He Bet on My Wedding, so I Bet on My Groom Chapter 11
I thought Edoardo would finally give up after making such a scene, but I underestimated his stubborn delusion.He rented a small house near the route I took to work every day, clearly intending to dig in for the long haul.When I refused to meet him, he had breakfast delivered to my office reception desk.Sometimes it was fresh coffee and pastries; other times, a massive bouquet of flowers. He had transformed back into the man who had pursued me years ago. patient, passionate, and willing to spend endless effort just to make me smile.Too bad I was no longer that naive girl who could be swayed by cheap grand gestures.The things that used to soften my heart now brought nothing to my eyes but utter exhaustion.When my father eventually caught wind of it, it took less than twenty-four hours for Edoardo's rented house to be completely cleared out.I assumed that was the final chapter.Until one drizzly evening, as I stepped out of the office building, I caught sight of him standing by the

Edoardo's face drained of all color, his lips trembling violently."All... all of those games were Ambra's idea! I genuinely thought it didn't matter...""I thought you two were best friends... I thought you wouldn't mind...""I swear I was just playing around! I had no malicious intent, Valentina. I never wanted to hurt you! I love you!"Watching him throw Ambra under the bus at a moment like this only made me feel an overwhelming wave of disgust.At this point, I couldn't care less who tricked whom.Whatever Ambra had done, or how much Edoardo had known, meant absolutely nothing to me anymore. Yet he still refused to let go."So you're saying Ambra forced your hand, and you were just a helpless victim?""Grow up, Edoardo. When you make your bed, you lie in it. It takes two to tango, and neither of you is innocent."I had the butler bring me my phone and played him the video Ambra had sent me."If this is what you call love, then it only makes me sick."After seeing that video, his bo

Edoardo's chest heaved violently as his eyes swept past the stunned crowd, locking straight onto me. He stood rooted to the spot, pale as a ghost."Valentina..."His voice was so hoarse it was almost unrecognizable.The moment he took two frantic steps forward, hundreds of cold, black gun barrels leveled straight at his chest from every corner of the nave.The cathedral, thrown into turmoil just seconds ago, fell dead silent.A deep, imposing voice cut through the silence like ice."Where did this arrogant brat come from? Who gave you permission to raise hell on my domain?"My father, shielding my mother behind him, was entirely stripped of his earlier warmth, leaving only lethal authority.Edoardo frowned, his knuckles white. "Who are you?"Before the last word left his mouth, a bodyguard stepped up and delivered a crackling blow across his face.Edoardo's head snapped violently to the side, blood instantly trickling from his split lip.He jerked his head back up, eyes wide with fury.

Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, bathing us in a mosaic of vivid color.I held tight to my father's arm, stepping down the aisle to the rhythm of the organ.Though white touched his temples, he still carried that formidable, unyielding aura, the kind that held an entire room in quiet awe.Noticing my gaze, he glanced down and murmured, "Nervous?""A little," I said.A faint smile touched his lips as his grip on my arm tightened reassuringly."Don't be. Papa is right beside you."A wave of warmth hit my nose, bringing a sudden sting to my eyes.The day my mother and I stepped off the plane, a fleet of black sedans was already waiting on the tarmac, with my father at the head of the line to greet us.When he laid out the files kept carefully over twenty years, the truth that had once broken my mother's heart was finally brought to light.Back then, his mother, my grandmother, refused to accept a woman of ordinary birth.Knowing her son was hopelessly in love, she spun

As Edoardo stood absorbing his parents' fury, remorse coiled around his heart like suffocating vines.Years ago, he had loved Valentina so deeply. He was willing to do whatever it took to protect her, and he had painstakingly planned every detail of this wedding.When did everything start to change?Ambra turned to the Don and coaxed, "Please don't blame him for what Valentina did today. She's been very emotional lately, Edoardo did nothing wrong..."She reached out to touch Edoardo's shoulder, but he took a step back, dodging her grip.Ambra's hand froze mid-air, the ring on her finger glittering glaringly under the light, the exact wedding ring he had personally pulled off Valentina's hand.It was as if Edoardo had been struck by lightning. Everything he had once taken for granted suddenly clicked together, forming a picture so painfully clear.Ever since Ambra's family fell on hard times, he was the one who gave her money, arranged housing, and allowed her to intrude into their live

The church at Lake Como was still decorated for the wedding according to plan.Guests arrived from far and wide, black sedans pulling up one after another along the estate drive. Men in sharp black tuxedos and women dripping in jewels were ushered inside by bodyguards.It was the grandest wedding the Marino family had seen in years.Yet with just ten minutes left before the ceremony was set to begin, the bride was nowhere to be found."She's still not here?" Edoardo glanced down at his watch.The butler kept his head low. "We can't get through to Signorina Valentina's phone, Underboss. We sent men to her room, but it was empty."An ominous feeling washed over Edoardo.Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a message from an anonymous number, complete with an attached photo.With just one glance, his eyes widened in utter disbelief.In the picture, Valentina stood by the sea in the vintage-style wedding dress she loved, while a handsome man gently adjusted her wind-blown veil, his eyes filled
