Semua Bab An Identity Reveal Leads to Regret: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I struggled to open my eyes, though blood had blurred my vision. I made a raspy sound as I opened my mouth, and the moment I tried to speak, a mouthful of blood surged out instead.My Mamma, Rosalina Vitelli, let out a primal wail and gathered me into her arms; her custom white cashmere coat immediately stained with blood. "What's the matter, Grazia? Please don't frighten me, Grazia!"It was then that my fiance, Luca Moretti, leaned over the edge of the rooftop and explained impatiently, "You shouldn't let her deceive you, Donna Moretti. She jumped on purpose to frame Serena. How bad could a two-story drop be anyway?"Serena Salvatore cowered behind Luca, weeping as she said, "It's all my fault. Grazia has every right to be mad at me. After all, I've taken her place in the Salvatore Famiglia for so many years. I shouldn't remain here anymore now that she has returned."Mamma lifted her head sharply, her eyes brimming with killing intent as she stared at the pair on the rooftop. "

Antonio worked for two straight hours to stabilize my failing heart. He was a veteran doctor who had served the Salvatore Famiglia for two decades. He shook his head in resignation, his sighs echoing sharply through the room."Ms. Grazia's body is at its limit, Donna Salvatore. She already had a weak heart to begin with, and this recent trauma has worsened the situation. I don't know how much time Ms. Grazia has left, Donna Salvatore."Antonio didn't conclude his statement. However, his meaning was understood by all.Mamma collapsed into a chair, looking ten years older all of a sudden. She dismissed everyone and remained by my bedside, silently holding my cold hand.Luca was restrained in the courtyard by bodyguards. His legs were broken, and his screams became increasingly piercing.Serena was on her knees in the courtyard, crying uncontrollably. "I'm begging you, Mamma—Luca did it for my sake! You can punish me instead of him!"Papa roared outside the door, "Do you truly inten

In that instant, the temperature in the cold storage became frighteningly low.Serena's triumphant expression went rigid as she stood frozen in place, looking deathly pale under the flashlight's intense beam. Papa fixed his gaze on her, his lips trembling. "What did you just say just now, Serena?"Marco couldn't believe that Serena, the sister he had pampered his whole life, was capable of such malice. "You were the one who greased the rooftop and spiked the medication?"Serena panicked and dropped to her knees. "I can explain everything, Papa and Marco! It's all a misunderstanding! Grazia made me do it! She was trying to kill me, so I only said those things to play along with her!"Serena scrambled toward Papa to cling to his leg, only for Mamma to sneer derisively and strike out with her Colt 1911. She cried out as the gun barrel left a bloody gash on the back of her hand.Mamma moved forward and kicked Serena squarely in the chest, sending Serena crashing into the wall and co

It wasn't long before a middle-aged couple was escorted in.Bruno Gallo bellowed the moment he walked in, "You're Rosalina, huh? What right do you have to lock up my daughter?"Paola Marino followed suit, making a scene. "Oh, my poor daughter! She's been your daughter all these years, and now you harm her for the one you just brought back! If you won't treat her like a daughter, we'll take her back!"Mamma furrowed her brow and ordered the bodyguards with a wave of her hand. "Get them to speak properly."It was then that two bodyguards stepped forward and began slapping them repeatedly across the face, the sound echoing through the air. It didn't take long for both Bruno's and Paola's faces to become bruised and swollen.Bruno spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at us. "How dare you hit me! Do you even have any idea who I am?"Mamma sneered. "I don't care who you are. Your daughter tried to murder mine, so she must pay with her life. If you want to get the authorities involve

Upon hearing about Ornella's death, Serena went hysterical. She kept yelling in the basement, claiming that she was the Principessa of the Salvatore Famiglia and demanding to see Mamma.Those watching over her grew tired of her and tortured her in various ways every day. She had become almost unrecognizable in just a few days.Luca's wounds became infected, leaving him with a high fever in the basement. He succumbed to death in less than three days.Upon hearing the news, Papa and Marco broke down in tears, though it was far too late to change anything.Under the supervision of the Vitelli Famiglia's doctors, I started feeling a lot better. I was still unable to do any heavy physical activity, but I could finally get out of bed and move about.That day, Mamma wheeled me into the basement, where Serena was huddled in a corner. She lifted her head at the sound of footsteps, and upon seeing me, her eyes flared with rage. "You bitch! How come you're still alive, Grazia?"She tried
