Regret

Plot Twists

Tragic Love

My parents were branded as "traitors" within the Lucchese family. To show the family's mercy, I was taken in as their "sacrificial lamb" to atone for my parents' sins, and I lived with them for 12 years. Those 12 brutal years would have been unbearable if not for one thing: the Don, Antonio Lucchese, had twin heirs who became my only protection. Until that night, when they believed Martina Browne's lies about me and handed me the execution poison known as "The Vow of Silence." "Drink it, Chiara Colombo." Dante Lucchese's voice was cold, his eyes fixed on me. "Prove your loyalty to the Lucchese family." I drank the poison, and it burned through my throat like acid. Through my blurred vision, I watched as his twin brother, Enzo Lucchese, pulled the real traitor close to him. He said coldly, "Take Chiara to the infirmary. Don't let her die in the banquet hall." The day I was released from the hospital, I made a phone call to the Lucchese family's deadliest rival. My voice was hoarse as I spoke each word slowly. "I have evidence that could bury the entire Lucchese family. Marry me, and I'll help you destroy them."

Chapter 1
The Lucchese family's banquet hall was always blazing with light.I stood in the center of the room, forced to hold a glass of dark red, viscous liquid. It was 'The Vow of Silence,' the poison the Lucchese family used for executions.The ones ordering me to drink it were Dante and Enzo Lucchese, the twin brothers I once thought would protect me forever."Drink it, Chiara Colombo." Dante Lucchese's voice was cold, his eyes fixed on me. "Father wants to see whether you've inherited your parents' genes for betrayal."I looked at the instigator, Martina Browne. She was clinging to Enzo's arm right now, her face showing just the right amount of concern, but her gaze was smug."I know the Lucchese family is partnering with Martina's father, so I would never hurt her. She fell on her own. I didn't push her," I said, my voice trembling.Enzo finally spoke, avoiding my gaze while his fingers gently patted the back of Martina's hand. "Martina said you pushed her. She said you cornered her

Martina suddenly cut in, saying, "Drink it, Chiara. Stop making it hard for everyone. Look, Dante and Enzo both drank for you. Surely the Lucchese family's women aren't this cowardly."In that moment, everything that happened after she arrived came rushing back to me.When Martina first came to the family, she 'accidentally' spilled hot soup on my hand. I got burned, and Dante's first reaction was to check if Martina had gotten splashed."Are you okay?" he had asked her, without even glancing at my red, swollen hand.Two weeks later, Martina 'borrowed' the only thing my mother had left me, a silver necklace, and then claimed she lost it.When I begged Enzo to help me find it, he just sighed. "It's just a necklace. I can buy you ten more. Don't ruin relationships over something so trivial."A month ago, Martina put laxatives in my dinner. I got so dehydrated from the diarrhea that I nearly passed out. When Dante found out, he actually blamed me."You know you have a weak stomach,

Chapter 3
On the seventh day after the poison incident, I could barely get out of bed and walk on my own. The infirmary had limited conditions, and so, in his so-called mercy, Antonio decided that I should continue recovering in the main estate.The moment I pushed open the door, I froze.My room had been completely ransacked. The closet stood wide open, its contents scattered across the floor, some torn, some stained. Every desk drawer had been pulled out, and papers were scattered everywhere.What made my chest tighten was the nightstand. The silver photo frame holding my parents' wedding picture was gone.That was the only photograph my parents had left me."Looking for this?" Martina's voice came from the doorway. She leaned against the frame, holding the picture frame in her hand."Give it back," I said, my voice hoarse.She laughed and walked to the window, pushing it open. Below was a courtyard paved with stone. If the frame fell, it would shatter completely.She tilted her head.

Chapter 4
After Dante and Enzo left, memories kept coming back to me.When I was 12 and had a high fever with nightmares, Dante and Enzo took turns watching over me.Dante said, "Don't be scared. Nightmares aren't real."Enzo comforted me. "With us here, no one can hurt you."When I was 15 and got bullied by other kids in the family, Dante took on three of them by himself.Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he grinned and said, "Touch Chiara, and I'll break your bones."On my 18th birthday, they both kissed my cheeks under the moonlight: one on the left and one on the right.Enzo said, "You'll always be ours."Dante said, "Always."So that was how short 'always' was.I wiped my tears and touched the ring I had worn for 12 years. Then, I pried open the large pearl on top.Inside was only a yellowed piece of paper with my father's handwriting, written a week before he died.[Chiara, if the Lucchese family ever comes for your life, call this number. He won't refuse you becau

Chapter 5
At exactly 10 p.m., a man in custom dress shoes stepped onto the ground in front of me.It was Eugene.He was taller than I had imagined, at least six feet three. He wore a perfectly tailored black coat, his silver hair gleaming coldly in the moonlight. His face was sculpted and handsome with high cheekbones and thin lips, but the most captivating feature was his eyes.They were gray-blue like a frozen lake, devoid of any warmth when they looked at someone.He looked down at me from his height and asked, "Where's the evidence?"I pulled a micro USB drive from my inner pocket.Eugene took it and plugged it into his tablet. His fingers swiped rapidly across the screen, his gray-blue eyes glowing like a predator's.He mumbled, "Complete laundering routes, political bribery lists with over 90 percent accuracy, murder records..."Then, he paused and looked up at me. "Including photos from your parents' car crash 12 years ago. How did you get these?"I rasped, saying, "Don Lucchese

Chapter 6
That evening, Dante and Enzo stood side by side at my door."Can we talk?" Enzo's voice was soft.I nodded, and a long silence followed."Are you really...going to marry Eugene?" Enzo spoke first, his voice rough.I replied, "The agreement's signed, the dress is delivered, and the invitations are sent. What do you think?"Dante suddenly straightened. "We can cancel it! I'll talk to Father, say you're suddenly seriously ill…"I cut him off and said, "And then what? Wait for Martina to come up with a new way to torment me? Wait until the next time you need to impress Mr. Browne and make me drink another glass of poison?""It wasn't like that!" Enzo grabbed my arm, his fingers trembling. "W…we were wrong, but it was Father's pressure, the family's needs... Our feelings were real, Chiara. Those moments when we protected you, took care of you... They were all real!"I said quietly, "Maybe they were real once. But the moment you chose Martina, all those 'real' moments died."Dante s

On the wedding day, the sky was so overcast it seemed even God was frowning at this union. I wore the wedding dress Eugene had sent and watched him waiting for me at the altar.He wore white for the rare occasion, his silver hair gleaming coldly in the candlelight.As I walked toward him on the arm of a family elder, the corner of his mouth curved into the faintest smile."You look beautiful," he whispered in my ear as he took my hand.Halfway through the ceremony, the church doors were suddenly thrown open. Dante and Enzo stormed in with eight armed men.They wore black suits, their waists bulging, clearly all carrying weapons.The guests stirred, and the Corleone family's men instantly went on alert."Excuse the interruption." Dante's voice echoed under the church dome as he stared at me, his eyes bloodshot. "Chiara, I'm asking you one last time. Will you come back with us or not?"Eugene's hand still held mine, his grip steady.I turned to face them, my expression calm bene

Chapter 8
Three days after the wedding, the Lucchese family descended into chaos.Dante and Enzo, following the evidence on the USB drive, arrested Martina and Felix.However, during Martina's interrogation, Antonio learned a far more lethal truth: I possessed the Lucchese family's complete criminal records from the past 20 years.Antonio never allowed anyone to leave alive with the family's secrets.Late that night, Eugene and I were in the study reviewing the Lucchese family's financial network when the alarm suddenly blared.Eugene glanced at the surveillance feed and sneered. "Someone's broken in... Six of them, coming through the east wall. Professional hitmen.""They're from the Lucchese family," I immediately said.Eugene pressed the communicator. "Take one alive. Kill the rest."Over the next 20 minutes, muffled gunshots and screams echoed through the estate. The Corleone family's security system worked like a precision trap, killing the intruders one by one.Eugene remained sea

Enzo gasped. They did not know Eugene had already hired the best doctors for me, and my body was slowly recovering. Nonetheless, there was no need to mention that to them.I stood and walked toward him. "So, when I drank that poison, I repaid whatever debt I owed the Lucchese family for raising me. From that moment on, we were even.""But Father..."I interrupted him and said, "Maybe I should remind you that the Don killed my parents. He orchestrated that 'car accident' 12 years ago because my parents discovered something they shouldn't have: his deal with a federal judge. He needed scapegoats to cover up three murders."The twins froze."They didn't betray anyone." My voice was calm because I had run out of tears 12 years ago. "They were just the scapegoats the Don had chosen. He staged their fake escape, arranged the crash, and killed my parents."A long, suffocating silence followed.The garden roses swayed in the evening breeze, their fragrance almost overwhelming.Finally,
