Chapter 5

Autor: GOAT
[Third-person POV]

Giuliano brought Eva home in the evening. He crouched seriously by the entryway, personally helping her change out of her shoes and into house slippers while casually calling into the house.

"Elena, we're back. Eva's hungry, so go make her something to eat."

The entire estate was deathly silent. No one answered.

Eva arched a brow and smiled, lightly tapping Giuliano's knee with the tip of her shoe. "Looks like your precious fiancee isn't home. Guess she doesn't love you th

  • I Came Back From Seven Years of Hell   Chapter 9

    [Elena's POV]Giuliano left afterward. I walked out of my room to see specks of blood on the floor. I stared at the bloodstains in silence, then called the cleaner in to scrub everything away.For days after that, there was no sign of Giuliano anywhere in town. No fresh jasmines appeared at my door again.I thought he had finally accepted reality, that he'd gone back to where he belonged to continue being the all-powerful heir to the Corleone family.A week later, early in the morning, I opened my door to head to the kindergarten as I always did. That was when I saw Giuliano leaning against the wall across the street. He was so thin he looked like a ghost of himself, and his hand was wrapped in thick layers of gauze.When he saw me step out, his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare come closer. He just stood there at a distance and said quietly, "I put the pieces back together."He lifted his bandaged hand. Resting in his palm was the glass I'd broken, clumsily glued back together. Cr

  • I Came Back From Seven Years of Hell   Chapter 8

    [Elena's POV]For the next month, Giuliano didn't try to get close to me anymore. He just silently trailed me every day. When I stopped, he stopped. When I walked, he walked.I found myself thinking back to many years ago. Back then, he was still a pitiful teenage boy who had just lost his mother. He'd followed me the very same way in silence. My mother had laughed and said that no one chased a girl like that. I'd blushed and called him an idiot. The breeze back then had been gentle, and the sunlight had been warm.Now, everything had changed.On the last day of October, the wind turned sharper and colder. Fallen leaves were swept up, drifting down lightly at his feet.I stopped walking. Without looking back, I said quietly, "Come in and have a seat."Giuliano froze. Then, his face lit up with wild joy. He nodded profusely and cried, "Okay! Okay!"He sat on the couch, stiff and uneasy, like he'd rehearsed this moment in his head a thousand times. "I'm sorry, Elena. Everythin

  • I Came Back From Seven Years of Hell   Chapter 7

    [Elena's POV]Everything that happened after I left had nothing to do with me anymore.I brought my mother's ashes to a quiet little seaside town. I chose the most beautiful spot I could find and laid her to rest there. After that, I got a job at a local kindergarten.There was no mafia bloodshed here—no schemes, no killing, and no lies. When I occasionally thought about my past, it felt like a distant, terrifying nightmare.One weekend, I was riding home in a cab after visiting my mother's grave when Giuliano's voice suddenly came through the radio. He had pulled every string he had to scour the world for me. His voice was hoarse and desperate."Elena, I was wrong. I know I messed up… Please, come back. We can have another baby. I'm begging you—give me a chance to make it up to you…"The driver commented casually, "This whole thing's been the talk of the town lately. The guy on the radio is the designated heir of the Corleone family. He was about to marry his fiancee, but he kep

  • I Came Back From Seven Years of Hell   Chapter 6

    [Third-person POV]Eva came downstairs for a glass of water. Sensing that something was off with Giuliano, she pushed down her annoyance and asked gently, "Giuliano, what's wrong?"Giuliano's breathing was heavy, in so much agony that he could barely force the words out. "Marta… is dead. Elena really is leaving me. This is on me… It's all my fault. I let them down."A flicker of secret delight flashed across Eva's eyes, but she quickly stepped forward and wrapped her arm around him. "It's not your fault. It really isn't, babe. People live and die—that's just life. It has nothing to do with you. If Elena is leaving, it's because she doesn't love you enough. You still have me, and you still have our baby."She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her lower belly. The baby inside her gave a faint little kick.Giuliano's expression suddenly darkened. He clamped down on her wrist and roughly yanked her toward the door. "Come with me. We're getting rid of the baby. Elena lost her c

Eva's hungry, so go make her something to eat."The entire estate was deathly silent. No one answered.Eva arched a brow and smiled, lightly tapping Giuliano's knee with the tip of her shoe. "Looks like your precious fiancee isn't home. Guess she doesn't love you that much after all. She's throwing a tantrum and refusing to come home."Giuliano frowned, feeling an odd discomfort in his chest. He thought of Marta's worsening condition and said flatly, "Marta's not well. Elena's probably at the hospital with her.""You think?" Eva's smile grew more loaded with meaning. She walked over to the couch and sat down, her gaze immediately landing on the document on the coffee table. "Well, well. What's this?"She let out a loud laugh and beckoned Giuliano over.

  • I Came Back From Seven Years of Hell   Chapter 4

    [Elena's POV]My hands were shaking as I answered the call. On the other end, the nurse's voice was rushed and panicked. "Ms. Romano, you need to come to the hospital right away! Mrs. Romano has taken a sudden turn for the worse. She needs emergency surgery!"I broke out in a cold sweat and practically tumbled my way out of the estate, rushing to the hospital like a madwoman. Once all the paperwork was done, the nurse told me I needed to pay the surgery fees immediately.I relaxed a little. Thankfully, Giuliano had transferred a large sum of money to me.But a second later, I froze in place, the color draining from my face. My voice trembled, and I could barely stand upright. "What did you say? My card doesn't work?"The nurse gave me a pitying look and gently repeated, "I'm sorry, miss. Your account has been frozen."This was Giuliano's doing. He'd personally frozen the money I was going to use to save my mother.My hands were shaking as I called him over and over like a lunati
