Vincent Valentine Turk

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."

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 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.

I worked at a sales job and felt pretty good about my work. Then, Vivian appeared. She was a new intern with an insatiable curiosity for others’ private affairs. On Valentine’s Day, my husband, Henry Ambrose, bought a million dollars’ worth of bags from me to help me meet my sales target. Just as I left work to meet him for a date, Vivian sent a snide message. [Your Fitbit just logged an extra thousand steps. That’s literally the exact distance to the hotel next door. Nice work, Lily! You close a million-dollar deal and immediately head to the hotel with the client?] I coldly fired back, [If you’re this desperate to stalk people, you should’ve just joined the K-9 unit.] That very night, parcels of adult toys appeared on my doorstep. Vivian had written a nasty post that had gone viral, and things turned out like this! [This Salesgirl Slept With My Client and Stole My Million-Dollar Commission on Valentine’s Day!] A pair of my ripped silk stockings, which I had tossed in the trash, became her “proof” that I had seduced a client during work hours. Vivian was painted as the victim, while I was viciously smeared as a “salesgirl who slept with clients for commissions.” What Vivian did not know was that Henry was actually a leading researcher worth billions. I only took the sales job because I was bored and wanted to experience something new.
