LOGINWhen an avalanche struck, Cristiano Corleone, the man I grew up with, held my hand tightly. But I chose to let go, giving the last seat on the helicopter to my adopted younger sister, Tania Lanza. And that was because in my previous life, after Cristiano chose to save me, Tania was swallowed by the snowstorm, forever lost in the mountains. He acted like he didn't mind marrying me and making me Donna, but then he gave me the silent treatment for 20 years. "If it weren't for you, Tania would never have died." Because of that, I ended up dying from depression. Now, given a second chance at life, I decisively chose to let them be together. Just as I was on the verge of death, Cesare Martelli, the Don of North Arocia's largest mafia family, saved me in the nick of time. I didn't think twice before accepting his proposal and bearing his heir. Three years passed by, and I accompanied Cesare to a business banquet. As he got tied up with some last-minute work and couldn't get away, the men in the region offered to pick me up at the airport. I had never expected the person who would show up would be none other than Cristiano, whom I hadn't seen in three years. The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up with shock and joy. "I knew you were still alive! It's just a shame that Tania is my wife now. But for old times' sake, I don't mind making you my mistress."

But he just looked at me with a serious and worried expression, saying, "Anything involving you is never a small matter."My heart warmed at that, and I didn't try to stop him anymore. A few days later, I was lounging on the porch swing in the backyard, soaking up the sun, when a thoroughly disheveled Cristiano suddenly appeared at the gate.Only a few days had passed, but he looked a lot more haggard now. His hair was a tangled mess, his jaw was covered in stubble, and his clothes were soaked and filthy.The moment he saw me, his eyes immediately turned red. "Silvia, I finally found you…"Standing behind the iron gates, I watched him warily, my hand ready to hit the panic button at any moment.Seeing how wary I was, Cristiano quickly spoke up. "Don't worry, Silvia. I'm not g
Cristiano's eyes went wide at those words. "Silvia, what do you mean by that? How dare you let another man touch you? Aren't you afraid that I might not want you anymore?"He staggered to his feet and reached for me, only for Cesare to kick him away.Cesare calmly adjusted his cufflinks as he met Cristiano's resentful gaze. "Who are you to expect my wife to remain chaste for you? Three years ago, you left Silvia to die alone on that mountain. If it weren't for me, she would already be dead."You're just a lowlife who only gained influence through your wife's sacrifices. What makes you think you can set your sights on Silvia?"You're already as good as dead, yet you still have the nerve to disrespect my wife?"As soon as he said that, a ripple of mocking laughter spread through the dead-silent room. Cristiano's face flushed bright red, and his body trembled with humiliation and rage.It was clear to me now that even after being given another life, Cristiano's pride was still what
Cesare let go of my waist, then slowly closed the distance between himself and Cristiano.Cristiano was down on his knees, while Cesare stood over him, looking down at him. "If I'm not mistaken, you were the ones who insisted on going to the airport to receive my wife."And now, it is also your people who have hurt her."Even though his voice was calm, it sent a chill down everyone's spine. "Tell me exactly what happened between you two over the past few days, and what you did to her. And you'd better not leave a single detail out."You already know what'll happen to you if my men find out the truth before you come clean."It was an unmistakable, outright threat. I'd been married to Cesare for three years, so I knew just how furious he was at the moment.Cristiano swallowed hard, his emotions a tangled mess. He never imagined that the woman who used to chase after him would one day become Cesare Martelli's wife.And seeing Cesare defend me right in front of him sent the inexplic
Tania's knees buckled in fear, and she crumpled to the ground.Those who had mocked me earlier all lowered their heads, afraid Cesare would come after them too.After all, no one had expected that the Donna they'd been dying to suck up to was the exact same broke woman they had just looked down on.The ring symbolizing my status had been right there on my finger, yet they blindly believed Tania and had the nerve to openly disrespect me.The thought of having crossed the Don of the Martelli family had everyone holding their breath in fear.Just then, one of the men who had been with Cristiano at the airport shoved his way through the crowd. He had clearly just walked in and had absolutely zero clue what had just gone down.The second his eyes landed on me, he started running his mouth. "Silvia, how dare you show up here? You were the one who turned down being Cristiano's mistress and refused to come to the banquet back at the airport. So, stop clinging to us like you have no shame
