Chapter 3

ผู้เขียน: Strawberry Jammy
Just as I had anticipated, Silvia's sobbing echoed throughout the villa the following day. "I-I can't find the necklace Mamma gave me!"

She glanced at my closed door and continued, "Rosina was the only one who came into my room last night…"

In that instant, Carlo brought two Soldati with him and kicked my door open. "Get searching! That poor wretch from the slums must have been jealous of Silvia's necklace and stole it!"

They charged inside, tearing through the room and throwing my clothes, sheets, and a full box of survival gear onto the floor. They even stepped on my bulletproof vest and caused my supply of canned food to roll across the floor.

"I found it!" Carlo retrieved the red diamond necklace from under my pillow. He held it up, glaring at me with contempt. "You've been caught red-handed, Rosina! What do you have to say for yourself?"

Upon being informed of the situation, Papa rushed over and took in the scene. He was trembling with rage as he looked at me, yelling, "My own daughter is a thief? You're a stain upon the famiglia's honor, Rosina!"

With that, Papa raised his hand and tried to slap me as hard as he could.

I didn't move away. I even went up to meet it head-on, as I was equipped with my tactical helmet.

In that instant, a heavy thwack rang out as Papa's hand connected with the helmet's reinforced shell. He had put so much power into the swing that the recoil was devastating.

He let out a pained shriek, clutching his red, swollen hand and swearing at the top of his lungs.

I looked calmly at him and asked, "You're done, right? Then you should take a good look at this."

I gestured toward the top of the closet, where a tiny pinhole camera, installed the night before, sat hidden from view.

I took out my tablet and showed them the recorded footage captured just 30 minutes ago. It showed Silvia slipping into my room, retrieving the necklace from her person, and tucking it beneath my pillow. It also showed her pausing to fix her hair in the mirror, looking quite pleased with herself.

It was crystal clear and caught on tape—the evidence was indisputable.

Silvia went pale in a heartbeat, her body trembling. "T-That's not what happened…"

Mamma stood stiffly. She kept looking back and forth between the screen and Silvia, completely lost for words.

Carlo stood frozen with the necklace in his hand. He recovered quickly, though, and doubled down with a weak excuse.

"That doesn't matter! Silvia probably left it behind when she went to your room. It's natural for sisters to go into each other's rooms all the time! She's innocent. She was probably just joking around! You're the real creep here for placing cameras in your own room to spy on people, Rosina!"

I turned off the video and snapped my visor shut. I sounded hollow behind the mask while asking, "You think she's just joking around, huh? I'll play along, then. I'll be leaving this famiglia this instant."

I started gathering my belongings, acting as if I were truly leaving, when Papa suddenly stopped me.

    In the end, the Capone famiglia was ruined. In the criminal underworld, a ruined reputation was a death sentence. I even released evidence that they had been embezzling their business partners' funds. Those who had once been on good terms with the Capone famiglia immediately turned their backs on them, wanting nothing to do with them to safeguard their own profits.Papa's expression became vacant. He tried to beg Tiziano for mercy and sought to leverage our prior familial relationship. "I was fooled, too, Rosina! Silvia was responsible for driving us apart!"I want you to return home, Rosina! I'll make you the future Donna of the famiglia, and hand over all the inheritance to you! You'll have total control of the famiglia and the organization!" He dropped to his knees, sobbing. He held no further vestige of the gravitas associated with his position as the Don of the Capone famiglia."You want me to take over as the Donna, huh? Do you really think this famiglia is worth anything

    "H-How the hell are you with Mr. Valente, Rosina?" Carlo shouted. His finger trembling with rage, his composure completely gone. He was reeling, unable to fathom how the woman he had been tormenting in the underground warehouse only three days before was now standing there as the companion of a man with Tiziano's status.I ignored him completely. I reached for a tablet held by one of Tiziano's bodyguards, synced it to the projector of the auction house, and declared, "It seems that all the Capone famiglia's partners are gathered here, so let's watch something interesting to liven up the evening."It wasn't long before the video started playing, displaying surveillance recordings from the Capone residence. It started with Silvia spiking the juice with bleach, and next came the footage from the shopping mall, capturing the moment she fell while trying to shove me.It then showed a clip of Silvia hiding the red diamond necklace under my pillow, and the final video was a slow-motion,

    I decided to go the opposite way, heading toward the other side of the estate to the guest villa where Tiziano was staying. He was the one who had spoken up for me at the banquet and also the arms dealer everyone was afraid of.I knew that the enemy of my enemy could be my strongest ally.I climbed the drainage pipe to the second floor and pried open the balcony’s floor-to-ceiling window with a lock pick. I had just landed on the floor when a cold, solid object pressed into my lower back."You certainly have a unique way of dropping by, Ms. Capone," Tiziano said in the shadows, sounding amused.I noticed that he was wearing a bathrobe after the lights turned on, his hair still wet as he held a silver Desert Eagle aimed at my lower back. I slowly raised my hands and turned around, saying, "I'm here to propose a deal, Mr. Valente."Tiziano cocked his eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the bleeding wounds on my body and the ill-fitting guard uniform. "Is that so? You're nothing but a

    I was dragged to the famiglia's warehouse, which was located three levels beneath the villa. It had originally been intended for storing the spoils of war.I was bound in iron chains, left with nothing but a single shirt. I was stripped of my high-end gear—the vest, the headgear, and even the knife hidden in the sole of my footwear. I didn't panic, though. I knew that as long as I was still alive, I had a chance to turn the tables.It was then that the heavy metal door swung open. Carlo walked in carrying a whip, his face twisted in disgust. "Where's all that competence of yours now, Rosina? What happened to all that talk about testing for poison? How'd you end up in chains?"He walked up to me and lifted my chin with the tip of his whip. "Do you know what Silvia is doing right now? She's right upstairs, being treated by the best doctors while being doted on by Don and Donna Capone. "You, on the other hand, will be auctioned off in the underground auction in three days. You se

    Moments later, Silvia's smile stiffened. She probably realized that the knife hadn't pierced my heart. It had been stopped cold by the bulletproof vest under my suit. She had obviously never anticipated that I would come to a banquet wearing a bulletproof vest.I cocked my eyebrow, ready to enjoy the sight of Silvia's panic, but I had underestimated just how ruthless she was.Upon realizing that her attack had failed, Silvia didn't back down. She immediately used the knife to slash her own arm, staining her white gown with blood. "Please don't kill me, Rosina!" she yelled.Silvia's piercing scream immediately caught everyone's attention, causing the scene to fall into disarray as the guests turned to look.Carlo charged at me at once, driving a brutal kick into my stomach.I was protected by the bulletproof vest, but the force of the kick still drove me back several steps. I crashed into the champagne tower behind me, and the sharp crash of breaking glass echoed everywhere.P

    Papa wasn't holding me back out of guilt, but for the sake of the famiglia's reputation. "You'd better stop right there!" he snapped. "Tomorrow, there is a banquet to announce your real identity, and the invites are already out! "Your engagement to Carlo is supposed to be made official there, too! You'll make a laughingstock of the famiglia if you walk out now!"You are to put a stop to this incident and delete that footage this instant. No one is permitted to talk about this again!"He decided to sweep it all under the rug. To them, the famiglia's prestige was more important than the truth, and the emotional distress of the adopted daughter was deemed more significant than the physical safety of the biological daughter.I knew, however, that this was just the calm before the storm, as the banquet to acknowledge my identity as the Principessa of the Capone famiglia would be the stage for the ultimate showdown.…It was finally the night of the banquet when Silvia suddenly walk
