로그인On the day Daisy Hawthorn got married to Dario Verdant, everyone in Palermo waited for her to make a fool of herself. The Verdant family was one of the most feared mafia families in Sicily, and Dario was the only son of the old Don. Daisy, meanwhile, was just an orphan with nothing to her name. The only reason she was even associated with the Verdant family was that her late father had once saved the old Don's life during a conflict years ago. At the wedding, Dario slipped an antique diamond ring onto her finger in front of everyone. Tears filled his eyes as he swore, "Daisy, I love you. You're the only woman I'll ever love." Daisy believed him. After they got married, Dario became the new Don of the Verdant family, yet he still treated Daisy like she was the center of his world. If she coughed in the middle of the night, he would get up instantly and bring her water himself. If she casually mentioned craving seafood paella, it would appear on the dining table the very next day. Everyone said Dario loved Daisy. Daisy believed that too. It wasn't until one afternoon in May, when she overheard something outside the office of their private doctor, Martin Lawrence. "Don Verdant, birth control pills can't be taken long-term. They're damaging her body. The latest test results are back. Donna Verdant already has a hormonal imbalance. If this continues, she could become permanently infertile!" Martin exclaimed. Daisy froze in place. After a brief silence, she heard Dario's voice. "So what if she becomes infertile? I never planned on letting her have children anyway," he said nonchalantly.

"If you keep crying, your makeup's going to run.""I don't care." Mia wiped her eyes. "Just come back soon."Caleb took Daisy's hand and led her into the terminal.After the plane took off, Daisy leaned against Caleb's shoulder and watched the coastline grow farther and farther away.Caleb held her hand and gently rubbed his thumb across the back of it.Greece was filled with white buildings and blue rooftops.They drank wine together on balconies, walked along the shoreline, got lost in narrow alleyways, and laughed while finding their way back.Sometimes, when Caleb fell asleep, Daisy would turn to look at him.When he slept, his brows relaxed completely, unlike the guarded expression he always wore during the day.She would watch him for a long time before leaning closer and resting her cheek agai
After returning to the manor, Dario locked himself inside his study.His consigliere brought him a wedding invitation.It was a white card with silver lettering, and it was embossed with the Anderson family crest.He stared at it for a very long time before finally placing it inside a drawer.That night, Dario sat alone in the study until morning.The next day, he started feeling unwell. His chest felt stuffy, and he had trouble breathing.He ignored it and continued handling family affairs as usual.By the third day, he could barely stand. His consigliere had to help him back to his room.On the fourth day, he couldn't get out of bed at all.The family doctor examined him but couldn't find a cause.All his physical indicators looked normal, yet he grew weaker by the day.In all honesty, Dario knew the truth. He'd always had an issue with his heart. The previous Don had died from the same condition.For years, Dario refused medication and examinations.Daisy's wedding invi
As the car drove away from Verdant Manor, Daisy leaned back against the seat and stared out the window.Streetlights passed one after another outside, but her expression remained unreadable.Caleb kept one hand on the steering wheel. After a while, he finally spoke. "It's over now.""Yeah. None of that should've happened."Caleb glanced at her but said nothing else.The next morning, Daisy walked out from the east wing and stopped the moment she reached the living room entrance.The curtains had been replaced with new ones. A white tablecloth covered the coffee table, which was filled with fresh flowers.Candles flickered gently atop the fireplace mantel.Daisy stood frozen at the doorway for a moment.Caleb stepped out from the side.He had on a dark gray suit. His hair was neatly styled, and he held a navy blue velvet box in his hand.Daisy looked at him silently.Caleb walked over to her, opened the box, and dropped to one knee.His fingers tightened slightly around the
The atmosphere inside Verdant Manor was heavy.Several doctors stood in the hallway. They were all invited from major families in the country. Every one of them had a grim expression on their face.When Daisy and Caleb walked in, whispers immediately echoed through the crowd.Enzo lay on the bed. His complexion was a waxy yellow.Dario stood beside the bed while Julia sat in the corner.The doctors before Daisy had each taken turns examining Enzo, but none of them could find the cause.When it was finally Daisy's turn, she had barely crouched down before Enzo suddenly began convulsing violently."Enzo!" Julia screamed and ran forward before shoving Daisy away. "What did you do?"Dario's expression changed instantly as well. He stared at Daisy and asked in a deep voice, "What did you do?""I didn't even touch him." Daisy stood up."He was perfectly fine earlier!" Julia held Enzo tightly as tears streamed down her face. "The moment you came over, this happened. Did you do this
