LOGINI am Novella Fontana. My sister-in-law, Carla Rossi, and I check into a resort owned by our family, intending to have a quiet vacation there. But while we are at the ski resort, a lavishly dressed woman shows up out of nowhere and sneers at us, "This is a high-end ski resort. How can you let some random nobodies get in here? Where are the guards? Throw them out before they bring in germs from outside." Upon hearing this, my expression turns frosty. Before I can say anything, Carla beats me to it. She snaps, "It's not like your family owns this place. What right do you have to kick us out? If you think we're an eyesore, go build your own ski resort!" The woman's face darkens instantly. She shrieks angrily, "How dare you speak to me like that! This is my fiancé's property! Do you have any idea? When Aldo Rossi gets here, you two are done for!" Carla and I exchange a glance, and we both see the same confusion in each other's eyes. It is because I am Aldo's wife. But before we can react, that woman lifts her chin impatiently and orders, "Roberto, teach them a lesson." In the next second, Carla and I are pressed down forcefully into the snow.

She received a three-year prison sentence.Laura, who had once embodied beauty and pride, entered the prison in a uniform, and all traces of her old arrogance had disappeared.Carla and I didn't go to visit. We simply didn't have the time.

Aldo was completely pushed aside after being stripped of his leadership position in the Rossi family.At the same time, Marco lost all the privileges and influence he had gained through his engagement to Carla, and the villa he
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, painting the room in a soft glow. Carla was finally able to sit up, and her complexion had improved slightly. Just as I poured her a glass of water, the door opened, and two bodyguards stepped in."Donna Rossi, someone's lurking in the hallway, keeping an eye on us," one of them said.I set down the cup. "Bring her in."A moment later, Laura was escorted into the room. She wore a bright pink dress and carried herself like she was stepping onto a stage. As soon as she saw me, she put on a bright smile. "Oh, I was just in the area and thought I'd see how you're doing—"The bodyguard gripped her shoulder. "Hold still."Laura shifted slightly but didn't struggle. She dropped the act and tilted her head, lazily looking at us. "Fine, that day was my fault. I already said I was sorry."She cast a glance at Carla in the hospital bed, and a faint, smug smile played across her face."You nearly killed Carla," I said.Laura shrug
I sat in the hospital room chair, staring at my alternate phone. In the end, I dialed Aldo's number. I needed answers.After three rings, someone picked up. Laura's lazy voice came through. "Aldo is in the shower. Who's this?"My fingers tightened around the phone. "Put Aldo on the line," I demanded.Laura recognized my voice and let out a soft laugh. "He's busy right now. We're going over plans for my birthday next month," she said. She paused, then added smugly, "Did you know that Aldo and Marco are running everything themselves? They don't have time to deal with people like you."I said nothing and pressed the record button. On the other end, Laura raised her voice deliberately, as if speaking to someone beside her. "Aldo, Marco, do you want to calm those two down? They're at the hospital, you know."I heard Aldo's distant, indifferent voice. "No need. She's only mentioning divorce out of anger. In a couple of days, it will pass."Then Marco's casual voice followed, as i
I ignored him and pushed open the hospital room door. Carla was still asleep. About 20 minutes later, her fingers twitched."Novella…" she called out weakly.I leaned closer. "I'm here. You're safe now. The doctors said you're out of danger."She opened her eyes slowly, and I could see the redness lining them. Just then, the hospital room door swung open. Aldo walked in, with Marco following behind him.Aldo looked at me and said, "This ends here."I lifted my head to meet his eyes. He paused for a moment, then added, "Laura only acted on impulse. She didn't know who you were. She didn't mean any of it."I stood and reached into my coat pocket for my phone. "She sent her men to hold Carla down in the snow, kick her, and prevent her from taking her medicine. She nearly killed her. I'm calling the police right now. This is assault."I looked down and unlocked my phone. Just as I pressed the first number, he reached out and snatched it right from my hand.Aldo held my phone in h
