The Fake Amnesiac's Very Real Divorce
My husband, Don Vincent Corleone, has gotten ambushed during a trade-off. When he wakes up, he still remembers everyone… but me.
Soon, Vincent makes an announcement in front of everyone that Angela Mancini is his actual Donna. That's how Angela takes over my position as the precision machinist in the family.
When I'm in the machinery storage room, I accidentally overhear Vincent and Angela flirting with each other.
"Since you've lent me the identity as the Donna for a week, does this mean I get to do whatever I want with your body during this period?" Angela asks.
"Of course! The only reason why I've pretended to have contracted amnesia is so that I can appease you, after all."
As I hide in the shadows, I feel my nails digging into my palms. Still, I don't expose Vincent's lie on the spot.
At the family meeting the next day, Vincent forcibly snatches away the obsidian ring that I've been wearing. He yells at me that Angela is his actual Donna, and that I should submit all of my blueprints to the family before leaving Neplas once and for all.
All the subordinates stare at me, waiting for me to fight back.
Without moving an inch, I submit my resignation on the spot and file for a divorce.
What Vincent doesn't know is that I'm the only one who knows the assembly technology of the latest batch of firearms. There are only seven days left till the Corleone family has to hand the batch over to the client.
Seven days later, the batch starts showing issues, which implicates the Corleone family and putting them in a dire state. But that's when I've completely vanished from Neplas.
When Vincent and I meet each other again, he grabs me by the arm angrily while questioning me, "Where the hell have you gone to, Valenna? Why did you ditch me back then?"
I pretend to look confused. "Who are you? Do I even know you?"
