Chapter 6

Author: Icicle
Ronaldo recalled the moment I had sent him that message.

Helena had claimed that Anda was merely injured and receiving treatment at a veterinary clinic, insisting that I had only lied about Anda's death to get his attention. He also thought back to what Helena had said on the day I fell into the sea.

For the first time, he began to suspect that he might have truly misunderstood me.

The next morning, Ronaldo rushed to the veterinary clinic and sought out the veterinarian who had treated Anda.

  • He Saved His Patience for Another Woman   Chapter 9

    Decracia Fashion Week was one of the world's premier runway events, and it was an exceptionally grand affair. The attendees were exclusively celebrities and the ultra-wealthy—the elite of the elites.Backstage, I checked the jewelry pieces to be showcased, over and over again.Vinicio pulled me down to sit beside him and gently stroked my hand. He said with a teasing smile, "Don't worry. This jewelry collection is going to stun everyone. I know that you're about to become the world's top jewelry designer.""Are you sure?" I asked."Of course. No one can do better than your designs."Just as our conversation took a lighthearted turn, the backstage coordinator hurried over, completely flustered. She informed me that the model for my centerpiece jewelry had sprained her ankle and could no longer walk the runway.For a moment, I was completely thrown off balance.Vinicio took the runway gown from the coordinator and handed it to me. He said, "Liliana, believe in yourself. This piece

    Two weeks slipped by in the blink of an eye, yet Ronaldo still heard nothing from me.One day, a subordinate handed him some data extracted from my phone, along with a recording."I've never done anything to wrong you. I even treated you like family, Helena. Why on earth are you doing this to me?"It was an audio recording I'd made when I confronted Helena back then.As he listened, Ronaldo's grip tightened, nearly crushing the recording device in his hand. He then heard Helena say, "Ronaldo believed every word I said. He even took it upon himself to write these beautiful words right across your face."He shuddered, as if struck by a sudden, heavy blow.In that instant, longing and deep remorse washed over him, and he tasted the sharp, metallic tang of blood rising in his throat.Ronaldo stormed into Helena's Famiglia's villa with his men in tow.Helena was overjoyed when she saw him. "Ronaldo!"But before she could even reach him, his bodyguards pinned her to the ground. A ta

    I stood before the flight information board at the international airport, clutching the fake ID I'd prepared in advance.My final destination now was Decracia.It was a place I'd always longed to visit, but since Ronaldo was perpetually swamped with work as the head of the Famiglia, I'd long since given up on any dreams of coming here on a vacation.The air in Decracia was sweet and humid. The cobblestone streets smelled of sugary doughnuts, while the mellow, soulful notes of a saxophone drifted from a corner bar.I slipped into a loose white dress, put on a straw hat, and wandered along the streets.I turned into a charming, stylish little bistro and ordered a bowl of bouillabaisse and a serving of buttered frog legs. The pungent, spicy garlic aroma brought tears to my eyes, but I found myself smiling in delight as I finished up everything on my plate.I couldn't remember the last time I'd enjoyed a meal with such unbridled pleasure.There was no need for me to worry about diet

He also thought back to what Helena had said on the day I fell into the sea.For the first time, he began to suspect that he might have truly misunderstood me.The next morning, Ronaldo rushed to the veterinary clinic and sought out the veterinarian who had treated Anda.The vet looked at him, puzzled, saying, "Anda died two weeks ago. Why are you only asking about his condition now?"Ronaldo's heart sank even further. He demanded to see the footage from the time of Anda's death.In the video, I had my face buried against Anda's neck, sobbing so hard I could barely catch my breath.Anda struggled to turn his head, nudging my face with his nose, letting out faint, whimpering sounds from his throat.After Anda stopped breathing, I kept calling the same numbe

    As time passed and the scheduled start of the wedding ceremony drew near, there was still no sign of the wedding car with me in it.Ronaldo's Adam's apple bobbed as a sense of dread began to rise within him. Desperate to suppress the worst-case scenario forming in his mind, he pulled out his phone and dialed the number he knew by heart, only to be met with an endless, hollow dial tone.In the banquet hall, guests began to whisper, and the elders of the Brunelli Famiglia wore expressions of deep concern on their faces.Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised their phone and let out a sharp cry of shock."There's been an accident! A wedding car hit the railing while crossing the bridge and plunged into the ocean!"Ronaldo's phone slipped from his grasp as he lunged forward and snatched the device from the person's hand.On the screen, a crowd had gathered on the bridge, and a reporter was broadcasting live as rescue teams were already mobilizing over the water.Unable to hold himsel

    For the next two days, my stomach was all up in knots. I lay in bed, completely dazed and listless.On the morning of the third day, I was jolted awake by a cool, intermittent sensation on my face. As I sat bolt upright, I saw Helena quickly pull her hand behind her back."What are you doing?" I demanded.Helena lowered her head and began to sob softly."Liliana, please don't blame me. The public outcry has gotten so intense. So many people are demanding justice for me, insisting that I make you pay before they'll let this go."My heart lurched. I scrambled to the vanity.There, written across my face in large, bold characters, were the words, "I AM A LIAR."I scrubbed frantically at my skin, trying to wipe the words away.Helena approached timidly and caught my hands. She said, "Liliana, don't hurt your face by rubbing it so hard. It's a special kind of pigment that won't come off for a few days."The netizens said that since you love attention so much, this would serve as a
