Love Crumbles on the Wedding Eve

---- Chapter 9 Iknew Simone would come looking for me, but I wasn't expecting it to be this soon. He looked haggard standing outside the door, nothing like the man I left behind. "Zoe, you left me just to marry him? Someone who's more wealthy and powerful?" Simone asked. T scoffed. Staring coldly at the furious man before me, I said, "When it comes to power, I alone outweigh you and that cheap woman put together, Simone." Simone's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's impossible! You're just an ordinary woman!

You'd never have lived the kind of life you had without me." My gaze was filled with disgust. Only after leaving him did I realize that not only was he unfaithful, but his character was rotten to the core. I couldn't be bothered to waste my time on Simone. I signalled the guards to escort him out. He looked at the ten guards advancing toward him and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm the CEO of Pozzi Corp! ---- "CEO?" The guards looked at each other before they burst out laughing. "You're just a small-time boss! Do you know who she is?

She's the Principessa of the Salvatore famiglia, one of the three most powerful mafia famiglia!" "CEO? Please. One word from our Principessa, and your company will disappear overnight." Under Simone's stunned gaze, I quietly returned to the room. "Why? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he screamed from behind me. I stopped walking and chuckled. "I was planning to, on the day you were about to propose to me. But you put that ring on someone else's finger, so it remained a secret. "As for being 'ordinary'... I think I should be saying this to you instead, Simone.

If it wasn't for me, you would've spent the rest of your life as nothing more than an ordinary employee. I continued, "Now get out. If you harass me again, it won't end with only being dragged away like now. Who knows what might happen? An arm, a leg, or a bullet straight through your heart." Simone's hysterical screams echoed down the corridor as he was hauled away. He was truly pathetic, not even half ---- as elegant as Rosario. I thought that Simone would finally back down after my warning. I never expected him to storm straight into the bridal shop while I was dress fitting.

This time, he even dragged a disheveled-looking Jasmina over. I signaled for the guards to stand down. Then, I watched Simone shove her forward as if she were a piece of trash, sending her crushing down at my feet. He grabbed my hand with voice trembling, "I was wrong, Zoe. I was deceived by Jasmina. If I'd known she was just using me, I would never have agreed to marry her! "T've brought the real culprit to you. You can torture her however you like, as long as you calm down, as long as you...

Come back to me." The guards, seeing the vicious look in Simone's gaze, instinctively moved to restrain him. But they could only stand aside because of my earlier order. Thadn't expected him to be this ruthless. I could tell Jasmina had been thoroughly threatened from the way she was trembling and barely daring to speak. ---- I was about to say something when Rosario stepped in front of me, blocking me behind him. "Where did this mad dog come from?" He glared at Simone coldly, fury igniting almost instantly. "Come back to your side?" Rosario let out a cold chuckle.

" Do you think you're worthy? She's the Principessa of the Salvatore famiglia, while you're a small-time boss on the verge of bankruptcy. In terms of status, you're not even qualified to be her subordinate. "In terms of physique, you don't even have abs. And as for looks, you can't even hold a candle against me." I stared at Rosario in surprise. I hadn't expected his tongue to be this sharp, sharp enough to make Simone tremble in fury. Yet somehow, Simone had the nerve to swing his fist straight at Rosario. "This is between the two of us; an outsider like you should stay out of it!

If I hadn't made that foolish mistake, do you really think she would've ever looked at you?"
