Not His Broken Wife, But The Mafia Princess のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

After hanging up, a violent force ripped the phone from my grip.I turned around and met Matthias’s icy dark eyes.Behind him stood a crowd of employees, their faces painted with malicious sneers.Matthias ended the call, suppressed rage flickering in his eyes."All this over a gift, Gianna?" His voice dropped low, dripping with a dangerous, icy authority. "You're the CTO of this company, and I've never been stingy with your annual bonus! Yet you actually stormed over to HR to throw a fit over a holiday perk? If word gets out, people will think Serena is bullying you."A bitter laugh nearly burst from my throat.I had simply gone to ask a routine administrative question, yet he was this frantic over protecting Serena’s reputation.For a whole year, his employees had dragged my name through the mud, calling me a pathetic, delusional mistress.Every time I brought it up, he would only sigh, wrap me in his arms, and coax me with the gentlest tone."Gianna, this is all temporary. Please, j

The surrounding employees thought what I handed Matthias was a resignation letter, instantly bursting into a round of triumphant cheers and applause.Only Serena, who was standing closest, saw Matthias tightly gripping my wrist.With a flash of panic in her eyes, her face instantly darkening. She hurried forward and wrapped her arms around Matthias's arm."Mr. Caro... are you trying to pull Ms. Moretti back to apologize to me? If she is willing to atone by resigning, I suppose I could accept her apology..."Only then did Matthias snap back from his shock.He had hidden our marriage for three full years precisely out of fear that company gossip would affect how employees and the industry viewed him. With the bidding happening tomorrow, he absolutely could not let this truth become public now. "That's right! Gianna abused her power to bully a subordinate. That's not something that can be solved just by quitting."A flash of unmanageable savagery crossed his eyes.He pulled me back and p

The next morning, the atmosphere at the bidding venue was solemn and dignified.I attended dressed in a crisp, slate-grey professional suit. Even with gauze applied to my forehead, my professionalism was not compromised in the slightest.Seeing me, Matthias was briefly taken aback, but a satisfied look of an overlord in total control soon appeared on his face.Serena stood right beside him, in a pink hip-hugging dress.Matthias adjusted his expensive suit and strode over to me. His tone considerably softer than yesterday:"I knew you'd come. You didn't come home all night, so you must have stayed up somewhere working through the night to perfect the bidding algorithm, no?"He leaned in close and sighed softly in a voice only the two of us could hear:"I didn't go home last night because I had to calm Serena down for your sake. Don't overthink it; I'll stay with you tonight. “Didn't you like that perfume of hers? I bought one for you too.”I couldn't even be bothered to look up at him.

I walked up to Serena with a subtle smile, looking at the massive transfer receipts and asset title deeds she was showing off, my tone icy cold."Serena, thank you for displaying everything so thoroughly in front of the nationwide live stream today."I pulled out a stack of court-certified marriage certificates and asset audit reports from my coat and slapped them onto her face:"Matthias Caro and I have been married for three years; we are a lawful couple. During his entrepreneurial period, the capital I injected and all earnings constitute joint marital property.""The sports coupe, perfume, and bills falsified as company expenses that you just displayed all belong to marital property unlawfully transferred by Matthias without my consent.""My legal team has already filed a case in court. Within three days, every single thing you devoured must be spat back out to me, with interest! Otherwise, the Marchetti family's legal department will ensure you spend the rest of your life in a fed
