Chapter 1

The day I was discharged from the hospital, I wore a face mask to conceal the massive scar on my face.It was then that I received a call from a distant city called Lunebria. The voice on the other end sounded unfamiliar."May I ask if you are Ms. Sofia? Did you go missing when you were a child?" a man asked.I froze for a moment. The memories that had been buried in the back of my mind for years suddenly came surging back.The man continued, "The hospital reported your DNA information to us. It's been 20 years… We've finally found you!"His voice trembled with emotion as he spoke. It seemed like he was on the verge of tears.A tear slid down one corner of my eye, and I couldn't help but smile too. "So you're saying… I have a real famiglia now? Is that right?""But will your current famiglia agree to let you return to us?"I thought of the selfie where my three adoptive brothers stood beside Bianca Rossi, smiling as they kept her company. My nose stung, and more tears slid down

Chapter 2

I recalled everything Bianca had done so far. She had wanted me gone from the Vipera household for a very long time.My face was ruined. I was in so much pain that I lost the courage to speak.Bianca sat on the floor and sobbed miserably, "Sofia, if my nimble fingers make you jealous, then I promise I won't show up in front of you again. I won't trouble our brothers to take care of me anymore. You'll forgive me, won't you?"Behind her back, she squeezed the nearly healed wound on her fingers until it bled again.She said weakly, "All I ask is that you let me rest in the castle so that my hand can heal faster. Then, I can play the piano for our dear brothers again."My brothers helped her up and walked past me irritably.As Bianca brushed by my shoulder, she forced out a single tear. My brothers looked at her with aching concern. Then, they turned their annoyed gazes on me.I wanted to explain, but cold sweat broke out across my back. A feeling of despair enveloped me, and the st

Mario and Bruno took turns hurling accusations at me. Their merciless reproach rained on me like a torrent of rocks.From the room across the corridor, Bianca's voice drifted over. "Mario? Bruno? Where are you? I need you with me."They hurried back to her side right away, leaving me to suffer alone in the dank, suffocating room.Mario had left behind the investigation report on the accident. With trembling hands, I picked it up.It stated clearly that I had argued with Bianca inside the car and that I had deliberately swerved the steering wheel to threaten her. According to it, my reckless act was what caused the accident.Summoning all my strength, I forced myself out of bed. I wanted to find my brothers and explain everything.Bianca had just finished her skin treatment. Mario gently tucked a blanket behind her lower back and carefully adjusted it around her waist. Bruno was massaging her wrist, while Giuliano was busy pulling the curtains and fine-tuning the lighting to what

I no longer wanted to believe a single word they said. So, all I did was nod calmly in response.I turned to go back to my room to rest, but Bianca stood in the hallway and blocked my path. She was wearing my pajamas and my velvet slippers.She said softly, "From now on, I am the only sister the Vipera brothers will spoil and love."As I walked past her, I heard a sharp, mocking snort escape her nose.After we brushed shoulders, her giggles and joyful chatter with my brothers rang out behind me.She deliberately raised her voice and flaunted, saying, "I'm going to wear these diamond earrings for the rest of my life. Bruno, you're the best!"She went on to lament about her poor, miserable childhood. My brothers instantly promised to compensate her double for every unfortunate thing she had suffered in life.They had once promised me the same. They had sworn that they would love and protect me as if I were their real famiglia to make up for the famiglia I had lost.But now, they

I denied it immediately. "I didn't do it."Then, I glanced at the maid beside us. She lowered her head and scurried away.I reached out to take the medical spray from Bianca, but she deliberately stepped back.The pain made it impossible for me to breathe. I collapsed onto the ground and began crawling toward her, inch by inch. If I could get the medicine, it wouldn't hurt this much anymore.But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach Bianca. That short distance stripped away every shred of dignity I'd had over the years.Bianca sneered down at me and raised the medical spray in her hand. "Sofia, this is proof that you switched the medicine to hurt me. Don't even think about destroying the evidence."At last, I crawled close enough to grab her ankle. I begged her desperately to let me have it.However, she twisted the cap open and poured the contents of the entire bottle into the nearby drain.My blood rushed to my head. I sprang up instinctively, screaming as I grabbed he

The moment we landed, an ambulance took me straight from the runway to the hospital. They administered anesthesia immediately to ease my pain.The skin graft surgery went on for a long time. I fell into a deep sleep and had a long dream.In that dream, I said goodbye to Bianca. Then, I said goodbye to the three Vipera brothers as well. Slowly, they faded away like mist that cleared when day broke.My real papa, Vittorio, stayed by my bedside day and night. He told me that the three Vipera brothers had been posting missing-person notices everywhere. They had been trying to find me. According to Papa, they had been living in constant regret and anxiety.…Third-Person Point of ViewGiuliano sat on the couch and clutched his head in remorse. "It's been three months, and there's still no news of Sofia at all."Bruno said cautiously, "I heard a maid say that she saw a helicopter belonging to the Ferro famiglia arrive one morning. Could Sofia have been taken away by the Ferros?"Mari

The Vipera brothers' private jet took off.Giuliano frowned as he stared out the window. "We have to stay by Sofia's side. It must be unbearable for her after surgery. We'll never be able to repay what we owe her."They searched everywhere for news of Sofia. However, Vittorio had sealed off all information related to her, so they ran into dead ends at every turn.…Sofia's First-Person Point of ViewTime passed quickly as I spent my days recuperating on the hospital bed. After the skin graft surgery, I spent half a year recovering before I was able to get out of bed again.There were still faint scars on my face that could never be fully removed. They were a permanent reminder of that fateful car accident.Papa brought me back to the Ferro famiglia's estate to recuperate. That was the place where I was born. Matteo and the maids took turns taking care of me day in and day out. The 20 years I had spent away from home felt like a distant dream once I was back.At last, I had woke

Chapter 8

Guests from the other famiglie gathered around, drawn by the commotion.The three Vipera brothers kept trying to force their way inside, acting as though they were devoted brothers in front of everyone.I walked over to Matteo and said, "Open the doors."Matteo and the maids glanced back at Papa. Only after they saw him nod did they cautiously loosen their grip and open the heavy doors.Bruno strode in and scanned the room with a smug look. "She's our sister. How can you stop us from seeing her? She misses us too."He walked over and planted himself in front of me like a massive mountain. A wave of weariness washed over me. Why did they suddenly want to prove that they cared about me? Their attention was too little, too late. In fact, it was even bothersome now."I don't miss you at all," I said plainly.Giuliano hurried over as well. "I don't believe that, Sofia. We've wanted to be by your side day and night. We wanted to give you a sense of security. I promise we'll protect

Chapter 9

Third-Person Point of ViewGiuliano invited the top scar removal specialist in the country. The brothers planned to bring the expert to see Sofia and help remove the scars on her face.As they discussed it in the grand hall back in the Vipera famiglia's castle, Bianca came to stand before them.In a soft voice, she said, "You haven't been home in so long. I heard you went abroad. Were you with Sofia?"With tears in her eyes, she continued, "Sofia is the best sister I could ask for. Without her around, I feel like something's missing. I hope we can go back to how things were before and live together like a famiglia. Please take me with you to get Sofia back."Mario, Bruno, and Giuliano looked at her coldly. Not a single one stepped forward to comfort her.Bianca wiped the tears from her cheeks and gazed into the distance with a longing look. "Sofia probably left because she wasn't in a good state of mind. After all, her face was injured so badly."Bruno clenched his fists and loo

"You knew Sofia was disfigured the whole time you were in the hospital! Yet, you still deliberately emptied her medical spray! You made her think we were cold and heartless!" Giuliano roared like a wild beast."Sofia was so nice to you, but you tormented her on purpose right under our noses!" Mario growled.He watched the videos one by one incredulously. Halfway through, he couldn't bear to look at the cruel truth. His lips turned pale, and his hand that was holding the phone began to shake. Infuriated by what he saw, he started grinding his teeth in rage.Only then did the Vipera brothers finally understand the true extent of the horrible suffering I had endured alone back in their castle.Mario grabbed my arm and begged me to believe that they had been completely unaware of what had happened. I had given them plenty of chances before. Unfortunately, none of them had listened to me.Why should I be the one to swallow everything and forgive them now?Bianca suddenly snapped. A
