Goodbye, Mr. Marchetti Chapter 05By Novel7s / May 9, 2026 Goodbye, Mr. Marchetti Chapter 05They didn’t know. They had no idea.Vittorio put the phone on speaker so I could hear every word.“I’ll see what I can do, Mom,” he said. “Let me talk to Serena. Don’t worry.”He hung up and looked at me.“You’re smart, Serena,” he said. “Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be.”He’d known all along. Of course he had.He’d orchestrated the whole thing.He was smarter than me. He always had been.He knew I would never let my family suffer for something I’d done.So I’deleted everything. Every file. Every photo.Vittorio watched me do it, then walked out.The next day, Enzo was released.Vittorio drove me to pick him up.On the way back, he told me I would be joining him for dinner.“Important client,” he said. “Family man. You need to be there.”“Serena. Don’t be stupid. You know what happens when you’re stupid.”I went. I let him put his arm around me. When he wanted me to smile, I smiled.Everything about it made me sick.And then I passed out.I woke up in a hospital room.Vittorio was sitting in the corner, watching me.I was pregnant.After everything, all those years of believing it would never happen,it happened at the moment when everything between us was already finished.Enzo went after them.By the time I got outside, it was too late.
