My Salvation, My Damnation のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

I had been with my husband, Leon Costa, for five years. I thanked God every day for letting me meet him. He appeared when my fiance betrayed me and my mother was dying. He had helped me selflessly.Even though Mom eventually died from rejection reactions, I never blamed him for it. That was until tonight, when I stood outside the study door and heard the whole truth."Don't worry, Penny. Camilla's recent poor condition might not be a rejection reaction."Leon Costa's voice was deep and gentle in a way that was out of character. After all, he was a cold and ruthless mafia Don in front of most people."Veronica's kidney can last at least another 20 years."What was he talking about? My ears buzzed, and I couldn't hear anything he said after that.In a daze, I remembered that rainy night five years ago when I was still Marco Lombardi's fiancee. I was sitting disheveled outside the operating room, calling Marco over and over again.I had called him 99 times, yet he didn't answer a s

The yacht party was lavish, but I immediately noticed something was off when I looked around carefully.The bodyguards stood lazily in corners, and not one of them was armed. The maids moved clumsily. Their hands were trembling slightly as they carried trays. And though the food was elegant, the portions were clearly insufficient.Had Marco's family really declined to this extent?Still, this was perfect. If that was the case, security was probably loose too, making it easier for Uncle Dante's people to act.Leon walked into the venue with his arm around my waist. In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to us."Don Costa!""Madre!"The guests swarmed over, competing to curry favor. Everyone knew that Leon's family had been thriving under his leadership these past years, while Marco's influence had long since declined.Marco stood not far away. His face was dark as he watched this play out. But he quickly adjusted his expression and walked over with champagne. He forced a smile. "

Third Person Point-of-ViewLeon searched the sea like a madman. He even ignored the rescue team's attempts to stop him, diving underwater again and again by himself.The firelight illuminated his pale face and bloodshot eyes. The mafia Don's cold composure vanished completely."Leon! Please!" Wrapped in a rescue blanket, Penny grabbed his arm with trembling hands as he was about to dive again."Please don't go anymore, okay? I'm so scared and cold. Please take me away! That bastard, Marco, ran off by himself. You're all I have now..."Leon's struggling movements paused. Pain and confusion showed in his eyes. It was something Penny had never seen before. He wanted to keep searching, but thinking of Penny's life-saving grace, he compromised.He wearily waved at the rescue captain. "Keep looking. If she's alive, I want to see her. If she's dead... I want to see the body."After sending the chattering Penny, who kept complaining about her fear and grievances, back to her temporary r

Veronica's Point-of-ViewThe surgical pain around my waist and abdomen reminded me of my weakness. But I gripped the edge of the bed and sat up without hesitation."Veronica." Uncle Dante frowned and blocked me, disapproving. "Your body can't handle this strain. We can take care of this issue.""No, Uncle Dante." I looked up at him, and my gaze was steady. "I need to see this with my own eyes."He stared at me for a moment before finally stepping aside reluctantly. "She's in the isolation ward downstairs. I'll have someone follow you."In the hospital room, Camilla, who had once been so arrogant and domineering, had lost all her luster. She lay in bed with tubes inserted throughout her body. Her face was ashen, and her abdomen was wrapped in thick bandages.My kidney had once been inside of her. Now, there was nothing. Her cloudy eyes struggled to open, and her pupils were instantly filled with terror and malice after recognizing me.She tried to speak but could only make hoarse
