Chapter 5

Jasmine Flower
Enzo walked inside.

When he saw the gun pressed to my forehead, his rage overflowed and he let out a bark of sardonic laughter. His voice was strong and firm, and he was much more intimidating than Luis.

Luis’ face went white. He went from looming over me to falling to his knees in an instant.

“Cara protected me when there was an attempt on my life. She was hurt because of this and lost her baby. I felt guilty, and so I gifted her a mansion and had her taken care of in this hospital.

“As her husband, you never even bothered to check on her. Worse, you’re scolding and accusing her of things! How could you bring up the possibility of her having a lover now? You barely considered her your wife when she was in danger of dying. Instead, you were with your own lover!”

Enzo’s words landed on Luis like knives. He started shaking uncontrollably all over. He looked very different from the previous timeline, where he acted like he was God’s gift to the world.

When threatened, even vermin fought to survive, much less Luis.

He appeared anxious as he tried to get himself out of this predicament.

“It was my fault that I arrived late, but Cara has always mistreated Bianca, using her pregnancy as an excuse to do whatever she wanted. Before leaving, she even stole my communication device. I didn’t even know there was an assassination attempt!”

My heart skipped a beat when he said this.

I gave a bitter laugh. The communication device I had begged for had suddenly become something I had stolen.

Luis did not dare to look up, but that did not stop his words from resounding clearly.

“Don Tomasi, you may not know this, but I wanted to marry my first love, Bianca, when I was brought into the family’s inner circle. But Cara’s father used his power to force our union. He threatened Bianca’s life to make me marry Cara.

“Back in the day, he was one of the inner circle in charge of the family’s finances. He even said he would steal my position! I risked everything to get to this point in the family. I didn’t dare to risk it all!

“Cara is vicious. She took over my entire life and forbade any woman from coming near me. Worse than that, she tried to sell Bianca to a brothel! I grew up with Bianca, so there was no way I could let that happen. That’s why I took her as my lover.

“Cara’s father was dealt with after being accused of betrayal. I suspect that all of this is a plot hatched by Cara herself. Sir, you have to investigate this!”

Luis pleaded with Enzo, and his demeanor made him seem like a loyal underling.

But that was very far from the truth.

    I raised an eyebrow. I was completely unsurprised by this development. In contrast, Luis was looking at Bianca in absolute disbelief. “But you love me. Why would you become my lover if you didn’t love me?”Bianca leaned against the pillar and laughed loudly. “Because you’re powerful and influential. You could help me climb the ladder in the family.”After saying this, Bianca suddenly turned toward me. Her expression was one of fear, but her features twisted together.“There’s something you don’t know, Mrs. Marconi. When we’re together, Luis keeps saying you’re boring. He was even planning to kill you after you had the baby. Even my poisoning attempts were his idea. How else could I have gotten all those expensive poisons? “Another thing you don’t know is that he has other mistresses other than me. His oldest child is three years old. When you kill Luis, make sure to deal with his other children too. They all know their father is rich and are waiting for their inheritance.”I wa

  • The Failed Assassination   Chapter 8

    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

  • The Failed Assassination   Chapter 7

    When Enzo said this, Luis lit up. He nodded nonstop. “Yes, you’re right. This is nothing but a family matter. Once I get back, I’ll handle this. It won’t become a problem for you.”I watched this play out with a cold eye. Enzo had become the don back in the day through killing and bloodshed. It was impossible that he could intervene in his underling’s private matters. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning in Enzo’s words, but Luis could not see that. Luis was still expressing his utter loyalty, but Enzo did not want to hear it anymore. “I’ve already investigated the assassination attempt. This has nothing to do with any of you, and you shouldn’t get involved. However, Luis must be punished for abandoning his post.”Luis shrunk back. His mouth opened and closed as he tried to say something. However, he must have feared that Enzo would pursue the matter even further and thus kept silent. From what I could tell, Luis did not think that he had made a mistake at all. Inst

  • The Failed Assassination   Chapter 6

    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

  • The Failed Assassination   Chapter 4

    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
