The father is critically ill, but my husband, as the attending physician, is traveling with his first love. He takes care of her in every way and even blames me for not being understanding. After my father passes away, I become understanding and decide to support him and his first love by filing for divorce. Yet, he cries and says he doesn't want to.

Chapter 1

On the day of my father, David Ford's funeral, it was raining cats and dogs outside.

With my mother having passed away long ago and the remaining relatives not being close, I was left alone to handle all the details of the funeral.

At the hospital, I watched as my father's body was covered with a white sheet.

Then, I followed the funeral home staff to deal with the various processes.

It wasn't until I was at the graveyard that I finally had a moment to breathe and gather my thoughts.

Colleagues and friends attending the funeral kept asking me, "Why isn't Josh here?"

"He's been on leave these past few days and didn't come to work. How could he not attend his father-in-law's funeral?"

But when they saw my calm expression, they quickly retracted their words.

Indeed, why wasn't Josh Spencer here?

As my father's apprentice, he should have come to help.

As my husband, he should have been here to stay with me.

Yet, he wasn't.

With a heavy heart, I dialed his number again, only to be met with a busy signal.

A friend from my department came over to comfort me, "Josh might have something important going on."

I tried to console myself too, thinking Josh was just busy.

After all, besides his work at the hospital, Josh was trying to start a business with his college friends.

But when I had a moment to check social media, I saw him in a post Kate Harrison had just shared.

The people in the photo were her college friends, and Kate was standing very close to Josh, looking very much like a couple.

So, his "important matter" was celebrating Kate's birthday.

I could no longer deceive myself.

The irony hit me hard.

I looked up at the sky outside.

The sky was gloomy, and I caught the large raindrops falling from above with my hand.

I managed a bitter smile as tears mingled with the rain.

"Dad, there's no one left to love me anymore."

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
