Se connecterOn the day there was an assassination attempt on the Don, my husband, the head of security for the Russo family, was busy coaxing his mistress, who had lost her temper and left. I did not call him for help but used my body as a shield to protect the Don while I was eight months pregnant. In my past life, my husband left his mistress behind and came back with his team of bodyguards to save the Don after I called him for help on the phone. My husband ended up saving the Don and was rewarded by the family with a promotion, but his mistress was killed in the process. Although my husband said nothing about it, he threw me into the shark tank on the day I was in labor. I was covered in blood when I looked at him for an answer. However, all he did was stare coldly at me. "Why did you have to get me to save the Don when he had so many other bodyguards to protect him? You forced me to come back because you're a materialistic woman who only wants fame and fortune! If it weren't for your phone call, Aurora wouldn't have died! You must pay for everything she suffered!" I ended up being torn apart by sharks, and even the baby inside my belly was not spared. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of the assassination attempt on the Don.
Voir plusTime passed, and it was already three years later.Frank's health deteriorated since the assassination attempt, and he retired from his position two years ago. His son took over the family as the new heir and Don.I stood before my father's grave with white roses in my hand. "I did it, Dad."A gust of wind took some of the rose petals with it, and along went my years of grievances and pain. I stood in front of his grave for a while, and I told him of my stable life for the past three years. I talked about how I no longer walk on eggshells around people, nor do I need to force a smile on my face when talking to hypocritical people. The new me had used the fortune he left for me to open a small vineyard to live a quiet and comfortable life.After clearing the weeds growing around his grave, I walked toward the exit where a black sedan was parked, waiting for me. The car door opened to reveal the young Don of the Russo family, who reached his hand out to me. "Are you ready, Isabella
Victor felt like he had given himself a very good excuse as his grip on Aurora got even tighter. Aurora turned to look at me with difficulty. "Isabella… You promised… to save me." I waved her off. "What I said was you had to kill one another. You heard the rules wrong, Aurora."Aurora never expected a soft-hearted person like me would be so despicable. She wanted to say something more, but her breathing got weaker, and finally, she stopped breathing. Her eyes remained open even in death.Victor was trembling as he stared at the love of his life, the mistress he had just killed with his own hands, but he did not hesitate for very long. He crawled to my feet and looked almost devotedly at me."You're the woman I knelt in front of your house for three days with roses in my hand to beg for your hand in marriage, Isabella. You know how much I love you. I was just momentarily bewitched by those vixens. You have nothing to worry about, Isabella. I won't let any of those children live. If
Victor was in a daze, and it felt like he was looking at me for the first time. The expression on his face looked ridiculous. "We've been husband and wife for years, Isabella. Is it necessary for things between us to end up so badly?"I sighed and replied as Victor did to me in my past life, "Being husband and wife is the exact reason why I can't be seen as covering up for you. I know you're not a materialistic person, so this is the only way to convince Don Russo that you're a noble man of high integrity."After all, you caused Don Russo to be in danger by running after your mistress, who was throwing a minor tantrum."I looked at the bodyguards. "You may begin. Remember to place more mats under them to prevent the flooring from getting dirty."After giving the instructions, I leaned back into my chair and waited for Victor and Aurora to tear each other apart. Victor finally realized that the new me would no longer do anything he wanted because I was not in love with him anymore.
Frank left as quickly as he came. In the blink of an eye, the room was left with just me, Victor, Aurora, and a few servants.Victor stood up right away after Frank left. There was not a tinge of remorse on his face as he started ordering me around. "You might have saved Don Russo, but you're still my woman at the end of the day. Taking care of your husband and the household affairs is your responsibility."Make me some food right now. I want pasta, steak, and a glass of red wine. I need to use the time to get myself together. As for the baby, he died to save Don Russo, so you shouldn't be too upset about it. I can give you a baby again anytime!"Victor waved his hand around as he gave the orders, not hesitating for a second that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He was treating my honor as if it belonged to him as well. I sneered in my heart at this shameless and ungrateful man, wondering why I had ever been soft-hearted enough to give in to him when he knelt at my
