I Took the Fall, He Took His Life Chapter 9
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. Bellucci is traumatized. She needs you—""Get lost."He gripped his gun tightly, his gaze fixed on the sea.He thought he wouldn't care. I was just a tool to be discarded once I had served my purpose.He had even arranged everything. Once I was in prison, he would pull some strings to ensure I wouldn't truly suffer.But he never imagined I would die."Timoteo…"With a pale face, Nadia approached and tugged at him. "I'm scared… Can we go home?"Her eyes were swollen and glistening with tears.This was the face Timoteo had longed to see for years—the first love he had held sacred for 12 years.But at that moment, he couldn't stop the image of another face from flashing through his mind
I Took the Fall, He Took His Life Chapter 4
The moment I saw the sniper's scope aimed at Timoteo, I threw myself forward without thinking.The force of the impact sent me flying, crashing into Timoteo's arms.I could hear my own breath, heavy and ragged in my chest. Every lungful of air tasted like blood.Timoteo's body stiffened at once."Fina?"His arm instinctively tightened around me, trying to catch my slipping form.The pain was so intense that the world blurred before my eyes, but I struggled to raise my head and look at his face.I had known this face for 12 years and loved it for just as long. Today, I finally let go for good.Timoteo's pupils dilated in shock, and his arm holding me shook uncontrollably. His Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to say something."Timoteo, help me!" Nadia, tear-streaked and trembling, looked at him desperately.His body tensed, and his eyes flashed with a painful conflict.One was me—the one who had been by his side for 12 years. The other was Nadia—the first love he had once
