He Chose the Firefall, I'll Let Him Burn Chapter 10
Sofia's POV"Principessa Sofia, we've driven along the coast five times already. Shouldn't we head home?" Rocco asked."Just a little longer. The sea breeze feels wonderful, doesn't it?" I gazed at the twinkling stars in the distance and smiled. "And from now on, just call me Sofia."He hesitated. "Yes, Principessa… I mean… Sofia.""Pull over there for a bit." I pointed toward a wide, open space at the next intersection. "Come take a walk by the sea with me."Rocco parked the car and followed a few steps behind me.The white sand shimmered beneath the moonlight. I slipped off my shoes and walked barefoot across the soft sand.Rocco took my shoes from me and asked quietly, "That man earlier…"I burst out laughing. "So you do get curious after all? I thought you were a robot."He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.I said, "He isn't important to me. And I won't be seeing him again."Matteo would never agree to my unreasonable demand, of course. I understood better than any

Sofia's POVMatteo jumped to his feet, his face lighting up with delight. He hurried toward me.I instinctively took two steps back and hid behind Rocco."What's going on?" I whispered to him.Rocco looked confused, but he still moved to shield me more fully. "Do you know him, Principessa?"Matteo reached out to take my hand, but Rocco immediately shoved him away."Sofia, I've missed you so much. Please, just let me get a good look at you, okay?" Unable to get any closer, he could only call out to me.I sighed and stepped out from behind Rocco. "Why are you here? I was supposed to meet the CEO of a securities firm today."Rocco pulled out a chair for me. I sat down and looked Matteo over.He returned to his seat across from me and said, "You know it's not difficult for me to assume a false identity."At that, I shot Rocco an annoyed look.Rocco lowered his head awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Principessa. I'll investigate exactly where things went wrong."Matteo looked ecstatic, and

Sofia's POVFortunately, Papa's condition seemed to be improving. He was staying awake for longer periods each day, and his voice was growing stronger.Following his instructions, I gradually began taking over the family's affairs.Rocco Caruso, Papa's most trusted aide—the man in the black suit—was also there to assist me.As the largest Mafia family in the north, the Marchetti family's power was deeply entrenched. A smooth transition of leadership was no easy task.Word of Papa's critical condition had already spread throughout the family. There were plenty of people eager to take his place.I had no choice but to first get the family's businesses in order. Then, I gradually earned the trust of the Underboss, the Consigliere, and the Capos. After all, ability and results mattered far more than blood ties in the mafia world.Every day, I reviewed the family's business development plans. I also visited our various territories with Rocco, often leaving early in the morning and no

Sofia's POVOne of the men in black opened the car door for me. "Welcome home, Principessa Sofia."I looked up at the villa I hadn't seen in six years. It was exactly as I remembered it when I'd left."Don Marchetti is waiting for you in his room," the man said."What did the doctor say?" I inquired."His condition isn't looking good. He'll explain the details himself."I knocked before turning the doorknob and stepping inside.Even though I'd prepared myself mentally, tears still welled up in my eyes the moment I saw Papa.The last time I'd seen him, he was still so strong and youthful. He had radiated an authority that no one dared challenge.Now, he lay in a bed, so emaciated that he'd become almost unrecognizable. His face was sallow and lifeless."Papa!" I rushed to his bedside with tears streaming down my face.He stared at me for a long time. Only after he seemed certain it truly was me did a smile spread across his face."Sofia, it's really you.""Papa, I'm sorry I

Sofia's POVI stood outside the terminal with my suitcase and flagged down a cab.I hadn't been back in six years. The streets had changed quite a bit. Even the neighborhoods I used to know felt unfamiliar now.The driver dropped me off at the address I'd given him. I reached into the hidden pocket sewn into the lining of my clothes and pulled out some cash to pay the fare.Six years ago, when I first left the north and went to the south, I'd been robbed by a pickpocket the moment I stepped out of a taxi. My bag had been slashed open, and all my money was stolen. The only thing I had left was the pair of diamond earrings Mama had left me, which I'd kept with me at all times and hidden well.People learned from experiences. I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.I asked the hotel receptionist for a single room and carried my suitcase upstairs. The room was small, but at least it was clean. It would do for a few days.I unpacked my suitcase and carefully calculated how m

Third-Person POVSofia's room looked exactly as he remembered it.The vase they'd picked out together, the oil paintings he'd stayed up late helping her work on, the gemstone bracelet he'd bought her… She'd left everything behind.Just like him, all those things had been left behind.Sofia was gone.Matteo reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold pendant necklace set with fire opals. He'd had it custom-made at a local jewelry shop near the Firefall, intending to give it to her.In fact, he'd planned to put it around her neck while they were at the bridal boutique trying on her dress. However, he'd never have the chance to do so.He'd thrown that chance away with his own hands.It wasn't until tears began trickling down and soaking into his collar that Matteo realized his face was wet with them.He came back to his senses and turned to Giorgio. "Tell the Consigliere to have every available man in the family search for Sofia."Then, he paused and added, "And make sure no o
