He Chose My Sister, So I Disappeared Chapter 10
In the end, my father refused to let Leonora set foot inside the Vitale home again.She moved into an ordinary apartment with Anthony, while the Alberti family took back everything they had given her over the previous three months. The servants who had helped spread rumors for Leonora were also expelled from Sicily.A month later, the Vitale family held a funeral for me despite there being no body to bury.Jonathan came, but my two brothers stopped him outside the cemetery gates.“You can’t go in.”His expression changed.“I’m her husband.”One of my brothers looked at him coldly.“Her death certificate has already been filed with the court, and Father is taking the necessary steps to formally end the marriage.”“From today onward, you have nothing to do with her.”Jonathan’s hands clenched into fists.“I don’t agree.”“No one asked whether you did.”My brother turned and walked away, leaving Jonathan outside the cemetery, where he remained for the entire day.Only after everyone had g

That evening, Jonathan went into my room alone.At the Vitale family’s request, the servants had already packed away everything that could be taken, leaving the room bare and strangely empty. Jonathan walked slowly toward the bed, where the wedding photograph still stood on the bedside table, and picked it up.Seven years ago, I had stood beside him in that photograph without the slightest hint of a smile, something that had clearly annoyed him at the time. When the photographer was finished, Jonathan had even leaned closer and muttered, “You could at least pretend to be happy.”I had responded by stepping hard on his foot.Yet when the photograph was delivered later, for reasons even he could not explain, Jonathan had ordered someone to place it beside the bed.It stayed there for seven years.The butler’s quiet voice came from the doorway.“Sir, there’s one more thing.”He held out a package that had never been sent, with Jonathan’s name written across the top.“One of the maids foun

On the tenth day after my “death,” the Vitale family came to the estate.My father looked as though he had aged years overnight, and the moment he stepped inside, he asked, “Where are Adele’s things?”Jonathan came downstairs with dark shadows beneath his eyes, noticeably thinner than he had been ten days earlier.“We still haven’t found her.”My father’s head snapped up.“How much longer are you planning to keep searching?”“Until I find her.”“She’s dead!”Jonathan’s expression changed at once.“She’s not dead.”My father stared at him for a moment, then drove his fist straight into Jonathan’s face.The guards around them immediately drew their guns, but Jonathan raised a hand to stop them. My father had already seized him by the collar.“She was married to you for seven years. Seven years!”His voice shook with fury.“I entrusted my daughter to you, and this is how you took care of her?”Blood appeared at the corner of Jonathan’s mouth, and a bitter smile crossed his face as his eye

By the time Lucia was dragged into the basement, her legs were already shaking so badly she could barely stand.Jonathan sat across from her with the surveillance footage playing on the tablet in front of him. He wasted no time on questions he did not need to ask.“Talk.”Lucia dropped to her knees.“Sir, I don’t know what you mean…”Jonathan lifted one hand, and the guard behind her immediately kicked her to the floor.Lucia screamed as she went down, but Jonathan only watched her coldly.“Who taught Anthony to say those things?”“It was… Miss Leonora. She said Mrs. Alberti had taken her place for seven years.”Lucia swallowed hard before continuing.“She said that if she hadn’t run away seven years ago, the estate would have been hers, and so would the position of Mrs. Alberti.”Jonathan’s jaw tightened.“Keep going.”“Miss Leonora told me to bring it up around Anthony whenever I could. She wanted him to believe that you were supposed to be his father, and that once Mrs. Alberti was

The investigation report was delivered to Jonathan the following afternoon.It was a thick stack of documents, and his expression changed the moment he turned to the first page.“What does this mean?”His right-hand man lowered his voice.“Mrs. Alberti started putting her affairs in order last week. The two cars registered in her name have already been sold, and the money in her premarital account was transferred out in several separate transactions.”He hesitated before continuing.“As for the jewelry you’ve given her over the years…”Jonathan looked up sharply.“What about it?”“Most of it was sent to Miss Leonora.”The study fell silent, and the scene from that day immediately returned to Jonathan’s mind: several servants carrying jewelry boxes into the guesthouse while I stood nearby, perfectly calm.“I don’t want them.”At the time, he had only frowned and asked, “What are you doing now?”Jonathan’s fingers tightened around the report.“Go on.”His right-hand man handed him anothe

Jonathan stared at the man in front of him as though the words had failed to register, his expression blank and his lips parting twice before any sound came out.“What did you say?”The man lowered his head.“The Coast Guard has recovered the car. There was a large amount of blood on the driver’s seat, and one of the doors was torn off in the crash.”“After a fall from that height, with the car in the sea and Mrs. Alberti nowhere inside, they believe she…”“I asked where she is!”Jonathan’s roar cut him off, and the entire corridor fell silent. Even Leonora, who had just stepped out of Anthony’s room, stopped where she was.The man’s face turned white.“She still hasn’t been found.”“If they haven’t found her, how dare you tell me she’s dead?”Jonathan seized him by the collar, his grip tightening violently.“Who gave you permission to say she was dead?”He shoved the man away.“Go find her. Now.”Without waiting for another word, he stormed out of the estate.Half an hour later, the c
