Not Your Pet: I'm My Own Queen のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Make sure the procedure is clean. Losing a child will only make her motherly instincts stronger. That way, she'll accept Mia much faster," Lorenzo said.The doctor hesitated, and his voice carried a trace of reluctance. "Sir, this is still your child. Ms. Jones can't even walk anymore. "If she loses the baby too, she may never have a place in the Gambino family again.""Dr. Larson, you're talking too much today. All of this is the Quintarelli family's fault, isn't it?"A small-time mafia group actually dared to kidnap my fiancée. They broke her legs and made her lose the baby. So, I wiped every last one of them to avenge Renee. "She won't blame me. She loves me. As for the child… He was never meant to exist. I promised Mia that I would only ever be her father."The doctor caught the flicker of displeasure in Lorenzo's eyes and knew better than to push further. Without saying another word, he turned and strode out of the room to prepare for surgery.Lorenzo pulled out his ph

I slipped the heart-shaped charm off Lorenzo's phone and set it aside before placing the device back where it was.Then, I simply stared out the window, letting the silence settle around me.It wasn't long before Lorenzo strode toward me, his expression grim, carrying the unmistakable presence of the mafia."Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?" He looked straight into my eyes as he questioned me.Those beautiful blue eyes—I had once loved them deeply. When Lorenzo looked at me in the past, I felt like I was the only one in his world.But how long had it been since he last looked at me like this? And now, he was only doing it again to confront me with a lie.I turned my head away, refusing to meet his gaze. My voice was flat and void of emotion. "Our child is gone."Lorenzo pulled me into his arms, and his body trembled as if on the verge of breaking. He was the one who took our child from me with his own hands. So why did he look like he had lost everything?He mig

Kelly Valente. The moment I saw her face, something clicked. I had seen her before.The Valente family was a small-time mafia family from Southwest.Years ago, the Valente family's boss came to our house, hoping to attend the birthday party of my second brother, Enzo. However, he didn't even make it past the front door. That man was Kelly's father. And the young girl who trailed behind him must have been Kelly.Back then, he failed to send her to Enzo's bed. But now, it seems that he's offered her to Lorenzo instead.This was typical of a low-tier mafia family. They would scheme their way into power instead of earning it with real strength.Kelly intentionally mentioned the Valente family, thinking it would intimidate me. But that insignificant "Valente family" wasn't even worth the breath it took to say their name.I ignored her and turned to Lorenzo. "Handle the paperwork yourself. I'm tired. I'll wait in the car."To my surprise, Lorenzo followed me, trying to explain. His

I lay sprawled on the ground, battered and humiliated, yet a cold smile curled at the corner of my lips."Apologize? Lorenzo, the wedding, the Quintarelli family's ambush, the child—who's going to apologize to me?"Lorenzo frowned, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes."What are you talking about? The Quintarelli family's ambush was an accident. The wedding, the child—you agreed to all of it. What does any of that have to do with you hurting Kelly?"Before I could respond, the Gambino family members sneered."Still acting high and mighty, even now? You're a cripple. Did you really think that you were some kind of noble lady? Kelly is from the Valente family. "If it weren't for us, the Gambinos, you wouldn't last a day out there. Trust me, the Valente family's mafia would have you dead the second you set foot outside!""That's enough. Don't waste any more time on her. This is just karma doing its job. Take Kelly to the hospital. Make sure she doesn't end up with a scar."

Lorenzo returned to the venue. The air was thick with murmurs and hushed conversations. My name was met with nothing but scorn and disdain when it came up."I heard that Ms. Valente is the principessa of the Valente family. It's an honor for Renee that she even agreed to help with the wedding. Did that woman actually think that Lorenzo would fall for her?""Exactly. Renee's the daughter of a farm owner, yet she couldn't even bother to show up to the wedding. How disrespectful.""Enough. Being engaged to a mafia boss isn't easy. Word is, Renee's leg was broken by one of the Gambino Group's enemies. If she ends up crippled, her life is as good as over."With every word spoken, Lorenzo's expression grew darker. He didn't know what was going on.He had already wiped out the Quintarelli family, silenced the informants, and locked down every possible leak. Yet somehow, the truth had still slipped through the cracks. He wondered how they knew.All he needed to do was to get through th
