Chapter 11

The bullet grazed past Victor’s cheek. A streak of blood split across his dirt-covered face. The wild joy on his expression froze instantly, replaced by pure shock.I lowered my gun. The faint smell of gunpowder barely lingered in the air.“Vincenzo ordered me to kill you,” I said flatly.Victor stared at me, stunned. It was as if he was still stuck in his fantasy that we were just putting on a show together for Vincenzo. Seeing that look on his face made my stomach churn.“I didn’t kill you because judging a member of the family is the Donna’s authority.” I looked down at him and said to him, making sure every word was clear, “And Vincenzo doesn’t have the right to interfere in Medici family matters.”After that, the confusion in Victor’s eyes faded into admiration. He thought he understood again. He thought I was using this moment to assert my authority over Vincenzo.He scrambled to his feet, lowering his voice.“Vincenzo shouldn’t suspect anything now. Let’s go, Rachel.” He

When the Maserati came to a stop at the gates of the estate, Leonardo personally stepped forward and opened the car door for me.“Rachel…” A complicated mix of shock, relief, and even regret flashed across his face. In the end, it settled into respect.He lowered his head and spoke again. “Donna Medici, welcome back.”I saw loyalty in his eyes.“Are all the entrances and exits sealed?” I asked as I stepped out of the car.“Everything’s done according to your orders,” he replied and then glanced at me. “There’s just… a small issue. Sophia isn’t very emotionally stable right now.”“Oh?”I raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Then come with me. Let’s go and calm our newly-wedded bride.”When I pushed open the study door, Sophia was sitting behind the massive mahogany desk, her face tense.The family lawyer was explaining something to her. “According to the contract, all Medici assets have been transferred to Ms. Rachel–”Hearing the door, she looked up and saw me. As if the chair ha

“Victor!” Sophia screamed and rushed forward, grabbing his arm tightly. “That b*tch Rachel isn’t dead! She took everything from the family and drove me out–”Before she could finish, Victor shoved her away. Caught off guard, Sophia fell hard. Her forehead slammed against a stone by the roadside, and blood immediately started pouring out.“Shut your filthy mouth!” Victor snarled, his tone vicious. “Rachel is the Donna of the Medici family. Who do you think you are to insult her?”Sophia clutched her bleeding forehead and let out a twisted laugh. “Idiot! You have nothing left! Check it if you don’t believe me!”Victor frowned and pulled out his phone. He accessed the family’s encrypted accounts, but the number on the screen looked almost ridiculous. He only had fifteen dollars in his account. Victor’s eyes widened in shock, and his hands trembled as he kept checking. Alas, there was nothing. All traces of the funds had been completely erased through offshore accounts.He stood the

I led everyone back to the meeting hall of the estate. It used to be Victor’s palace, but now, it would become the courtroom where he would be judged.I took the main seat, while the elders sat on both sides. Victor stood alone below us, like a beast stripped of its teeth and claws.“Public matters before private ones. Leonardo, you go first.”My voice echoed through the vast hall.Leonardo stepped forward and began reading out Victor’s charges. “Victor Medici, for rejecting the Donna due to her past imprisonment and publicly going against his own vows; that is betrayal. When Elder Nazzolini raised a reasonable objection regarding the choice of Donna, Victor Medici abused his authority as Don and shot him on the spot; that is brutality. When Vincenzo fabricated news of the Donna’s death, Victor panicked and was completely unable to make rational decisions; that is incompetence.”With every charge Leonardo read, Victor’s face grew paler. However, he never defended himself. He just

[Victor’s POV]After finishing my second bottle of whiskey, I was drunk. The pain from my severed fingers on my left hand seemed numbed by the alcohol, but the pain in my heart only grew.With a creak, the door was pushed open. I suddenly sat upright. I struggled to my feet and reached out carefully, as if touching a fragile illusion that might shatter at any moment.My voice came out in broken fragments. “Rachel… you’re back…”“Darling, what’s wrong with you?”A familiar voice answered me, and cracks spread through the illusion like a spiderweb. I stopped in my tracks and looked at Rachel, uncertain.“It’s me!” The familiar voice was now tinged with tears. “Your wife, Sophia!”Sophia.The name hit like a hammer, shattering the illusion completely. Rachel’s face dissolved into nothingness, replaced by Sophia’s, who looked similar, yet unmistakably her own. The light in my eyes went out, and a bitter taste rose in my throat. I gagged, covering my mouth, and waved weakly.“Just…

Chapter 16

Vincenzo sat on the sofa, studying me with a playful, almost mocking look. Sophia stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders.My drunken haze seemed to have cleared as my eyes were frighteningly sharp now. After all, I had once been the Don of the Medici family. In an instant, everything clicked; this had all been Vincenzo’s setup.“So, Sophia was someone you deliberately sent to get close to me.”I had returned to my former composure, calm and unhurried. I raised a hand toward the guards watching me.“A glass of ice water.”Vincenzo gave a small nod, and a guard handed the glass over.I took a sip before continuing, “Finding a woman who looks so similar to Rachel must’ve taken some effort.”“But it was worth it,” Vincenzo admitted with a nod. “Everyone knows that Don Medici is deeply in love with Rachel.”I pointed at Sophia and said, “You cut off my right hand, Rachel, and replaced her with this b*tch, making her the Medici family’s Donna. Given enough time, everything

Chapter 17

[Rachel’s POV] Vincenzo invited me to the East Coast, saying we needed to discuss an alliance. This time, I did something unusual. Instead of taking a helicopter, I boarded a train alone.Not long after I sat down, a man wearing a cap and sunglasses took the seat across from me.He spoke first. “Don’t look at me. Just read a book.”I opened a book and replied quietly, “Victor, I told you I don’t want to see you again.”Victor gave a bitter smile. “I know. You’d only agree to meet me for the sake of the family.”“Is the information you gave me true?” I paused, then spoke with a voice as sharp as tempered steel, “Is Vincenzo planning to ambush me on the East Coast?”“Yes. Every word is true, Rachel. I would never lie to you…” His voice dropped. “At least not now, and never again.”I glanced at him quickly. Even behind the sunglasses, I could almost see the regret in his eyes.“Why does Vincenzo want me dead?”“Because he wants to swallow the Medici family’s territory.” He pres
