LOGINIn my previous life, I was adopted by a regular family. My younger sister, Regina Capasso, was taken in by a mafia Don, resulting in her becoming the principessa of Etalia's most powerful mafia family. Unexpectedly, Regina is cast out by the Don in her third year of getting adopted. She was forced to roam the streets as a homeless person till the day she died a terrible death. I, on the other hand, got into a prestigious university thanks to my good grades. Then, I furthered my studies with my adoptive older brother, Dario Bivona. With hard work, I eventually became the rising star of the AI industry who was sought out by all. With my adoptive parents' blessings, Dario and I ended up getting married and having our own children. My life was filled with peace and happiness. After we're given a second chance at the same life, Regina makes an entirely different decision. She rushes into Dario's arms and starts calling him by his name sweetly. Then, she takes my ex-parents' hands while gazing at me gloatingly. "You should have a taste of what it feels like to be a principessa, Livia. I seriously can't endure another second in that cruel, unforgiving family!" I look at Dario expectantly, hoping that he'll say something in my defense. But he shields Regina behind him while glaring at me icily. "Stay away from my sister." In the end, I slowly make my way toward the Rolls-Royce as Regina continues to look at me smugly.

Soon after, Pardo and I were summoned to the principal's office.After the school conducted its investigation, it was clear that neither Pardo nor I had cheated. On the contrary, Regina was expelled for spreading rumors and causing a scene at school."Why? It's them! It's their fault! Why should I be expelled?" Regina went wild, attempting to assault the school administrators.Her adoptive parents arrived just in time to pull her away. To avoid causing trouble for Dario, they apologized repeatedly to the school administrators before dragging Regina off, all while muttering curses under their breath.But Regina's outburst quickly spread through the school. As her brother, Dario, became an outcast, subjected to bullying.Dario was so worn out from the bullying that his grades plummeted, leading to a string of warnings from his homeroom teacher.
Gildo realized something was off when I didn't return from the mountain and called Sabele, leading to our rescue.The incident stemmed from a power struggle between the Vicino and Cesa families over arms trafficking.In recent years, the Vicino family had seized several of the Cesa family's smuggling routes, and this latest arms deal was a huge blow to the Cesa family.Furious over the loss, Mancio came to the school to pick a fight with Pardo.Alano made sure to deal with the Cesa family once and for all. He joined forces with other mafia families to take control of all Cesa family resources, avenging both Pardo and me.Pardo spent a month in the hospital, and I took a leave of absence from school to stay with him. During that time, I helped him catch up on high school courses and boxing theory.When Pardo was discharged and returned to school, it happened to coincide with the upcoming exams. After the exams, we walked out of the school gate, only to run into two people I hated—
Pardo had already been severely injured in the car accident, yet he still protected me. If he didn't get treatment soon, his life would be at risk.I couldn't let my thoughts go any further. Unease clouded my mind.After Sabele and I finally got Pardo into the operating room, I felt my racing heart slow down.Suddenly, everything went black, and I lost consciousness.When I woke up, a full day had passed.I opened my eyes and found Imelda sitting beside my hospital bed, holding my hand."Livia, you're finally awake. Do you feel pain anywhere?" she asked.I shook my head and urgently asked, "What about Pardo? How is he?"At the mention of Pardo, Imelda's eyes darkened with a glint of anger."He's in the ICU. The doctors said as long as he wakes up, he'll be fine. This isn't the end. Your papa and I will make sure the Cesa family pays for what they've done."Before I could respond, a doctor entered the room with the news that Pardo had regained consciousness.Imelda and I rush
"Let go of my brother!" I raised the gun and aimed it at the men.Seeing the gun, they slowly backed off. Once they scattered, I rushed forward to pick Pardo up."Pardo, are you okay? I'm getting you out of here." My voice trembled.Thanks to the training I had, I managed to hoist Pardo onto my back. Despite the pain radiating through my body, I rushed down the mountain.I just needed to get to the bottom of the mountain. Once I saw Gildo, we'd be safe.But just when I was a step away from the bottom, I felt a tug from behind me. Someone grabbed Pardo and dragged him back to the ground. His wounds were aggravated, and he coughed up blood, barely able to breathe.I stumbled, struggling to regain my balance, with Pardo still clinging to my neck.I turned to see Mancio's cruel smile. "You really think you can leave?"His men closed in around us and started laughing. A massive, scarred man stepped forward.Although I had trained in boxing, facing this giant was beyond my abilities
