Keep the Crest, I'm Going Home Chapter 11
After Carmela left, Cole started pestering me again.Whether he sent flowers or jewelry, I returned everything untouched.With no other options, he planted himself outside the Rossi estate and waited for me all night.The next morning, when I stepped out, his eyes were bloodshot and his jaw was rough with stubble. The moment he saw me, he rushed forward and grabbed my hand. "Elsa, give me one more chance. Please."I was wrong before. From now on, I'll put you first. I'll never let you suffer again. Just trust me this once."I pulled my hand free and looked him in the eye, every word deliberate. "Cole, four years ago in the garden, you were the one who told me, 'Even if the whole world gives up on you, I never will.' Then you believed Vera, accused me of stealing, and told me to apologize to her.""No matter what you do now, it's too late."But he still didn't give up entirely.Sometimes, when I attended a social event, Cole would stand at a distance, quietly shielding me from unwanted

After the banquet, the guests filed out. Carmela hurried after me, her old pride and authority stripped away."Elsa, I was wrong. I was blind. I trusted that fraud, and that's why I treated you the way I did."Please, forgive me. The Moretti family will pay. Every last one of them.""The Moretti family will answer for what they've done. But I'm sorry, I can no longer think of you as my mother."She stumbled backward, barely keeping her balance.Cole rushed over, his expression tangled with regret. "Elsa, I'm sorry. I didn't know... If I'd known Vera was a fraud, I never would have...""Never would have what?"I cut him off, my voice even. "Never would have taken her side? Never would have accused me of stealing? Never would have told me to apologize to her? Cole, let me be clear. It doesn't matter who she was. You had already failed the Elsa who once relied on you and believed your promise never to abandon her."Cole went white.I didn't spare him another glance. I turned and walked aw

Lorenzo's gaze swept across the room and settled on the three members of the Gallo family."Twenty-two years ago, the Moretti family engineered an audacious plot to take over both the Rossi and Gallo families."They had the newborn heirs of both families kidnapped. Their plan was to kill the real children, then years later stage their miraculous return with Moretti agents in their place."Gasps rippled through the crowd.Every eye turned to Vera.Could she be the imposter?Carmela staggered. "No... that's impossible..."Vera was the daughter she'd reclaimed. The child she'd doted on for four years. How could she be a fraud?"My daughter Elsa survived because the killer assigned to the job had a moment of mercy. He abandoned her on the outskirts instead of killing her, and she was lucky enough to be found and adopted by Mrs. Gallo."Lorenzo continued, his voice icy. "But Mrs. Gallo's own daughter was not so fortunate. The Moretti family killed her twenty-two years ago."The words hit th

The night of the banquet, the estate blazed with light. Carmela arrived on time with Vera and Cole.Vera wore a burgundy evening gown and kept looking around, her eyes bright with envy."Mother, the Rossi family certainly lives up to its name. They control nearly eighty percent of the ports and arms-smuggling routes. If we could build a connection with them, nobody would dare touch us."She spotted me standing in a corner and immediately pulled Carmela over."Well, if it isn't Elsa." Her voice dripped with acid. "I thought you had so much backbone. All that drama, and you still had to ride our family's coattails to get in here."Saying you were going back to your 'real home.' I bet you just found some random man to take you in."Carmela offered a halfhearted scold. "Vera, that's enough."Cole walked over too, irritation in his voice. "Elsa, come with me. We need to talk."He reached for my wrist. I stepped aside."Mr. Marino, please keep your distance. We're not that close."Cole's fac

After coming home to the Rossi family, my mother Ivy found a new way to cook for me every day. From breakfast to late-night snacks, she always made things I liked.Lorenzo brought me into the family business and patiently taught me how to handle its affairs. No one put trials in my way. No one told me to step aside for someone else.Slowly, I settled into being treasured and put the years in the Gallo household behind me.At the same time, the Gallo family was beginning to notice something was wrong.They'd assumed I was just being jealous and petty, that running away was a ploy for attention. But days passed, and I hadn't returned or sent a single word.Cole cracked first.He sent me over a dozen messages, his tone shifting from impatient demands to a show of forced bravado.[Elsa, you've had your tantrum. Come home.][Elsa, if you're willing to come back and apologize to Vera, I'll drive out to get you myself.][What are you so busy with? Why won't you answer my messages?]After the

Meanwhile, after an hour on the road, the car stopped in front of a sprawling estate.The iron gates slowly opened, and the lights along the walls flickered on one by one.I had barely stepped out of the car when my birth mother, Ivy Rossi, came forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. "Sweetheart, you're finally home."Her embrace was warm and faintly scented with flowers.I stiffened. After a moment's hesitation, I raised an arm and gently hugged her back.A stern-faced man stood nearby, watching, yet his eyes were warm.He was Lorenzo Rossi, the Don of the Rossi family and my biological father. "I'm glad you're home. Was the drive tiring?"I shook my head, unsure what to do with myself.Twenty-two years. I never imagined I would see my birth parents again.That they would be standing here, waiting for me to come home.Ivy took my hand and led me upstairs, all the way to the sunniest room on the second floor, and pushed open the door.The room was spacious, with plush carpet, floo
