Chapter 1

The day Titus Holt announced he would take us back with him, I was packing my luggage.He walked into the room, casually glanced at my luggage, and commented with a frown, "The Riso family is a noble household. They have everything. If you need something, you can buy it when we get back."My hand paused. The precious items that were fiercely fought over in the slums were now just a pile of junk in the eyes of my husband, who had been reclaimed by a noble family.However, I had no intention of going back to Napple with him. These were all the belongings I was taking to Swizor. I was about to tell Titus that I would not go back with him, but I was interrupted by Melissa Gunther."Titus, I..." Melissa jogged over, her eyes slightly red and her voice choked. "I really... don't know how to thank you. I've suffered so much in these slums. I never thought I would be so lucky to have you take me to such a wonderful place. You've given me a new life!"She looked up, pretending to just noti

Knowing Titus' attitude, I no longer threw tantrums as I did in my previous life. Instead, I obediently accepted his arrangement because I knew that it would not make any difference, no matter how much I argued.Titus would just suppress everything.My silence seemed to please Titus. He softened his tone and cooed to me in a low voice, "Once we move to Napple, I'll buy you whatever you like, even if it means moving an entire luxury boutique into our home. All that matters is that you want it."Melissa's eyes sparkled as she clung to Titus' arm and wheedled. "Titus, can I have a designer bag too? You know my childhood dream was to have my own bag..."Titus seemed to recall their childhood memories, and his gaze became even gentler. "I'll always keep one of whatever I have for you. That's the promise I made to you once."Melissa gave me a challenging look and tugged at Titus, recounting their childhood stories. They had known each other for a longer time than I had. In the past, I o

Holding all my belongings, I spent the night huddled on the cramped couch. I was woken up by hunger at 5:00 AM. As usual, I went to the narrow kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family.Just as I had heated the milk, Melissa walked in and took the pot from me. "Noelle, let me help you."Before I could warn her to be careful of the heat, Melissa let out a cry and threw the pot of milk at my feet. Almost all of the scalding milk splashed on my feet, burning me so badly that I almost fainted.However, Melissa's cries drowned out my cries of pain. "Ouch! It hurts so much. Noelle, are you still mad at me?"A few drops of scalding milk splashed onto her hand, causing a faint redness to appear on her fair skin. Melissa's scream drew Titus over. Seeing the burn on her hand, Titus glared at me furiously. "Noelle, what's wrong with you? You can even hurt others while cooking. Melissa is sensitive; why did you let her touch these?"The tenants in the rental house yawned and gathered arou

The next morning, the Riso family's motorcade drove into the slum in a grand procession. Several black luxury cars were parked neatly on the shabby square, out of place with the surrounding decrepit environment.People nearby rushed out to watch, gathering in groups while they criticized.The accompanying servants swiftly put away all the items.Titus stood by the car, occasionally tiptoeing to peer at the distant intersection. He took out his phone and checked it repeatedly. Regret somehow rose in his heart. He wondered if he had gone too far when he asked me not to return to the rental house, and whether I suffered any injustice by spending the whole night outside the slum.As soon as this thought occurred, Melissa walked over, holding Christian's hand. She said with a grin, "Titus, everything is ready. The butler and the rest are waiting. It's time for us to get in the car."Titus came to his senses, frowned, and glanced at his phone. "Let's wait a bit more. Noelle hasn't retur

The Riso family's motorcade sped along, and soon, they arrived at the heavily guarded Riso Manor.As soon as they reached the entrance, the core family members were already waiting there, warmly welcoming Titus' return.The butler saw Titus and immediately walked forward, respectfully saying, "Sir, the Don is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me."Titus nodded and followed the butler upstairs. Pushing open the heavy door, he saw a frail old man lying on a massive bed. The old man's complexion was pale, but his eyes were still sharp.He was the current Don of the Riso family—Arnod Riso."My son, come here." Arnod beckoned to Titus, his voice weak yet authoritative.Titus walked to the bed and looked at his unfamiliar father, unable to put his finger on how he felt.Seeing Titus, Arnod's eyes immediately reddened as he struggled to sit up. His voice was weak and full of remorse. "My son, I did you wrong. You've suffered so much out there all these years."Titus felt a pang

As expected, under Titus' unrestrained indulgence, Melissa spent her days either shopping or at the beauty salon. She no longer fawned over Christian or revolved around him as she used to.Back in the rental house, I had taken meticulous care of Christian. Now that they had moved into Riso Manor, Christian was having a hard time. He was constantly in a bad mood and looked glum all day long.Titus was occupied with the Riso family's affairs all day, often leaving early and returning late. He had no time for Christian. The housekeepers in the manor only followed the rules and had no idea about his preferences.One night, Christian suddenly felt feverish and was tossing and turning in bed, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He struggled to get up for help, but the housekeeper on duty outside the door was nowhere to be found. He forced himself to call Melissa, but no one answered after it rang for a long time.Melissa was busy attending a high-society dinner and did not notice his distre

After Melissa returned from the hospital, she could not feel at peace. She was determined to become Titus' woman as soon as possible and completely take over as Donna.That night, Titus was handling affairs in the study while Melissa, wearing a sexy nightgown, walked in holding a glass of red wine. "Titus, you've had a long day. Have a drink to relax."Titus took the glass and took a few sips. Not long after, he felt himself burning and dizzy. It was like there was a burning sensation in his body. He looked up at Melissa, his eyes filled with shock and anger.Melissa slowly approached him before adding gently, "Titus, I know you've been very tired recently. I'll stay with you all night."Her fingertips gently brushed against his chest before she began to unbutton his shirt, her tone coquettish yet urgent. "Haven't you always loved me? Leave Noelle, and we'll get married, okay?"Titus shoved her aside, supporting himself to stand up with the table. His face was ashen. "Melissa, don

Fred received Titus' order and immediately set off for the slums. He searched the slums thoroughly and asked the neighbors nearby, but could not find any trace of me.Unable to delay any longer, he rushed back to Riso Manor that night and reported to Titus immediately, "Don Riso, there's no trace of the Donna in the slum. I checked her immigration records. She went to Swizor the night before you returned to Napple.""Swizor?" Titus staggered a step backward, his face filled with disbelief. Even his voice was trembling. "What is she doing in Swizor? Look into it and find out her exact location in Swizor. I want to see her and ask her in person!"Fred looked troubled and replied in a whisper, "Don Riso, the Donna seems to have deliberately hidden her whereabouts. We only found out she went to Swizor so far. We'll need time to find out the exact address."Titus waved his hand, and Fred silently left.Titus was alone in the study. His heart felt like it was tightly grasped by a hand,

After Melissa was confined to the manor, her temper became increasingly irritable. She would lash out at the housekeepers at the slightest provocation, and smashing things was a common occurrence for her.The housekeepers often gathered together to complain."This lazy woman orders us around all day long!""The Don has grown tired of her. I think it won't be long before she's kicked out!""I heard Donna is gentle and kind. I really hope she can come back soon."These remarks reached Melissa's ears without any omission. She trembled with anger as strong resentment grew in her heart. She hated Titus' cold-heartedness, and she hated even more that I would threaten her position if I returned.Since Titus no longer cared about their old bond, there was no need for her to show mercy.Melissa privately contacted Titus' cousin, Adachi Riso. Adachi had long coveted the position of Don; the two of them hit it off immediately and began to secretly collude.Melissa was responsible for deli

Chapter 10

After leaving Napple, I arrived in Zorio, Swizor and began a brand new life here.I met a kind baker, Danny Lerman.When I was in the slums, I always baked bread for Christian. I had basic knowledge of it and was quite talented in baking. After learning from Danny for a short while, I completed my apprenticeship.I opened a small bakery with my own efforts.Staying at the bakery every day and smelling the sweet aroma of the bread, my life was peaceful and stable. There was no suspicion or resentment. This was a life I never dared to imagine.One day, I was busy packing bread for my customers when a familiar and hoarse voice rang out. "Can you make me some buns?"It was Titus, with a tired face and bloodshot eyes. He hurried toward me, his voice hoarse and full of affection. "Noelle, I'm sorry. I have seen through Melissa's true colors and sorted out all the matters. Would you go back with me? I'll give you the very best of everything.He paused, tears flowing uncontrollably. "An
