Chapter 1

After I shouted to choose Matteo, my mother, Sofia, looked down at me in shock. "Lia, what are you talking about?! You just told me yesterday that Vincenzo treats you the best. Why are you choosing Matteo now?"Matteo had a terrible reputation among the Families. Everyone said he was bloodthirsty and ruthless, with enough blood on his hands to stain the entire river red. I used to hide whenever I saw him, crying and begging my mother to hold me. But they would never know that in my last life, the terrifying Diavolo Sanguinario was the only one who avenged my mother and me.I gritted my teeth and grabbed my mother's clothes with my hand. "No! I want Matteo! Vincenzo is a bad man. You can't choose him!"My grandfather, Giuseppe, had just started to speak when he suddenly started to cough violently. The private doctor immediately rushed over and quickly helped him away.Before he left, my grandfather looked at Mom and me for a long moment, his eyes full of worry as the guests around u

My mother's expression turned cold when she heard Vincenzo asking her to apologize. "I won't apologize for something I never did."The moment she finished speaking, one of Vincenzo's men rushed forward and kicked her in the knee. My mother let out a gasp and dropped to her knees on the cold marble floor, sweat instantly beading her forehead.I was so scared, and I cried as I reached for her. "Mom! Mom, are you okay?"Vincenzo walked over and kicked me to the ground. My forehead slammed into the sharp corner of the cake table. A blinding pain shot through me, and warm blood trickled down my face.I wiped at it and saw my hand come away red.The second my mother saw I was bleeding, she immediately crawled over and shielded me. However, Vincenzo viciously stepped on her fingers and ground them under his foot. My mother's face turned pale with pain, and even her voice was shaking as she said, "Vincenzo, let me go! Lia's still a child!"Vincenzo let out a sneer, his eyes full of conte

The pain I expected never came as a pair of strong hands caught me instead.It was Matteo!I raised my head and looked up at him. He was dressed in a black suit with the Sorrentino family crest pinned to his collar. His face was expressionless, but a terrifying aura surrounded his entire being.He held me close, then reached down and helped my mother up from the floor."This is a birthday party organized by the Rossi family. Outsiders don't get to cause trouble here." His voice was not loud, but the whole banquet hall went silent. Everyone looked at him, their eyes full of fear and caution.Vincenzo's men rushed forward at once. One of them slammed a fist into Matteo's face, and blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth.Then, even more men closed in. They punched him from every side as they mocked him and beat him."Matteo, you bloodthirsty lunatic. You think you can interfere in Vincenzo's business?""Do you think the Don would ever let Sofia marry you? You're ju

After we left the birthday party, Mom took me to the Family's private hospital.The doctor treated the wound on my forehead and wrapped it in gauze. My mother stayed by my side the whole time, her eyes red, and she said nothing.I held my mother's hand and said in a childlike voice, "Mom, don't be sad. Matteo will protect us from now on, and we'll never have to be afraid of Vincenzo again."Mom patted my head and sighed. "Lia, how do you know all this? You're only five."I lowered my head. I did not dare to tell her I had regressed. So, I could only say, "I just feel like he's a good man, and Vincenzo is a bad man."My mother did not press me as she simply pulled me into her arms and held me tight, almost as though she was afraid I might disappear.-As my grandfather's condition kept fluctuating, the engagement party was forced to move up. This party would also decide who would become the next don of the Rossi family.The entire underworld from Silabria was watching. Everyone

That one sentence my grandfather's underboss announced shook the entire banquet hall. Everyone froze for a moment before people began to discuss among themselves."It's Matteo? Him?! How?!""Why would Don Rossi choose a bloodthirsty madman to be his heir?!""Vincenzo is finished this time. All that work for nothing."Carla's face went pale. She stood there frozen, her eyes full of disbelief.Vincenzo was stunned as well, and it took him a few seconds to finally react to the news. Thinking that the underboss had read it wrong, he roared, "That's impossible! My name has to be on that document! Did Matteo bribe you?!"The underboss ignored him. He simply looked around for Matteo with the document in hand.Just then, the doors to the banquet hall opened, and my grandfather walked in with the doctor's support. He was dressed in a black suit. His face was pale, and he had gotten much thinner, but his authority was still absolute.The entire banquet hall fell silent as everyone lowere

Vincenzo wanted to ruin my mother's and my reputation so he could weaken Matteo's claim to the inheritance, but the moment he was done speaking, Matteo punched him to the floor with one strike. Blood immediately trickled from Vincenzo's nose and stained his suit scarlet red.Then, Matteo towered over him and began punching his face one punch after another, each one thrown with full force. Vincenzo howled in pain as he curled on the ground, unable to fight back."Are you slandering Sofia and Lia? You must have a death wish." Matteo's voice was icy and without a hint of warmth, and the killing intent in his eyes made everyone around him shudder.It wasn't until Vincenzo had been beaten black and blue on his face as he lay on his back that Matteo finally stopped.Matteo then got up to his feet and pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket. "This is the report for Lia's paternity test. Lia is my biological daughter."Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned before discussions erupte

My mother leaned against Matteo as she looked at Vincenzo. "Even now, you're still lying? From the moment you pushed me into the water and then used that so-called rescue to make your way into the Rossi family, to teaming up with Carla to spread rumors and harass Lia and me, and then trying to seize my father's status… Every single thing you've done since then has been filthy.""You think escaping will allow you to turn the tables?" Matteo's men quickly closed in around Vincenzo, surrounding him tightly. "You won't get to do what you want in Rossi territory without consequences."Vincenzo looked at the men surrounding him and knew he had no chance in a direct fight. He suddenly pulled out a grenade from under his coat and pulled the pin, his eyes full of madness. "I dare you to come closer! We can all die together in a worst-case scenario! If I can't have what I want, none of you can either!"My mother's expression changed as she held me tight and backed away. Meanwhile, Matteo step

Vincenzo roared and pressed the knife harder against Carla's neck. "Shut up! Don't you act pitiful in front of her! You witch… If you hadn't driven a wedge between Sofia and me back then, how could I have ended up like this today?!"He turned to my mother, the madness in his eyes twisted into something desperate as his voice came out hoarse. "Sofia, this only happened because of Carla! As long as she dies, we can go back to the way things were. You'll get me out of this, won't you? You still have feelings for me, right? You only chose Matteo because you were angry and you wanted to get back at me, right? As long as you help clear my name, I'll take good care of you and never make you angry again! We'll control everything in the Rossi family together!"As Vincenzo spoke, he pulled a few crumpled candies from his pocket and threw them at my feet. Then, he forced out an ugly smile. "Lia, look. These are your favorite candies from when you were little. Hurry up and call me 'Dad'. I'll bu

Chapter 9

Before Vincenzo and his knife could reach my mother and me, a gunshot rang through the room.I opened my eyes and saw Vincenzo on the floor with a hole in his forehead, blood pouring out. The knife had fallen from his hand, and his eyes, which were full of rage and despair, were still wide open. His body twitched a few times, then went still.He was dead.Matteo stepped out of the shadows behind us, smoke coming out from the barrel of his gun. He walked over as he tucked the gun back into his holster and gently patted my head. "Don't be scared. I'm here, and it's all over now. No one will ever hurt you or Mommy again."I threw myself into Matteo's arms and wrapped my arms tight around his neck. All the fear and hurt I had been holding back for so long came rushing out. I cried and sobbed as I said, "Dad, I'm scared. I was so scared... I never want to see him again..."It was the first time I had called him "Dad" like that.Matteo stiffened a little, then hugged me close and gave

Chapter 10

By the time we exited the hospital, the reporters had already crowded the entrance. Matteo had his men expose everything Carla had done. It didn't take long for Carla's scandals to spread all over Silabria, and everyone saw her for the vicious woman she truly was.She had become a public enemy.On the day she was discharged from the hospital, a crowd was already waiting outside. They hurled stones at her, cursing her as she got out. She covered her head and ran in a panic.The beauty she had once possessed slowly faded away as she continuously suffered humiliation. She ended up on the streets in the end, becoming a madwoman with unkempt hair and ragged clothes, crouching by the roadside every day, crying out for her dead child again and again.No one recognized her anymore, but no one pitied her. That was the punishment she deserved.Vincenzo was dead. Carla had genuinely gone mad. Everyone who had tormented my mother and me in my last life had finally gotten what they deserved, t
