LOGINThe fearsome Romano family has made an announcement. Whoever among me and my sister, Vivienne Everhart, can give birth to the first grandson of the Romano bloodline shall inherit the Romanos' wealth that's worth tens of billions of dollars. Also, said grandson will be the next Don of the Romano family. In my previous life, Vivienne had married Dominic Romano, a healthy and strong young man of the Romano family. My parents were the one who had arranged for this marriage to happen. I, on the other hand, got married to Julian Romano, a gloomy man who was confined to his wheelchair due to his crippled legs. In less than a year after our marriage, Julian had regained his ability to walk once again. At the same time, I got pregnant with the first grandson of the Romano family. As such, Vivienne got abused by Dominic to the point that she completely lost her marbles. That was how she became the laughingstock of the rich socialites of the upper crust. On the day I was about to go into labor, Vivienne stabbed my belly with a blade. Then, she grabbed me before jumping off a tall building with me in her arms. When I open my eyes again, I see Vivienne snatching away the bouquet made of blue roses that's given to me by Julian. "I want to marry Julian!" "Vivienne, how could you snatch Isabella's bouquet away?" As soon as Vivienne receives the fancy blue rose bouquet, she freezes in place when she hears our father scolding her. After Dad grabs the bouquet from Vivienne's hands, he passes it to me before saying, "Isabella, you have a healthy body. Julian might be handicapped, but at least he's pretty talented when it comes to running his business." Then, he pats Vivienne on the head lovingly. "Vivienne, you're in poor health. Marrying Dominic is your best option." As I stare at the blue rose bouquet in my hands as well as the wedding gown I'm currently wearing, I dig my nails into my palm forcefully. Finally, I realize that I've gotten reborn.
View MoreI wore a luxurious white wedding dress that felt as light as a cloud as I walked toward Dominic, who stood waiting in a tailored black suit. His expression was gentle and loving as he watched me with a faint smile.I was nearly by his side when a woman with tangled hair bolted out. It was Vivienne. She looked exhausted and crazy, with a look of pure hatred. A knife gleamed in her hand."What the hell do you think you're doing, Vivienne?" someone yelled.Vivienne, ignoring the outcries of the crowd, lunged toward me, screaming hysterically, "You did this to me, Isabella! I'm going to kill you!"I was startled and instinctively stepped back. Dominic reacted in a flash, striding forward to block her path, placing himself firmly between us. He glared fiercely at Vivienne and barked, "Have you lost your mind, Vivienne?"Vivienne appeared oblivious to Dominic's yelling. She just kept swinging that knife, charging at us with everything she had.Those around us started screaming and ru
Vivienne refused to back down. She joined forces with Julian, intending to orchestrate a scheme against me during the Romano famiglia banquet. They paid off a maid to spike my drink and recruited several vagabonds, hoping reporters would catch me in a staged cheating scandal.That evening, the venue was bathed in brilliant light as the entire famiglia gathered.A maid, holding a tray with two glasses of wine, walked over to Dominic and me. She looked down respectfully, though there was a slight quiver in her voice as she said, "Here's your wine, Mrs. Romano."I feigned ignorance and reached for the wine, but Dominic suddenly stopped me. His piercing gaze swept over the maid, who instantly turned deathly pale.Dominic paid her no attention and took both drinks himself with a chilling smirk. He then turned to everyone and said loudly, "I heard this wine comes from Ms. Vivienne's own collection. How about we invite a professional sommelier to give us a review and tell us what is so
Dominic's recovery surpassed all predictions, and it felt as though he had been reborn. He stopped being a cynical womanizer and came home on time every day. He even checked which meals I preferred so that the kitchen staff could prepare them for me.Watching him go about his tasks, I felt a sense of warmth fill my heart. I realized then that these kinds of days were actually quite pleasant.I was curled up on the couch that evening, reading a book, when the famiglia group chat erupted with activity. I checked it and found the blurry photos Vivienne had posted, showing me in a conversation with a man at a cafe.In reality, that man was merely the assistant dropping off some patient records.Vivienne even wrote a message after sending the photos. "Isabella harbors malicious intent and lacks any affection for the Romano famiglia! She is engaging in clandestine meetings with an unknown man behind Dominic's back!"I frowned as anger flared within me. Vivienne was truly relentless, f
A week after the wedding, I took Dominic back for his follow-up appointment. Dominic lounged on the couch as I efficiently carried out the necessary medical tests. I watched the readings fluctuate on the monitor and nodded in approval. "You're recovering nicely based on the metrics."I was about to pack up and leave after the check-up was over when Dominic suddenly grabbed my hand. He stared intently at me as he took a ring out of his pocket, its diamond shining brightly under the light. "I noticed that you liked this one before, so I got it for you," he said. "It's to make up for not exchanging rings during our wedding."I froze for a moment, my heart fluttering. I was just about to thank him when my phone suddenly rang. I frowned when I found out that it was from Vivienne, but I still picked up the call.Vivienne sounded really smug from the other end of the line. "Julian brought me to a yacht party, Isabella. What about you? Is Dominic still out running around with other wome
