Once They Chose Her, I Chose Myself Chapter 10
One year later, in a penthouse apartment belonging to the Rossi family in Sirano, a baby's cries echoed from the baby monitor.The nanny picked up the baby, Lucio Rossi, and carried him to another room, cooing at him soothingly.I leaned against the couch, balancing the laptop on my lap as I handled issues related to the family's foundation.Marco strode out of the study and placed a glass of warm milk in front of me."It's time to rest," he said.I looked up at him. His eyes were as cool and kind as ever under the sunlight.In the past year, Marco had used his actions to make his words a reality."The lady of the Rossi family didn't need anyone's charity. She will also not be threatened by anyone."I gained ten pounds after Marco took care of my stomach illness.After Lucio was born, Marco worried that the nanny wouldn't be able to adequately take care of Lucio, so he withdrew from all the family's affairs and cancelled all his jobs.Not only did he stay at home with me for

At first, the Rossi family wanted to force Antonio and Matteo to answer for harassing me.But after taking Maria's feelings into consideration, Mamma stopped them before they could proceed further. However, they kept a closer eye on the Corleone brothers, refusing to let them approach me again.Peace was restored to our lives, and we continued preparing for the wedding ceremony.Unfortunately, despite all the preventive measures put in place, we forgot to take Sophia into account.None of us knew how she managed to find us.Marco and I were on our way home after taking wedding photos when someone suddenly dashed onto the road and fell to their knees in front of the car.It was Sophia.Her face was tear-streaked, and her hair was a mess. She had totally lost her past luster."I've learned my lesson, Elena! Please have mercy on me! I know now that I shouldn't have tried to oppose you. I shouldn't have driven a wedge into your relationship with the Corleone brothers…"I managed

Matteo scoffed. "As expected, you're just jealous of Sophia. Is this really necessary, Elena? We were together for two decades. Sophia will never replace you. There will always be a place for you in the Corleone family."Antonio stepped forward and grasped my wrist. "Stop being difficult. Let's go home. I'll explain to the Rossi family."He was kicked away the moment the words left his lips.Before I could process what had just happened, someone pulled me into their embrace.The faint fragrance of sandalwood permeated my senses, immediately calming my hammering heart.I looked up.Marco's features were much more exquisite in person compared to the photos Gloria sent me. He lowered his gaze, looking at me gently before turning to stare at Antonio and Matteo."The lady of the Rossi family doesn't need your charity. She will also not be threatened by you," he said, tightening his hold on my hand.The warmth that radiated from his palm filled me with strength.I squeezed Marco's h

"Are you really getting married, Elena?" Antonio asked in a trembling voice that reminded me of the first time he told me he loved me.His voice also had been shaking at the time. "My biggest wish is to marry you, Elena," he had said under the starry sky. "You don't need to give me an answer right now. I'll wait for you forever."We ended up waiting for two decades, but we didn't end up with each other.Matteo was more direct in his words because of his short temper."Drop the act, Elena! I don't believe that you'll marry someone else. You're just an orphan without a family. The Rossi family will never approve of you. You're just using a different tactic to catch our attention, aren't you? I won't fall for your tricks!"Although his words were harsh, his eyes had already reddened.I was reminded of the past when we played together. Antonio and Matteo had argued over who would be my groom after I put on the white dress Maria had just bought for me, pretending it was a wedding

The other members of the family rushed me to the hospital.Fortunately, Matteo hadn't broken my ankle.The next day, I dragged my extremely swollen ankle to the airport and boarded the plane that would fly me to Las Mirabella. I didn't look back even once.Three days later, headlines of the successor of the Rossi family getting married out of the blue were all over the news.Matteo sent a message to me, asking, "Did you run away from home again? I've forgiven you. Come back now."Antonio also blew up my phone with a barrage of calls."Where are you, Elena? Why does the wife of the successor of the Rossi family share the same name as you?"I blocked both their numbers while looking at my marriage certificate. I then lay on the couch and posted on Instagram about my marriage.Mamma looked utterly heartbroken as she pressed an ice pack to my ankle. "How on earth did you end up like this? We have no choice but to postpone the wedding because of your ankle. You're lucky that Mrs. Ro

I returned to the Corleone family, wanting to bid farewell to some of the members with whom I had built a good rapport.A Soldato shot a strange look at me before asking, "What are you doing here, Ms. Zanelli?""Why shouldn't I be here?" I asked."Mr. Antonio ordered us not to let you participate in the family business."He hesitated for a moment before adding in a low voice, "Also, the family members who were close to you were sent abroad by Ms. Volpe. The ones who were left behind are too scared to talk to you now.""Where's Antonio? Tell him that I'm here to see him.""Please wait a moment."I ended up waiting at the entrance for four hours before they finally informed me that Antonio and Sophia had gone to Moramo.Everyone looked at me strangely as I muttered to myself.It turned out that they had gone to the beach that I had brought up countless times in the past.I had always wanted to visit Solena Beach, but I never got the chance.I dropped my gaze. I had been worryi
