Love Crumbles on the Wedding Eve のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Simone said, "It's not easy being my assistant. He got woken up by me in the middle of the night to deliver a gift, only to be kicked out by my tesoro."Chuckling softly, he ruffled my hair. "You're getting more temperamental, Zoe. Looks like I'll have to come and persuade you myself."Simone then brushed my hair aside, reaching to fasten the necklace around my neck.He was close enough for me to clearly notice the red marks on his neck. I could also catch a whiff of the sweet, unfamiliar perfume lingering on him.My stomach twisted in an instant. I slapped Simone's hand away, my tone icy when I said, "Stop pretending, Simone. I saw you proposing to her at the airport yesterday."His hand froze, as a flicker of restraint crossed his eyes. However, he quickly masked it with calm. "You've misunderstood, Zoe. Jasmina was forced into an arranged marriage by her family, so she asked me to help put on an act."She's been my friend for years. I can't let her marry someone she doesn't lo

That night, my Facebook feed was flooded with photos from the gathering my colleagues posted.In one video, Simone kept Jasmina close at his side, not letting her take even a single sip of alcohol.Someone asked, "Are you really firing Zoe Mr. Pozzi? She's done so much for the company over the years."Simone swirled the drink in his wine glass. Disdain flashed through his eyes as he answered casually, "Of course not. I was just scaring her since she embarrassed me in public. She's been spoiled for far too long, so I had to teach her a lesson."The person fell silent for a brief moment before reminding him, "But Mr. Pozzi, some colleagues saw Z oe crying outside the company…""So what?" Simone chuckled. "It's normal to cry. How about we make a bet, let's see if she'll show up to work tomorrow."The crowd eagerly joined in, and the party plunged back into laughter and excitement. Even colleagues who used to be close to me placed their bets along with him.In the end, over 30 peopl

I hummed a soft reply.Rosario's tone was gentle, yet laced with unmistakable aggression.I turned my head to the side and watched the shadows of trees and buildings slide past the window.It had been less than three years since I left, yet nothing here seemed to have changed.Suddenly, my phone vibrated. A colleague had sent me a video.Simone was smashing things in his office while shouting at Mr. Bianchi. He looked furious and in disbelief.The last time he lost control like this was the day his startup failed. But whatever he was feeling now had nothing to do with me."What a crazy dog," Rosario said from beside me.I glanced down at the screen and hummed. "Indeed."…The car ended up stopping at the gates of the Sortino residence.In order to get us closer, Papa insisted that I live together with Rosario before the wedding.He prepared ten different estates for me in a range of styles from retro to fairytale and even modern minimalism.I ended up choosing modern minim

That day, Rosario told me a lot of things.For example, he told me how he once saw me stand up to my famiglia—ripping the priceless emerald necklace from my neck in fury and walking away without looking back.I had abandoned my noble status and left without looking back.Rosario had been standing at the doorway then, his heart pounding wildly.Even someone like him could only submit to fate. Yet a girl who looked so fragile had dared to fight back. He was utterly astounded.We were both people who longed for freedom. But unlike me, Rosario didn't choose to run away.Instead, he chose to climb relentlessly until he reached the very top, where no one could interfere with his choices ever again.After hearing all that, I laughed softly. "So, after you made it to the top, you turned around and threatened my papa into arranging this marriage?"Rosario hung his head low. After a while, he quietly said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see you again."Looking at the aggrieved look on his

Both men fought so viciously that even the guards didn't know how to step in.It wasn't until I rushed forward and took Simone's punch that they finally stopped.He stammered, "Zoe! I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…"I forced myself to ignore the pain ripping through my back and ignored Simone.Instead, I walked over to Rosario, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth."We're about to get married. You can't afford to get disfigured. And this cut here… Will it hurt when we kiss tonight?" I asked.Simone stared at the scene before him in disbelief, looking as if something inside him was about to shatter. He broke down in the next minute.Rosario placed a hand on the back of my head and kissed me in front of everyone."No! Who gave you permission to touch her! Let her go! Let her go!" Simone screamed as he was restrained tightly by the guards.The prideful man was now sobbing uncontrollably, like a child watching his favourite toy being taken away.Afte
