The Arrogant Don's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The bedroom door was slightly ajar. Inside came Alice's sultry moans and Domenico's low, heavy breathing.I did not stop walking. I headed straight into the wine cellar.Ten years of marriage, and I had fallen this far. I drowned my sorrows in alcohol. At midnight, the cellar door swung open.Alice walked toward me wearing my silk robe. The collar hung open, exposing the suggestive bite marks on her neck."You know what Domenico told me, Lucia? He's dying to throw you in the ocean and watch you drown. He says looking at your lifeless face makes him sick and that you're worthless trash in his eyes. You're not even good enough to lick my boots."I looked at her coldly, my eyes flat and unmoved. "This is the Calvetti family's estate. This is mafia territory, not some playground for college girls. Don't get too cocky or you'll burn yourself."My words seemed to infuriate her.Alice raised her hand to slap me across the face. "You bitch, how dare you lecture me!"Before her palm cou

Those photos were taken when we first got married. Domenico had coaxed me into posing for them, saying he wanted to capture my most beautiful moments and keep them just for himself.Now, he had turned those sweet memories into weapons against me.The moment the photos appeared, laughter and wolf whistles erupted from the crowd below. The men's gazes swept over me like starving beasts, their mouths spewing vulgar comments."That body's not bad at all. Who knew Signora Calvetti was so hot...""Wonder if I can get a piece of her tonight. I'd pay top dollar!""One dollar." Domenico's voice rang out again, drowning out all the noise. "The original copies of these photos, along with this woman's services for tonight. One dollar gets you both."His words were the final straw that broke me completely.I shook my head desperately, tears mixing with blood streaming down my face. "Domenico... please don't... I'm begging you, don't do this..."Alice nestled in his arms and covered her mo

The moment the flames shot into the sky, a pair of strong hands yanked me out through the other side of the car window.It was Salvatore's personal bodyguard.I was covered in blood, my consciousness fading. I was shoved into an armored car parked in the shadows.Through the tinted one-way glass, I watched Domenico arrive and rush toward the burning wreckage like a madman. He knelt before the inferno, clutching that plate in his hand. His expression was agonized and lost.I thought I would feel heartbroken, that I would be reluctant to leave. However, as I touched my still aching abdomen and felt the faint flutter of two tiny lives, all I felt was emptiness.Salvatore sat beside me and handed me a tissue. He sighed. "Let's go, child."I looked away. I would not spare that man I had loved for ten years another glance."Signora Calvetti died in that fire."The car started and disappeared silently into the Cecilo night.…Domenico returned to the hospital in shambles. The doctor

The bullet grazed past Alice's cheek and shattered the mirror behind her. Glass shards rained down on her.Alice lost control of her bladder and collapsed to the floor, trembling violently. "Don't kill me! Domenico, don't kill me!"Domenico threw the stack of documents in her face. Papers were scattered across the ground. "So, it was you. It was always you!" He advanced step by step, blood-red tears streaming from his eyes. They were the manifestation of extreme grief and rage."You fabricated that video to frame Lucia. You bribed the doctor to fake your pregnancy. You even tried to kill the children in her womb! Because of a worthless whore like you, I killed the woman I loved most. I killed my own flesh and blood!"He raised the gun and aimed it at Alice's forehead, his finger tight on the trigger."No! Domenico! Don't kill me!" Alice screamed. In this life-or-death moment, she suddenly cried out. "I know a secret about Lucia! About that dagger!"Domenico's finger froze on th

The screen displayed a newly completed acquisition contract. Every asset of the Calvetti family now belonged to me."As for you..." I looked Domenico up and down the same way he had once appraised me at the auction, my eyes full of contempt. "You're not even worthy of licking my boots now."Domenico's face turned deathly pale, but he did not care at all about the wealth and status he had lost. He just stared at me in a daze, as if me being alive was the greatest mercy he could receive."It's okay, it's okay..." he rambled incoherently. "What matters is that you're alive. Lucia, can we start over? I got rid of that bitch Alice. I stayed celibate for three years for you. I think about you every day. I've been atoning every day—""Celibate for three years?" I let out a cold laugh, cutting off his self-indulgent speech. "You didn't do it to atone. You did it to make yourself feel better, to escape the guilt of killing your wife and children with your own hands."Domenico, don't dress
