Book 1 The Rise Of The Mafia
Princess
When Hart was about to break my fingers, every cell in my body was struggling in resistance.
“Waimea was the one who pushed my belly first. I only pushed her to protect the baby!”
I desperately tried to explain, hoping that he would reconsider for the sake of the child inside me.
But my explanation only made him angrier.
“The baby is not an excuse for you to shirk responsibility. You were just looking for trouble, being jealous, and targeting her on purpose! Do you know that when you pushed her to the ground, her hand broke on the

spot? Those hands are made for playing the piano!”
Hart glared at me with a face as dark as thunder, as if I weren’t his wife, but a criminal beyond redemption.
“Carola, when you make a mistake, you have to pay for it. You caused Waimea’s hand to break, so I’ll break three of your fingers to make up for it.”
With those words, he gestured for two bodyguards to step forward and hold me down.
One of them yanked my right hand out forcefully and pressed it onto the stone slab.
With tears in my eyes, I screamed, “Hart, I’m still carrying your child! How could you do this to me!”

Hart ignored me, raising a hammer high above his head without even glancing at me. With a tight jaw, he swung it down forcefully toward my fingers.
“Ah!”
The excruciating pain was unbearable, and I screamed, my vision spinning until I passed out from the pain.
Before I completely lost consciousness, I vaguely saw Waimea stepping out of a luxury car, running toward Hart and throwing herself into his arms.
“Hart, I already said I wouldn’t hold it against her, so why are you still doing this? What if something happens to the baby?”
Hart’s tone softened, a stark contrast to how

he spoke to me. He gently stokeked her head, his voice full of tendernessss.
“It’s okay, the baby’s not more impoportant than you.”
I smiled bitterly to myself, then everythything went dark.
When I woke up again, I was in a hospitatal.
My broken fingers were wrapped in in bandages. Despite the medication, even thehe slightest movement made me break out in in cold sweat from the pain.
I couldn’t help but gasp, and the baby insidede me seemed to respond, suddenly kickingng twice in quick succession.
I quickly whispered in reassurance, “It’s okay, y don’t be afraid, baby. Mommy is fine…”

Though I spoke the words, tears flowed uncontrollably.
I couldn’t understand how Hart could be so heartless toward me.
It wasn’t always like this.
In the beginning, everything was perfect.
At that time, Waimea was studying abroad, and Hart and I met through work. We instantly fell in love with each other.
From falling in love to getting married, it only took us six months.
He told me he had once been a firm believer in never marrying, but meeting me made him want to spend the rest of his life with someone for the first time.

Even after our marriage, he often held me close, whispering touching and heartfelt words.
“Honey, because of you, the word ‘happiness‘ became real in my heart. It’s not that marriage is great, but that having you is what’s truly wonderful.”
He said I was the only one in his life, and he would love and cherish me forever.
Under his tender care, I soon became pregnant.
When I shared the news, he was so excited that he picked me up and spun me around.
When he finally set me down, I noticed that his eyes were misty. A wave of emotion swept through me.

“Having a baby is a good thing, so why are you crying?”
What did Hart say then?
He said, “Honey, this child has completed my life. Thank you. From now on, I will protect you both with my life!”
At that time, I was completely immersed in his sweet words, convinced I would become the happiest woman in the world.
But unexpectedly, when the baby was five months old, Waimea’s sudden return sent my life plummeting from the clouds.
