Report
I was only ten years old when Timoteo Panno found me on the streets of Sirithi. He's the Don of the Panno family, the strongest mafia family in the country. He's also the one who taught me how to protect myself. When I turn 18 years old, I become his lover as well as the weapon he's most proud of. Timoteo isn't interested in other women. I'm the only one staying by his side for many years. We've been with each other for four years. Everyone thinks I'll eventually become the Madre of the Panno family. That is, until Nadia Bellucci accidentally kills her fiance and desperately needs a clean identity to wash herself of all suspicions. As she clutches her chest that houses her heart, which is now weakened from the time she has saved Timoteo's life, she whines coquettishly, "Timoteo, I don't want to go to prison…" With a smile on his face, Timoteo doesn't hesitate to push me out as the scapegoat to take the blame for Nadia. "You've always been a pawn who gets abandoned all the time, so you might as well do it one more time."

Timoteo suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Go on."Luca reported, "The first group of masked men was actually hired by Nadia to frame Ms. Liberi. The second time, she leaked our deal price and colluded with the Eastern arms dealers. Her goal was to force Ms. Liberi to her death…"He stopped there, but the look on Timoteo's face had turned so dark and ominous it was as if a storm were about to break.It turned out that Nadia had been trying to kill me from the very start.And all this time, Timoteo had been deceived by her and blinded by the pathetic gratitude he felt for her saving him.But I had saved him countless times before.The realization hit him like a knife to the chest. He felt a crushing pain in his heart.He tried to visit the Bellucci estate but was coldly rejected at the door. He sent numerous expensive jewels, only for them to be returned, untouched.Once, he stayed at a place where I might appear for half a month just to say sorry.There was a time when a mere fro

Nadia screamed, losing all composure. "That's a lie! She's a fraud! I'm the real heiress to the Bellucci family! Serafina, you've always been an orphan. Timoteo found you on the streets. Have you forgotten how you begged him not to leave you?"I remained unmoved. Those words might've stung once, but I'd died and come back. Nadia's feeble attacks held no power over me now."You've used my name, lived in my house, and enjoyed everything that was supposed to be mine for 12 years. It's time to return it all."Nadia trembled, her pupils shaking."Twelve years ago, the Bellucci family's cruise ship sank. When I woke up, all I had left was a necklace. You took everything that proved my identity, didn't you?"I slowly unraveled the past.Each word I spoke made Nadia's face grow paler.Around us, murmurs filled the air.Nadia spiraled into a total panic. She shot a look of pure desperation at Timoteo. "No! You're lying! You bitch!""Lying?" I scoffed."Why don't you think for a second

Timoteo suddenly yanked his hand away from Nadia's, disregarding everything else as he rushed after me."Fina…" His voice trembled with almost desperate pleading. "Is it really you? You're alive…"I coldly responded, "You've got the wrong person."But he moved closer and reached out to grab my arm."Fina, I know it's you. I won't mistake you for someone else!"Before his hand could touch me, another arm firmly blocked his way.Asterio calmly shielded me behind him, his gaze heavy with an overwhelming sense of pressure. "Don Panno, please show some respect. You're frightening my fiancee.""Fiancee?" Timoteo laughed as if he'd just heard the most absurd joke in the world. A terrifying storm brewed in the depths of his eyes. "Who do you think you are to compete with me for her?"Asterio chuckled mockingly. "You abandoned your bride to chase after my fiancee. Who are you to judge me?"Timoteo suddenly drew his gun and aimed it straight at Asterio. "Get out of my way!"But before

I woke up in an unfamiliar clinic. The moment my vision cleared, I saw a familiar face—Asterio Salce.That was Nadia's fiance whom she had killed."You saved me?" I asked.Asterio didn't answer. Instead, he slowly ran his fingers over my necklace."An imposter is enjoying the life of an heiress, while the real heiress willingly plays the blade for the Panno family. Serafina Liberi, have you never thought about finding your biological parents all these years?"I frowned, sensing the underlying meaning in his words. "What do you mean?"Asterio pressed his lips together. "12 years ago, the daughter of the Bellucci family—the pharmaceutical giants—went missing after a shipwreck at sea. Half a month later, a girl appeared in the public eye claiming to be her."Even though the Belluccis knew she wasn't their daughter, the internal power struggles within Bellucci Pharmaceutical were so severe that they were forced to claim her as their own to stabilize their position."I bit my lip. "

Timoteo stood on the dock, his face devoid of any emotion.The rescue team had been searching for three hours with no results.The sea was lethally deep, churning with hidden currents. To make matters worse, I was bleeding out.One of Timoteo's bodyguards cautiously approached. "Don Panno, Ms. Be
