Tragic Love

Independence

Countdown

Winning Back the Wife

The Pentarchy famiglie forbid their heirs from marrying commoners. But Matteo Adorni loves me so deeply that he plays revolver roulette against his father just to be with me. Even as blood soaks through his shirt, he still holds me and smiles softly. He says, "Don't be afraid, Rosella. Only death can separate us." But later, he secretly sleeps with Giorgia Vitalis behind my back. When I discover this, he explains guiltily, "The price for the famiglia allowing us to stay together is for Giorgia to give birth to my heir. Please wait for me, okay?" After that, he sleeps with Giorgia 33 times, and they have a daughter. However, the heir must be a boy. So, he sleeps with Giorgia another 99 times. This time, when Giorgia becomes pregnant again, she tearfully accuses me of poisoning her unborn child. Matteo points a gun at me. "Why are you trying to kill Giorgia? Why are you trying to kill my child?" I am chained inside the Adornis' dungeon. All I can do is beg day after day. Finally, the dungeon doors open once again... This time, I will not wait for him anymore.

Chapter 1
Rosella's POV"I agree to a full erasure and completely wipe out my identity," I announced, looking at Matteo Adorni's papa, Don Domenico Adorni."You should have agreed to this deal a long time ago, and now you've wasted so much of our time. Commoner women truly have no brains."He leaned heavily on his cane and sized me up with pure disgust, as if I were something filthy and repulsive. But I no longer cared.Moments later, the Underboss, Venero Castellano, unchained me from the rack. Pain shot through my body, and my legs gave out as I collapsed onto the floor."You'll leave in a week, and you are never to return. Once your identity is wiped out, no one can ever find you again," Domenico said and lifted my chin with the tip of his cane.The light flooding in from the open dungeon doors stabbed at my eyes. As I crawled out of the dungeon, I felt like I was about to be reborn."Rosella!"A familiar voice rang in my ears before Matteo gently wrapped me in a blanket. "Papa finall

Rosella's POVBack then, Matteo paid an enormous price just to marry me.Standing before Domenico, he had wagered his life on a game of revolver roulette. Expressionless, he spun the cylinder of the revolver, pressed the barrel against his chest, and pulled the trigger.The moment the gun went off, a violent spray of blood completely soaked through his shirt and blurred my eyes. I cried as I rushed him to the hospital and kneeled outside the operating room doors, praying for his survival.Thankfully, he made it.We held our wedding in a chapel after that. He had looked at me with those deep blue eyes and delivered his vows with absolute gravity and devotion."I, Matteo Adorni, take you, Rosella Martini, to be my lawfully wedded wife. From this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love, honor, and cherish you, until death do us part."But now…I looked over at Giorgia, who was standing beside the cradle, happily playing with t

Rosella's POVBack in my room, I quietly began packing my belongings.I had lived here for two years, but there were only a few items that truly belonged to me—just a handful of clothes.Everything else was part of my memories with Matteo.I picked up one of the photographs, taken on our first date.Back then, he made advances on me for three months, but I never responded. My life was too tough and exhausting, so I couldn't afford to harbor any illusions beyond pure survival.The turning point came when a rival famiglia kidnapped me to leverage against him. He chose me without a single moment of hesitation.He was shot in the shoulder during our escape. Despite dripping with cold sweat from the pain, he gently wiped my tears away and solemnly asked, "Can this count as our first official date?"I nodded through tears, and he took the photograph on his phone.There were also photos of our chapel wedding, of us buying cranberry cake together, and the sea of roses he once gifted m

Chapter 4
Matteo's POVI was deeply irritated when I received Giorgia's call. She was always causing trouble, but I had to stay by her side and make sure she successfully delivered a healthy heir, or Papa would never let me be with Rosella.As I thought of how Rosella and I were so close to leaving and freedom, I softened my tone a little.On the other end of the line, Giorgia was in labor, crying and begging me to check on the baby."If you'd just come and stay with me until the baby's safely delivered, I'll convince the Don to let you two go. I'll never bother either of you again."I hesitated briefly, but eventually agreed.When I saw Roselle with her suitcase at the main doors of the villa, I told her everything and asked her to wait just a little longer. We would immediately leave once Giorgia delivered the heir.Rosella gave me her usual gentle smile. Every time I looked at her smile, the burdening weight all over me seemed to lift off my shoulders.But there was something strange

Matteo's POVScandals spread through the Pentarchy Famiglie overnight.Word spread that the heir of the Adornis was trying to cast out the Principessa of the Vitalis, which would mean destroying the alliance between the two famiglie.But I didn't give a damn about the famiglie. All I wanted was to see Rosella.As soon as I woke up, I sent my men to look for any trace of Rosella.The room was in ruins. I had destroyed every single piece of furniture that could be smashed.I stared coldly at the furious Papa and at Giorgia, standing to the side as she cradled our daughter, Ariana Adorni, in her arms. I tightened my grip on the knife in my hand and forced the sharp tip an inch deeper into my wrist."Let me leave," I demand in a cold, resolute voice. "Let me go find her, or we will all die."The moment I woke up, I tried to go after Rosella. I was going to take her away and never come back, but they desperately refused to let me leave. They even brought Ariana here, hoping she woul

Chapter 6
I fought to stay lucid and dragged myself to Giorgia's ward.Just as I reached the door, the sound of a baby wailing drifted out from within the room. Giorgia was inside, feeding our newborn son formula, but it seemed like something extra had been slipped into the milk powder.There was a manic expression on her face, a terrifying contrast to the gentle mother I thought she was."I'm sorry, baby," she muttered. "But if you get sick, Papa has to stay and keep making babies with me. I'll make it up to him and give him so many heirs…"My pupils constricted, and the veins on the back of my hand bulged. Waves of vertigo hit me.So, that was the truth.All this time, I believed that the children constantly getting sick was somehow Rosella's fault. But as it turned out, everything was Giorgia, their biological mamma's doing.Time and time again, I abandoned the love of my life and spent endless nights keeping watch beside their hospital beds. I let Rosella be punished and had her heart

Chapter 7
Rosella's POVWithin days of my return to the orphanage, the news was flooded with headlines about the brutal fallout between the Adorni and Vitali famiglie.The conflict quickly escalated into bloodshed, dragging the rest of Pentarchy Famiglie into chaos.I couldn't help feeling emotional about it.From what I remembered, Matteo had never loved Giorgia, but he still treated her with care and attention for the sake of their two children. I never imagined things would fall apart between them so quickly.But none of that had anything to do with me anymore. I barely glanced at the news before scrolling away, since I had my own life to worry about now.The orphanage where I grew up sat at the base of a remote mountain. It was incredibly run-down.Lately, I was caught up in helping our director, Gabriella Conti, raise emergency funds everywhere. Even before this, I had consistently wired a portion of my earnings back.On top of that, I filled in as a teacher to help the kids learn t

Rosella's POVMatteo and his men had been watching the children play when the men in black stormed in, sending the children scattering in all directions.The Adornis' well-trained guards reacted instantly and launched into a swift counterattack. I quickly grabbed a few panicked, fleeing children, pulled them into hiding in a corner, and shielded them with my body.I dared not lift my head or move as bullets whizzed past just inches above my head. Swallowing my terror, I tried to calm the children with a reassuring look.I lost all track of time, and eventually, the gunfire and fighting stopped.Trembling, I turned my head and peered out.The backyard was dead silent. Only a few Adorni men remained, checking bodies littered in the yard.Matteo stood not far away. His eyes were locked dead on me, and his lips parted as if he wanted to say something.I stared back at him and didn't say a word, barely even noticing the chaos around us anymore.In that moment, all the pain I had bu

Chapter 9
Matteo's POVI was walking through the darkness when Giorgia appeared before my eyes, locked in a dungeon.She stared up at me, weeping and begging to see our children with the same pitiful expression she had always worn. But the next second, she screamed as I lashed her with a whip, strike after strike. "For every single ounce of pain you inflicted on Rosella, I'm going to return it to you bit by bit. I'll make sure you live in hell," I hissed, glaring down at her.This was all her fault.She dropped the fragile act and let out a mocking sneer. "You still haven't found Rosella, have you? Do you honestly think she'll forgive you after watching the videos?"She's nothing but a bitch! A commoner like her is never worthy of you!"I should've just killed her when she was locked in the dungeons…"The taunting remarks continued as I kept swinging the whip until her venomous voice finally went silent.Suddenly, the scene shifted. I saw Rosella standing among the clouds, crying that

Rosella's POVThunder rumbled across the sky.To avoid further complications and entanglements with Matteo, I turned around and walked toward my dormitory, never looking back.There was no sound from behind me. He was likely standing rooted to the spot.The moment I stepped into my dormitory, rain came crashing down in sheets. I peered through the window and saw him standing completely motionless, letting the downpour soak him through.I drew the curtains shut. Deep down, I knew with absolute certainty that there was no future for us.…Over the next few months, the Adornis officially decided to fund the orphanage. I worked alongside Gabriella to renovate every room, replace broken desks and worn-out chairs, and buy brand-new bedding for the children.Watching the children run, laugh, and play in the hall brought me a sense of peace and stability.…One day, while I was playing with the children, I caught a man standing at the gates from the corner of my eye. It was Matteo.
