Chapter 1

Leonardo Ferrante stormed into my house like a man possessed.The moment he saw Vittoria Greco lying on the floor with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, his expression immediately turned murderous."Have you lost your mind, Camilla Marino?"I stood where I was, looking up at him."You barged into my house, pointing and yelling at me for the sake of a cheap mistress who isn't fit to be seen in public. Leonardo, aren't you the one who's lost your mind?"Leonardo pressed his lips tightly together, saying nothing.Vittoria struggled to crawl to his feet. She then lifted her face, swollen from my slap, and said tearfully, "Leonardo, we're getting engaged next week. H-How am I supposed to explain to my parents if they see me like this?"She wept in bitter despair.I saw a flicker of hesitation in Leonardo's eyes. The next second, he suddenly pressed a knife against my throat.In a calm yet cruel voice, he said, "Camilla, everyone knows about what happened to you back then.

Back then, Leonardo covered my eyes with one hand and whispered in my ear, "Don't look, Camilla. It's dirty."Now, he was covering another woman's eyes and thinking of me as the dirty one."Camilla, don't push me to do something even more ruthless," he said coldly with his back to me.After he left, I curled my lips in bitter sorrow and had someone take Stefano for treatment."Burn everything Leonardo ever gave me," I ordered in an eerily calm voice. "Spread the word—whoever that takes Vittoria out is a friend of mine."The news of my falling out with Leonardo spread through the entire circle like wildfire."If you ask me, Leonardo was never really interested in that damaged goods.""I heard he's guarding his new woman like a fortress, watching over her round the clock. When did Camilla ever get that kind of treatment?""Right? Back then, when Leonardo went all out for her, it was only because of her family's influence. Now that her family has lost their power, who would want t

In that moment, my heart shattered completely."Leonardo, I'll remember this slap," I said, wiping away my tears as I looked at him. "From today on, there's nothing between us but a fight to the death.As the words left my lips, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into a secluded corner. There, he kissed and nibbled my lips with brutal intensity."Camilla, I already told you I only love you. Vittoria is still young. Her broadcasting that video was just a childish act of jealousy. Why must you make such a big deal out of it?"So, to him, the video of my assault was nothing more than proof of his new lover's childishness. Even though my heart was dead, it still hurt.I shoved him away and fiercely wiped off the traces of his kiss."Leonardo, you let Vittoria tear open my old wounds and say I'm the one making a scene? Have you forgotten who humiliated me? I was the one who was harmed by your enemies while trying to save you!"I stepped forward until I was almost pressed again

Chapter 4

Leonardo swept a cold glance, and the two men behind him immediately stepped forward, slamming their feet hard into the backs of my knees.A wave of excruciating pain shot through me, and I was forced down onto the rough ground with a heavy thud."Ms. Marino!" Aurora rushed out of the car and threw herself in front of me. Then, she turned to Leonardo with a frantic explanation. "Mr. Ferrante, that's not how it happened! Ms. Marino never laid a hand on Vittoria. It was Vittoria herself who—"Before she could finish, a flash of cold steel sliced through the air. Without a moment's hesitation, Leonardo drove the dagger deep into Aurora's leg.Aurora let out a sharp cry of pain and crumpled to her knees as blood gushed from the wound."One more word from you, and the next cut goes in your mouth," Leonardo warned viciously.Watching Aurora curled up in agony, I felt my breath almost stop entirely.I had brought Aurora out of the orphanage myself and treated her like my own sister. Le

"Boss, you gave the order to teach Ms. Marino the rules. According to our rules, when you put out that order, we had to carry it out. Whatever she did to Ms. Greco, we gave it back to her double," one of his men replied."Bullshit!" Leonardo roared into the phone, veins bulging at his temples. "You all know Camilla is my woman! How dare you hurt her like this? Where is she?"Take her to the hospital immediately! If anything happens to her, I'll bury every last one of you with her!"He stormed out of the hospital like a beast completely consumed by madness. Then, he sped the entire way, running through red light after red light, his heart gripped by an unprecedented terror that nearly suffocated him.When he burst back into that abandoned warehouse, reeking of violence, what he saw was a female corpse with her face beyond recognition.His men knelt in a row, battered and trembling."What exactly did you do?" Leonardo asked hoarsely, his voice carrying the force of utter destructio

Leonardo raised his head, his gaze like ice as it swept across the faces of his men."Who laid a hand on Camilla just now?"No one dared to answer, and only stifled, trembling breaths could be heard."None of you will admit it, huh?" Leonardo twisted his face into a cruel smile. "Then, I'll hold every last one of you accountable."He pulled out his phone and dialed a number."Bring men to the abandoned warehouse on the west side to clear the place. Every single one of those kneeling on the ground…" He paused, each word heavy with bloody intent. "Break their limbs and dump them into the open sea to feed the fish."The moment the order was given, the warehouse instantly filled with cries of anguish and pleas for mercy.However, Leonardo seemed not to hear them. He walked over to the dark red pool of blood, slowly crouching down. With that scar-covered, trembling hand, he gently touched the half-coagulated blood.The cold, sticky sensation against his fingertips made his heart con

"Use every resource we have. Even if you have to turn this city upside down, find Camilla! If she's alive, I want to see her. And if she's—" Leonardo stopped short. "No. She can't be…"His Adam's apple bobbed, but the word "dead" never left his lips. He simply waved his hand, exhaustion and ruthlessness mingling in his gesture."You must find her, no matter what!"Meanwhile, I had been quietly whisked back to a secret base by my own men.At that critical moment, they rushed in and took out Leonardo's men. Then, they faked the corpse to get me out. Otherwise, the one lying in that pool of blood would have been me.The moment the door closed behind me, all the strength I had been forcing myself to hold onto vanished in an instant. I leaned back against the cold door and slowly slid down to the floor."Ms. Marino." Aurora's worried and tearful voice came through the door. Her leg had clearly been bandaged, but she was still struggling to move. "Are you alright? I've asked someone to

Chapter 8

Three days later, an extremely explicit video began circulating within the most secretive circles of Fairview.The video featured the few surviving men who had assaulted me in the warehouse that day and Vittoria, who had been drugged.The backdrop was unmistakably the room of the private club where Vittoria held VIP membership. The sight of them lost in their debauchery was captured in crystal-clear detail.That same night, Enzo Greco, Vittoria's Padre, smashed his favorite antique vase in a fit of rage in his study. The Greco family's business empire had suffered blow after blow, their stock price plummeting.Panicked, Vittoria rushed to find Leonardo, only to be stopped by his men at the gate."Leonardo! Leonardo, let me explain! What happened in that video was all Camilla's doing! She's trying to ruin me!" Vittoria wailed outside Leonardo's villa.Inside the villa, Leonardo stared at the copy of the video his men had delivered, along with the gathered evidence of Vittoria's pl

"Are you really so ruthless that you won't stop until you've ruined me completely?" Vittoria asked.I leaned forward slightly and replied emphatically, "Vittoria, you brought all of this upon yourself."No sooner had I said that, the cafe door swung open. Several uniformed officers stepped inside and walked straight toward her."Ms. Vittoria Greco, you are under arrest on multiple charges, including incitement to commit a crime, illegal dealings, and intentional injury. This is your arrest warrant. Please come with us."Vittoria crumpled to the floor, her face ashen. But the officers pulled her to her feet.Just then, the cafe door burst open again.Leonardo rushed in, still bearing the marks of travel. His anxiousness was written plainly across his face.His men had told him they'd spotted me here. He instantly locked onto my slender, upright back, his heart pounding wildly."Camilla!" he cried hoarsely, his voice carrying the panic of something lost and found again and the we
