All Chapters of Rebirth: I Quit the Drama and Play Matchmaker Instead: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Viviana, call Serafina!"Hearing that familiar command again, I jolted awake.I had been reborn.Without hesitation, I dialed Serafina Calvetti's number. Dante Ravenna's face flushed crimson, his gaze burning with hazy desire as he looked at me.In my past life, I made the fatal mistake of giving myself to him because of that look. In the end, I died along with my unborn child.This time, I avoided his lust-filled eyes, clouded by whatever drug was coursing through his system, and left his room quickly."Dante, hang in there. Your precious Serafina will be here in ten minutes. I'm leaving!"The moment I shut the door, I heard him force words through gritted teeth. It sounded like he was calling my name.I had to run. I refused to die again.I fled, slammed the door behind me, and stood guard outside. The corridor of the Ravenna estate stretched silent around me, only the glow from the wall sconces pooling on the floor and casting my tense silhouette.Ten minutes later, Seraf

The days that followed passed simply enough.Serafina made a point of flaunting her relationship with Dante in front of me every day, eager to stake her claim. Dante was still angry with me, and this time I was determined not to appease him.Life at the Ravenna estate felt calm on the surface but suffocating underneath. I spent my days secretly handling the paperwork to leave the country, terrified Dante would find out.A month later, Serafina announced she was pregnant.Dante excitedly shared the news with the entire Ravenna family. The old Don gave his blessing for their marriage.Everyone in the family threw themselves into wedding preparations. From the venue to security, everything was arranged according to the highest standards.In this life, his one true love was the one carrying his child. I decided to let them have their happiness.The moment my paperwork cleared, I booked a flight to Cecily. The departure date fell on their wedding day.Dante finally broke first and c

A few months later, Serafina's due date arrived.Dante stayed by her side day and night. He'd arranged for the best private doctors and nurses to stay at the estate, making sure nothing could go wrong.The day she went into labor, he wore a path into the floor outside the delivery room. As the Don of the Ravenna family, he had never felt so helpless. Even his fingertips trembled.They said childbirth was a matter of life and death, but he couldn't do anything except stand outside the door and pray silently for her and their child's safety. This was his first child, the future heir to the Ravenna family.Matteo, Serafina's childhood friend, waited just as anxiously outside the delivery room. He stood guard by the door too, fighting against the bodyguards who tried to keep him from rushing inside.Dante's brow furrowed in irritation. This man always showed up at the worst possible moments.Dante had despised Matteo for a long time now. If not for Serafina's sake, he would've made t

Viviana's Point-of-ViewAt that time, I was so busy in Cecily that I had no time to worry about what was happening back in New Yis.The sunlight in Cecily was warm and bright, completely different from New Yis' cold gloom. Everything here made me feel at peace.I'd gotten into a prestigious university in Cecily and was studying finance. I wanted to survive on my own abilities, without depending on anyone or any family ever again.For the past six months, I'd thrown myself into my studies. I left early every morning and came home late at night. Apart from eating and sleeping, I spent every moment studying.The academic atmosphere on campus was excellent, and I'd made friends with students from all over the world. We attended classes together, spent hours in the library together, and I settled into my new life quickly.Before, I'd devoted all my energy to Dante and the Ravenna family. I rarely focused on my education.Both my parents had been financial elites. After they died in t

Dante approached me cautiously, wanting to wrap his arms around me, but in the end, he lowered them. He was afraid of scaring me, afraid I'd push him away again."Viviana, you promised you'd stay by my side forever. You said the Ravenna estate was your home, that I was your family."I laughed coldly. "But you were the one who pushed me away first."He choked on his words and sighed softly. "I should've understood my own heart sooner. That's why I lost you. It wasn't until you were gone that I realized the person I've always loved is you."Before, I couldn't face your feelings because of our relationship. I was afraid of what people would say, afraid it would ruin your reputation."But I've figured it out now. I love you. I can't ignore it. You're irreplaceable. We can be together without caring what anyone thinks. Forever. What do you say?"Dante moved to embrace me excitedly. I shoved him away hard.I stepped back, putting a safe distance between us.His eyes turned crimson. H
