LOGINAfter losing my unborn baby, I finally rid myself of every habit Matteo Cassano hated. He spent entire nights with Seraphina. I stopped calling. He didn’t go home for several days, I stopped waiting. Even when I fractured my leg in a car crash, I simply told the doctor, "Don’t let him know." Yet, Matteo began to feel uncomfortable with my changes. He hated my composure, asking why I had turned so indifferent. I never told him that I had already filed for divorce, and accepted the invitation to a top-secret medical research project in Zurich. In seven days, I would cut off all communication with the outside world completely. Matteo assumed I was merely throwing a fit. He was confident that I would return to him sooner or later, just as I had countless times before. When the divorce decree arrived at the Cassano Manor, he finally realized I had taken everything with me and canceled all my contact info. The woman who once wept for him if he was even an hour late coming home would never look back at him again.
View MoreInside the grand auditorium of the Swiss Federal Medical School, the spotlights were bright and dazzling."Next, please welcome the winner of this year's Highest Contribution Award in International Neurogenetics—Dr. Callista, to the stage to receive her award!"Applause surged like a tide.Dressed in a sleek white suit, I walked onto the podium with firm, steady steps.Ten years of closed research life had washed away all the weakness and brokenness within me.My leg had long since healed, and I no longer needed crutches.A sense of confidence and determination shone in my eyes once more.Every day and night spent in the laboratory gave me a long-lost sense of fulfillment and dignity.I was no longer anyone's appendage, no longer a weakling who begged desperately for love.I was Dr. Callista.In the field I loved, I had finally reclaimed the value that belonged to me.I would still occasionally think of my unborn baby, but I believed she would be proud of who I was today as well.When
To find Callista, Matteo made a decision that shocked everyone.He laid down all gang affairs and did not hesitate to yield the supreme power of the Cassano family's "Don."He knew better than anyone what the consequences of doing so would be.The family elders would be furious, his rivals would be eager to move, and his position would be in jeopardy.Yet he didn't care at all.The power, money, and status that had once intoxicated him all turned into meaningless trash the moment he lost his true love.He drew upon all the top connections he had accumulated in the past and spent three whole years until he finally gathered a faint whisper of information from a top Swiss politician:Callista had entered a top-secret, closed national-level camp deep in the snow-capped mountains of Zurich.The place was heavily guarded, completely inaccessible to the outside world.Until the project ended, no one was allowed to establish even a single thread of contact with the outside.Matteo did not forc
When Matteo received the audio file, he was sitting in the study of the Cassano Manor.Seraphina sat opposite him, her knees wrapped in thick bandages, with tears of grievance in the corners of her eyes."...Callista is truly too heartless."She sobbed, her voice delicate and pitiful."I just wanted to persuade her. Not only did she ignore me, but she also spoke so harshly to me! She even said she was the one who poisoned that Donna brooch, and... and asked why I hadn't been poisoned to death yet! ... Why does she hate me so much..."Sitting in his high-backed leather chair, Matteo's eyes drifted into the distance, not hearing a word she said.His palm pressed firmly against an express delivery envelope on the desk, which had just arrived from the court via registered mail.It was his and Callista's divorce decree.Word by word, stamped with a vivid red seal, it completely severed their seven-year marriage.He felt an unprecedented panic spread frantically deep inside his chest.It fel
I got up early the next morning.Ignoring the attending physician's advice, I checked out of the hospital ahead of schedule.Just as I returned to the ward to pack up my personal belongings, Seraphina pushed open the door to my room."Callista, why haven't you gotten lost yet?"Seraphina glanced left and right, then firmly shut the door after confirming no one was nearby.She wore a smug, malicious sneer on her face, with none of the delicate, pitiful disguise she put on in front of Matteo.Her complexion looked even better than mine, showing no sign of someone who had just undergone emergency resuscitation for poisoning last night.If Matteo saw her like this with his own eyes, his jaw would probably drop."Did you really think I was poisoned yesterday?"She walked over to my hospital bed, her eyes filled with dark twists."I drank that tiny bit of toxin myself. Because I knew the very first person Matteo would suspect was you."Receiving no reaction from me, she bent down and whisper
