The PTA Meeting That Ended Us

Carmela Romano's marriage to mafia boss Enzo Moretti began as a spectacle the world envied: fireworks, a million roses, a ten-carat ring. But when a rival gang rams her car, she loses the baby she conceived after years of IVF and hormone injections. Bleeding and alone, she calls Enzo sixty-six times; he finally texts that he is at a parent-teacher meeting for Luca Vitale, the son of his childhood sweetheart Bianca Rossi.

Rescued by a patrolling officer and taken to Central City Hospital, Carmela asks Enzo for a divorce. He refuses to believe the baby is gone, insisting his man Dante saw her at home and that the hospital admitted no such patient. Bianca calls to suggest Carmela is using her child as a pawn, and Enzo accuses her of lying for attention.

As Bianca posts a photo of the three of them together, Carmela sends the signed divorce agreement to Enzo's office. He mistakes it for a gift and never opens it, while the Tattaglia family's threat still hangs over her.
