Chapter 7

Author: Green Apple
Giovanni held my hand tightly, his gaze gentle. "The lottery wasn't my family's idea. It was actually me who arranged it. I wanted you to see Riccardo's true colors, and I also wanted to satisfy my own selfish desire to keep you by my side."

He paused, his voice growing more solemn. "Marcella, I hope this marriage will be a new beginning for us. But if you cannot come to love me, I won't force you.

"We can try this marriage for a year. If you still cannot let go of the past, I will set you free and ensure you live comfortably for the rest of your life."

My heart trembled as I looked into his sincere eyes.

"Gio, w-why are you being so good to me?" I asked in a voice choked with emotion.

He smiled softly and ruffled my hair. "Because you deserve it. Your kindness that year saved my life and also my heart."

That night, we talked until sunrise.

The proposal of a trial marriage made me feel respected and added a sense of anticipation to this union. It was then that a tender feeling—s

  • Route Change, Groom Change   Chapter 8

    A month later, with Giovanni's birthday approaching, Violetta and I went to a boutique to pick out a watch.Hoping to have one custom-made just for him, I spotted a dial I liked and was about to ask the sales assistant to show it to me when a pair of hands reached from behind and gently took hold of mine.I turned around and found Riccardo staring intently at me."Marcella, I refuse to believe you've lost all feelings for me," he said softly. I stepped back and replied coldly, "Riccardo, we're long over, so stop pestering me."He grabbed my arm agitatedly. "We grew up together and were engaged! Have you forgotten our promises? Do you really expect me to believe you're in love with a dying man?"I pushed him away and chuckled. "Promises? You and Gabriele conspired to drug me, so that you could marry Elena and keep me as your mistress."Riccardo, what you call love is nothing but selfish possessiveness. You're just bitter because you can't stand seeing me happy now!"Riccardo ch

    After the ceremony, staff members led us to change into the attire for the toast.Giovanni had prepared several dresses designed for ease of movement. Not only were the airy skirts tailored to my figure, but they were also embroidered with my favorite flower, the lily of the valley, in the details.After I changed, the table was already filled with exquisite desserts. There were all my favorites like chocolate tarts and lemon mousse.I took a bite of the mousse and froze. Wait, how did he know what I liked?Violetta clicked her tongue in amazement. "Marcella, Giovanni is incredibly thoughtful, isn't it? Even the desserts are your favorites! The Alonzi family seems pretty decent, not at all like the terrifying mafia stories you hear about."I smiled, curiosity stirring within me.Why was Giovanni, rumored to be cold-blooded and ruthless, being so considerate toward me?During the toast, Giovanni stayed by my side, softly introducing each guest. "This is the executive director of

    Pointing at Riccardo, Violetta cursed him with such intensity that she seemed ready to tear him apart.The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew. Despite wearing high heels and without a care if she might be exposed, she aimed a hard kick straight at his groin.Riccardo collapsed to the ground, clutching himself in agony.As the auspicious hour struck, the entire procession of vehicles let out a simultaneous blast of their horns.Violetta shot Riccardo one last glare before hurrying into the car.Gritting through the pain, Riccardo watched as my bridal car drove past him.Tears streamed down his face as he was completely consumed by regret. He shouted toward the bridal car, "Marcella, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Blame it all on me!"His cries of remorse were drowned out by the thunderous roar of celebratory fireworks, and in that moment, the bond we had shared for over a decade came to a final, definitive end.Inside the bridal car, I clutched tightly at my wedding

    Riccardo turned and shoved open the glass door of the jewelry store. Then, he stormed toward the SUV parked on the street and yanked the door open.After he jumped into the driver's seat, Elena paused briefly before quickly following and slipping into the passenger seat."Riccardo, just let it go. We shouldn't stoop to her level," she said softly.But Riccardo ignored her and slammed his foot on the accelerator. The SUV roared onto the street, speeding straight toward the sidewalk where Violetta and I were standing."Marcella, watch out!" Violetta screamed, pulling me backward.However, the SUV was moving too fast, its tires screeching sharply against the pavement as it hurtled toward us. Violetta and I were forced against the roadside barrier with nowhere to retreat, our hearts almost stopping in terror.At the critical moment, a black Maybach sped in from the side and executed a precise drift to block the SUV's path. Riccardo slammed on the brakes with a piercing screech, and t

    I instructed one of my household staff, Sofia Bianchi, to burn the wedding dress Riccardo had thrown aside on the spot.Gabriel hesitated, his words caught in his throat. "Marcella, I never imagined things would turn out this way."I scoffed at him and said, "You abandoned me the moment you chose Elena. From now on, I have nothing to do with this family anymore. I only hope you'll treat Mamma kindly after I leave."Gabriel sighed and closed my door.The thought of having to marry the rumored-to-be cruel, cold-blooded, and merciless Giovanni tomorrow filled me with deep sorrow.Marrying into the Alonzi family would be a stain I could never erase in this lifetime, and there was no guarantee I might even make it out alive.I turned to Violetta Bellario, who was supposed to be my maid of honor, and whispered, "Violetta, perhaps you shouldn't attend my wedding with Braig. Getting involved with the Alonzi family won't do you any good."Violetta wiped away her tears. Upon hearing my wo
