I glared at him irritably. Was it worth dying over just because he switched to another woman?
The atmosphere fell into a brief silence, and Salvatore stared at me with a strange look.
I turned my head away, feeling uncomfortable all over, especially with his large hand still gripping my waist. “Let go, you brute!”
Every time we meet, he has to touch me!
Unexpectedly, after I spoke out, Salvatore didn’t let go. Instead, he held me tighter and more roughly kneaded my breast.
The already close distance was reduced further, and my lips nearly brushed against Salvatore’s chin. His magnetic Adam’s apple caught my eye, bringing back memories of that night.
His sexy lips neared my ear, “My dear, this isn’t illegal. Besides, your body seems to enjoy the touch, doesn’t it?”
As his hands continued, I felt my lower body respond. No, this must be a reflex, it’s definitely not what I want.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” I shouted at him, my emotions extremely conflicted. I both craved his continued touch and found it shameful.
“Enough, let’s go home. I have a big heart not to hold that night against you. I’m always willing to be patient with you.”
Hearing him say this, I wanted to ask why? We hardly spent any time together, and we’d only slept together once. Could he really be hopelessly in love with me?
“I’m not going back, I have a part–time job!” Although the manager had let me off work, acting on such privilege was unfair! How would I continue to work in this luxury store, and what would my coworkers think?
They would see me as just another rich, bored person trying to steal their jobs and live out some rich person’s fantasy.
I sighed.
While I was distracted, Salvatore grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him, “Why do you demean yourself by working everywhere? Do you enjoy being mistreated?”
His last comment enraged me, “What do you mean I enjoy being mistreated? I need a lot of money! Taking care of my mother requires money, living, revenge, all need money. Do I have a choice?”

Huh? Discussing money, poverty, and life with a godfather who deals in hundreds of thousands just for a business is like degrading myself.
“If that’s the case, why don’t you just be act good and be my wife? I can give you any amount of money!” Salvatore’s tone was serious, as if he was ready to give me everything he owned.
His promise is what many women dream of. Why wouldn’t she want the wealth and status many women envied?
I looked into the godfather’s eyes, and his gaze seemed to say, ‘Come on, appease me, please me, and you’ll have endless money.‘
I felt that look was demeaning me. I sighed lightly. Is money really all I want?
Looking up, Salvatore’s expression was still serious, but I had no patience left to explain,
“Salvatore, we’re just not on the same page. Our worlds are as different as night and day, it’s never possible for us to be together. Let’s just get a divorce. I’ll sign the papers.”
Salvatore went quiet.
I brought up divorce again. Despite the godfather’s wealth and status, I saw no respect in his eyes that a husband should have for his wife. A good husband should not just provide money; he should love, respect, and understand his wife.
my
I need money, but I am not desperate enough to sell my marriage for it. I believe mother wouldn’t want me to either.
In the quiet space, Salvatore’s expression tightened, “You always bring up divorce so casually, people might think I, Salvatore, treat you poorly.”
The reflection of his cold, handsome face in my eyes, I could sense a dark displeasure flickering in his gaze, “I didn’t say you were bad, just that we are not compatible, understand?”
Some distances are like chasms, impossible to cross. How can I explain it so he would understand?
Salvatore fell into thought at my words. In just a moment of his distraction, I quickly slipped out of his embrace.
“Think about it clearly, I’ll get the papers to you soon”
“I hope… you can understand me, respect my decision, okay?” After saying this, I forcefully shut the car door and then took a taxi to leave.
