Chapter 5

作者: Yulansa
When they carried the coffin out through the estate's secret passage, a grand handover ceremony was underway at the docks.

On one side were fluttering streamers and towers of champagne glasses.

On the other were a solemn hearse and a road covered in white roses.

The two processions were a whole city apart, each headed toward the ending that had been decided for them long ago.

Nearly two days later, Marco drove beside the hearse himself.

Once they were out of the city, he kept looking up at the s

  • The Don Made Me Fake My Death, Then Lost Me Forever   Chapter 10

    After my funeral, Dante Cordano issued a statement that shocked people on both sides of the law.The statement spelled everything out.The new Don admitted that he had forced Chiara Gariboldi, the daughter of his sworn enemy, to stay by his side by threatening to destroy her family, all so he could rescue the woman he loved. Then, while pretending to dote on Chiara, he had used her as live bait to draw out his enemies.Chiara Gariboldi had never wanted the Cordano family's power, nor had she ever betrayed her own family.Her death wasn't an act of loyalty to any man.The Don, her former love, and her own family had driven her to it, step by step.The statement spread everywhere.The eulogy Marco had prepared for me became a joke.The people who had once praised him for swallowing his pride for the family now cursed him for selling out his fiancée for profit.The council of elders joined forces to remove my father, forcing him to hand over all his power and leaving him idle at home.My

    In the end, Dante didn't bury me in any family's plot.He bought an entire cliff outside the city and buried me where I could watch the sunrise.There was no Cordano family crest on my headstone and no Gariboldi name either.Only one word was carved there.Chiara.On the day of the burial, a light rain fell over Vienna.Dante wanted to give me the grandest funeral imaginable, but the elders of the four families stood outside the church and objected, "She's still a Gariboldi, after all."She never had any official standing. How can she be buried with Cordano family honors?"Dante asked, "When I snatched her out of her engagement party, why didn't any of you bring up the rules then?"No one answered.Back then, the Gariboldi family was weak, and Marco didn't dare fight back.The elders hadn't wanted to cross the new Don over a woman, either.Everyone said I was just a woman.Now that I was dead, they suddenly remembered the rules.Dante didn't insist on giving me the family honors.Not b

    After sunrise, Isabella arrived at the cemetery.She'd traded her gown for a plain black dress.When she saw me, she stopped outside the cemetery gates and didn't come any closer.Dante had kept watch over me all night, and his eyes were bloodshot."What are you doing here?" Dante asked."Everyone at the estate is waiting for you," Isabella said. Then she added softly, "The celebration is over."Dante looked up."She's dead."Isabella paled."I know."But her death has nothing to do with me.""Nothing to do with you?" Dante echoed.He looked at her as though he were seeing her for the first time.Isabella gripped her sleeves."She bought the cyanide herself."She injected the poison herself."Dante, I didn't make her do it."I only wanted back what belonged to me."In a quiet voice, Dante asked, "What belonged to you?""The title of Donna of the Cordano family," Isabella said. "The floating casino. And you."Dante said, "But that casino was designed for her in the first place."It was

    Dante didn't go back to the estate.He had the entire cemetery sealed off and summoned all the top doctors from the four families that same night.The lights burned all night.The doctors took turns injecting me with antidotes and performing CPR.My mother couldn't bear to watch anymore. Sobbing, she collapsed in front of Dante. "Don Cordano, let her rest in peace."Dante didn't look up. "She's only been poisoned."There has to be a way to neutralize it."An elderly doctor stepped forward, trembling, his head bowed low. "The cyanide has been in her system too long. Her heart and lungs have completely failed."Not even God himself could bring her back."Dante finally went quiet.He sat beside me and wiped away the blood left on my lips after the doctors' attempts to revive me.When I'd been shot, he'd cared for me the same way.Back then, I was in so much pain I could barely think. I clung to his hand and asked, "Will you leave me?"He said no.I believed him.But now, when he tried to

    By the time Dante got to the cemetery, it was already dark.He hadn't even changed out of his formal clothes. A white rose from the celebration was still pinned to his chest.Nothing there looked more out of place than his expensive leather shoes crunching across the debris.Marco sat in front of a headstone, holding me.He hadn't let anyone close the coffin again.My mother knelt beside him, wiping my face again and again.My father stood in the wind, looking as though he'd suddenly aged 20 years.Dante walked over and reached out to touch me.Marco turned away, shielding me."Don't touch her."Dante's hand stopped in midair."Give her to me.""She's not yours," Marco said."She lived in my house for three years," Dante said."Those were three years you stole from me," Marco shot back.Marco looked up, his eyes bloodshot."She's my fiancée."Dante stared at him, then asked, "If you really thought of her as your fiancée, why did you personally send her off to negotiate?"Marco stiffene

If anyone sees her wake up, everything we planned will be for nothing."Marco ignored him.He couldn't wait any longer.He pried out the coffin nails himself and pushed the lid aside.I lay there quietly, my hands folded over my chest, as pale
