After Breaking Up with the Mafia Don, All My Resources Were Stolen Chapter 13

After Breaking Up with the Mafia Don, All My Resources Were Stolen Chapter 13

Without any more obstruction, my road through Hollywood finally became smooth.

The next year, I stood on the awards stage again.

I thanked my talent agency, the director, and many, many people.

I thanked them for giving me opportunities over the past ten years so that I could stand here today.

Some people applauded.

Some had tears in their eyes.

I lifted my gaze toward the first row.

Enzo was not there.

Before tonight, the organizers had repeatedly tried to ask Coco, directly and indirectly, whether Enzo would be willing to attend.

Coco muddled through all of it by playing dumb.

In truth, she had come to ask me.

But I said, “Enzo and I probably won’t be in touch anymore.”

There were Family responsibilities on his shoulders, and I was no longer the reckless young woman I had once been.

The courage to risk everything for love had gradually disappeared with age and experience.

It was just that today happened to be an especially coincidental day.

It was the tenth anniversary of the day Enzo and I met.

Ten years ago, we met and fell in love.

Ten years later, we lay in each other’s contact lists, yet we would never contact each other again.

When I stepped down from the stage, someone brought over a bouquet.

There was a card attached to it, written with one line and no signature.

[You will have many years of starlight.]

Ten years.

It was Enzo.

He also remembered that today was the tenth anniversary of the day we met.

As if sensing something, I suddenly lifted my head and looked toward the last row.

In a corner where the light could not reach, Enzo was sitting there.

The moment I looked over, he looked back.

Across row after row of people, we exchanged a smile from afar.

By now, Enzo should have also made peace with that old relationship.

And even if he had not, he would no longer ask me to return to him.

Now, he only wanted me to fly farther.

And I would move forward more fearlessly than ever.
