Baby Bump vs Bomb: Watching Him Go Mad

Hatred surged in my chest as I looked at Ana's face. My body wouldn't stop trembling from the intense emotions in my chest.

However, Ana thought that I was trembling because of guilt.

She had initially been somewhat frightened by my bloodied appearance. But now, spoke with righteous indignation and said, "Stop pretending to be hurt, Sirena Cabrera.

"Mr. Lopez is now accompanying Reina and specifically said that nobody is to disturb them. He told me to pass on this message to you.

"'Enough is enough. Stop making things too ugly for yourself.'

"He said that he never wanted to be so heartless toward you in the first place, but you were always so jealous and making a huge fuss, and even pretending to be gravely hurt. What is your child going to think when he grows up and learns what a hysterical woman his mother really is after all?"

When Ana finished speaking, Don's face was filled with murderous intent. Yet, Ana was still oblivious as to who he really was.

She even pointed at Don, who hadn't had time to change out of his bloodied clothes, and jeered, "And who is this filthy man, Sirena?

"Did you think that your pitiful act wasn't going to work anymore, so you thought of finding a random beggar on the street to make Fabio angry? You really have such terrible taste.

"What do you think is going to happen if I told Fabio that you were rolling in the sheets with this beggar, even while pregnant? Do you think he's going to chop you up and feed you to the dogs? Or, do you think that he's going to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?"

Then, Ana began laughing loudly like a maniac, thinking that she had seen through my act.

After all, Don was now bloodied and disheveled, and she never thought to associate him with the important figure she imagined him to be.

That was why she assumed that the highly feared and respected Don was none other than my affair partner!

A cold snort interrupted her laughter.

Two Soldati immediately stepped forward and pinned Ana to the ground. It wasn't until the cold barrel of the gun was pressed against her forehead that she realized she had offended someone she could never have afforded.

Just as she was about to plead for mercy, the gun was slapped harshly against her mouth, and she was dragged out of the ward.

"Break her legs and lock her up. Take a photo and send it to Fabio," Don said, his voice as cold as ice. "Tell him to come here himself. I'd love to see just how important his matter is for him to abandon Ms. Cabrera without a care in the world!"

I immediately noticed how Don was referring to me now.

I was no longer "El Capo Lopez's wife", but "Ms. Cabrera" now instead.

This was the outcome that I wanted.

The lines were now clearly drawn in Don's eyes. I was his savior, and Fabio was merely a traitor about to be dealt with.

It had been an extremely risky move, but in the end, it finally paid off.

I was wheeled into the operating theater.

After regaining my consciousness, the nurse by my bed carefully helped me sit up.

"Ms. Cabrero, the attack on Don has alarmed all the Famiglia's top brass, and he has already returned to the headquarters to handle things," she said in a low voice.

"Before he left, he specifically gave orders for you to stay here and recover in peace. He said that he would personally come back to see you once he settled all his matters."

I nodded.

According to my memories from my past life, the attack on Don had indeed caused a huge upheaval in the underworld. All Famiglias involved in the attack had then been thoroughly wiped out.

Fabio was only then promoted to Underboss after the dust had settled.

Seeing that Don had so many things to attend to, it was quite rare for him to still have time to think about me.

All I had to do now was wait patiently.

Now that I had calmed down, I was just about to speak when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Before I could even see who it was, a tight slap landed on my cheek.

It was Fabio.

His expression was dark as he glared at me with an icy, steely stare.

"You're such an evil witch, Sirena Cabrera! How dare you lay a finger on Ana just because you wanted to see me!

"Do you know how hard Reina cried when she saw that Ana's legs were broken? How did you ever turn out like this? I really regret making you my wife!"

My face was still stinging from the slap. I looked up at him and said calmly, "Really? Then let's get a divorce."

I sniffled and fought to keep my tears at bay.

I had been suppressing those words in my chest for a very long time.

At first, I thought of only saying it to him after Don had punished him. But now, I couldn't hold back anymore.

The pain from my past life and humiliation now was more than I could bear. They overlapped each other, the pain and agony weighing heavily on my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.

Obviously, Fabio never expected me to bring up divorce with him at all. He stared at me, his arrogant expression wavering for just a second.

While I was trying to gauge his reaction, Reina appeared.

She purposely pulled her collar lower to show off the love bite on her collarbones.

Clearly, even an attack on the Don that shocked the entire underworld hadn't managed to dampen their spirits one bit.

As long as she was there, Fabio could no longer look at anyone else.

He lovingly wrapped an arm around Reina's waist, the hand that had slapped me so harshly and cruelly earlier now being extremely tender and gentle with her.

"What are you doing here? The hospital is full of germs. You should be waiting for me at home."

Reina's eyes were slightly red as she shook her head, saying, "Home is too cold without you there, Fabio. I just wanted to see you as quickly as possible.

"But I heard you guys quarreling before I even came in. Was it because of me? If I caused any of you any trouble, then I can leave the Famiglia at once.

"I just want both of you to be happy. It's fine if I suffer just a little."

Then, tears began rolling down her cheeks.

Fabio felt extremely sorry for her and tried comforting her.

"It was Sirena who went overboard this time. A lunatic like her does not deserve to be my wife or a mother.

"When the baby is born, I will immediately strip her of her parenting rights. I'll only feel at ease if my child is raised by you instead."
