8 Chapters

Chapter 1

I could still hear the lawyer's robotic voice echoing in my ears as I walked out of the lawyer's office."The will is authentic and valid, Ms. Aurora Fasano."Authentic and valid.Those three words shattered everything I thought was the truth in my seven years of marriage.I wandered aimlessly along the street until I stopped in front of a massive glass window of a restaurant that was very brightly lit.I saw my family inside one of the private rooms, along with Luca Bernardi, my husband of seven years.The waiter was holding a three-layer cake in his hands as he approached the table.Luca was sitting at the head of the table with a little boy about four or five years of age in his lap. They looked like they'd been cast from the same mold.The little boy grabbed a handful of cake and smeared it all over the place, laughing and giggling loudly as he wiped his grimy hands on Luca's impeccable suit.Luca was a serious germophobe and would immediately frown if someone even acciden

Chapter 2

As soon as I got home, I contacted a lawyer and drafted up my divorce papers. Then, I booked a plane ticket to a small island far away, completely out of Luca's reach and influence, for a week later.After I was done with that, I went into the study and opened up the box I'd kept in the dusty corner for a long time. It was filled with the love letters Luca wrote to me in the early stages of our relationship. There was also a pair of mugs in it, carved with our names, and a few laughable couple trinkets.I threw all of them into the fireplace and watched them turn into ashes.A loud bang was heard from the entryway whilst the fire was blazing at its peak.Luca rushed into the house anxiously and ran over to me, pulling me into a tight hug as soon as he saw me. He sighed in relief and asked, "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer any of my calls?"His voice was trembling as he continued, "You gave me such a fright. I thought something terrible had happened to you!""I went out

The high fever knocked me out completely after that. When I woke up again, I realized that I was already in the hospital. The doctor said that I had to stay at the hospital for a while for further observation. However, I would be free to go once my conditions improved.While on the way to the pharmacy connected to the hospital, I happened to walk past the VIP ward and heard Angela's sobs from behind one of the doors."Luca… Nico is being bullied in school for not having a father… And then Nico broke his arm after getting into a fight with them…""Who are they?" Luca asked. His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.Angela rattled off a few names from her head."Got it," Luca said coldly. "Don't worry about it anymore. They won't be causing Nico any more trouble after this.""Luca…"Angela began sobbing even harder now. "Are Nico and I going to have to live in the shadows like this for the rest of our lives?"I'm fine with it, but Nico's stil

Chapter 4

Luca only discovered that I was missing two days later.He came back from the hospital that day and realized that the mansion was dark and empty. At first, he thought that I was in the study or in the bedroom, but after throwing every door open, he still didn't find me anywhere.My home slippers in the entryway were still there, and my winter clothing was also all untouched in the wardrobe. Only the handbag I always brought with me wherever I went was missing.Luca stood in front of the wardrobe that was now half empty and called my number.But I'd turned my phone off.He called again, and the outcome was still the same.He tried calling the company and my best friend after that, trying to get a hold of my whereabouts. He called everyone he could think of who'd probably know where I went, but nobody knew anything at all."Luca?"Angela's voice appeared behind him. He didn't know when or how she got in, but she was holding a thermal flask in her hands with just the right amount

Chapter 5

In my third week in Grandavia, I had rented a small apartment and enrolled myself in a language school there.I didn't have much money with me, and it would last me for a long time.However, I could always make my own money. I was living a life of true freedom without any betrayal this time.One afternoon, I went to the supermarket, and wasn't paying attention when crossing the street. A car happened to pass by just then, and it stopped after barely grazing my knee. It wasn't a serious injury as it was just a superficial scrape and some bruises.The driver was a very handsome young man. He immediately got out of the car to apologize and insisted on sending me to the hospital."I'm fine. I'll just put a band-aid over it," I said.He looked at my knee and didn't press any further. Instead, he grabbed the first-aid kit from his car and said, "At least disinfect the wound first."I took the iodine solution from him and thanked him.He looked to be in his early 30s, and he was weari

Chapter 6

It was raining the day Luca arrived in Grandavia.He didn't have my address. All he had was just an immigration record and the last location of a credit card that I'd used.He spent the next three days ordering his men to comb through every nook and cranny in this town, and on the fourth day, he finally found me sitting by the lake.I was sitting on a bench with a stack of books in my lap while chatting with the man next to me.I was also wearing a light-colored sweater that he'd never seen before. My hair was loosely pulled into a ponytail as the golden rays of sunshine shone on my side profile while I smiled happily at something Ivan said.The smile on my face was not one of flattery, restraint, or weariness that he was used to seeing on me. He just couldn't get used to me smiling like that at another person who wasn't himself.He was frozen in place behind me, not even noticing that the rain was dripping into his shirt.Alexandro reminded him about it in a low voice. "Don, do

Chapter 7

Three days later, I received word that Luca had been hospitalized.He wasn't lying about it, though, as he was actually very seriously injured. During the altercation, a glass shard had cut his artery, but he refused to receive treatment on the spot.By the time his men forcibly took him to the hospital, he had already lost too much blood.Ivan asked me, "Do you want to visit him?"I didn't reply.He didn't press further either and just arranged for me to visit Luca during visiting hours.Luca's ward was on the topmost floor, and he was the only patient there.He was awake and staring up at the ceiling when I pushed the door open and went in.A needle attached to an IV drip had been inserted into the back of his hand, and his injured arm was all wrapped up in gauze. He wasn't wearing the crazy expensive suit anymore, but rather, a hospital gown instead, and his hair fell softly over his forehead, framing his face.He didn't look like a mafia Don at all. Rather, he looked more

Chapter 8

The day Ivan proposed to me was a rare sunny day in Gandavia.There was no ring and no grand gestures of any sort. He simply asked me casually, like he was just asking me out on a bookstore date the next day.He looked at me affectionately and said, "Will you marry me, Aurora?"I stared into his eyes. There was no scrutiny, no slyness, and no calculation. He was simply looking at me with pure intentions while waiting for my answer."Alright," I said.He smiled, and it was a genuine one this time. I rarely ever saw him smile.…Our tiny wedding was held three months later in Grandavia. We didn't invite many guests to the small chapel by the lake. I wore a white dress, and Ivan wore a dark gray suit.While exchanging our vows, I suddenly remembered the day Luca proposed to me, many, many years ago.The ring he gave me was a very expensive one. He also promised that he would always treat me well, and I had believed him.The sun shone brightly that day, and I thought that it was
