5. You Want to Kill Me 

Orella was already in her back garden. The guests had attended her wedding to Dante Laurenzo Ludovic. She saw her father standing waiting for her, holding out his hand.

She accepted her father's hand and said, "There's no need to worry about me. Believe that I can protect you."

"I'm not willing to sacrifice you," continued the father.

"No! Don't do that! Do you want to see this house filled with the blood of innocent people?" Orella pleaded with the intention of blocking her father, who was about to pull out his gun.

Orella didn't want her house to be flooded with the blood of innocent people. She saw some people who had nothing to do with her family's problems, and she saw her best friend, who was at this party.

"Dad, I still don't remember the man from that night. But I'm going to find out everything. I won't stop finding out who the person was who killed Juan that night," Orella spoke to her father.

Orella did all that to make her father calm down a bit. So as not to start a war with the Ludovic family. She knows that her father's strength is currently reduced and automatically cannot face the Ludovic family.

Orella was relieved that her father had finally abandoned her plans. She stopped her steps when she was in front of the man who would become her husband. After that, she accepted the man's hand, and the wedding ceremony began.

"Welcome, Orella Daria Maldini," Dante whispered in a cold tone, then smiled faintly. I wanted to see how far you'd gotten."

Orella was surprised by the man's whisper. She felt it was a threat. Plus, Dante kissed her in front of all the guests.

"You!" snapped Dante, annoyed that Orella was biting his lip.

"We'll see who gives up early," Orella interjected confidently.

Orella saw Dante smile again after wiping the blood from his lips. After that, without saying a word, the man left the wedding.

"My business is done. I'm leaving!" said Dante as he passed his father.

Seeing all that, Orella was silent, and then she smiled. She didn't mind if he left her on her wedding day. In her mind, there was only revenge to destroy the person who caused her to lose her brother.

'Dante, get ready! From today you will feel the pain and eventually you will die at my hands,' Orella said in her heart.

Finally, the wedding was over even though there was no Dante. Orella was now in a car that would take her inside Ludovic's residence.

"Honey, you must remember one thing. Don't act rashly," said the father, who was still worried about his daughter's departure.

"Dad, you trust me, right?" asked Orella as she looked into her father's eyes.

"I believes in you. However, you should contact me if you're in a pinch. I will help you as soon as possible."

Orella was pleased with her father's answer. She smiled and said, "Thank you for believing in me."

After saying that, Orella closed the car door, and the driver drove the car away from the Maldini residence. During the journey, Orella remained silent until she finally arrived at Ludovic's residence.

Orella had just entered the Ludovic residence area. She saw so many bodyguards with full weapons. The guarding of the house was apparently the same as the guarding during the party that night.

'I'm ready,' She said to herself as she got out of the car.

She walked confidently into the house. Several servants were already standing as if to welcome her. Orella saw two people at the top of the stairs. They both looked at her with hateful eyes.

"Miss, I'm taking you to your room," said a woman in an all-black suit.

Orella didn't reply, and she followed the woman up the stairs. She thought the two people who had been looking at her with hatred were still there. It turned out that they were both gone by the time she reached the top.

"Miss, you'd better be careful with everyone in this house," the woman said after opening a door.

"It looks like I have to be careful with you too," Orella continued after she entered the room.

Orella watched the woman close the door to the room without responding to her. She just smiled and looked around the room. She smelled the distinctive scent on the body of the man who had become her husband.

"Apparently they put me here right away," Orella muttered after looking at her suitcase.

After looking around the room, she opened her suitcase. She took out her nightgown and cleaned her face. Then, she took off the dagger that she always kept on her thigh and put it under her pillow.

Her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone from her bag, looked at the name on the screen, and picked it up because Silvia was calling her.

"Hello," greeted Orella after she picked up the phone.

Orella listened to Silvia's words, and it wasn't long before her friend sent her some photos where the photo showed Dante in a bar and having fun with several women.

"Leave it alone! You get out of there! Remember not to cause trouble because I can't help you tonight," Orella told her friend.

She disconnected the phone after hearing that Silvia would do as she was told. Orella looked back at the photos and smiled wryly, then put her phone away on the nightstand.

"Tonight I can rest easy," Orella said, locking the door and turning off the lights. After that, she threw herself into bed.

She was already feeling tired from today's events. Even her head felt a little heavy. Maybe she was a little drunk. She closed her eyes. However, she heard the sound of someone opening the locked door of her room.

Orella immediately grabbed the dagger under the pillow. Apparently, the person had managed to unlock the room, and Orella heard footsteps getting closer to her.

Without further ado, Orella immediately attacked the person because the person was already beside her. However, the person managed to dodge her attack. A fight broke out between the two of them. Orella was surprised when she managed to suppress the person and was about to stab the person's eyes with the dagger in her hand.

"Are you going to kill me?"
