That year, during the Sicilian arms trafficking conflict, my lover of three years, Silvio, deliberately betrayed my transport routes at a critical moment in a deal with the rival DiMarco family, causing me to lose all my territory.He immediately defected to the DiMarco family's leader Marina, becoming her lover.
As he left, he didn't even bother to disguise his betrayal, coldly tossing out, "What we had was just business, nothing personal."
While I was burdened with my family's blood debts and pushed to the edge of a cliff, Lorenzo, who had secretly harbored feelings for me since childhood, found me and offered his family's entire fortune.
"Isabella, don't be afraid. In my eyes, you'll always be Sicily's most formidable Queen of the Arms Trade," he said.
He took the Colt pistol from my hand, and his voice was gentle yet resolute.
Five years later, my power resurged. I was about to completely crush Marina's smuggling network and reclaim everything I had lost.
My caporegimes, the captains of my organization, were ready and waiting for my command.
But on the night before the operation, my weapons warehouse suddenly exploded, turning priceless arms into worthless scrap metal. I barely escaped through the thick smoke, my body covered in burns.
In a secluded monastery, I overheard Lorenzo and Silvio whispering outside my door.
"You really had the guts to blow up the arsenal. Weren't you afraid of blasting her to pieces too?" Silvio's voice carried a mocking tone.
"If she died, just died. I've always loved Marina. If it weren't for that unlucky family marriage lottery five years ago, I wouldn't have had to endure this ugly bitch for all this time." Lorenzo's voice was ice-cold and unfamiliar.
I closed my eyes, feeling like a dagger had pierced my chest.
Explosion. Arranged marriage. Ugly bitch.
So those five years of shared hardship were just his unwilling choice after losing a high-stakes gamble.
