My foolish Godfather husband led me back to conquer New York Chapter 09

My foolish Godfather husband led me back to conquer New York Chapter 09

Three months later, Nico formally took over the De Luca family. 

The ceremony was held at the Long Island estate. 

Every mafia family in New York was present. 

+218 Coins 

They had once mocked me-called me the Hart family’s illegitimate daughter, a discarded pawn sent to marry a fool. 

Now, they lowered their heads to greet me. 

“Mrs. De Luca.” 

I stood beside Nico, dressed in black. 

In front of everyone, he pinned an emerald brooch onto my chest. 

It was the symbol passed down through generations of De Luca matriarchs. 

The entire hall fell silent. 

Nico held my hand. His voice wasn’t loud-but it carried to every corner. 

“From today on, Evelyn is the only mistress of the De Luca family.” 

People exchanged glances. 

It wasn’t unusual for mafia men to keep mistresses. 

Especially someone like Nico-a young Don. 

But he continued- 

“I will never take a mistress. No woman will ever stand above her.” 

The hall erupted in shock. 

I turned to look at him. 

He lowered his head, adjusting the brooch on me with careful precision. 

As if completing something sacred. 

My slep 

I heard she had been driven out of the main house, forced to live in a remote puluy- 

My father came. 

He stood at the very back of the crowd, his hair much grayer. 

After the ceremony, he came to see me. 

“Evelyn.” 

I looked at him. 

This man had once been my father. 

But when my mother died, he was silent. 

When my stepmother tormented me, he was silent. 

When I was sent away to marry a fool-he was still silent. 

Now he looked at me, and for the first time, there was guilt in his eyes. 

“All these years… I failed you. 

I said calmly, 

“Yes.” 

His face turned even grayer. 

“Can I make it up to you?” 

I looked into the distance. 

Nico was standing at the steps, waiting for me.

He didn’t rush me. He simply watched quietly. 

I withdrew my gaze. 

“No.” 

My father swayed slightly. 

I continued, 

“But I won’t hate you anymore.” 

He looked up. 

“Because you’re no longer important.” 

When I finished, I walked past him. 

Without turning back. 

Nico reached out his hand. 

I placed mine in his. 

He asked softly, 

“Does it hurt?” 

I shook my head. 

“No.” 

“Then what is it?” 

I thought for a moment. 

“Relief.” 

He smiled. 

“Then shall we go home?” 

I tightened my grip on his hand.

“Let’s go home.”
