เข้าสู่ระบบMy younger sister, Sofia Moretti, and I grow up on milk. While our peers are showing no signs of growth, both of us are blessed with an early puberty. Our father, a mafia Don, is worried that we might get tricked into giving our bodies away to young men at an early age, so he has been nurturing two confidants for us when we were still kids. After we come of age, Dad makes each of us choose one as a fiancé. Sofia is the first one to pick Dante, the tall, well-built, and cold-looking older brother. The only choice I have left is Luca, the younger brother who has gotten partially disfigured by an enemy and often wakes up in fright due to the nightmares. In my previous life, I knew that once I rejected Luca, who had PTSD from his past, he'd definitely get kicked out of my family. No one would be able to protect him anymore. So, I took the initiative to accept the marriage proposal. Since Luca tended to jolt awake from his nightmares and tremble violently, I moved to the room next door so that I could guard his door at all times. Whenever Luca was insulted or mocked by my uncles and relatives at family meetings, I'd dig out my pistol and slap it onto the table to shut them up. I spent three years accompanying Luca to therapy sessions. That was how I learned to pick up on every symptom he exhibited before he went into his anxiety mode. I thought I'd be able to touch Luca's heart by offering him my own. But when an enemy family set up a trap that resulted in my and Sofia's kidnapping, they plunged poisonous blades through our stomachs and forced Luca to choose to only save one of us with an antidote. That was when Luca gave the antidote to Sofia without hesitation. "Sorry, but Sofia needs the antidote more than you do." It turned out that Luca had been in love with Sofia this whole time. After Luca picked Sofia up and was about to leave, he murmured to me, "If there ever is a next lifetime, I'll use my life to pay this debt." My final memory of that lifetime consisted of the scorching pain that ate through my organs left behind by the poison. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day I'm supposed to pick out my fiance.

Now you're going to pay for it."A commotion broke out from the depths of the ballroom. The Moretti family members were being escorted out of the corner by the bodyguards.Papa broke free from the bodyguards' grip and dropped to his knees in front of Leonardo.Then, he pressed his forehead to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Don Castro, Sofia was only six years old then and didn't know any better. This is all my fault. I failed to raise her properly. Please spare her. I'll take all the punishment."Leonardo looked down at him. The fury in his eyes had finally burned through his unshakeable composure."You love Sofia. So what? I don't love Cecilia? She was locked inside a shipping container for 48 hours, and there wasn't a single inch of her skin left unharmed. Yet, what were you doing?"You were at the hospital, dotin
The surgical specialists Leonardo had brought in spent three weeks repairing my legs.At this moment, I stood beside him in high heels. Even though my lower legs were still slightly numb, I was nonetheless steady on my feet.The lights in the ballroom dimmed for an instant, and every pair of eyes turned toward the entrance.Leonardo took my hand and led me down the sweeping, curved staircase.He wore a black three-piece suit, his expression cold and imposing. The sheer force of his presence made the nearest guest subconsciously step back half a pace.The entire room fell silent for two seconds.Then, Leonardo spoke. His voice wasn't loud, yet every word rang clear through the ballroom."This is my wife, Cecilia Castro." He paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone present. "From today onward, she is also your Donna."Applause began from the front and spread rapidly through the entire ballroom.From a corner came a stifled, involuntary gasp.It was Luca.At some point, he had
In the master bedroom of Leonardo's estate, the doctor had just finished packing up his instruments. He then nodded at Leonardo and quietly left.I leaned against the headboard, my body wrapped in three layers of bandages. Not a single inch of exposed skin was unharmed.Leonardo walked over with a mug of warm milk. He bent down and put it in my hand. I could feel the warmth of his palm through the ceramic.He sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me, blanket and all. Then, his chin came to rest atop my head."Cecilia, everything's ready."Leonardo was Euvoria's untouchable Don, the undisputed number one.Three years ago, he took two bullets in an ambush. I was the one who stopped the bleeding, stitched him up, and stayed by his side for 48 hours inside a shipping container at the docks.He said my strong will to live had saved his life. From that day on, he was certain I was the one.Leonardo had confessed his feelings to me more than once. But every time, I turned hi
Leonardo lifted me in his arms, cradling me gently as if I were something that might shatter at any moment.The heater in the back seat had already been turned to its highest setting. He placed me inside and wrapped a blanket around my still-convulsing body.As he turned, he said three words to the head of his security detail, "Kill them all."Behind me came the sound of a short burst of gunfire, dull thuds, and the crack of breaking bones. Then, the smell of blood filled the air, growing thicker by the second.I didn't look back.As I leaned against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, I used the last bit of strength I had to speak."Leonardo, cut off all funding channels of the Moretti family. Freeze everything—banks, underground remittance rings, and offshore accounts."He looked down at me and didn't ask why."I want them to disappear from this city completely within three days!" I added.He tightened his arm around me, pressing his chin against my fo
