Lahat ng Kabanata ng Your Love for Her Was the Death of Me: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

At dawn, as Eva slowly opened her eyes, Leo was already pressing a kiss to her temple. It was tender, yet possessive.He murmured, "Eva, I ruined our anniversary last night. Let me make it up to you today, alright?"She opened her mouth to decline, but the words never made it out. Leo was already giving orders. The security team was instructed to prepare the car. The maid rushed to prepare breakfast. Eva's dress, coat, shoes, and even matching jewelry had all been laid out with obsessive precision.Leo took her to a private estate owned by the Sereno family. It was a castle-like retreat deep in the countryside—one he had built for her, brick by brick. It was her personal wonderland.Today, he had arranged a fairytale anniversary, planned down to the last extravagant detail.Deep within the estate grounds, the private amusement park looked like something out of a dream beneath the sunlight. A vintage carousel turned slowly beside a horse-drawn carriage, a Euria-style hedge maze s

The Amoura Eva wasn't just expensive. It was priceless. In the black market, it would only appear at the most exclusive underground auctions. Leo only found out because one of his informants intercepted the catalog and sent word before the auction began.Leo asked, "Eva, why did you sell the Amoura Eva?"Eva didn't look at him. Her voice was calm. "Did you go to the auction?"Leo froze. A flicker of something unreadable passed across his face. After a beat, he spoke, his voice low and careful. "I just... wanted to find you something. Maybe pick out a new piece. So I—"Eva cut him off. "I didn't sell it. I donated it."Leo's jaw clenched, and he gripped her hand. "Eva, I know you're compassionate. You always have been. But if you wanted to donate something, you could've chosen anything else. Not that necklace."He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a velvet box, placing it in front of her. When he flipped it open, there it was—the Amoura Eva, shimmering under the soft l

Eva burned with a fever all night.Leo stumbled into the villa just before dawn, still reeking of alcohol from the Red Rose Club. The moment he stepped inside, he sensed something was wrong. The air was too still, too quiet.Then he saw Eva. She had collapsed on the bed, her cheeks flushed red and her skin burning to the touch.In an instant, the haze of alcohol vanished. He swept her into his arms and rushed her to their private hospital."Get a doctor. Dr. Wilson—now! If anything happens to her, I swear, I'll bury every one of you with her." His voice was ice-cold, laced with barely contained fury.When Eva opened her eyes again, the sharp scent of antiseptic stung her nose. She stirred, barely able to move, her limbs heavy and her mind hazy.A nurse noticed her stirring and gasped with relief. "Mrs. Sereno, thank God! You've had a high fever for over 24 hours. "Mr. Sereno's been here the whole time. He just stepped out. There was an emergency call from the syndicate he had t

Eva sat quietly in the underground vault, flipping through the love letters Leo had once written to her by hand. They were penned in military-grade invisible ink on black-market anti-forgery paper. In the end, she fed every single one of them into the shredder.The morning she planned to leave, Leo stood by the bed, his expression grim as he stared at the notification on her phone."Your account just received a deactivation confirmation," he said, his voice low and hoarse. "Eva, what did you delete?"Eva calmly took back the phone and pressed her fingerprint on the screen. The screen flashed a single message. "Identity deactivation successful.""My old account was hacked. I had to shut it down," she answered smoothly, a faint smile on her lips.Leo studied her for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her. "Guess what I brought back for you?"She answered flatly, "Strawberry cupcake from Wendover Street."Leo paused. "How did you know?"He remembered that night vividly. She

Cleo's message came, tinged with a venomous edge. "Eva, do you really think auctioning off that necklace will make Leo go soft? Pathetic. He was just in my bed last night."Attached was a photo—a tangled mess of sheets. It was both proof and provocation.Leo's eyes darkened, and rage surged through his veins. He didn't need confirmation. He already knew who sent it. Grinding his teeth, he typed out a single line. "Cleo, I warned you not to let Eva find out anything about us."Not even three seconds passed before Cleo called.Her tone was all fake sweetness. "Wow, Eva, you're really getting good at faking Leo's tone. Almost had me fooled. If you had any sense, you'd step aside and hand over that mafia queen title to me. I'm the one carrying Leo's baby now."Before she could finish, a cold, familiar voice cut through the line. "Is that so? You think you can lay a finger on Eva and get away with it?" Leo's voice was low and lethal. There was no mistaking it. "The only reason I
