Playing Dead to Leave the Don Chapter 8
Only Luca's eyes seemed unchanged, still filled with the love and longing he held for me.His black suit hung loosely on his frame, making him look like an old man nearing the end of his days.Raffaele hadn't expected Luca to show up so soon.He was just about to step in front of me when I gently pushed him aside. I said, "It's fine. He won't dare to do anything to me. Not unless he really wants to watch me die right in front of him."Luca's body stiffened, genuine pain spreading across his face."I would never hurt you, my love. I'm just so happy to see you alive."I asked Raffaele to leave, choosing to face the man I'd once loved so deeply, but who had ultimately betrayed me.Yet, I felt nothing but calm.The past three years had not been kind to Luca.After news of my death shattered him, he became obsessed with searching for any trace I left behind.In doing so, he neglected the power struggles within the family.He sat out one internal conflict after another, until even

Here, I was no longer Luca Romano's wife. I no longer had to struggle alone at night with the pain of discovering my husband's betrayal.After handling my case, Vesper Group temporarily withdrew from Vardessa.That was how I unexpectedly got to know Raffaele Falcone, one of the company's founders.At first, he thought my case was a little too risky. The pay was high, but he also wanted to make sure I wouldn't have second thoughts and regret my decision.Besides, I'd been in pretty poor shape at the time.Worried that something might happen to me living alone in an unfamiliar place, he decided to become my neighbor.What he didn't know was that I'd spent the first five years of my life living in a little town just like this, with my grandfather and his family.I'd always missed that simple, peaceful way of life.Now that I'd returned, I felt perfectly at home.At first, Raffaele would only linger outside my garden. That was until the day he saw me painting in the yard.Captiva

The burns covering Luca's body throbbed with searing pain.His heart sank further with each passing moment.Just being licked by the flames had left him covered in painful injuries.How much worse must it have been for me, having stayed in that inferno until the very end?Giulia rushed over and threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "Sweetheart! How are you feeling?"The moment Luca heard her cloying voice, he shoved her away without saying a single word and tried to get out of his hospital bed.Giulia burst into tears and wrapped her arms around his waist."You're badly injured! The doctor said you need to stay here and rest."Luca pushed her impatiently once more, his tone icy."Get lost! I need to find Laura. I need to find my wife!"Giulia's expression froze, but instead of giving up, she reached for his clothes again."Laura is already dead! But you still have me!"She deliberately revealed the sexy camisole beneath her clothes, trying to tempt him with her youthful bod

Luca's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to charge into the villa, screaming my name."Laura! No! She's still inside! I need to save her!"Marco clung to Luca's waist with all his might, desperately holding him back. Staring at the villa engulfed in flames, he said in a trembling voice, "No! You can't go in there, Don Romano! It's too dangerous!"The fear of losing me completely overwhelmed Luca. He couldn't even think straight anymore.He kicked Marco and charged toward the inferno without a second thought.No! He had to save me!I was still waiting for him inside!Just like all those years ago, when he'd desperately smashed down the attic door and found a young woman lying on the floor, barely clinging to life.Back then, he'd sworn to himself that he'd protect me for the rest of my life. He would never let anyone hurt me again.His affair with Giulia had only happened because she reminded him of me. She was like the version of me who had never been hurt before.That was why

Over the phone, Luca affectionately said, "Your wish is my command, my love. I've been looking forward to that day for ages."A second person's breathing suddenly came over the line.At the same time, Luca clenched his teeth, his voice hitching slightly."Laura, I need to go. Once I'm done handling the family, I'll come back tomorrow to spend time with you."The moment he hung up, he reached beneath his desk and hauled Giulia to her feet.His expression darkened.The woman wore the adoring smile he liked, but his voice remained icy."I warned you. I'll give you anything you ask for, but there's one rule you must never break—my wife must never find out about us."A hint of resentment flashed in Giulia's eyes.She ran her hands over his chest, her voice coy and teasing. "But I'm so much younger than her…"Luca suddenly grabbed her throat, his gaze cold like a predator sizing up its prey."Laura is the only woman who will ever be my wife. You'd better remember that."Luca thou

I clenched my fists and snapped, "Giulia, is this how you repay me?"Giulia Valenti was the daughter of my father's second wife, making her my stepsister.After my father and stepmother died tragically, 12-year-old Giulia had been left behind in their home, forgotten by everyone.I couldn't bear to leave her there, so I brought Luca with me to rescue her. Then, we raised her for the next seven years.I never imagined that this was how she would repay me after coming of age—by becoming my husband's mistress!Giulia's voice on the other end of the line was smug and unapologetic."Oh, Laura. Don't make it sound so terrible."Her voice was sickeningly sweet, but her words were like poison."It's your husband who can't get enough of my young, energetic body!"He even told me that he can never completely let go when he's with you. I'm the only one who can truly satisfy him."The suffocating feeling in my chest grew. I pressed a hand against it, struggling to keep the cruel truth fr
