A Genius Once Fell into the Don’s Orbit Chapter 04

A Genius Once Fell into the Don’s Orbit Chapter 04

From that day on, Alessia was always showing up wherever Enzo and I were.

And Enzo went from resisting her presence to accepting it completely in less than a month.

Alessia wanted to enter Hollywood.

Enzo actually gave the order himself and assigned Venezia Entertainment’s top agent to represent her.

Seriously, Godfather, do you even know where Venezia Entertainment is located on a normal day?

Alessia entered and left the Ricci family headquarters like she was the lady of the house.

Everyone assumed she was the Ricci family’s hidden bride.

After all, I had hidden my identity at Venezia Entertainment, and no one knew about my relationship with Enzo.

But Alessia was different.

She would openly call Enzo and act spoiled over the phone, then bring takeout straight to his office on the top floor.

As for me, after Enzo coldly rejected me the first time I went there, I never returned again.

Everyone thought I was just a minor actress trying to cling to the company president.

Alessia was innocent and charming.

With Enzo’s support, she quickly became famous, and countless resources began flowing toward her.

When my agent Linda asked if I knew Alessia, I said no.

Then Linda started gossiping about her.

She complained that Alessia acted like a diva and used her connection with Venezia Entertainment’s major shareholder to snatch whatever endorsements she wanted.

It wasn’t until three of my endorsements were taken away that I realized Alessia was targeting me.

And Enzo…

Ever since I entered this industry, he had never given me any special treatment.

Whenever we met in the Ricci family headquarters, he acted as if he didn’t even see me.

At that time, I still hadn’t considered divorce.

After all, I really did love Enzo.

Until something happened.

Something that, to him, was probably just a “small matter that didn’t deserve a divorce.”

But for the first time, I realized that Enzo and I might never be able to continue.

It started with a popular wilderness reality show that invited both Alessia and me.

Everything went smoothly at first.

Alessia played the cheerful and lively actress.

And I focused on showing my intelligence during the challenges.

That day, Enzo rarely came to visit the set.

The directors and staff immediately surrounded him, greeting him enthusiastically.

That was when the accident happened.

The wooden bridge by the lake had been worn down over time.

When Alessia and I both stepped onto it, it suddenly collapsed.

Both of us fell into the lake.

The entire crew panicked.

The staff immediately prepared to jump in and rescue us.

But no one expected that the cold-blooded mafia godfather, Enzo, would be the first person to dive into the water.

I couldn’t swim.

When I saw Enzo jump in, I thought he had come for me.

After all, I was his wife.

At that moment, I even worried whether his injured leg would be affected by the cold water.

But when I saw him grab Alessia and start swimming toward the shore with her…

A strange calm settled over me.

There was only one thought in my mind.

So after three years together…

He never loved me.

Everything had only been my imagination.

It was as if Enzo never noticed that I had fallen into the water too.

He carried Alessia into his Maybach and drove away.

The panic in his eyes.

The pain in his expression.

When I sank beneath the surface, the only thing I saw was the back of his car disappearing.

By the time the staff pulled me out, I had already lost consciousness.

I was rushed to the hospital.

The reality show was suspended.

When I woke up, the only person beside me was my agent, Linda.

She looked terrified, her eyes red from crying.

I moved my body slightly and realized I didn’t seem seriously injured.

“Linda, I’m not dead.”

“Knock on wood, knock on wood! You scared me to death, Val! Do you know how unlucky you are? Everyone was focused on Enzo dramatically saving Alessia, and they all forgot about you. Aren’t you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

My heart was strangely calm.

I had foolishly believed that Enzo and I were husband and wife.

That we were one.

Reality finally forced me to see the truth.

I thought…

My relationship with Enzo had ended here.

When I was discharged that afternoon, no one came for me.

Then I saw Enzo.

He was supporting Alessia, and behind them were my parents.

They were smiling.

They looked like a happy family.

Alessia leaned weakly against Enzo.

My parents gently placed a coat over her shoulders.

They looked as if they had completely forgotten about me.

I walked over and greeted them openly.

When I looked at Enzo, the godfather who never showed fear even during violent confrontations, suddenly avoided my eyes.

Everyone looked awkward.

I didn’t care.

Because I wasn’t embarrassed.

I took the signed divorce agreement from my bag and threw it to Enzo.

“Sign it.”
