Chapter 8

Author: Knit Knot
Stefano stood outside my room for a long time until someone finally invited him to leave the premises.

Given his usual temperament, he would have walked away much earlier. In fact, I never expected him to be so persistent.

Even late into the night, he remained standing there, unmoving.

"Principessa Anita, won't you go down? Don Marino is still waiting for you."

I shook my head. "If he wants to stand there, let him. He'll leave when he gets tired."

Sure enough, just a few minutes after I sai

  • Reborn and Ruthless: I Won't Save the Don   Chapter 10

    I stood up and walked away, and this time, Stefano didn't try to stop me.Only after a long while did he murmur to himself, "It definitely wasn't like this before, so why has everything changed?"…The next day, I took the initiative to tell Fabio about what happened to the necklace. I expected him to be very angry or perhaps to take me to have a new one custom-made.Instead, he pulled out a ring engraved with a flame insignia and said, "Anita, our relationship should change with this. Will you marry me?"I could hardly believe what I was seeing, and with tears in my eyes, I nodded.On the day of my wedding to Fabio, Stefano showed up holding a bouquet of sunflowers.Dressed in formal attire, he stood before me and said, "Anita, I remember when we were young, you told me you hoped to have sunflowers as the theme of our wedding."After gazing at the sunflowers blooming brightly before me, I gently plucked a petal and watched it drift away with the wind.Stefano hadn't remembere

  • Reborn and Ruthless: I Won't Save the Don   Chapter 9

    In the days that followed, I began learning how to manage the family.After hearing the rumors circulating outside, I made the surveillance footage public. And in just one day, my reputation and Anna's underwent a complete reversal.Anna was scorned by everyone. Dad publicly severed ties with her, leaving her with no choice but to beg Stefano to take her in by appealing to the debt he owed her for saving his life.As for me, when someone anonymously sent me those so-called rumors about Fabio, I tossed them into the fireplace without a second thought.For a Don, a fearsome reputation was more of a compliment than a stain. Besides, having been wrongly accused myself, I trusted what I saw with my own eyes more than any hearsay.At the end of the day, all that truly mattered was that we lived our lives well.As for Stefano, I saw him again late one night. He had been drinking, and for some reason, he brought his soldati to our estate and refused to leave.Dad had no choice but to as

Don Marino is still waiting for you."I shook my head. "If he wants to stand there, let him. He'll leave when he gets tired."Sure enough, just a few minutes after I said that, my soldato came to report that Stefano had left.After the surveillance footage was made public, Dad felt so sorry for me that he cut off all contact with the Marino family, severing any further dealings with them.Our families had been allies for generations, so that sudden break sent shockwaves through the underworld. After all, not only was the wedding abruptly canceled, but even our longstanding relations had been severed.Some insiders leaked rumors claiming I was scheming and je

    Right after the wedding was canceled, Anna was deeply unhappy. At first, Stefano would still try to cheer her up, promising that the next ceremony would be even grander and that her gown would be redesigned by a renowned designer.He also bought her plenty of jewelry, but she remained unsatisfied and kept wanting more.Eventually, Stefano's patience wore thin. "Anna, since when did you become so greedy?"Anna's expression froze, but then she quickly put on her pitiful act."I just feel so bad for you that the wedding you put so much effort into was ruined by Anita."Hearing this, Stefano softened again. "Let's not bring this up anymore. I already punished Anita for you, so just let it go."When Anna heard him say that, her face twisted with rage.Just that little bit of punishment was far from enough! In fact, Anna wanted nothing less than for me to be despised by everyone.Why was I handed everything from birth, while Anna had to trade her parents' lives just to obtain any of

    The surveillance footage would take some time to restore, so Fabio arranged for a medical team to come and treat my wounds. During that interval, the two of us exchanged a few words.It was only then that I learned Fabio and I had actually attended the same school and were even part of the same club. Back then, though, I was so fixated on Stefano that I never noticed someone like Fabio.Over on the other side, Anna grew visibly uneasy. She approached Stefano and said, "Stefano, I can just wear one of the backup wedding gowns. You had several custom-made for me—I'll simply change into another."Besides, the guests are all here today, so let's just go ahead with the ceremony."But Stefano didn't see it that way. His gaze remained fixed on Fabio and me, and he even evaded Anna's hand when she reached for him.He felt an inexplicable irritation, resenting this sensation of things slipping beyond his control.When he looked down and saw Anna's pitiful expression, another wave of unexp

    It was Fabio Genovese!With trembling hands, I tried to struggle out of his embrace. I didn't want him to make an enemy of Stefano on my account.But instead, Fabio took off his coat and wrapped it around my nearly exposed body. After making sure I was completely covered, he scooped me up into his arms and carried me away.Only when we passed Stefano did he spare him a brief glance."I'm Anita's boyfriend. From now on, I suggest you show some self-respect, Don Marino."Stefano's gaze darkened as he stared intently at Fabio carrying me away.When Fabio had walked over, he could clearly see that the necklace around Fabio's neck was identical to mine.Anna approached and called out softly, "Stefano."In an instant, Stefano's expression shifted, and his gaze softened considerably. He patted the back of Anna's hand, then took a few steps forward."Anita has certainly become bold. Now, she's even scheming to bring outsiders in to back her up. I just wonder where she found that perso
