ВойтиMy fiance, Luca Rossi, cuts off my finger with a cigar cutter to seize Ossuary Signet, my famiglia heirloom. Afterward, he parades it like a trophy and slips the ring onto the finger of Sofia Constanzo, the heiress of the Constanzo famiglia. He mocks me openly. "An orphan like you has no right to wear the ring meant for the future Donna of the Rossi famiglia." Sofia lifts her hand to flaunt the ring, feigning concern as she says, "Alessia, don't be angry. At worst, I will have Luca compensate you with a golden finger later." Everyone present watches me as a joke, yet I laugh out loud. I wipe away my tears and start to applaud. "Congratulations, Luca. You traded one of my fingers for the Rossi famiglia's one and only lifeline." I look at his stunned expression and smile cruelly. "Do you think it's just a ring? No. It is the sole key to unlock the billions in assets under my name. The moment it leaves my hand, the Rossi famiglia begins its countdown to bankruptcy and liquidation."
Узнайте большеPrison hadn't changed Luca. If anything, he had become more twisted. I barely recognized the man before me through the glass. Luca was emaciated, his face scarred. The second he saw me, he pressed himself against the glass like a man possessed. "Alessia, you've finally come to see me! I knew you still loved me! You're here to save me, right?"Clad in a white couture suit, I linked arms with Silas and met his gaze calmly. "Luca, don't get the wrong idea. I came to share some good news."I raised my hand. A new ring sparkled on my finger—not the Ossuary Signet, but a brilliant pink diamond, crafted by Silas himself."I'm marrying Silas tomorrow," I said.Luca's face froze, then twisted into something monstrous. "No! You can't marry him! He's nothing but a mute bastard! I'm the Rossi famiglia's firstborn! You're my fiancee! You can only marry me!"He slammed his fists against the glass and shouted, "Alessia! You whore! How could you betray me?"Silas, who had remained silent until
Silas stepped forward, and the chill in his eyes shut Sofia up instantly.Through her tears, Sofia removed her dress in front of the lingering media and guests, leaving her in disheveled underwear as she scrambled away in embarrassment.That night, everything in Santini shifted.The Rossi famiglia collapsed into bankruptcy. Luca ended up in prison, while Sofia ran half-naked through the streets.I stood atop the ruins of the Rossi famiglia, reclaiming the dignity that had always belonged to the Marino famiglia.Rossi Manor was sealed off, and everyone was driven out. At the manor gates, a cold wind swept through.I wore only the thin maid's uniform, but I didn't feel the cold. Silas had draped his suit jacket over my shoulders.He himself wore only a light dress shirt, standing in the wind, shielding me from it all."Ms. Marino!"A convoy of black Rolls-Royce Phantoms came to a stop. Men in tailored suits stepped out and greeted me as one.I felt nothing as I took in the scen
Valeria's eyes rolled back, and she nearly collapsed. "Your hand…"I held up my severed finger and glared at Luca. "Luca, didn't you know? I never took the ring off. Once it comes off, it loses its purpose."As his face drained of color, I gave him a merciless smile. "Don't you remember? You were the one who used a cigar cutter to sever my finger. And with it, you cut off the Rossi famiglia's only way out. The moment you called my finger trash and I fed it to the fire, the end began. Congratulations, Luca. You cremated your famiglia and its fortune with your own hands.""No…" Luca collapsed to the floor, shaking his head in denial. "It can't end like this, not over one finger."Suddenly, he snapped. He lunged at Sofia like a wild animal, pulling her hair and reaching for the ring. "Hand it over! Give me the Ossuary Signet!""Stop! Luca, you're hurting me!" Sofia screamed, struggling against him.Luca's bloodshot eyes bulged as he ripped the ring from her hand. Right then, a group
Valeria said, "She's the heiress of the Marino famiglia, the granddaughter of the late global tycoon Sergio Marino! That ring doesn't belong to the Rossi famiglia. It belongs to the Marino famiglia, and it's the key to controlling their trillion-dollar fortune!"Everyone froze. Luca went rigid where he stood.Sofia's face drained of color, and she instinctively clutched the ring in her hand."The Marino famiglia?" someone gasped. "You mean the famiglia that basically owns half the shipping and power grids out there?""Mamma mia! Alessia is the last of the Marino famiglia?"Valeria's eyes welled up with tears. She pointed a trembling finger at Luca and said, "The Marino famiglia nearly collapsed 20 years ago. To protect his only granddaughter, Sergio entrusted Alessia to the Rossi famiglia. Your grandfather knelt at Sergio's bedside for three days straight, vowing to raise her as his own and begging for this marriage. "That was the price for their trust. Since then, the Rossi fam
