Chapter 8

Author: Washing Wheat
Covered in blood, Chiara hung suspended in the air. There was blood smeared across her entire face as she laughed like a madwoman.

She screeched, "You think doing all this will win Carlotta's heart back? Dream on! You're the one who killed your own son. You're the one who let those men violate her. The true culprit behind everything is you!

"If I'm the knife that cut into Carlotta and Antonio, then you're the one who drove that knife in with your own hands!"

Chiara hit a sore spot with her wo

  • His Love and Devotion Are All Lies   Chapter 10

    At the brief moment their figures collided, Benedetto said to Ignazio, "My rescue team will be here any moment. You stay outside and provide support."Ignazio was a step behind, so he could only stop at the doorway.Benedetto rushed into the room and looked at me tenderly. "Don't be afraid, Carlotta. I'm here."At that instant, my heart began pounding wildly. I shook my head desperately as tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes. All the strength and courage I had forced myself to maintain throughout the night collapsed the moment I saw him."You idiot!" I scolded.I would rather die than let Benedetto risk himself for me.He gave me a reassuring look.Then he turned toward Chiara and spoke in a calm, steady voice. "I'm here now. Let her go."Chiara burst into manic laughter, her voice sounding like a demon from hell. "You think I'd really let her leave? I never planned on getting out of this alive anyway. Even if I die, I won't let any of you have peace!"A ruthless and

    Ignazio said, "Carlotta, I've given you everything. You've had your revenge. Isn't it time to forgive me?"I remained expressionless as I replied, "I never intended to forgive you."Antonio was dead, and he had died in such a cruel way at Ignazio's own hands. Because of that, I would never forgive him.The light in Ignazio's eyes dimmed instantly. For the last time, he tentatively reached out and held my hand. In his eyes was a humble, hopeful glimmer.He asked, "Carlotta… can we start over, please? Can't we be together again?"I pulled my hand away and wiped it off in disgust. A cold, cruel smile graced my lips as I asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"Ignazio knew that look all too well.Whenever I made my rejection clear, I wore that exact expression—it meant never.The last trace of light in Ignazio's eyes went out. His heart sank to his stomach. He knew there was no possibility left for him to win me back. He no longer had any right to even be in my presence.Howeve

    Covered in blood, Chiara hung suspended in the air. There was blood smeared across her entire face as she laughed like a madwoman.She screeched, "You think doing all this will win Carlotta's heart back? Dream on! You're the one who killed your own son. You're the one who let those men violate her. The true culprit behind everything is you!"If I'm the knife that cut into Carlotta and Antonio, then you're the one who drove that knife in with your own hands!"Chiara hit a sore spot with her words. The savagery in Ignazio's eyes intensified. With a wave of his hand, someone stepped forward and stuffed a filthy rag into Chiara's mouth.Ignazio decided that he would definitely win me back.…A few days later, I went alone to the cemetery to visit Antonio's grave. Ignazio followed me there. The moment he saw Antonio's tombstone, he remembered the small body inside the sack.He mumbled, "Antonio, Daddy's here to see you. I'm so sorry…"Blow after blow, he had struck Antonio with th

    Ignazio's back hunched over bit by bit with shame. He could never make it up to me for every single one of the harm he had caused me.He crawled forward on his knees until he reached my side, just like how I had once crawled on my knees before him in tears when Antonio had been stuffed into that sack.Ignazio lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was covered in tears.He cried, "Carlotta, I know Antonio was my child. I know everything now. I've already dealt with Chiara too! I was wrong. How utterly wrong I was!"Panicked and trembling, he hurriedly removed a necklace from around his neck and held out a small finger bone to me.His voice trembled as he said, "I had my men search the sea for Antonio. Look at this. This was his!"My body stiffened as my gaze shifted to the tiny finger bone. My breathing caught in my throat.My dear Antonio…A sharp pain tore through my heart. With reddened eyes, I snatched it away and slapped Ignazio hard across the face.I shou

    Ignazio walked over to Chiara and stepped on her face. "Even if I have to wager my entire famiglia, I will avenge Carlotta. Take her away. Whatever harm she caused Carlotta, make her suffer it a hundred times over!"After Chiara was taken away, Ignazio locked himself in a room for seven days and went without any food or drinks. He tormented himself mentally by repeatedly going through the contents of the phone I had left behind.It was as though a part of him had died along with me.This went on until he accidentally discovered the hidden information on my phone. Following the clues left there, Ignazio contacted the agency that was responsible for erasing my records and arranging my departure.Using every method at his disposal, he forced the person in charge to spill everything.The man said, "Ms. Zucco booked our service to erase all of her identity records and leave with your son. She specifically instructed us to make sure you could never find her and to ensure that you would

    Ignazio couldn't comprehend what he was seeing.How was that possible? Weren't those beggars the ones I had hired to humiliate Chiara? How could they have turned on me so mercilessly?An overwhelming wave of panic instantly swallowed him whole, and he lost his mind.Ignazio smashed the giant screen on the spot. Then, he confiscated everyone's photos and recordings. He ordered all the guests present not to spread a word about what they had seen.The next second, Ignazio abandoned Chiara and rushed frantically toward the cruise ship.The ship was completely empty. It remained frozen in the state it had been in half a month earlier.Ignazio arrived at the cabin where I had been imprisoned. He stopped abruptly, trembling so hard that he could not muster the strength to push open the door for a long time."Honey, are you… still here?" His voice broke, and his fingertips trembled.There was no response from inside.Ignazio's heart sank to his stomach as he shoved the door open.The
