Tragic Love

Secret Love

Winning Back the Wife

I've had a crush on Don Luciano Damiani for ten years. Heck, I even agree to his request to sleep with him a thousand times before we finally get to announce our relationship to the world. The locations vary, be it Luciano's private shooting range or the VIP lounge. He uses every trick up his sleeve just to groom me into his personal plaything. Every time we do it, Luciano will kiss me while coaxing the answer out of me. "Do you want our relationship to go public, babe?" I've answered him "yes" 999 times. Of course, he disappoints me 999 times as well. But on the thousandth time, Luciano says, "Cecilia, let's announce our relationship on my birthday, which will be held in two days." Excitement washes over me at that moment. But that's when my best friend, Valentina Fiore, starts a video chat with me. "I lost to Luciano in a racing competition. Yesterday, I had to go to the City Hall to get our marriage registered there. "But he still intends to keep you as his mistress. That's why we shall fight for his affection to the best of our ability on fair grounds. "The next two days shall be our contending period. We'll bet on who matters to Luciano more. The loser will travel to the Republic of Azamir as a war correspondent, whereas the winner gets to attend his birthday party and announce their relationship to the world."

Chapter 1
Cecilia's POVI didn't believe Valentina Fiore, so I quietly took a taxi to tail Luciano Damiani to one of the private clubs they often frequented.I reached the top-floor private room and had just opened the door a sliver when I froze in place.Luciano was down on one knee, his slender fingers holding a diamond ring as he looked up at Valentina."Valentina, do you dare to spend the rest of your life with me?"Valentina smiled, arching an eyebrow. "We've already registered our marriage. What's there to be afraid of?"Before I could push the door wide open, I heard one of Luciano's men tease, "Sir, I have a feeling your point isn't really to see whether Cecilia will choose between love and friendship at your birthday party in two days. You just want to use this bet as an excuse to marry Ms. Fiore, don't you?"Another voice chimed in. "I mean, the engagement ring you gave Ms. Fiore is an eight-figure collector's piece, whereas the one you gave Cecilia was just a cheap piece of jun

Cecilia's POVLate that night, I went back to pack my things.To my surprise, when I opened the door, I saw the shirt I'd bought for Luciano with my scholarship money tossed carelessly on the floor. Lying on top of it were several used condoms stained with white fluid.When we first moved into this apartment, Luciano had held me in his arms and said solemnly, "You always said you're a nightingale without a home. From this moment on, this is our home."But now, he had brought Valentina into our home.As I stood there frozen, the bathroom door opened, and Luciano walked out with a towel loosely wrapped around his waist. Water droplets dripped from his hair down his bare chest, making him look sexy and alluring.If this were before, I would have blushed at this sight. But now, I didn't feel even the slightest flutter in my heart. I simply picked up the shirt from the floor and looked at him."We haven't even broken up yet," I said calmly. "And you're already in such a rush to bring

Cecilia's POV"I've made my decision," I said, my voice firm.Only after my mentor confirmed my name was added to the list did I book my flight and tell Mamma.She was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Stay safe. If anything happens, contact Enzo Genovese. He happens to be stationed there on a peacekeeping mission.""I'll contact him," I replied obediently.After hanging up, I looked up and met Luciano's deep, dark eyes."Which Bastardo are you planning to contact?" he asked.My gaze turned cold as I retorted, "What does it have to do with you?"As far as he could remember, I'd always been sweet and meek. Even when he exhausted me until daybreak, I would only timidly ask, "Can we continue this tomorrow?"But now, I was cold and sharp-tongued, like a cat that had had its tail stepped on.For once, this seemed to amuse Luciano, and he pulled me into his arms."Don't be mad. Even if I'm married to Valentina, there's still a place for you by my side.""What place?"

Cecilia's POVThe basement walls were lined with various sexual implements.My eyes bulged wide as I struggled desperately. "Let go of me! Luciano won't let you get away with this!"Matteo responded with several harsh slaps, then grinned cruelly as he grabbed my chin. "Luciano already gave you to me to play with, and you're still delusional enough to think he'll come back to save you?"My cheeks swelled up from his slaps, and blood flowed nonstop from the corner of my lips."What do you want? La polizia will be here soon!""You dared to call La polizia?"He turned and grabbed a thick leather whip from the wall. A lash landed on my body, and the pain wrenched an agonizing scream from me.But this only excited him more."Go on, scream! Cry! So what if La polizia comes? You'll already be broken!"The whip struck again and again, and my high-pitched screams eventually went silent—I could no longer muster any sounds.Matteo ripped my blood-stained dress apart. Just as he was abou

Luciano's POVOnce Valentina was no longer in critical danger, I planned to go see Cecilia. As I walked down the hallway, I overheard two nurses talking in hushed voices."That young lady who donated blood in the ER… She gave so much that she could barely even stand when they were done. We had to help her walk out…""The poor thing."My footsteps faltered. The image of Cecilia—standing at the end of the hallway, framed by light and giving me a small smile—flashed in my mind.She had said, "Luciano… Addio."At the time, all I could think about was Valentina lying in the ER. Now, thinking back, that image was so vivid that it made my heart race with anxiety.Just as I was about to continue down the hallway, Valentina's frail voice came from behind me."Don't go."She was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed out by a nurse. Her usually bright, radiant face showed a rare trace of fragility.I paused for two seconds, then walked back to her side. I took her ice-cold hand and pres

Luciano's POVSuddenly, my own voice blasted through the speakers, reaching every corner of the hall clearly."She's just a maid's bastard daughter. Keeping her as an Amante Clandestina on the side to play with is more than enough."A deathly silence fell across the room.The audio didn't stop there. It switched to a different recording with two female voices.Valentina spoke first. "So let's have a fair competition. The time limit is two days, and the bet is on who matters to him the most. The loser goes to the Republic of Azamir as a war correspondent."Then came a soft reply. "Bene."The audio ended, and images immediately followed. Photos of Cecilia and me being lovey-dovey as well as screenshots of chat logs—all dated long before Valentina and I got married.Finally, it switched to a recording from Cecilia, her voice cold and emotionless."Mr. Damiani, Ms. Fiore. I wish you both happiness."The silence continued for a few seconds more before the entire hall erupted."So

Luciano's POV"Luciano! Where are you going? Come back!" Valentina screamed behind me hysterically, but she was quickly drowned out by the surge of reporters and rising chaos.I rushed out of the banquet hall, my first thought being to return to the penthouse.When I arrived and pushed the door open, a cold, empty silence greeted me. Every trace of Cecilia had vanished completely.I leaned against the cold wall and slid to the floor, suddenly remembering something from a long time ago. To help me sleep, she had once told me a bedtime story.In the story, a king had imprisoned a nightingale in a cage, making it sing every night until it died.Back then, she had said softly, "If I were that nightingale, I wouldn't just wait around until I died. I'd find a way to open the cage and fly away myself."I'd brushed it off then, telling her that she was my nightingale, and that she could forget about ever flying away in this lifetime.But my nightingale had flown away. She didn't want m

Luciano's POVThe apartment door was shoved open.Several polizia stormed in and headed straight for Valentina, flashing badges and an arrest warrant."Valentina Fiore, you are under suspicion of conspiring with Matteo Barbieri in the intentional injury and unlawful detention of Cecilia Rossetti, as well as spreading false information online, fabricating facts, and malicious defamation."You are hereby placed under arrest."My eyes widened as I looked at Valentina. "You're the one who posted the photos online?"Cecilia had called me last time to say it wasn't her. But I had been convinced she had staged the whole thing herself, and I'd even used the Famiglia's influence to permanently silence her online.I then publicly declared Valentina as my only legitimate partner and branded the whole situation as "self-orchestrated" by Cecilia, nailing her to a pillar of shame.I even said to her afterward, "You've been criticized since you were a child. You're used to it. One more time w

Chapter 9
Luciano's POVThe smell of disinfectant filled my nose. I forced my eyes open and met the doctor's grave expression."Mr. Damiani, your legs were severely crushed in the car accident. To save your life, we had no choice but to perform an amputation…"Amputation? My legs… were gone?I lay there on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The phantom pain from my lower body—pain from something that no longer existed—was vivid, gnawing at me in waves.So this was how much it hurt.When Cecilia was whipped by Matteo, then forced to donate blood… Did it hurt like this, too? Or was it even worse? Because the pain I'd given her had been mixed with betrayal and heartbreak as well.Suddenly, I started struggling violently. I ripped the IV needle out of the back of my hand and, amid the nurse's startled cries, crashed heavily off the hospital bed.Propping myself up with my arms, I dragged my numb lower body and crawled, inch by inch, out of the room.No one dared to stop me.

Chapter 10
Cecilia's POVSeven months later, I returned home on the chartered flight carrying Enzo Genovese's remains.He had died in Kovana, where a stray bullet had pierced through his left chest.Dressed in black, I brushed my hand that was wearing the ring across the coffin as silent tears streamed down my face. I gently rested my forehead against the cold surface and whispered in a voice only the two of us could hear."Next lifetime, remember to come find me sooner."That moment was captured on camera and quickly made headlines. By that evening, the front pages of all major news websites featured the same photo—a woman in a black dress, forehead pressed against the coffin, tears falling silently.The headline read, "War Correspondent Escorts Coffin of Fallen Soldier".Luciano saw the news on his phone and knew that I had returned.As I left the cemetery, a black Maybach blocked my path. The car door opened, and Luciano was pushed out in a wheelchair.His eyes were bloodshot, his voi
