in the art world!" "But, Mr. Torrino, another procedure might... she could lose the hand for good." "I don't care what happens to her! Sophia saved my life. I will not let her down!" It turned out my husband was the one who had destroyed me. And the assassin, Sophia, was the woman he truly loved. He let her claim my designs, turning her into the art world’s new darling while I was trapped in a broken body. When I confronted him, pregnant with our child, he slapped me in public and told the world I was losing my mind. That night, I burned everything that bound me to him. Then I dialed an encrypted number I hadn't used in what felt like a lifetime. "Grandpa. In three days, I need to disappear."

I was the odd one out in the Chicago mob. Other men's women spent their time fighting for affection, clawing for power, watching out for the homewreckers. Not me. I spent mine cleaning up after my boyfriend, Don Vincent Maro. His political rivals — I squared away. His brother's messes — I handled overnight. The women he kept on the side — I dealt with personally. Last month it got worse. He asked me to go chase off a man who'd been hanging around Sofia, his new girl. Sofia pouted. "Elena really can do everything." Vincent said, "That's why I keep her around." Sofia asked, "Won't Elena be upset?" Vincent paused. "Her? She's used to it." Seven years. No title in the Maro family. No public acknowledgment. Just one function — fixing things. This time, I was tired. I slid the last stack of documents across to Vincent. He signed them one after another without looking up. When he was done, he asked: Anything else? I said: No. It's all handled. What he didn't know was that at the bottom of that stack was the document terminating every identity I held inside the Maro family. The moment his pen touched that page, I no longer belonged to the Maros. And I no longer belonged to him.

Vor der Zeremonie der Verlobungsrituale verkündete mein Verlobter Vincent auf dem Frachtschiffsdeck am neuen Kai, dass meine Stiefschwester Sophia, seine erste Liebe, die an einer Herzkrankheit litt, seine rechtmäßige Ehefrau sei. Er hielt Sophia im kalten Licht des Suchscheinwerfers im Arm und lächelte zärtlich: „Nach den Regeln der Mafia zählt nur eine Frau, die von den Kernmitgliedern der Familie anerkannt wird, als Madre der Familie. Alle anderen sind bloß Geliebte.“ Unter dem Segen der Familienältesten tauschten sie schwarze Diamantketten aus, schworen sich ewige Treue und schlossen den Bund der Liebe. Ich sah still zu und vereinbarte einen Termin für einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch. Vom sechzehnten bis zum achtundzwanzigsten Lebensjahr hatte ich zwölf Jahre lang nur Vincent geliebt – doch in seinem Herzen gab es immer nur Sophia. Da dies so war, entschied ich mich loszulassen.
