Demi bisa bercerai dengan Ravin, aku bahkan mengajukan keluar tanpa membawa apa pun, termasuk tidak meminta anakku yang baru berusia tiga tahun. Saat melihatku mengenakan pakaian lama sebelum menikah, Ravin sempat tertegun, lalu mencibir. "Kenapa? Bahkan pewaris yang mati-matian kamu lahirkan itu juga sudah nggak kamu inginkan? Aktingmu jangan terlalu berlebihan. Hati-hati nanti semuanya malah jadi kenyataan!" Setelah menandatangani surat perjanjian itu, aku mendorongnya ke hadapannya. "Tenang saja, ini bukan akting." Ravin menatapku dengan heran sesaat, sebelum akhirnya menandatangani surat itu juga. "Tumben sepatuh ini. Baiklah, aku akan bermurah hati dan mengizinkanmu tetap datang menjenguk anak." Dia meletakkan pena, lalu menatapku dengan tatapan penuh selidik. "Kalau nyesal nanti, selama kamu memohon padaku, kita bisa saja ru ...." Aku memotong ucapannya, lalu langsung berdiri dan pergi. Ravin selalu mengira aku memanfaatkan utang budi supaya bisa menikah dengannya dan mengincar kekuasaan mafia, bahkan mati-matian melahirkan anak laki-laki untuk mewarisi keluarga. Namun, setelah dia tahu aku sudah mati, dia tidak akan salah paham lagi.

After I discovered that my husband, Leonardo Marchetti, could not let go of his first love, I started teaching our daughter Sofia to call him "Uncle Leonardo." Sofia sprained her ankle at school. In the middle of the night, Leonardo got a phone call. Valentina was crying on the other end. Her daughter Lily had a nightmare and would not stop screaming for a father. Leonardo left without saying a word. I pressed an ice pack against Sofia's swollen ankle and whispered, "Say 'goodbye, Uncle Leonardo.'" Leonardo promised to come to Sofia's school sports day. Then Valentina called, sobbing that Lily had no father to run the three legged race with him. Leonardo walked out without a second thought. I just handed the phone to Sofia and told her to tell her teacher, "Uncle Leonardo says he cannot make it." Every time, Sofia hesitated. Sofia did not understand why I was making her do this. Until one day, Leonardo finally realized how much he had failed us. He put down all his mob business for Sofia's piano recital and swore he would not miss it. Sofia was backstage with the other children. Then Leonardo's phone buzzed. Valentina. I could not hear what she said, but I could guess. Lily was crying. Lily needed him. Lily did not have a father. Leonardo came back. But before Leonardo could begin his excuse, Sofia's voice came from the stage. "It is okay, Uncle Leonardo. You go take care of your other kid. Mom staying here to watch me is enough."
