A Genius Once Fell into the Don’s Orbit Chapter 03
Being a wealthy housewife was actually quite boring.
So one day, when I went to the Ricci family headquarters to deliver documents to Enzo, a short drama director
noticed me.
He asked if I wanted to try playing the third female lead in his series.
The character was an academic genius, and it suited my personality perfectly.
Almost as if driven by impulse, I agreed.
Thankfully, Enzo didn’t object.
What I never expected was that the short drama would
become an instant hit.
Even as the third female lead, I gained my own group of
fans.
I found the whole experience refreshing,
I had never imagined myself stepping into Hollywood, a
world that seemed completely unrelated to me.
The Ricci family controlled countless industries,
Naturally, they had also entered the media business.
After all, influence over the media was something they
couldn’t afford to lose.
Venezia Entertainment, the company under their media
division, was only a very small part of their empire.
Enzo told me that as long as I didn’t use the Ricci family
name outside, I could do whatever I wanted.
So, little by little, I got an agent named Linda.
I also had a personal assistant.
I even landed supporting roles in several major
productions.
I became a minor actress.
Sometimes, I would scroll through social media and find
the whole thing incredibly interesting.
Lying in bed, I laughed while reading my
to Enzo.
fans’ comments
At the same time, one hand continued massaging his leg.
Laughing so hard that I lost control, I accidentally pressed
a sensitive spot,
Enzo let out a low groan,
I thought I had hurt him, so I quickly tossed my phone
aside to check.
But instead, Enzo pulled me down onto the bed.
The kiss happened naturally.
And everything afterward followed effortlessly.
We became more and more in sync, and we both found
happiness in it.
From that moment on, our relationship changed
completely.
He started bringing me the little cakes I loved.
He bought me outrageously expensive dresses and jewelry
from auctions.
And sometimes…
we would secretly sneak out together.
We watched movies, took walks, and had dinner like
ordinary couples.
We were just like any other married couple.
At the same time, Enzo’s leg continued to improve because
of my massages,
Even the family doctor called it a miracle,
Now, unless he walked too fast, no one could tell he had
ever been injured,
In the third year of our marriage, Alessia came back.
The day she returned, Enzo unusually didn’t stay by my
side,
During those three years, my parents had rarely contacted
me,
Yet this time, they actually called and asked Enzo and me
to come over for dinner.
Alessia had been gone for three years.
She had never returned even once during that time.
The only exception was the Christmas gathering where
both families met.
Even then, the Hawthorne couple would awkwardly
explain that Alessia was busy with her studies.
When faced with the sudden invitation, Enzo remained
silent, his expression cold.
I had no idea what he was thinking.
After all, their biological daughter hadn’t returned to the
Hawthorne family home even once since she married.
But the benefits and favors he owed the Hawthorne family
had never stopped.
Eventually, he agreed to go,
When Enzo and I stepped into the Hawthorne family
estate, a graceful young woman rushed into his arms like a
breeze.
I stood beside them and watched.
Enzo didn’t push Alessia away.
Three years had changed her.
She had become more mature.
But she still acted like a spoiled little girl, holding onto
Enzo’s sleeve as tears fell from her eyes and soaked his suit.
My heart felt like it had been stabbed repeatedly.
I regretted agreeing to return to the Hawthorne family.
Seeing me standing beside them, Alessia straightened up.
“Sorry, little sister. I was just too happy. Enzo… oh, wait. Should I call you brother-in-law now?”
Enzo’s expression remained cold as he took my hand and
led me to our seats.
Alessia stared at us, her eyes filled with shock.
Dinner was miserable.
Not a single person in the Hawthorne family asked how 1 had been doing.
Instead, they desperately tried to get Alessia and Enzo to talk.
They kept saying how Alessia had always missed her
childhood sweetheart.
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
Were my parents trying to set Alessia and Enzo up right in
front of me?
