บททั้งหมดของ Escaping the Dungeon of a Mafia Heir's Cheap Love: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Rosella's POVBack then, Matteo paid an enormous price just to marry me.Standing before Domenico, he had wagered his life on a game of revolver roulette. Expressionless, he spun the cylinder of the revolver, pressed the barrel against his chest, and pulled the trigger.The moment the gun went off, a violent spray of blood completely soaked through his shirt and blurred my eyes. I cried as I rushed him to the hospital and kneeled outside the operating room doors, praying for his survival.Thankfully, he made it.We held our wedding in a chapel after that. He had looked at me with those deep blue eyes and delivered his vows with absolute gravity and devotion."I, Matteo Adorni, take you, Rosella Martini, to be my lawfully wedded wife. From this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love, honor, and cherish you, until death do us part."But now…I looked over at Giorgia, who was standing beside the cradle, happily playing with t

Matteo's POVI was deeply irritated when I received Giorgia's call. She was always causing trouble, but I had to stay by her side and make sure she successfully delivered a healthy heir, or Papa would never let me be with Rosella.As I thought of how Rosella and I were so close to leaving and freedom, I softened my tone a little.On the other end of the line, Giorgia was in labor, crying and begging me to check on the baby."If you'd just come and stay with me until the baby's safely delivered, I'll convince the Don to let you two go. I'll never bother either of you again."I hesitated briefly, but eventually agreed.When I saw Roselle with her suitcase at the main doors of the villa, I told her everything and asked her to wait just a little longer. We would immediately leave once Giorgia delivered the heir.Rosella gave me her usual gentle smile. Every time I looked at her smile, the burdening weight all over me seemed to lift off my shoulders.But there was something strange

I fought to stay lucid and dragged myself to Giorgia's ward.Just as I reached the door, the sound of a baby wailing drifted out from within the room. Giorgia was inside, feeding our newborn son formula, but it seemed like something extra had been slipped into the milk powder.There was a manic expression on her face, a terrifying contrast to the gentle mother I thought she was."I'm sorry, baby," she muttered. "But if you get sick, Papa has to stay and keep making babies with me. I'll make it up to him and give him so many heirs…"My pupils constricted, and the veins on the back of my hand bulged. Waves of vertigo hit me.So, that was the truth.All this time, I believed that the children constantly getting sick was somehow Rosella's fault. But as it turned out, everything was Giorgia, their biological mamma's doing.Time and time again, I abandoned the love of my life and spent endless nights keeping watch beside their hospital beds. I let Rosella be punished and had her heart

Rosella's POVMatteo and his men had been watching the children play when the men in black stormed in, sending the children scattering in all directions.The Adornis' well-trained guards reacted instantly and launched into a swift counterattack. I quickly grabbed a few panicked, fleeing children, pulled them into hiding in a corner, and shielded them with my body.I dared not lift my head or move as bullets whizzed past just inches above my head. Swallowing my terror, I tried to calm the children with a reassuring look.I lost all track of time, and eventually, the gunfire and fighting stopped.Trembling, I turned my head and peered out.The backyard was dead silent. Only a few Adorni men remained, checking bodies littered in the yard.Matteo stood not far away. His eyes were locked dead on me, and his lips parted as if he wanted to say something.I stared back at him and didn't say a word, barely even noticing the chaos around us anymore.In that moment, all the pain I had bu

Rosella's POVThunder rumbled across the sky.To avoid further complications and entanglements with Matteo, I turned around and walked toward my dormitory, never looking back.There was no sound from behind me. He was likely standing rooted to the spot.The moment I stepped into my dormitory, rain came crashing down in sheets. I peered through the window and saw him standing completely motionless, letting the downpour soak him through.I drew the curtains shut. Deep down, I knew with absolute certainty that there was no future for us.…Over the next few months, the Adornis officially decided to fund the orphanage. I worked alongside Gabriella to renovate every room, replace broken desks and worn-out chairs, and buy brand-new bedding for the children.Watching the children run, laugh, and play in the hall brought me a sense of peace and stability.…One day, while I was playing with the children, I caught a man standing at the gates from the corner of my eye. It was Matteo.
