I Came Back to Life and Traded up My Fiancé Chapter 9
I held Aurelio's gaze, calm as ever. "No. You ruined yourself. Your greed, your selfishness, your malice. Those were the hands that pushed you over the edge."The bailiffs hauled him away, but his venomous stare burned into the room.I knew it was over. The case was closed.Aurelio was sentenced to life in prison, and Maeve received ten years for stealing trade secrets. Their names became a stain in the Mafia.With the scandal piled on top of mismanagement, Dad's company, Santoro Group, went under fast. I leveraged the Santoros' connections and took over the company without a hitch.I cleaned house, kicking out the leeches who'd been feeding off Dad and Maeve, one by one. Finally, the Santoros were back where we were meant to be.Once the family business was settled, I went to the prison to see Aurelio for the last time.Through a thick pane of glass, I saw him in a prison jumpsuit. His head was shaved, and he looked so gaunt that he was barely recognizable.The arrogance and s

Aurelio's company filed for bankruptcy and started liquidating. He went from golden boy to pariah overnight, crushed by debt.Maeve saw the writing on the wall and turned on him. She quietly reached out to the Guerras' sworn enemies, the Lorenzi family. She planned to trade the company's core tech for a life of luxury.She thought no one would ever know, not realizing Cesare was watching her every move.The night Maeve met the Lorenzis to seal the deal, Cesare arrived with the police and caught them red-handed.Maeve was still screaming when they hauled her away. "It was Aurelio! He made me do it! He forced me!"Unfortunately, no one was buying her words anymore. The trade-secret theft charges were enough to put her away for years.The story hit the news fast. When Dad saw it, he was so furious he fainted and ended up in the hospital.He called me, and his voice was weak. "Wanda, I know I was wrong. I played favorites. I'm sorry. Can you... let Mae off just this once for my sake

Aurelio had no idea I'd already swapped out several key ingredients in Reverie. He got a pretty shell with nothing inside.Without my blending process and my signature heart notes, his so-called Reverie was just a cheap, nose-stinging synthetic. He completely blew it.After the botched launch, Aurelio's company went into free fall. The stock plunged instantly, and the cash flow dried up overnight. He became the butt of the joke in both the Mafia and the fashion world.Reverie's collapse left Aurelio's company on the brink. The media pounced, claiming he'd stolen someone else's idea and was a fraud.The people in his orbit couldn't back away fast enough. Collection notices poured in. He was in a full-blown panic, begging for favors and running into walls everywhere.Meanwhile, Renata pulled ahead, took over the domestic market, and attracted partnership offers from several top-tier global brands. Santoro Group's reputation soared to an all-time high.…That day, I was in my offic

Aurelio stood in the moonlight. He looked gaunt, and his eyes were bloodshot. As soon as he saw me, he rushed over and grabbed my shoulders. "Why would you do this to me? You loved me for years!"I shrugged him off. "Save it, Aurelio. You don't get to throw around the word 'love.'"Something in him snapped. He started laughing, and he sounded unhinged. "Wanda, stop acting like you're above everyone else. Aren't you curious how I know about Reverie?"He locked eyes with me and enunciated every word. "Because I was reborn!"I wasn't surprised when he let that secret slip. I'd suspected as much back at the perfume sampling, when he started making those bizarre demands.Seeing how flat my reaction was, Aurelio's face twisted even more. "You heard me right. I was reborn, and I remember my past life. I know every card you're holding!"In our last life, you shot to fame with Reverie and used it to rocket me to the top of my career. That formula should've been mine. You owe me!"His log

My words landed like a gavel. I looked past Aurelio at Cesare. Shock and humiliation were written all over Aurelio's face."I chose Cesare Guerra."The room went dead quiet. Eyes flicked between me and Cesare, stunned.Aurelio snapped out of it and jabbed a finger at Cesare. His voice was shaking with anger. "Wanda, you're out of your mind! Look at him. He's a monster. You'd rather marry a freak who won't even show his face than marry me?"His bellow ricocheted across the venue, harsh and grating.I met his gaze, flat and cold. "Mr. Cesare's ten times the man you are on the inside. He doesn't steal other people's work, and he'd never frame his own family."Every word was a knife, driven straight into Aurelio's heart. The color drained from his face. His lips trembled, and he couldn't get a word out.Maeve crumpled to the floor. Her eyes were wide with terror and despair.Right then, Don Guerra stepped onto the stage, leaning on his cane, with the butler steadying him.Don Guer

A sharp pain shot through my wrist. I yanked back, trying to break free.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a sea of flashing cameras below. It hit me. Aurelio had staged this to ruin me today, in front of the media and every one of our peers in the Mafia.I swallowed the rage and leveled a cold stare at him and Maeve. She smirked.Aurelio seemed to realize he'd overreacted, but he still wouldn't let go. He hauled me to the center of the stage.Reporters erupted and snapped pictures of me. "Isn't that the Santoros' oldest daughter? She's actually bullying her stepsister at a launch event. What a disgrace to the Santoros."Aurelio looked disgusted. "Wanda, apologize to Mae right now! How did I end up tied to someone like you? Unbelievable."One of his men immediately handed Maeve an inhaler."Ms. Wanda, this won't fly. You can't even tolerate your own sister? Mr. Guerra will have plenty more partners going forward. Are you going to go after them one by one?""Maybe Ms. Wand
