Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Lotus
The items I had listed for sale were quickly bought by an anonymous buyer at an absurdly high price. The villa was also sold within days.

I knew who bought them, but I didn't care anymore. With the money in my hands and only a small suitcase of belongings, I was ready to head to Elyara for a new archaeological project.

Before I left, Margarita patted me on the shoulder. "My position is yours now. At last, I can retire in peace and travel the world."

We both laughed.

Just then, my phone rang.

    The items I had listed for sale were quickly bought by an anonymous buyer at an absurdly high price. The villa was also sold within days.I knew who bought them, but I didn't care anymore. With the money in my hands and only a small suitcase of belongings, I was ready to head to Elyara for a new archaeological project.Before I left, Margarita patted me on the shoulder. "My position is yours now. At last, I can retire in peace and travel the world."We both laughed.Just then, my phone rang. The panicked voice of Antonio's new Consigliere rang out. "Mrs. Rivera! Please come to the hospital. Don Antonio got attacked!"I was about to refuse when Margarita grasped my hand and said, "Go. This may be the last time you'll see him."Gripping my phone, I finally replied, "Alright."In the hospital room, Antonio lay on the bed looking as white as a sheet. His body was wrapped in thick bandages, with blood seeping through them in dark red patches."The stab punctured his kidney," the doc

    The divorce papers were signed surprisingly quickly after that.Antonio didn't show up. Instead, his new Consigliere delivered the paperwork."Mrs. Rivera, Don Antonio said..." the Consigliere hesitated."Call me Isabella," I corrected him, signing my name with precision.He handed me a thick folder."Don Antonio has given you the villa. The penthouse under his name has also been transferred to you. Also, this debit card contains five million dollars. The account is in your name, and the password is your birthday."I looked at the card and took it, but pushed the keys to the villa back."I'll accept the penthouse and the money. As for the villa, sell it for me."The Consigliere looked uncomfortable. "Don Antonio hopes you'll keep it—"I interrupted, "Then tell him that I feel sick every time I see that villa."A few weeks later, the excavation work ended, and I went back to the villa to retrieve the last of my things.Sure enough, the password to the locked cabinets in the w

    Antonio was wearing a suit, but the dark circles under his eyes were unmistakable.The off-road vehicle behind him was packed with new equipment."I suddenly felt a desire to support this archaeological project. This batch of equipment, worth three million dollars, is just a small gesture from me."His expression was serious, but the slap mark on his handsome face hadn't faded yet.I was about to turn him down, but my teammates couldn't resist examining the new equipment."Bella." Antonio walked over to me, holding out a thermal lunchbox.When the lid opened, the rich aroma of seafood hit me. My stomach growled.He looked at me expectantly. "I had the chef deliver it after a three-hour drive. You used to love this. Have some."Without moving, I said calmly, "I'm allergic to seafood. If I even touch it, I break out in rashes."Antonio's hand trembled. He nearly dropped the lunchbox."But you used to make this all the time."Avoiding his gaze, I replied, "That's because you sa

    Luca's tone was hesitant as he reported to Antonio, "Elena handled the death certificate herself. She said you've been upset recently and didn't need to be informed about this. Elena has been handling everything related to Mrs. Rivera…"Antonio spun around, glaring at Elena. "I don't remember giving that order."Elena's face drained of color, but she tried to stay calm. "We were busy with the partnership, Don Antonio, and I didn't want you to be distracted.""Shut up!" Antonio yelled at her. "Give me your phone. I want to see the real medical records."Elena shook her head as she instinctively stepped back, but Antonio yanked her bag from her and pulled out her phone.He finally saw the critical care notifications, as well as the money that supposedly had been requested in my name but transferred to her account instead. There was so much more, like the chat records with me that seemed sweet but were filled with malice.Antonio's gaze turned cold. He instinctively reached for the

    Dragging my small suitcase behind me, I went to see Professor Margarita Accardi. She was a close friend of Mom's.When I gave up pursuing my master's degree in archaeology to marry Antonio, she was the only one who was completely against it.She didn't attend the wedding ceremony, but she sent me a text that day."You're losing more than you're gaining. When you've grown tired of being a canary in a cage, remember there's a difficult but free path you can take."Her words were almost prophetic.In the early days of our marriage, Antonio's controlling behavior wasn't as obvious. He'd take me to various events with him. But then, someone stared at me a bit too long. His eyes darkened, and from that day on, I was never allowed to go to another event.Things got worse when Elena suggested she could "take care" of me. That was when I truly lost all my freedom.The door opened.When Margarita saw me show up in a shabby outfit, her expression shifted to one of understanding."Come in

    Less than ten minutes later, I heard Antonio's hurried footsteps downstairs.This was truly rare. When I ran a high fever before, he only had Elena bring me fever-reducing medicine.It seemed like Elena was the key to his haste in handling this.He hadn't even taken off his suit when he stormed into the bedroom, advancing with a menacing look in his eyes. "You dared to hang up on my call?"I was folding clothes. I kept my head down and answered softly, "I didn't want to pick up."He grabbed my wrist with force, making me look him in the eye."Just because I told you to shut up? Elena just secured a partnership, and as the Don, I'm celebrating with core members. What's the problem with that?"His voice grew louder and was filled with anger."Do you have any idea how many people saw your comment? Some even guessed she's my mistress! Elena cares about her reputation, and because you mocked her, she cried so much that she fainted!""Oh." I tilted my head, not quite understanding

    "Go ahead with the divorce, Antonio. I've already signed the agreement."I dropped the divorce papers onto Antonio Rivera's desk."Stop joking," he said without even looking up. He continued scanning his reports. "I have a dinner appointment tonight. I don't have time for this nonsense.""I'm n
