Playing Dead and Breaking the Don-To-Be Chapter 9
Vincenzo's persistence never stopped, but he tried a different approach.He no longer shouted for me to acknowledge him. He didn't try to break into my office or apartment anymore.Every morning, there was a fresh white rose waiting outside my building, tied with a small note that read, "Scusa."At night, he would watch from a shadowed corner as I walked into my apartment. He wouldn't speak to me or come closer."Signorina, should I make him leave?" my bodyguard asked every time.I shook my head.I never touched the roses or opened the notes, yet seeing him grow thinner stirred something complicated inside me.One evening, after a long event, I was about to get into my car when a scream cut through the crowd. "Watch out!"A black car came roaring from the side, moving impossibly fast.I shut my eyes instinctively.In the chaos, a dark figure lunged at me, pushing me out of the car's path.It was Vincenzo.The car hit him with a sickening thud. He went down hard, and blood b

Ella's POVTwo weeks later, I was at a business summit in Norvale. Out of nowhere, I felt a familiar gaze on me.I turned, and there was Vincenzo.He wore a black coat, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked utterly haggard.He stared at me with a wild obsession burning in his gaze.My heart sank, and I instinctively tried to step away, but he was already striding toward me."Ella!" he shouted, his voice cutting through the chatter. "It's really you! You're not dead!"Everyone around turned to look. Their gazes were full of curiosity and scrutiny.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down."Signor, you've got the wrong person," I said coldly. "I'm Luna Kane, not Ella.""Wrong person?" Vincenzo laughed. His voice dripped with madness."You can change your name, your hair, everything, but I know you. I'll never forget your eyes, your nose, and the corner of your mouth."He reached for my hand, but I stepped back. My bodyguards moved in and blo

The Camorra family refused to back down. The war escalated, shaking the Eldorian underworld to its core.Vincenzo led the strike himself, taking down their main hideout.When he stormed the villa, the Camorra family's elders were trying to flee through secret passages, but his men blocked every exit."Vincenzo, don't go too far!" the lead elder barked, his bravado thin and trembling. "Aren't you afraid your family will fall with us?""Fall with you?" Vincenzo laughed. His voice was dripping with mockery. "I stopped caring the day Ella died. This family and its businesses mean nothing to me now."He raised his hand, and his men shoved the elders to the floor."I want to know something. Was my Papa involved in Sofia's fake pregnancy and the plot against Ella?"The elders froze. Nobody dared answer.Vincenzo took a step forward and pulled out a gun. He pressed it to the temple of the lead elder. "Answer me!""Si! It was Don Costa's idea!" the elder stammered, pale with terror. "H

Vincenzo meant every word. That same day, he mobilized the full force of the Costa family. One team investigated the fire. Another dug into Sofia's so-called miscarriage.The first crack appeared in the hospital records.When Sofia claimed she had a 102-degree fever and signs of a miscarriage, she was treated at the Costa family's private hospital.Vincenzo ordered all the records from that day pulled, but there was no registration under her name and no record of any doctor treating her for a miscarriage caused by a high fever.He had the doctor Sofia named dragged in. The man tried to lie until Vincenzo's men pinned him to the wall and pressed a blade to his throat."S-Signorina Camorra told me to lie!" the doctor stammered. "She said if I admitted to treating her and confirming her pregnancy and miscarriage, she'd give me a large sum of money! I never even examined her. Those diagnoses were all fake!"Vincenzo stared at the empty medical file in his hand, and his knuckles turne

Third-person POVMeanwhile, in the ward, Vincenzo sat on the edge of the bed. His hand was clenched tightly in Sofia's grip.She had just let a few fake tears fall, then snuggled closer. "Vincenzo, I'm still a little scared. Can you stay with me a bit longer?"He patted her hand half-heartedly, but his gaze kept drifting toward the window. His mind was consumed by the look of utter despair in Ella's eyes as his men dragged her away.He felt uneasy, but he kept telling himself it was necessary.If he hadn't done that, the family elders would have executed her on the spot.Punishing her and locking her up was just a temporary measure. Once things settled, he could make things right with her.After all, Ella loved him so much. She would understand.Eight years ago, she had endured the family's cruelty with him. She could wait a little longer.Once he secured his position, he could openly marry her and never let her suffer again."Vincenzo? What's on your mind?" Sofia's voice pul

Early the next morning, I was still resting when a group of black-suited bodyguards burst in.Without a word, they grabbed me and started hauling me out."What are you doing? Let go!" I struggled, but it was useless against their overwhelming strength.In the end, they threw me into the Costa family's council room. The elders of both the Costa and Camorra families were seated there.The lead elder looked at me. His gaze was ice-cold. "Ella Pezzano, you're just a slum orphan who somehow earned Vincenzo's pity. You should've been grateful and stayed in your place!"But you were ignorant and ungrateful. You kept going after Sofia. Last night, you even poisoned her food and caused a miscarriage! Do you admit what you've done?""I didn't do that!" I wrenched free from the guards and scanned everyone in the room before my gaze landed on Vincenzo."The miscarriage has nothing to do with me. I never harmed Sofia. You can't condemn me based on assumptions!"My voice trembled, not from f
