“That video in the group chat was filmed in your bridal suite, wasn’t it?” one of the women asked with a grin. “Sleeping around right under Adela’s nose? That’s bold.” Lorenzo leaned back, swirling his drink, looking pleased with himself. “Yes.” “I used to be too sick to do half the things I wanted,” he said, tapping his chest. “After the transplant, I realized spending the rest of my life with only one lover would be a waste.” The room erupted. He let them laugh, then added, “I set myself a goal. One hundred places before the wedding. Once it’s over, I’ll settle down. After that, my body and my marriage belong to Adela.” More laughter. More glasses raised. I stood outside the door with one hand pressed hard against my chest, where an artificial heart kept beating. Lorenzo never knew I had learned his language. He also never knew that I had already discovered he was keeping Vera—our wedding’s mistress of ceremonies—behind my back. And because he had hidden something from me, I had hidden something from him. I had already booked an assisted death service overseas.

“You once told me a marriage license was only paper,” Lorenzo said, his voice breaking. “That what mattered was what we gave each other. Our hearts. Our vows.”For a moment, I said nothing.It was true. Years ago, I had said something like that. Back then, I believed love mattered more than paperwork. Back then, I still thought a vow meant something if it came from the right mouth.What a stupid girl I had been.I looked at him and said, very quietly, “That was before I learned what your promises were worth.”His face went white.Then I finished the sentence that shattered whatever hope he still had left.“Adrian and I signed the registry last week.”The room went silent.Lorenzo stared at me as if I had stabbed him. I could see the moment the truth landed, not just in his mind, but in his body. He looked as though something inside him had simply given way.Then the estate doors burst open.Heavy footsteps. Raised voices. Men flooding the corridor.Lorenzo’s father came in first, furio

The medical director told her plainly that Lorenzo no longer had any will to live. If a man wanted to die badly enough, there was only so much medicine could do.His mother was crying when she turned and saw me. She froze for three full seconds, then stumbled toward me as if she had seen a ghost.“Adela?”Her face crumpled. “Thank God. Then he can still be saved.”The director cut in before she could say anything else. “This is the lead consultant on our cardiac program,” he said smoothly. “She is also engaged to the chief executive of Aurelia Medical. Their wedding is next month.”I thanked him with a nod.Lorenzo’s mother ignored it.“Adela, I know he wronged you,” she said, her voice breaking. “But he’s dying. You loved him enough to give him your heart. How can you stand by and watch him throw his life away?”Something in my chest tightened, sudden and sharp.I kept my voice even. “I’m sorry. You have mistaken me for someone else.”I had no desire to recognize Lorenzo’s name in any

People at the agency said later that Lorenzo collapsed so hard they thought, for a moment, he might die there beside the reception desk.I never saw it.By then, I was already gone.Nine months passed.For most of that time, the De Luca name never stayed out of the papers or the whispered gossip that moved through both polite society and the underworld. Some said Lorenzo had gone half mad. Some said the family’s businesses had taken a hit after the scandal. Some said he had started looking for me in places that had nothing to do with reason and everything to do with obsession.I stopped reading after a while.The money from the estate was enough to give me a quiet life. I settled in a small town by the sea, rented rooms to travelers, and learned how little a person actually needed once she stopped living for someone else. In the mornings, I drank fresh milk, ate fruit still warm from the sun, and opened my windows to clean air instead of family politics and lies.Little by little, my b

He stood over her for a moment, looking down at her as if she were something foul at his feet. By then, she had already gone pale. She knew exactly what kind of man he was, and exactly what kind of family he came from. Men like Lorenzo could be generous when pleased, but once they turned cruel, there was no limit to it.“If Adela doesn’t forgive you,” he said at last, his voice low and cold, “then you don’t need to keep breathing.”That was what finally broke her.She started begging at once. She cried, swore she had only done it because she loved him, and tried to grab at him. He didn’t answer. He simply turned and walked out, leaving her on the floor.Only then, I think, did Vera understand what she had tied herself to. Without me there, Lorenzo was not heartbroken. He was dangerous.When he got back to the estate, he started calling everyone who had ever known me.Friends. Former classmates. People from the years before I entered the De Luca family. He called until there was no one

Later, I learned what happened in the two hours before the ceremony.Vera arrived at the estate dressed almost like a bride.Lorenzo saw it at once.“What the hell are you wearing?” he asked.His voice was low, but everyone near him heard the anger in it.“I told you,” he said, stepping closer, “if

Perhaps the comptroller remembered Lorenzo’s standing orders, because in the end she asked nothing. She only approved the transfer and handed the invoice back to me.I had barely reached the main hall when my phone rang.It was the agency.“Ms. Adela, your reservation has been confirmed. Once the pr

The moment I returned to the estate, I went to the study and took out the deed to the coastal house Lorenzo had built for me.Then I called a private property broker.“I’d like to list an estate for sale.”The next morning, I was still half asleep when Lorenzo came back.Rain clung to his coat. He w
