As Don Julian Vitale's woman, I've accompanied him every step of the way, from the streets all the way to the peak. It all starts because I don't like the way Julian's god-sister, Milena Santoro, uses so much force in dressing my wounds that I've dismissed her in favor of other people. The next day, my explicit photos are plastered all over the underground casino's chips. I clutch my abdomen, which still sports the stab wound I've blocked for Julian. As I search for him, I end up overhearing his subordinates' lewd laughter outside a private room. "Winona sure is hot, Don Vitale! Now that her body's printed all over the chips, our luck has tremendously increased as well!" "That's not it! Previously, Don Vitale rewarded me by letting me grope Winona's chest! Because of that, I was able to seal a business deal that's worth tens of millions of dollars!" "Then again, Don Vitale, won't Winona get into a fight with you for spreading her explicit photos like this?" Julian puffs out some smoke while toying with a casino chip with my crotch printed on it. "She's just a plaything whom Lady Luck favors. Without my protection, she's even lower than a mutt. Besides, she's nothing compared to Milena, and yet she has the gall to complain about how much force Milena uses in dressing her wounds?" As the crotch-imprinted chip is flung onto the table carelessly, I feel my heart dying once and for all.

A month later, Julian completely vanished from the Athrasian underworld.Some said his enemies weighed him down and dumped him into the sea. Others claimed he fled abroad.No one knew which version was true, but one thing was certain. He would never show his face again.Under Papa's arrangements, I went abroad to recover, far away from all the bloodshed and betrayal.Life overseas was slow and peaceful.I sat in the sun, read books, and took long walks along the shore. As my body healed, my mind followed.One day, I met Matteo Sorrenti.It happened in a cafe. He was an architect, gentle in both manner and speech.He was nothing like Julian.

Even the guards standing nearby couldn't bear to watch anymore.I pushed the window open and looked down at him from above."Julian, do you remember what you said to me?"You said I was nothing more than a lucky toy, that without your protection I was worthless, and that I couldn't compare to Milena, not in any way. You even said you were going to hand me over to your buddies to play with."And now you're telling me you regret it?"Julian's face was drained of color. "I-I was fooled by Milena. She kept whispering things in my ear, saying you were plotting against me. I lost my head for a moment, and that's why I—"I cut him off, saying, "So, you believed her? I was with you for four years, Julian. I fought alongside you, risked my life, and poured everything I had into helping you climb to where you are. "But you chose to trust a woman you'd known for less than half a year over me. Is that what you call love?"He had nothing to say.I looked at him coldly and enunciated eve

Back at the Lombardi estate, doctors tended to my wounds immediately.Papa sat by the bed, staring at my pale face. His eyes were rimmed red. "I shouldn't have left you here alone. If I hadn't come back early…"He couldn't finish the sentence.I squeezed his hand. "Papa, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."He took a deep breath, forcing his anger down. "I'll handle Julian. You rest. You don't need to worry about anything else."I nodded and closed my eyes. Yet, Julian's face kept surfacing in my mind.How had the man who once treated me with such care turned into this? Or had he been pretending from the very beginning?I couldn't understand, and I didn't want to think about it anymore.…I slept for two full days.When I woke up, Papa was sitting on the couch, reviewing some documents.Upon seeing that I was awake, he immediately stopped what he was doing. "How do you feel?""Much better," I said, pushing myself upright. "What about Julian?"Papa let out a short, humorless
