The Mafia Queen's Bloody Vengeance Chapter 1

I woke up with a searing pain in my side, hearing my husband Ethan's voice just outside the door.

He was telling our doctor he'd taken my kidney without my consent to give to his mistress.

"Her body is a family asset," he said, then walked in and lied that my own kidney had failed.

For ten years, I built his mafia empire and nursed him back from death. In return, he carved me up like an animal for the woman he was cheating with.

As he held my hand, feigning concern, I decided to make a call.

To the one man in this city my husband truly fears.

Chapter 1

Seraphina POV:

The first thing I registered was the pain, a searing fire that ripped through my side. It was a brutal, physical thing, an anchor pulling me from the black fog of unconsciousness. My throat was raw, my head thick with a chemical haze. I was in a bed, the sheets too starchy, the air sterile and cold. Not my bed.

A low murmur drifted from outside the slightly ajar door. Two voices. One was Dr. Gallo, our family's physician for two decades. The other belonged to Ethan. My Ethan.

"Is she stable?" Ethan's voice was clipped, impatient. The sound of it, usually a comfort, sent a tremor of wrongness through me.

"She will be," Dr. Gallo replied, his tone heavy. "But, Ethan, this was reckless. To take it without her consent... it violates every oath I've ever taken."

Take what? Confusion warred with the encroaching panic. My hand moved instinctively to my side, fingers probing the thick bandage taped to my skin. Beneath it, the source of the fire pulsed.

"Her consent was a liability we couldn't afford," Ethan's voice was ice. "Isabella needed it. That's all that matters. Sera is strong; she'll recover. She always does."

Isabella.

His mistress. The woman he swore was just a fleeting comfort after he was nearly killed in an ambush six months ago. The woman who was now living in our home.

The cold that washed over me had nothing to do with the room's temperature. It was a deep, internal freeze, a paralysis of the soul. He wasn't talking about something he'd borrowed. He was talking about something he had *taken*. From inside me.

A memory flickered through the fog. Me, accepting a glass of water from his hand last night, my head already feeling heavy. Him, smiling that smile that had always made my world tilt on its axis. "Just relax, cara," he'd murmured. "You've been working too hard."

The fog cleared, replaced by a horrifying, crystalline clarity. He had drugged me.

Dr. Gallo sighed, a sound of profound weariness. "Her blood type is rare, Ethan. A perfect match for Isabella, yes, but what if she has complications? What if she needs a transfusion?"

"Then she'll get one," Ethan said dismissively. "She's my wife. Her body, her blood... it's a family asset. It belongs to the Costellos. Now, how soon until Isabella can receive the transplant?"

A family asset.

The words echoed in the sudden, roaring silence of my mind. Ten years. Ten years I had dedicated to him, to the Costello family. I built his legitimate businesses from the ground up, laundering millions and giving the Bratva a respectable face. I nursed him back from the brink of death after that ambush, holding his hand through fevers and nightmares. I loved him with a loyalty so absolute it was a religion.

And he carved me up like a piece of meat to save the woman he was fucking.

The pain in my side was nothing compared to the agony that ripped through my chest. It felt like my heart was being torn from its moorings. The physical violation was horrific, but the casual way he spoke of me-like a resource to be harvested-that's what broke me.

He appeared in the doorway then, his handsome face arranged into a mask of concern. He saw my eyes were open and rushed to my side, taking my hand. His touch felt like a brand.

"Sera, thank God. You gave us all a scare. You collapsed. Your kidney... it failed. We had to perform an emergency removal."

The lie was so bald, so insulting, it almost made me laugh. My eyes flickered to the door, where I could see Dr. Gallo's shadow lingering. He couldn't meet my gaze. He knew.

I looked back at Ethan, at the man I thought was my life, my future. I saw him for what he was. A monster wearing the face of a king.

Every last drop of love, of devotion, of loyalty I had ever felt for him evaporated in that single, cold moment. It left behind a hollow, aching void. And in that void, something new and hard began to form. An idea. A plan.

He squeezed my hand. "Don't worry. I'm here. I'll take care of you."

I didn't pull away. I let my fingers lie limp in his. I let the tears that welled in my eyes spill over, playing the part of the frightened, fragile wife. He needed to believe I was broken. He needed to underestimate me. It was the only weapon I had left.

As he stroked my hair, murmuring empty comforts, my mind was already moving. There was only one man in this city Ethan feared. One rival powerful enough to challenge the Costello empire. A man whose name was spoken in whispers, a ghost who controlled the city's north side with an iron fist.

Dante Moretti.

When Ethan finally left, promising to return shortly, I waited for the sound of his footsteps to fade completely. The pain in my side was a vicious, constant reminder of what he had done. It fueled me. Slowly, painfully, I reached for my phone on the bedside table. My fingers trembled, not from weakness, but from a cold, simmering rage.

I found the encrypted number I had acquired years ago for strategic intelligence. A number I had never, ever planned to use. A number that meant breaking Omertà, the sacred code of silence. It was a death sentence.

But I was already dead. Ethan had killed the woman I used to be.

The phone was answered on the first ring. A low, gravelly voice. "Yes?"

My voice was a raw whisper, but it didn't shake. "I have information that will bring down the Costello family," I said, the words tasting like ash and freedom. "I want to speak to Dante Moretti. Tell him Seraphina Valentino is cashing out."

There was a pause, a silence that stretched for an eternity.

Then, the voice on the other end said, "Stay where you are. We're coming."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The password to my husband's study wasn't our anniversary. It was his mistress's birthday. Inside, hidden under a stack of blueprints, I found a document titled "Transfer of Guardianship." It stated that upon birth, I would be stripped of all parental rights, and my baby would be raised by Kaleigh, the "Luna Designate." When I confronted Jacob, the Alpha of the Moonstone Pack, he didn't even flinch. "Kaleigh is wolfless and barren," he said coldly, sipping his whiskey. "She has the political connections to be Luna. You are just an Omega." "I am your wife!" I screamed. "You are an incubator," he corrected me. "Your genes are useful. Your status is not." He then tossed a key on the table. It was for a hidden condo. He told me that after they took my son, I could live there as his secret mistress for "stress relief." Kaleigh even mind-linked me, laughing as she called me a vessel, bragging that Jacob had never marked me because he was saving his bite for her. I realized then that running wasn't enough. To save my son, Aurelia Flynn had to cease to exist. I bought a vial of "The Widow's Kiss"—a poison that stops the heart for ten minutes—and lit a match. As the flames consumed our penthouse, I drank the poison and let the world believe the Alpha's rejected mate had committed suicide. Ten years later, deep in the mountains, Jacob stumbled into a clearing while inspecting land. He fell to his knees when he saw me, thinking he was seeing a ghost. "Aurelia? I buried you..." "You buried a memory," I said, my voice commanding him with a power he had never known I possessed. Then, a boy stepped out from behind me. He had Jacob's jawline, but his eyes were molten gold, and his aura was that of a legendary White Wolf. Jacob looked at the boy, trembling. "Is he... is he mine?" "He is mine," I replied, my eyes glowing. "You wanted a tool for your mistress. Instead, I raised the King who will strip you of everything."

I developed the AI that powered Innovatech's meteoric rise, securing $50 million in Series B funding. My wife, Bella, our CEO, promised me significant public recognition and a hefty bonus for my pivotal role. But after calling me on stage, she handed me a flimsy envelope containing a $50 Amazon gift card. Hours later, I scrolled through her latest social media posts: Julian Vance, our new 'Chief Branding Officer' of two months, grinning beside a new Tesla Model S Plaid, sporting a limited-edition Audemars Piguet watch, all company-expensed, with Bella's caption praising his "contributions to our Series B success." The humiliation deepened when I discovered my generous bonus was withheld. Worse, my entire engineering team' s monthly performance bonuses were zeroed out, with a sub-note about "inefficient resource utilization"-a transparent excuse to cover Julian's exorbitant spending. To add insult to injury, Bella then brazenly demanded my late grandmother's cherished sapphire locket for Julian, promising to reinstate my team's stolen bonuses in return. The audacity was breathtaking. How could the woman I built this empire with, my partner, my wife, so completely devalue my work and our shared legacy for a charlatan who barely understood our product? The betrayal wasn't just personal; it was a professional insult, a systematic dismantling of integrity and respect. "I want a divorce," I told her, the words flat and final. This wasn't merely about meager compensation; it was about reclaiming my worth and liberating my brilliant team from a company spiraling into delusion. I would ensure Bella paid the ultimate price for choosing a fraud over the very foundation of her empire.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
