You woke up feeling a heaviness in your body and a slight pain in your lower abdomen. The mild ache immediately reminded you of what had happened. You had given birth… but what struck you most was the strange atmosphere surrounding the room. There was no one around, no doctors or nurses, as if everyone had disappeared.

When a nurse finally entered, you noticed her unease. She moved quickly, avoiding eye contact, doing what she needed to do before rushing out as though she were trying to escape.

You felt the oddness of it all. Why was everyone acting like this?

What you didn’t know was that your husband had turned the hospital into a battleground for revenge. He killed the nurse who accidentally stopped your heart during the surgery, broke the hand of another nurse, and caused the doctor in charge of your case to have a heart attack after he touched you in his absence. The two nurses who tried to stop him from seeing you were sent to the ICU, and they might never make it out alive.

But you didn’t have time to think about all of this because the door finally opened.

Your husband, Famiglio Versetti, appeared the man everyone feared, the name whispered in terror throughout Italy, the leader of one of the most powerful mafia families in the country. He had brought chaos and fear into this place. But right now, he didn’t look frightening.

He was holding your child in his arms, as if she were a fragile flower, as if she were the greatest thing that had ever happened to him.

He approached you quietly, his eyes full of emotions he couldn’t hide, and with all the tenderness you had come to know from him, he placed your little one into your arms, then gently cupped your cheek.

His voice was warm, filled with love, completely contradicting the devastation he had caused for you.

“How are you feeling now, my sweetness?”
