    Valentina's POVMy right hand underwent three surgeries, and I spent five months in a rehabilitation center in New Troy. Every night, when the pain woke me, I went up to the rooftop to clear my head. That was where I met Sergio Lombardi. He had broken his leg in a ski race, yet he still sneaked onto the rooftop for a drink, making sure his doctors didn't find out. I asked if he had won. "Of course. I won by just 0.01 seconds," he answered with a cocky grin. "I could never lose, Valentina."On the day I was discharged, Sergio handed me a love letter, his cheeks flushed. For the first time in a long while, my heart seemed to stir. Later, I learned that he was the youngest son of a mafia family in New Troy, raised under the Lombardis' watchful eyes. Whenever he spoke of the family business, his eyes glinted with eagerness.I was drawn to Sergio, but the ghosts of my past kept me at arm's length. After that, I took a part-time job at a piano academy, and he picked me up afte

    Third-person POVSilvia panicked and tried to bolt back to her room. However, Antonio caught up with her in just a few strides and seized her wrist.Her body shook uncontrollably as she struggled with all her might, tears streaming down her cheeks. Antonio tightened his grip, his voice firm as he tried to reassure her. "Don't be afraid, Silvia. He hurt you. I was only teaching him a lesson.""N-No! That's not what happened!" Silvia stared at him. "That day, it was Valentina who saved me. They were trying to hurt me, and she shielded me behind her! She's such a good person. How could I ever betray her?"A flicker of panic crossed Antonio's eyes. Clearly, Silvia knew now she was his lover. Still, he tried to explain. "I didn't mean to lie to you. Now, you're the only one I—"Silvia shook her head desperately and broke free from his grip. "Do you know why Valentina went to the church that day?""Why?" Antonio asked, a sense of dread rising within him. "She went there to pray f

    Third-person POVThe next day, Antonio accompanied Silvia to her prenatal checkup. On the drive back, she ventured the question gently. "Antonio, the doctor says the baby's doing well. Does that mean we can finally have the wedding?"In the past, he would have been over the moon. But now, he felt a flicker of irritation. Antonio lowered his head and pressed a kiss to the top of Silvia's head. "I've been busy with the casino lately. Has this been hard on you?""I just want to know when we'll get married."Silvia looked up at him, her eyes clouded with sadness. She added, "If you don't love me… I can leave."Antonio fell silent for a moment, then replied without much thought, "Next week. We'll have the ceremony next week. Don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself and the baby, okay?"…Back at the casino, Silvia slipped into the records vault while Antonio was in a meeting. None of the guards dared stop her.But no matter how thoroughly she searched, she couldn't find

Right then, a sound playing from the store attendant's phone caught his attention. "Excuse me. May I see that?" he asked.The store attendant looked up in surprise and hesitated for a beat before handing the phone to Antonio. It was a viral video with millions of likes. At the center of the recital hall, a woman in a striking red dress played "The Evermore Marriage", her focus absolute. She was like a rose in full bloom, fierce and radiant.No matter how grainy the footage was, Antonio recognized her at once. It was Valentina. He could hear his heart hammering in his chest as one memory after another of Valentina came rushing back. The first time they met, Antonio was covered in blood, and she appeared in a white dress, like an angel stepping into his darkness. She was only 18 then. Later, he had risked his life to keep her in the underwo

    Third-person POVSilvia looked like a deer in headlights. She lifted her head in panic, and her eyes locked with Antonio's, cold and unyielding. "I-I'm sorry…" she stammered. "I just wanted to come in and have a look. The guy at the door said no one lives here."Antonio's gaze fell on the press-on nail on the floor. It was something Valentina had made herself. The nails were paper-thin, yet inside they hid a clever mechanism. They were sharp enough to slice through skin or even thin metal. In fact, it wasn't just these press-on nails. Valentina's earrings, hairpins, and even a single lipstick could conceal a deadly mechanism. Her skills as a gunwoman had never been in question. Antonio saw the unease in Silvia's eyes, and his expression gradually softened. Then, he stepped forward before gently pulling her into his arms. "I'm not upset with you. These were my late wife's things. If you like them, I can have a new set made just for you," he reassured her.Silvia looked up,

    Third-person POVIn the VIP ward, Antonio dropped to one knee the moment Silvia opened her eyes. His palm brushed gently against her cheek, while his gaze was heavy with guilt."It's my fault for not protecting you and for frightening you."Silvia shook her head lightly. Then, as if she had just remembered something, she asked, "What about Ms. Romano? The one who was taken with me. How is she?"Antonio pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "Silvia, why are you always so kind? I just like how pure you are."His words made Silvia's cheeks burn, and she forgot entirely to ask about Valentina. …Only after Silvia fell asleep did Antonio leave the room. Outside, he spoke to his men in a cold voice. "Clear out the hilltop estate. Anything that shouldn't be there, throw it out. Silvia will move in as soon as she's discharged."One of his subordinates nodded before handing him a file. "This is the compensation agreement for Ms. Romano. As you instructed, the two c
