The Syndicate's Retribution
By @john1208
I woke up on the cold marble floor of an impossible place: a highly restricted underground bank vault, holding a safety deposit box I had no memory of accessing. Inside was a flash drive of blackmail and a note in my own handwriting. *Happy Anniversary, Tessana. The trap is set.* Hours later, my arrogant husband Bastian handed me pre-drafted divorce papers over our third anniversary dinner, choosing his weeping, manipulative old flame over me. He expected me to break. Instead, my past self’s brilliant, cold-blooded plan snapped into focus. My locked memories flooded back. I signed the papers without a tear, reclaiming my birthright as the hidden heiress of the Volanti fortune and the city’s most terrifying, undefeated corporate lawyer. While Bastian’s empire crumbles under my ruthless, calculated litigation, I am fiercely courted by Renzo Mercara, a lethal mafia boss who treats me like I’m made of spun glass and finds my explosive temper delightful. When Bastian's legal team is utterly annihilated, he desperately tries to hire Porto Leonis's legendary undefeated attorney to save him - only to walk into my penthouse firm and find his discarded wife waiting for him. Will Bastian survive my vengeance, or will my mafia king help me bury his legacy forever?
