Reborn and Ruthless: I Won't Save the Don의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

When I woke up, I found myself in a warm room, my wounds freshly bandaged.I asked my soldati, but they only said that my father, Roberto Costa, had already reached a decision on the matter.When Anna recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Stefano personally went to pick her up and escorted her home.Outside the study, I overheard Stefano speaking to Dad."Anna was gravely injured while saving my life, and I can never repay such a debt of gratitude. I hope you'll allow me to marry her so that I can spend the rest of my life loving and protecting her."I thought I had come to terms with all of this, but hearing Stefano speak those words himself still made my heart ache bitterly.He would feel heartbroken over Anna's severe injuries from saving him. Yet in my previous life, when I saved him just the same, he saw me as nothing more than a burden he felt he had to be responsible for.In my previous life, Stefano never wanted to marry me in the first place. It was only becau

No, that couldn't be right. I definitely went, and we had a pleasant conversation. We even exchanged contact information and agreed to meet again.Hearing me say this, Stefano sneered coldly from the side. "Principessa Anita must've met him in her dreams."He didn't believe me, let alone believe that I went to meet another man."Dad, I really did go. In fact, this necklace was a gift from him," I insisted firmly.I placed the necklace in front of Dad, and Stefano's expression stiffened slightly.After leaving the study, Stefano suddenly pulled me into a corner and said, "If you behave and stop scheming, I can treat you like a sister. I'll even have meals with you and spend time with you."I let out a light laugh and replied seriously, "Stefano, I don't love you anymore. In fact, I'm interested in someone else now."After hearing this, Stefano pressed closer step by step. "Then, tell me. If you don't love me anymore, why are you still wearing a necklace with elements of my family

The surveillance footage would take some time to restore, so Fabio arranged for a medical team to come and treat my wounds. During that interval, the two of us exchanged a few words.It was only then that I learned Fabio and I had actually attended the same school and were even part of the same club. Back then, though, I was so fixated on Stefano that I never noticed someone like Fabio.Over on the other side, Anna grew visibly uneasy. She approached Stefano and said, "Stefano, I can just wear one of the backup wedding gowns. You had several custom-made for me—I'll simply change into another."Besides, the guests are all here today, so let's just go ahead with the ceremony."But Stefano didn't see it that way. His gaze remained fixed on Fabio and me, and he even evaded Anna's hand when she reached for him.He felt an inexplicable irritation, resenting this sensation of things slipping beyond his control.When he looked down and saw Anna's pitiful expression, another wave of unexp

Stefano stood outside my room for a long time until someone finally invited him to leave the premises.Given his usual temperament, he would have walked away much earlier. In fact, I never expected him to be so persistent.Even late into the night, he remained standing there, unmoving."Principessa Anita, won't you go down? Don Marino is still waiting for you."I shook my head. "If he wants to stand there, let him. He'll leave when he gets tired."Sure enough, just a few minutes after I said that, my soldato came to report that Stefano had left.After the surveillance footage was made public, Dad felt so sorry for me that he cut off all contact with the Marino family, severing any further dealings with them.Our families had been allies for generations, so that sudden break sent shockwaves through the underworld. After all, not only was the wedding abruptly canceled, but even our longstanding relations had been severed.Some insiders leaked rumors claiming I was scheming and je

I stood up and walked away, and this time, Stefano didn't try to stop me.Only after a long while did he murmur to himself, "It definitely wasn't like this before, so why has everything changed?"…The next day, I took the initiative to tell Fabio about what happened to the necklace. I expected him to be very angry or perhaps to take me to have a new one custom-made.Instead, he pulled out a ring engraved with a flame insignia and said, "Anita, our relationship should change with this. Will you marry me?"I could hardly believe what I was seeing, and with tears in my eyes, I nodded.On the day of my wedding to Fabio, Stefano showed up holding a bouquet of sunflowers.Dressed in formal attire, he stood before me and said, "Anita, I remember when we were young, you told me you hoped to have sunflowers as the theme of our wedding."After gazing at the sunflowers blooming brightly before me, I gently plucked a petal and watched it drift away with the wind.Stefano hadn't remembere
