I've been married to Federico Moretti for four years, and the entire time, we've lived in a run-down basement. He works three jobs, all to save up money to buy me a house filled with morning sunlight and make it our home. So when the doctor gives me my diagnosis, all I can think about is how I'm about to become a burden to him. When I get home, Federico is crouched in front of a leaking pipe, wrapping tape around it. He looks up and spots the hospital envelope in my hand, his expression darkening. "Sera, how many times have I told you? Those white coats are all crooks. Look at Alfredo's mom. She had a whole bunch of tests done and spent all that money, only to get better after drinking some mulled wine." I glance down at the diagnosis report and suddenly smile. "What if I really am dying?" He frowns. "Don't talk like that. We still owe each other a real wedding. And if you're really sick, I'll make sure you get treated, even if I have to sell my own organs." That night, I swallow all my painkillers at once, determined not to be a burden to him anymore. When I open my eyes again, I'm floating in midair, watching Federico sit on a leather couch inside a private manor. Julia Rossi leans against one of the pillars in the living room, a glass of wine in hand and smiling. "Mr. Moretti, it must have been rough on you, living in that pigeonhole day after day, pretending to be poor for her." Federico takes off his cheap digital watch and tosses it into the fireplace. "You know I love her. But the Black Crown values loyalty above all else, and in my position as Underboss, everyone around me has an angle. Without a setup like this, how could I ever be sure she loves me for who I am and not for my power and money?" Only now do I understand. All those years of scraping by are nothing but a test he carefully staged. However, it has cost me my life.

His Loyalty Test Killed Me Chapter 11
The Moretti family had fallen from grace.Claudia sold the estate outside Palarmo to pay off their debts and moved into an ordinary apartment. Unable to bear the judgmental looks from the neighbors, she kept the curtains drawn all day. Rumor had it that she never left the apartment again.Julia tried to play the victim through livestreams. She cried in front of the camera, her voice soft and pitiful. "I'm a victim in all of this too… I just loved Federico too much… I never meant for Sera to die."The viewer count soared by the second, and comments flooded the screen at a dizzying pace.Her eyes lit up. She thought she could finally turn things around.But the next second, the streaming platform brought my former attending physician onto the livestream. The elderly doctor appeared on screen in his white coat. He asked only one question. "Were you the one who told the hospital that Sera refused treatment?"Julia's tear-streaked face froze. She couldn't utter a single word.The

The day the compensation money arrived, the orphanage got a new roof.Sicelly's rainy season was coming again. In the past, whenever it rained, the children had to use washbasins to catch the water dripping through the leaks. The steady dripping would continue all night.They wouldn't have to do that anymore.A new classroom was built too. Lucia named it "Sera's Reading Room".I had asked her not to put my name on it, but she said the children deserved to know who had made all this possible.A photo of me hung by the entrance. I was wearing a white dress, my hair tied back in a ponytail, and smiling a little shyly. The photo had been taken the year I graduated from college.Back then, I hadn't met Federico yet. I hadn't learned to swallow all my pain and keep it to myself.Now, the children sat studying in their bright classroom. Sunlight poured through the new windows, scattering across their desks like flecks of gold.Lucia would often sit by the windowsill, pull up the last

On the day the Commission released the findings of its investigation, the hall was packed. My landlord and my neighbor were there too. The children from the orphanage sat in the last row with Lucia, their little hands clasped tightly in their laps.When my attending physician took the stand, his voice was steady and composed."When Serafina Conti had her first checkup, she wasn't beyond treatment. If she had received timely follow-up care and been hospitalized, she could have lived much longer—possibly even returned to a near-normal state of health. However, her family repeatedly refused to cooperate."Federico froze. "Her family?" he echoed in disbelief.The doctor nodded, then turned his gaze toward Julia. He explained further, "We called the number listed in her records. The woman who answered is the one standing there."He paused briefly before continuing, "She claimed the patient was emotionally unstable and refused treatment. We kept following up, but someone kept delaying

My funeral was held in the small chapel of the church-run orphanage.Lucia said that since I had never lived in a bright, sunlit house while I was alive, the Morettis had no right to take me away after my death.The chapel was small but spotless. Led by Lucia, the children placed handmade, white paper flowers before my portrait one by one. The flowers were crooked and imperfect, but each one was made with love.And then, Federico arrived.He stood outside the iron gate, holding an old cardboard box in his arms. His suit was crumpled, his face unshaven, and his eyes so deeply sunken that he looked like a completely different man.The security guard stopped him. "Ms. Bellini said you're not allowed in.""I just want to see her one last time," Federico rasped, his voice raw and broken.Lucia stepped out of the chapel. In the three months since they had last seen each other, her hair had turned almost entirely gray. Her eyes were swollen, and she had lost a considerable amount of we
