From Mafia Wife to Rival Queen: I Came Back to Ruin HimChapter 1

My husband, Vincenzo Castellano, was a mafia boss—cold, untouchable, the kind of man people obeyed without question, the kind they would kill for. But on the night our son was fighting for his life, he wasn’t with us. He was in another hospital, comforting his mistress because her son had a simple stomach ache.

I called him from the ER, desperate, begging him to unlock my accounts. I needed to pay for a specialist. I needed it done immediately or our child wouldn’t survive.

He let out a tired sigh, irritated.

“Olivia, enough with the theatrics. Raffy is actually suffering right now. I don’t have time for your jealousy fits.”

“Vincenzo, I’m begging you… he can’t even breathe properly… please, just let me pay the doctor—”

“If you call me again, I’ll sign the divorce papers. Deal with it yourself.”

And then he ended the call.

Just like that. Like we weren’t talking about our own son.

So I stayed beside Gabriel alone, the only one holding his world together while it fell apart.
