Chapter 8

Author: Unsweetened Coffee
Susanna's POV

It wasn't until two years later that I learned the Gallo family had gone through a major upheaval, and that Elena had died from a severe hemorrhage.

Nonetheless, all that had nothing to do with me anymore. I had my own life to focus on.

Pushing open the wooden door that led to the courtyard, I watered the plants, then relaxed on a lounge chair to take in the view.

This was a welfare home hidden deep in a jungle.

After graduating from university, I completed the secret medica

    Susanna's POVWith that, Giovanni left the room.I returned to my seat by the bed, staring at the journal in a daze. After a long moment of hesitation, I finally opened it to the first page.…January 17"This journal is the first present Susanna ever gave me. I'm so happy! I promise I'll treat her well for the rest of our lives! If I ever do anything to hurt her, then let me be punished!"…I had to admit, Lorenzo kept his word. Every page after that first entry recorded his deep love for me. It ranged from simple gestures like giving me a rose, to grand ones like lighting up the sky with fireworks. He treated me like the most precious treasure in the world and spoiled me so much that everyone was envious.At that time, both of us had been sure that the other was the person we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with.However, our love story took an abrupt turn one day.…July 24"I'm about to do something that will brand me a bastard. But I can't die just yet. I still w

    Susanna's POVIn no time at all, Lorenzo and I were airlifted to the nearest hospital. We had barely landed when Lorenzo was whisked away by a team of medical staff to the operating room.My hand moved on autopilot, signing every form they handed me. With every passing second, my head grew hazier.At last, after the doctor finished speaking, I couldn't hold on anymore. My eyes rolled into the back of my head as I fainted."Get a stretcher! She's fainted!"…When I woke up, a day had already passed.A nurse told me that Lorenzo's surgery had been successful and that he'd been moved to a regular room. However, he was in a coma from overexhaustion, extensive blood loss, and a preexisting condition flaring up. No one knew when—or if—he would wake.My heart sank at the news. Memories of all the times he had saved me replayed in my mind, and before I knew it, I was heading for his room.The moment I pushed the door to his room open, the eye-watering scent of disinfectant assaulted m

I had my own life to focus on.Pushing open the wooden door that led to the courtyard, I watered the plants, then relaxed on a lounge chair to take in the view. This was a welfare home hidden deep in a jungle. After graduating from university, I completed the secret medical research that should have taken me ten years in just two. After that, I came here to work as a doctor. I was certain nobody would expect me to be in such a place.I had barely returned to the break room when the sky suddenly darkened, unleashing a torrent of rain upon the world.Just then, someone pounded on the door. "Susanna, come out, quickly! Something's happened to one of the children!"I yanked the door open and dashed out into the rain."Who is it? Where did they go?"The weather h

    Lorenzo's POVCrimson slowly spread across Elena's dress as her lower body began bleeding.Don Giovanni hurriedly got to his feet, eyes locked on Elena helplessly. He commanded in a shaky tone, "Where's the doctor? Get her to the bed, now! Move faster!"There was a flurry of activity before Elena was whisked away to the hospital.I remained in the same spot and coldly watched everything happen, not moving at all.Don Giovanni slapped me across the face. "That's your baby she's carrying! At the very least, go to the hospital for the sake of that child!"At first, I refused to go, but then I suddenly realized that if Elena lost the baby, I would continue to be held here against my will. I would, once again, be forced to have sex with Elena until she was pregnant with another son.The very thought of that utterly repulsed me, so I had no choice but to head to the hospital.I was about to open the door to her room when two voices reached my ears—Elena and her mother, Anna Ricci."

  • Another Bride Got My Promised Wedding   Chapter 6

    Lorenzo's POVWithin the span of one night, rumors were spreading across the entire city of Sirano about the joke that was the Gallo family's wedding.The ceremony was barely over, the guests not even having time to leave for the ball when the groom abandoned the bride and ran off, never to reappear. The next day, I insisted on kicking Elena out of my home. I smashed everything that I could get my hands on, leaving the house a mess. The countless shattered pieces were reminiscent of the state of my own broken heart.Don Giovanni was expressionless as usual, while a pregnant Elena stood beside him. Our daughter was crying as she hid behind Elena, not daring to make a sound.I pressed the knife I held against my wrist harder, the sharp blade biting into my skin."Move out of the way! I want to go look for Susanna! Otherwise, I'm dragging all of you down to hell with me!"I had read Susanna's letter countless times, yet I still refused to believe that she would choose to give up o

  • Another Bride Got My Promised Wedding   Chapter 5

    Lorenzo's POV"Someplace I'll never find?"A bubble of laughter left my lips, but it was filled with self-mockery. This situation was just too ridiculous!Susanna had promised that she would wait for me, so she'd definitely wait. She wasn't the sort of person who went back on her words!She clearly loved me deeply. After all, for my sake, she had conceded time and again, even agreeing to let me sleep with another woman to produce an heir. If she really had any intentions of leaving, she would've left the moment I gave in to Don Giovanni's demand and told her that I needed to sleep with Elena to have a son. She certainly wouldn't have chosen to stay by my side and wait for me all these years!"Why did you force her to leave?" I screamed at Don Giovanni, my fury echoing in the empty house. "I'd already agreed to all of your demands! I slept with Elena to produce an heir and gave her a wedding! Why did you still chase her away when I've already done what I promised?"Don Giovanni
