The Don's Last Obsession
To get a divorce from Dante Conti, I volunteered to walk away with nothing—even our three-year-old son.
Seeing that I had deliberately changed back into the old clothes I wore before marriage, Dante froze for a moment, then sneered, "So? You don't even want Nico, the heir you fought so hard to give birth to?"
"Careful. Play your part too long, and you won't be able to recover the scene," he warned.
I pushed the signed agreement toward him.
"Don't worry. This isn't acting."
Dante shot me a puzzled look before signing his name. "So obedient? Fine. I'll be magnanimous and let you see Nico from time to time."
He set down the pen, his gaze appraising me. "And if you regret it… come to me now, and maybe—just maybe—we could remarry—"
I cut him off, standing and walking away without a word.
He had thought I married him for the Mafia's power, that's why I had given him an heir to inherit his family.
But once he knows I'm dead, there will be no more misunderstandings.
