Chapter 6

작가: Splitting Spring
Perhaps heaven took pity on me. That must have been why I was allowed to reunite with Michele, so I could leave with my heart at ease.

One month was enough for me to put my affairs in order.

After leaving the clinic, I contacted a funeral service. I booked the simplest cremation and a basic urn, instructing the staff to scatter the ashes into the sea when the time came.

I had spent these past years on the run, cutting off contact with my family. I had nowhere left to go.

It would be better to stay in these waters, quietly keeping watch over the person I wanted to protect.

The funeral arrangements drained every last bit of money I had. When I saw I had only 35 cents left, tears slipped down my face.

In the next instant, an unknown number flashed across my screen.

The person launched straight into a tirade. "You gold-digging bitch. How dare you pretend to be Don Giuliani's benefactor? Have you no shame at all?"

The voice was unfamiliar. I hung up and blocked the number.

  • My Scars Are Seeds of Glory   Chapter 8

    The surgery went smoothly. When I woke up, I was already in the ICU. My body now held one of his kidneys and part of his liver.The doctors said I was recovering well and could be discharged in a few weeks."What about Michele?" I asked.The doctor's eyes flickered. "Mr. Giuliani is still resting."A shiver ran through me, and a sense of dread settled deep in my chest.When I was strong enough to stand and walk a little, I demanded to see Michele.Underboss Edmondo Marcello stepped in front of me. His eyes were red and swollen. "Ms. Rossitto, Don Giuliani wants you to rest and recover.""Move," I snapped, shoving past him and staggering toward the next room.I opened the door, and the room was empty. The neat sheets and the silent machines made it look as if the room had never been used.I spun around and grabbed Edmondo. "Where is he?"Edmondo lowered his head, fighting to stifle his sobs. "Don Giuliani refused anesthesia, and his body couldn't take it. He didn't make it."

    Nobody saw this coming. The woman they all had cursed as a gold-digger turned out to be Michele's benefactor all along.Public opinion flipped instantly. When Michele saw the news, he rushed to the hospital at once.The moment he saw me covered in tubes, his eyes reddened, and his voice shook beyond control. "Why didn't you tell me?"I didn't want him to worry, so I forced a small smile. "I didn't want to burden you."He gently lifted a corner of my hospital gown. As soon as he saw the wound, he immediately looked away.I shuddered. He noticed immediately and held me tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Alma, forgive me for how I've treated you these last few days…"I shook my head and said, "It's all in the past. Now that you know the truth, help me clear the debt. After that, we shouldn't meet in private anymore. You and Barbara are getting married. This isn't appropriate."Michele shook his head violently, trying to deny everything I had just said. "It's over b

    Michele froze when he saw the name at the top.He stared at me in disbelief, and for a moment, he forgot how to speak. Then he let out a cold laugh. "Go on, Alma. How long are you planning to keep up this act just to scam money?"His voice trembled slightly. I immediately clenched the donation receipt in my palm, and despite myself, my hand shook.In Michele's eyes, I was the woman who abandoned him at his lowest. Now that he had risen, he expected me to crawl back, spinning lies just to bleed him dry.I lifted my head and met his disgusted gaze. My body hurt so badly it had gone numb, yet my chest felt so tight I could barely breathe.He scoffed. "Alma, are you saying the benefactor was you? At least make your lies believable." He was usually a man of few words, but now his speech came out jumbled. That only made his panic more obvious.I forced a smile through the pain, masking it with a calm facade. "You figured it out. Looks like I'll need another way to get money from yo

    The private room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into laughter and whistles."After Michele went under, I heard she hooked up with some rich nobody. Well, at least she's got something to offer.""Why don't you stick with me from now on, sweetheart? I can offer you what Michele failed to give you five years ago.""Nice body. Shame it's been used. I'll give you five thousand dollars a week. Does that sound good?"Laughter filled the room as their hostile gazes roamed over me. I couldn't tell who reached for me first, but soon more hands were groping at my legs."Don't touch me!" I cried, trying to pull away. The tear in my abdomen burned through me, making it impossible to get away from their hands.A flash of derision crossed Michele's eyes. "Alma, what are you playing at? Are you dodging this slowly just to play hard to get?"At his words, the hands groping me came to a halt.He shot me a piercing look. "Are you really trying to make some quick money? Out of respect for

    That was when I scrolled past some gossip from the underground world. "New Don Spotted Kissing Girlfriend at Nightclub Kiss—Marriage Rumors Explode."Envy ran through the comment section. People claimed this real-life drama outshone any movie.Michele's success in both love and business should have comforted me. Instead, my eyes burned with a sharp sting. Just then, my phone rang."Ms. Rossitto? This is Barbara. Michele regrets it. He wants the 50 thousand dollars returned. If you refuse, he will sue you for extortion. The family's legal team isn't something you can afford to provoke. I am sorry, Ms. Rossitto. I tried to speak up for you, but Michele truly despises you now."I gave a bitter smile, said nothing, and ended the call.After standing there for a while, I dug a crumpled business card out of the trash and dialed the number. "Mr. Frattini? I agree to work at Club Luna."I used to have my limits. I would rather wash dishes than step into a nightclub soaked in lust and n
