After squeezing out those words, I finally passed out from exhaustion. The doctor gave me an injection as he wiped away the cold sweat from his brow. "Don't fall asleep, madam. You won't wake up again if you do. Think about your husband and your children. They're all waiting for you!"Frank tried to make me stay awake as well. "The doctor is right. You did well by protecting me. Once you're treated, I'll reward you and the baby in your belly. I'll take him in as my godson. You need to hold on! I've gotten my men to get Victor!"My lips twitched when I heard Frank's words. I was not a fool. I knew from the moment that I shielded Frank from being shot that I had lost the baby. As for Victor, he would never show up.That was when the men Frank sent out to get Victor hurried back. He went on his knees with a thud and did not dare to look at Frank. Frank frowned as he asked furiously, "Where's Victor?!"Frank's subordinate stammered, "V-Victor Villani refused to come. He said that Mrs

When the paramedics finally arrived, I was relieved and finally fell unconscious. When I opened my eyes next, a nurse I did not know immediately helped me sit up. "Don Russo has returned to the villa due to the assassination attempt, but he has given special orders for you to stay here without worry to recuperate, Mrs. Villani. He'll be back to visit you once he has settled his affairs."I nodded.The assassination of Frank had been treated with utmost importance in my past life, and Victor had been rewarded after a thorough investigation had been completed. Frank had suffered from shock, and I should consider myself lucky that he could even remember me.I relaxed and was about to say something when I heard hurried footsteps coming to my room. Before I could turn to look, a pair of coarse hands grabbed me by the jaw. It was Victor, and he was staring darkly at me."How dare you have Leia killed behind my back?! Do you know how heartbroken Aurora was when she saw Leia's body? You're

Frank walked into the room, and he laughed angrily when he saw the gun pointed at my head. He spoke with great power and conviction, and the dominant air around him made Victor pale in great comparison. Victor turned pale, and he fell limply to the ground, losing his superior attitude completely."Ms. Abba was the one who shielded me with her body during the assassination attempt on me. She was seriously hurt and lost her baby in the process. I felt responsible for what happened, and I planned to gift her a villa as compensation. I also made sure she was well taken care of by the doctors. "I'm extremely grateful for what she did for me, but you, on the other hand, are treating her like garbage. Am I still the Don to you? Doesn't the family still practice our rules? How ironic that she was still worried about you while at the brink of death, yet you care nothing for her!"Frank's words were like a death sentence on Victor. Victor could not stop trembling, and he looked completely di

Frank left as quickly as he came. In the blink of an eye, the room was left with just me, Victor, Aurora, and a few servants.Victor stood up right away after Frank left. There was not a tinge of remorse on his face as he started ordering me around. "You might have saved Don Russo, but you're still my woman at the end of the day. Taking care of your husband and the household affairs is your responsibility."Make me some food right now. I want pasta, steak, and a glass of red wine. I need to use the time to get myself together. As for the baby, he died to save Don Russo, so you shouldn't be too upset about it. I can give you a baby again anytime!"Victor waved his hand around as he gave the orders, not hesitating for a second that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He was treating my honor as if it belonged to him as well. I sneered in my heart at this shameless and ungrateful man, wondering why I had ever been soft-hearted enough to give in to him when he knelt at my

Victor felt like he had given himself a very good excuse as his grip on Aurora got even tighter. Aurora turned to look at me with difficulty. "Isabella… You promised… to save me." I waved her off. "What I said was you had to kill one another. You heard the rules wrong, Aurora."Aurora never expected a soft-hearted person like me would be so despicable. She wanted to say something more, but her breathing got weaker, and finally, she stopped breathing. Her eyes remained open even in death.Victor was trembling as he stared at the love of his life, the mistress he had just killed with his own hands, but he did not hesitate for very long. He crawled to my feet and looked almost devotedly at me."You're the woman I knelt in front of your house for three days with roses in my hand to beg for your hand in marriage, Isabella. You know how much I love you. I was just momentarily bewitched by those vixens. You have nothing to worry about, Isabella. I won't let any of those children live. If
