Chapter 1

“Ladies of the Monroe family, Don Costello has requested that I deliver this to you.”The Consigliere’s voice echoed through the living room as he gently placed a velvet box on the coffee table. I stared at the familiar box, my palms instantly slick with sweat.He lifted the lid, revealing a diamond signet ring lying quietly on the black velvet. Engraved on its face was the Costello family crest—an eagle clutching a dagger in its talons. Under the afternoon sunlight, the diamond refracted a sharp, blinding glare.“The Godfather says the woman he loves is among the four of you.” The Consigliere swept his gaze across us. “Whoever can wear this ring will be the future lady of the Costello family.”Memories from my previous lives came crashing back like a tidal wave. All four of us froze. Each of us had married him once. So who was the woman the Godfather truly wanted?What was worse was that every single one of us had met a brutal end after marrying into his family, from the icy rive

The sound of a car engine roared outside.“He left?” Chloe was the first to rush to the window, peeking through a narrow gap in the curtains as she watched the Consigliere’s car drive away.“He’s gone for now,” Blair collapsed onto the sofa. “But he’ll be back tomorrow night.”Catherine locked the living room door and pulled every curtain shut. When she turned back to face us, her expression was more serious than I had ever seen.“We need to talk.”The four of us, who normally fought like sworn enemies, sat together for once, united by lingering fear.“Talk about what?” I stared at the ring on the table. “Talk about which one of us is going to her death?”“You remember, too?” Blair snapped her head up. “You’re sure you were killed on the wedding night as well?”I sighed. “Didn’t you see it yourself? I was stabbed and sent back covered in blood.”“That was horrible,” Chloe muttered, surprisingly sympathetic for once. “You were soaked in blood. I couldn’t even look.”“Four time

“Are you insane?” Blair was the first to leap up. “Do you really want to go and get yourself killed?”All of them looked at me with a mix of confusion and pity.“I need to confirm something. Wait for my news,” I said, ignoring their admiring expressions as I stood up and left immediately.So far, I was the most puzzled of everyone. After all, I was still Dante’s secret lover. Not long ago, we had been inseparable. He had once told me that I was the love of his life, and the ring had fit my finger perfectly.Night had fallen over the city. I arrived at the luxury penthouse where Dante and I secretly met, looking up at the top floor, its windows glowing warmly. No one knew about this place except his most trusted security.When the elevator doors opened, I used my fingerprint to unlock the apartment door. Dante was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his back to me, the moonlight highlighting the broad contours of his shoulders.Hearing my footsteps, he turned around, briefly

“We have to leave.”The moment I stepped into the living room, I heard Catherine’s voice.She was standing by the fireplace, clutching a thick stack of documents. “I’ve contacted some old friends. The Monroe family still has a few remaining assets in Europe. If we sell them off, it’ll be enough for the four of us to start over.”“No.” I cut her off.Everyone turned to look at me. Then, they surrounded me with anxious expectation, as if hoping I had brought back some kind of miracle.“Isabella?” Blair frowned. “You met the Godfather. What did he say?”“Who exactly is his true love?” Catherine asked urgently.I sat down on the sofa. My mind was still replaying every detail from the apartment earlier. The sense of discordance was overwhelming. Something didn’t add up. However, I wasn’t certain yet, and until I was, I couldn’t drag them into it.“He said I’m his true love,” I said, forcing my voice to stay calm.“If so, why are you hesitating?” Chloe burst out. “Run! You married h

“Are you really going to do this? There’s still time…”That morning, on the day of the wedding, Blair was adjusting the hem of my gown, her voice barely above a whisper as she asked me.“Positive.” I stared at myself in the mirror. The white wedding dress made my face look pale. “So don’t worry. I just need you guys to believe that the plan will go smoothly.”Chloe peeked in through the door. “The car’s here.”The Costello estate was far more heavily guarded than I had imagined.The black limousine passed through three security checkpoints, each manned by armed guards. Surveillance cameras covered every inch of the high walls, and the iron gates were as heavy as those of a prison.In our previous lives, each of us had been married to the Godfather in a church before being sent to the estate. This time, however, the ceremony was taking place directly inside the estate—a sign that something was different.“Oh my God,” Catherine whispered, “this place is like a fortress.”“It’s ea

The bridal suite had been decorated for the wedding. Red roses covered the entire bed, and candlelight flickered softly, the air heavy with an overly sweet floral scent. The curtains were made of deep crimson velvet, thick enough to block out every trace of moonlight. The servants of the estate had all tactfully withdrawn, leaving the space to the Godfather and me alone.On the table sat an apple and a fruit knife. A flicker of unease passed through me, but I knew there was no point hiding it. After all, the weapon that killed me in my last life had not been that knife.I sat on the edge of the bed, hands resting neatly on my thighs. Then, I heard the lock turn. My heart slammed violently against my chest, but my face maintained the shy composure expected of a bride.“My bride.” The Godfather stepped inside and closed the door behind him. “Have you been waiting long?”“No,” I replied, standing up and forcing myself to look obedient.He walked toward me, his movements slow and eleg

The Godfather was utterly shaken by my words. His face twisted as he roared in rage, “You’re the woman I love! Stop doubting me and untie me right now!”I let out a soft laugh and leaned closer to him. “Ha. You still think I’m an idiot. The woman you want to marry—the so-called true love of your life—she probably doesn’t even exist.”“Don’t rush to deny it,” I continued calmly. “You and I both know what the truth really is, don’t we?”I gripped the hunting knife tighter and drove it hard into his thigh.My smile was chilling, and my hand didn’t loosen in the slightest. It was as if I were avenging the four women who had died so miserably in their previous lives. No matter how much pain I inflicted on him, it could never make up for theirs. Like an act of revenge, I shoved the hilt in even deeper.Still, the Godfather stubbornly clung to his lie. “You’re the one I love most. How could I ever kill you? I was only trying to scare you earlier…”Since he refused to tell me the truth,

“How did you get here?” I asked, my voice trembling, utterly shocked.Chloe spoke up, worried. “How could we leave you here alone? That psycho Godfather has killed each of us before! He was acting so strange tonight. We couldn’t possibly stay calm. What if this is the night he takes your life?”Looking at the three of them, a warmth I’d never felt before surged through me. Tears welled up in my eyes.Catherine, noticing our expressions, looked a little awkward. “We’re just temporary allies, helping each other out. After this, I’ll still make the nanny cook the dishes you don’t like.”I couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle.All three of them blushed slightly, and I decided to change the subject. “I’m still curious… How exactly did you get in?”Even though all the servants and guards in the bridal suite had been sent away, there were plenty stationed at the doors and along the way.“We worked together to trick the guards at the gate,” Chloe said proudly. “I played the pitiful

“That’s impossible!” Chloe exclaimed. “His appearance, his voice, and even his habits are exactly the same!”“Yeah,” Blair said in disbelief. “Even his cologne smells identical. There’s no way we could’ve mistaken him.”“At first, I wasn’t completely sure either,” I added awkwardly.“What do you mean?”“When Dante and I were dating, he knew I had a scar on my left wrist. Every time we were close, he would unconsciously touch it. But when I met him before the wedding, he reached for my right hand instead. That’s when something felt wrong.”I raised my left hand. Beneath my sleeve, a thin white scar was faintly visible.Seeing the suspicion on their faces, I quickly continued, “That alone might’ve been too hasty. What really confirmed it was later, when I tied him up.”“He asked me whether I wanted money or power, but the real Dante had transferred his assets to me. A man who had decided to give me everything he owned would never ask me that question.”He had handed over all his

Chapter 10

“No… This can’t be…”I collapsed onto the floor, feeling as though my heart had been torn into pieces. Dante was really dead. The man who had once gently traced the scars on my body and promised to protect me for the rest of my life was gone forever. I closed my eyes, unable to stop the tears from spilling over. Just then, Blair steadied me. She exchanged a look with Catherine and Chloe. The three of them shared a complicated, unspoken understanding.“Isabella,” Catherine suddenly said, her voice hesitant. “There are some things we need to tell you.”“About what?” I lifted my head and looked at them.“About Dante,” Blair said, taking a deep breath. “There’s something we never told you.”“What do you mean?”“Dante… wasn’t only your lover,” Chloe said quietly.My mind went blank, a loud buzzing filling my ears.“What are you talking about?”“Why else do you think the three of us tried so hard to marry him in those past lives?” Catherine said slowly, pulling a letter from her b
