Don's Priorities: Secretary's Cat, Then Our Child Chapter 9
In the past, I had always given in whenever Sofia asked me for help.When she wanted a job, I helped her with her job applications. When she wanted to be in charge of a project, I stayed up all night preparing her proposals.I had genuinely treated her as my best friend, but she went behind my back to seduce my husband."Sofia, we stopped being friends the moment you started trying to seduce Vito," I said before ending the call and blocking the number.…The next morning, when I left my apartment to head to work, the doorman called out to me in the lobby."Ms. Marino!"He glanced outside before lowering his voice, saying, "During the storm last night, a man spent the entire night kneeling outside your window. They had to haul him off at 4:00 am."Without pausing in my tracks, I replied, "Ignore him."I'd just opened the door to my car when a figure suddenly rushed out from behind a pillar and stood in my way.It was Vito. His shirt was completely soaked through, clinging to h

In the days that followed, I stuck to my regular routine. I went to work as usual, traveling back and forth between my apartment and the office every day.One evening, after finishing my work, I went down to the basement parking lot to get my car. As I turned around the corner, I saw someone leaning against my car.It was Vito.He had lost a ton of weight. His cheekbones now protruded sharply, and dark circles ringed beneath his eyes. His white dress shirt was covered in creases, and one of the buttons on his cuff was missing. The collar hung open as well.In his hand was a bouquet of lilies. The petals had already begun to wilt a little, as if he'd been clutching them for a very long time.The moment he saw me, his dim eyes brightened."Luisa!"My footsteps faltered briefly before I walked right past him and headed for the driver's seat.Vito rushed forward and grabbed my wrist. "Are you done being angry? When are you coming back with me?"I flung his hand off. "I'm never goi

A year flew by, and I'd settled into my new job.One morning, I received an encrypted notification about a change in records for the Costa family's vault. The emerald pendant had been transferred back under my name.The vault manager sent me a message. "Don Vito says he knows he had wrongfully accused you back then. He wants to know where you are now."I stared at the message for a few seconds before firing back a curt response."It's none of his business where I am. Don't bother telling me about what's happening over on his side either."After sending the message, I continued reviewing some work documents. Not long after, my phone rang. It was a call from Riviera Hospital.When I answered, a nurse said to me, "Ms. Marino, the hospital recently launched a comprehensive newborn health screening package. It includes genetic screening and congenital development assessments, making it more thorough than previous prenatal checkups."Would you like to know more about it? I can send yo

Vito kept calling repeatedly, only to hear the same automated message. Finally, he lowered his phone in defeat."There's no way… She's carrying my child… If she leaves me, where could she possibly go?" he mumbled to himself.Pulling up his WhatsApp chat with me, he began to type away, erasing a few times before finally sending a message."I know I've wronged you, but was it really necessary to block me? Why can't we just talk things through face to face?"But the message didn't go through either—it was left perpetually on a single tick. He realized I must've blocked his number."Luisa…" He stared at his phone in disbelief.Sofia could barely suppress the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She took a deep breath before saying in a steady voice, "I guess we really did go a little too far this time. We ended up hurting her without meaning to."Why don't I go back with you tonight? Luisa and I have been friends for so many years. I'm sure she'll understand."Vito didn't ans

The moment I regained cell service after landing in Newbourne, I saw a bunch of missed-call notifications. They were all from Vito. Realizing I hadn't blocked his number yet, I did it right away.Several hours earlier, in his office at Costa Group, Vito was lounging on the couch, idly scratching Nina's chin. But his gaze kept drifting toward the window.Sensing that he was distracted, Sofia put her tablet aside and asked softly, "Vito, are you still thinking about the situation with Luisa?"Vito stiffened, his fingers freezing on the back of Nina's neck."Do you think… it's possible that I'd wrongfully blamed her for it? When she got shot in the calf back then, I brought her to the hospital, and she had to get over a dozen stitches. But when she woke up, the first thing she did was ask if anyone was keeping an eye on our arms shipment."She has always kept an eye on the family business to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Would she really sell out the arms shipment route she put t

That evening, I brought my resignation paperwork to Vito's office.Members of the Costa family lining both sides of the office turned to glare at me with undisguised contempt.Vito was sitting in his office, behind his desk. His expression was as dark as night.For a moment, I didn't know what was going on.Suddenly, Sofia came into the office. She grabbed my wrist, her eyes red, looking like she'd suffered some terrible injustice."I've always considered you my friend, Luisa! How could you sell the information about our arms shipment route to our rivals just to force me out of the company? If you'd told me from the beginning that you were the one who tampered with that shipment, I never would've let Vito pursue the matter."I yanked my hand away from her. "What the hell are you talking about? Why would I ever touch the family's cargo?"As soon as I finished speaking, Vito shot to his feet and marched toward me."You're still making excuses? Who else could it have been, if not
