Marta held up the camera. On screen, I was lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask covering my face.

"Weather: Cloudy. Temperature: 26°F. Chiara?"

I peeked half my face out from beneath the oxygen mask and lifted my bony fingers toward the camera, flashing a peace sign. "Chiara: Still alive."

Marta secretly wiped away a tear, her voice trembling slightly. "You're like this, and you still want to go?"

I forced myself to perk up and wi

    Third-person POVErnesto came to the old mansion. He stood at the entrance, gazing at the place that held so many memories of his past with Chiara.Then, he noticed a small new grave beneath one of the trees in the yard. He walked over and crouched down. The moment he saw the name engraved on the tombstone, his eyes turned red."Luca… You've all left me… Now, I'm the only one left."He sat in front of Luca's grave for a long time, rambling on about the past they had shared—until Marta appeared before him. "What are you doing here?"Ernesto continued staring at Luca's tombstone. "Can I go see her?"Marta said nothing."When she left… was she in pain?""Not really. She looked like she was asleep.""Really?" Ernesto's mouth twitched, and finally, tears poured from his eyes. "Sometimes, I imagine that all of this is just a fucking nightmare. When I push open the study door, she'll still be sitting on the desk, swinging her legs and smiling at me. Luca will be lying at her feet, la

  • Dumped the Don to Die in Secret   Chapter 13

    After the interview, Ernesto disappeared.Elisa found him in his study, surrounded by empty liquor bottles and cigarette butts. He was sobbing in front of the enlarged photograph."Have you lost your mind?" Elisa shouted. "You haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days! Are you trying to die with her? What about the family? Chiara wouldn't want to see you like this either!""See?" Ernesto laughed, but it was filled with despair. "Can she still see me?"He lifted his head, his eyes hollow. "I wonder if she called my name when she left this world?"Elisa slapped him hard across the face. "Wake up, Ernesto. You don't have the right to throw your life away. Even when Chiara was dying, she was still thinking about you. She even recorded a video to tell you she never hated you."Do you want her to leave this world without peace? She cruelly left you because she wanted you to become the Don, free of any burdens holding you back. But look at yourself now! If you truly love her, then

    The video ended there.The interview room fell into complete silence.Elisa's face was deathly pale, while Ernesto sat perfectly still, staring at the black screen. His fingernails dug so deeply into his palms that blood dripped onto the marble floor, yet he didn't seem to notice."Why didn't she tell me?" His voice was hoarse as he asked Marta.Marta was already crying uncontrollably. "The day Chiara found out was the same day your identity was exposed. You were facing trouble from both the inside and outside. She said that if you knew, you'd definitely bow your head to the family. You'd willingly become someone else's stepping stone just to get her treatment."But if you refused to surrender, you still had a chance to reach the very top. So, she didn't want to drag you down. She knew she didn't have much time left."Ernesto covered his face with both hands, his voice trembling. "Did she… hate me?"Marta shook her head. "There are also some videos Chiara recorded herself. I onl

"Chiara: Still alive."Marta secretly wiped away a tear, her voice trembling slightly. "You're like this, and you still want to go?"I forced myself to perk up and widened my eyes. "Of course! Today is the day Ernesto officially becomes Don!"Marta choked up. "But it's also the day he officially gets engaged to Elisa. I'm worried you'll—""So what?" I smiled, cutting her off. "I was the one who left him. Whether he hates me or forgets me, it's what I deserve. Come on. Nico went through so much trouble to get us tickets. It's time to go."I pushed myself up and threw off the blanket, preparing to get out of bed. Then, suddenly, everything went black. The w

    "Farewell to the World, May 25, 2025, 7:28 am."On camera, Marta's eyes were swollen like two grapes. She was crying and stomping her feet. "Oh, God! What do we do? Chiara is gone! When I woke up this morning, her room was empty. Her bed was perfectly made, like she hadn't slept in it at all last night."That bastard Ernesto must've pushed her over the edge. If she dares go and throw herself into the sea for him, I… I swear… I'll blow up the entire Gambino residence!"Marta searched for me while sobbing.The camera moved through the woods and arrived at a cemetery. In front of a newly dug, empty grave, a figure as thin as a sheet of paper sat on the steps, gently caressing my parents' gravestones."Chiara!" Marta screamed as she rushed toward me. "What the hell are you doing out here all by yourself?"I lifted my head, my eyes somewhat unfocused. It took me a long moment to recognize her. "Oh… Marta.""Chiara?" Marta's voice trembled.I smiled and waved my hand dismissively.

    "Farewell to the World, May 21, 2025, 11:10 pm."I leaned against the hallway wall, struggling to catch my breath as blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.Marta supported me with one hand while holding up the camera with the other. "Chiara, you're sick! You're dying! Why are you running so fast?"I shakily wiped the blood from my lips. "If I don't run… he'll see me. If he sees me like this, won't I ruin his party? It took him so long to finally make it to where he is. I can't destroy that.""Chiara." A familiar yet cold voice came from behind me.The hand wiping the blood from my mouth instantly froze. I hurriedly wiped it away with my sleeve. I couldn't let him find out that I was sick.The next second, an iron grip clamped around my wrist. I widened my eyes and met Ernesto's bloodshot gaze.Frightened, Marta nearly dropped the camera."Heh! It's only been a while since you left me, and you've already fallen this far?" Ernesto forcibly tilted my chin upward, a cruel smil
