My Departure Made the Don Kneel

My name is Isabella Wright.

In my fifth year of marriage to the Don of a powerful mafia family, I find out that the protection charm he gave me causes me headaches whenever I bring it with me.

I take out the sachet I find in the charm and bring it to Cursley Hospital. The doctor inspects the sachet and tells me that it contains a type of slow-acting poison that doesn't just cause harm to the victim's body but also renders them infertile after a while.

I cry and exclaim, "But that's impossible! My husband gave this to me! His name is Vincenzo Cursley. He's also the person who owns this hospital!"

The doctor looks at me in confusion. "Miss, I think you need to visit the psychiatrist. I know Mr. Cursley and his wife. They're very close and intimate with each other. Also, Mrs. Cursley just gave birth to a baby boy not too long ago. They're both now in the VIP ward, looking at their baby."

Then, the doctor shows me a photo on his phone.

Vincenzo was wearing his usual black suit with the Cursley family emblem embroidered on it. He was holding a baby in his arms, and as for the woman standing next to him…

I know her. Her name is Claudia Henderson.

And Vincenzo has always referred to her as his adoptive sister.

[Isabella's POV]

After coming out of the doctor's office, I immediately rushed into the elevator and went all the way to the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital. I needed Vincenzo Cursley to explain himself to me.

Just as the elevator doors closed before me, I suddenly heard two very familiar voices speak up right next to me.

It was windy today, and I'd put on an extra coat over my usual clothes. I'd also put on a cap, so the people next to me didn't realize who I was.

"Vincenzo, aren't you worried that Isabella will find out one day? Why did you have to beg her to come back last time? If you'd married Claudia earlier, you wouldn't have to be so careful every time you come out to visit your son at the hospital."

That was Fabian Granger's voice. He had known Vincenzo since they were kids.

Vincenzo replied in a cold voice, "She won't ever find out. Fabian, you should know to keep your mouth shut when you see Isabella. Don't you dare run your mouth when you see her."

"I really don't understand what's going on in your head," Fabian replied with another chuckle. "Claudia has been living at your place since she was five, and you both were set to marry each other after coming of age.

"You used to be so fond of her when you were younger. Yet, you let yourself get smitten by Isabella as soon as you got older. You even sent Claudia away for Isabella's sake. But later, you did everything you could to get Claudia
