The Failed Assassination

When I woke up, I found myself in a private ward in the family’s hospital. The smell of disinfectant stung my nose, and the lights were piercingly bright. I subconsciously touched my abdomen. It was flat and soft. There was nothing there anymore.“You’re awake, Mrs. Marconi.” A young nurse rushed in. “You’ve lost a lot of blood. The doctor says it’s a miracle that you managed to pull through. As for the baby… I’m sorry, but we lost the baby.”I did not cry. I had shed every single one of my tears in the first timeline. “Where is Don Tomasi?”“Don Tomasi has been settled back home. However, he left orders to be notified immediately when you wake up. He even sent his personal bodyguards to stand guard at your door. No one is allowed to disrupt your rest.”That meant that no one would be allowed to see me, not even Luis. I closed my eyes and smiled wanly. I had made the right decision. The previous time, Luis had managed to save Enzo with perfect timing thanks to me using the co

After Enzo left, I recovered on my own in the hospital. Just when I had a moment of respite, there came a flurry of rushed footsteps outside the door before it was kicked open. Luis stood there, visibly enraged. “How dare you?” He strode to my bedside and grabbed me roughly by the chin. “How dare you kill my staff? Who gave you the right to kill Winona?”Luis’ eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a rabid dog. He had spent the whole of last night with Bianca, and I could smell alcohol and perfume on him. The lapel of his custom suit even had a lipstick mark on it. “Don’t you know how hard Bianca cried when she saw Winona? You wicked woman. I should never have married you!”I wiped away the blood from the corner of my mouth and looked at him. “Let’s get a divorce then.” The words came out much more calmly than I had ever expected. Luis was stunned. In his eyes, I was still that pitiful woman who would get on her knees to beg him to stay, to never leave, and to please jus

Despite being exhausted, I dragged myself off the bed and knelt before Enzo as well. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. “It was Luis who came to my father and proposed marriage. My father did not want this marriage for me. It was Luis who begged for three days at our door before getting my father’s approval. That matter was a huge one, and the story is still making rounds today. You can have someone check if you don’t believe me on this. “As for my father’s case, I know that it was Luis who embezzled those funds. He hid the money in my father’s study and exposed the embezzlement. That’s how he got Bianca’s brother, Boris, a promotion.”My voice was raspy with emotion, and I could not help glaring at Luis with hate. The person who loved me most in the world, except my long-deceased mother, was my father. The day he was imprisoned, I discovered that I was pregnant. It was because of this that Luis had put me under house arrest. I thought that he loved me and did not want

I had wondered for a long time what I would do if Luis and Bianca fell into my hands one day.Should I make them endure the same kind of suffering I had in the previous timeline and have dogs rip them apart?Alas, I thought that such a plan was letting them off easy. I wanted to destroy what mattered to them the most. I wanted them to turn against each other. Luis used to be in security, so he naturally knew how horrible the tools the bodyguards had were. His expression turned grim, and there was terror in his eyes. “What’s the big idea? I’m your husband! Aren’t you afraid I’ll divorce you if you do this? How dare you have me beaten up! That’s disrespectful and deserves punishment!”I smirked and calmly sat in a chair. “Sure, beating my husband deserves punishment. But so would beating your wife!”If Luis were arrested for the way he treated me in the previous timeline, he would surely be given a death sentence in court. But Luis had yet to do such things to me in this li
