Converting Love to Riches Chapter 13
Aurora's POVThe morning mist in this town always lifted slowly.I pushed open the wooden window on the second floor of the bookstore, and air tinged with the scent of grass rushed in.In this damp weather, my leg would ache a little more sharply. But it was still within what I could bear.From downstairs came the sounds of Nicolai arranging books, along with country music drifting from the old radio.It felt as though my life had been set to slow motion, every frame clear yet utterly mundane. I had long since put Leonardo's visit and the journal he had returned out of my mind. The journal, too, remained unopened.There was no need to keep looking back at certain parts of the past.While the town lacked first-rate medical facilities, there was a doctor who vacationed here from the city now and then. Under his care, I practiced walking slowly, much like a toddler just learning to take their first steps.Nicolai was always there quietly by my side, handing me a glass of warm wate
Converting Love to Riches Chapter 12
Aurora's POV"That doesn't count! I didn't sign the divorce papers! Aurora, you are my wife and the Donna of the Bianchi family! That will never change!"Leonardo finally lost control of his emotions, revealing his typical domineering and obsessive nature."Come back with me! I'll agree to any condition you want—any except leaving me!""Any except leaving you?" I chuckled softly and lifted my head to meet his eyes. "Leonardo, have you forgotten you already used up all 100 of the forgiveness credits long ago?"And I even deliberately gave you two extra chances!" I forcefully pried his fingers away, one by one. "We're even. Now, please, stop bothering me!""No, we're not!" Leonardo growled, his eyes burning red. "I'll spend the rest of my life repaying what I owe you! You can't just sentence me to death like this! Aurora, look at me. Not a single day in these past three months have I—""That has nothing to do with me." I cut him off, stepping back several paces to widen the distan
Converting Love to Riches Chapter 11
Aurora's POVThree months later, in a remote border town so small it was hard to find on any map, I sat in a chair, basking in the sun.This was a world completely different from Ceyera Island.No gunshots rang out, and no fake pleasantries were exchanged. There were only leisurely days and the quiet changing of the seasons.My leg still hadn't fully healed, and it would ache faintly on rainy days. But that didn't stop me from pushing open the door of a little bookstore called "Missed" every morning and hanging out the sign that read "Open".The bookstore was run by Nicolai Greco, a young man who also bore the weight of his past and had come to this place seeking a peaceful life.The day I met him, I had been wandering along the riverbank with my suitcase behind me.As I looked down at the rushing, icy water below, I thought that settling down here to live out my days didn't seem so bad after all.Then, Nicolai appeared. He glanced at me and stared down at the river with a dead

Leonardo's POVSofia stammered, "L-Leonardo, I just love you too much! I was terrified that Aurora would steal you away from me. Look, my leg is really injured too! If anything, I'm the victim here. "And didn't you also find Aurora an eyesore? I was helping you get rid of a problem! Without me, how could you have pulled it off so smoothly with my substitute—""Shut up!" I roared.Sofia, who had been about to wipe away her tears, froze and looked up at me in disbelief.I clenched my teeth, my eyes narrowing. "Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on my woman?""Your woman?" Sofia repeated, then burst into maniacal laughter. "Leonardo, stop fooling yourself! When have you ever treated her like a person? At the club, you were the one who tacitly allowed others to humiliate her! When I released her explicit video, you didn't say a single thing to me either!"So what if I wanted to break her leg? You're the one who kept shoving her my way, telling me to toy with her however I want
Converting Love to Riches Chapter 9
Leonardo's POVI hadn't realized Aurora had been noting it all down—the careless remarks I'd made and immediately forgotten, the choices I'd made to calm Sofia down, and the property deeds I'd arrogantly given Aurora, thinking they'd keep her happy.The entries were lucid and steeped in anguish. A hundred times she had given in until she had no ground left to yield.The silence in the room was broken by my ringing phone. It was Francesco calling.Overjoyed, it took me several tries to press the answer button. I thought they had found Aurora, that I had found my beloved again."Don Bianchi, we've checked all the planes, ferries, and private cars that left the island in the past two days. Donna Bianchi flew out of Ceyera Island four hours ago using a fake passport."Her final destination is a small island in East Ourelia, with two layovers along the way. We're currently tracking whether she touched down anywhere along the route. Also…"Francesco hesitated for a few seconds and let
Converting Love to Riches Chapter 8
Leonardo's POVThe title page bore Aurora's delicate handwriting."It's been 100 times now. The forgiveness credits are all used up."At the very bottom was another small line, the paper stained and warped by tears."I thought this day would never come. I didn't expect it to arrive so soon."I stared at those words in shock, my heart crushed into a tight knot. Had I really used up all the forgiveness credits?I suddenly remembered a time long ago when the two of us had curled up together on the couch and watched a sad movie about betrayal and heartbreak.Aurora had asked me what punishment I would get if I ever betrayed her.Half-jokingly, I had told her I'd give her 100 forgiveness credits. I was also the one who gave her this very journal.I thought that number was big enough. I thought we loved each other so much that I would never run out of credits to be forgiven.I drew in a deep breath and continued turning the pages stiffly.There wasn't a single tender love note in
