Chapter 10

Cocoa Pudding
Leopoldo's POV:

Vito was utterly unyielding. This was Cheyqua—his territory. Here, the Vece family's name meant nothing.

I had no choice but to turn back to Lucia. "You still love me, don't you? I know you're angry about Raffaello. But all of that was Elena's scheme. I was deceived!

"She's already paid the price. I punished her as a traitor. I even took her kidney... She's dead now! It was all a misunderstanding. Nothing stands between us anymore. Come back with me. We'll remarry!"

As I spoke, I reached out and grabbed Lucia's hand, trying to pull her toward me.

But she wrenched free and slapped me hard across my face.

Then, she said coldly, "I did love you once, but you burned every last bit of it away. My father is dead, and between us, there's nothing left now except hatred.

"Vito is sincere with me, and I've fallen in love with him. I'll never go back with you!"

Lucia had hit me.

In 30 years of my life, anyone who dared treat me this way would already be dust.

  • Ten Years Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 12

    Lucia's POVEarly the next morning, Vito let the maid go.She had been tied up all night. Bruises mottled her skin, and her legs trembled as she walked. Anyone who saw her would assume she had been tossed around in bed for hours.Not long after, I let out a wail and ran out crying.Sure enough, I hadn't gone far before Leopoldo, who had clearly been waiting, stepped out of his car and pulled me into his arms.He asked, "Why are you crying? Did Vito do something to hurt you? Tell me. I'll make him pay. I told you he wasn't someone you could trust!"I kept my head lowered, my shoulders shaking. "But I've fallen in love with him! Leopoldo, no matter what, I can't let Vito go!"Leopoldo exploded. "You couldn't tolerate me showing Elena even the slightest affection, yet you can accept Vito sleeping with another woman?"It's only been a few months, and you already love him this much? What am I then? What about our ten years together?"I gave a soft, mocking laugh. "Ten years didn't

  • Ten Years Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 11

    Lucia's POV:Vito and I were strolling through the supermarket, pushing a cart like any ordinary couple, when a young woman suddenly rushed out from the end of an aisle and slammed straight into it.Vito immediately crouched down to check on her. "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"The young woman looked up, her eyes instantly filling with tears. She stood up and threw herself straight into Vito's arms, whining softly, "My leg hurts. Sir, could you help me up?"The moment she lifted her face, Vito froze. Seizing that split second, she wrapped her arms around him.He snapped out of it at once, pushed her away, and hurriedly explained to me, "She looks a bit like you. That's why I spaced out for a second. I didn't mean to let her grab me. You believe me, right?"I had seen everything, so of course I didn't misunderstand.What unsettled me was something else entirely.Her face was obviously the result of cosmetic surgery, and the finished look was unnervingly similar to mine.

  • Ten Years Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 9

    Leopoldo's POV:"Your kidney may be useless now," I said flatly. "But it's still a debt you owe Lucia."I spent a fortune helping you, indulging you, and protecting you. Yet you repaid me by hurting the woman I love most. So now, you must repay every bit of pain you caused."At my order, the Soldati restrained the struggling Elena, and the doctors wheeled her into the operating room.Because I had ordered that she be given no anesthesia, inhuman screams poured out of the operating room without pause.The cries of the one responsible dulled the sharp edge of my guilt toward Lucia, if only slightly.Before long, the light above the operating room went out. The doctor stepped outside."The kidney was removed, but Elena didn't make it."Elena died?I froze for a second. Then Raffaello's face surfaced in my mind, and I let out a slow breath."Fine," I said at last. "Call it a debt paid."With that, I left the hospital.From that moment on, Elena ceased to exist in my mind.I th

  • Ten Years Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 8

    Leopoldo's POV:I let out a short, mirthless laugh. Watching Elena maintain that flawless act even now was almost impressive. Then, I grabbed her by the collar and slammed her in front of the giant screen."Look for yourself!" I snapped. "You want me to believe you? Tell me how I'm supposed to."The footage the investigator had uncovered began to play.All the color drained from Elena's face. Her body trembled uncontrollably."N-No… this has to be fake!" she cried. "Lucia staged this! Don Vece, I swear I never did any of that!""Is that so?" I stared at her pitiful expression, my patience long gone. "Even now, you're still trying to pin this on Lucia. You make me sick. Harming the woman I love comes with a price."I ordered coldly, "Soldati, take her."The Soldati brought out the punishment rack and tied Elena down.The baton meant for traitors came down hard on her back. Her flesh split open, and blood sprayed.Her scream tore through the night. She shrieked until her voic

  • Ten Years Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 7

    Leopoldo's POV:Elena's words made me frown instinctively. Something about them felt off. Still, my mind was in no state to dissect her motives. I ended the call and immediately ordered the Soldati to intensify the search for Lucia.At the same time, to counter my Madre's interference, I reached out to Vito Kroos of the Kroos family in Cheyqua."I need your help locating my missing wife," I said. "These are her details."My Madre dislikes her and is blocking every path I take. I have no choice but to ask you for help."Vito didn't agree right away. So I put the Ockdon-Cheyqua tobacco route on the table."If you bring Lucia back to me, that entire line will belong to the Kroos family."Only then did Vito nod.I exhausted every possible avenue that might lead me to Lucia and also contacted one of Ieplad's most well-known private investigators.The logic was simple. The sooner I found her, the higher the chance she might still forgive me.A week crawled by in agony, yet there
