Chapter 1

"Selena, thank goodness I found out in time!""But are you sure you don't want to change the name on the marriage application? Enzo is a ruthless killer! Why do you want to marry him? I thought you loved Lorenzo?"My mother's eyes were a bit red, and I felt quite sorry for her.Ever since she learned that Lorenzo had agreed to marry me, no one had been happier than my mother.I had waited for Lorenzo for seven years.From a nineteen-year-old girl, I had become an old maid, the laughingstock of the entire city—a woman no one wanted to marry.Now, Lorenzo had finally agreed to marry me.But then, on a bet with a maid, he deliberately sent over the marriage application with the wrong name.My mother was both angry and heartbroken.In the end, she could only ask for my opinion.I traced Enzo's name with my finger and said softly, "Either way, he's still a member of the Cammarata family."I couldn't afford to be willful anymore.Lorenzo's ten postponements of the wedding had made it so that

I was stunned for a moment.I was only nineteen when I received that ring.The sun was shining beautifully that day. Lorenzo had come to find me in a mysterious mood and, as soon as we met, slipped the ring onto my finger.The ring sparkled all over—it was made of blue diamonds.I panicked and tried to take it off, but he grabbed my wrist firmly."This is the Cammarata family heirloom. Take it!"The dappled shadows of the trees danced around us, his smile even more dazzling than the sunlight.Later I found out that his mother had beaten him badly for stealing the ring.But Lorenzo had declared righteously, "I'm never marrying anyone but Selena. Giving her the ring early or late doesn't matter!"In the blink of an eye, I had worn that ring for seven full years.It had slowly become a part of my life, just like Lorenzo himself.Seeing that I remained silent for a long time, Lorenzo thought I was unwilling to give it up.Just as he was about to speak, Lena, standing beside him, took his a

That day, my mother took me to meet Lady Isabella. It was also the first time I saw Enzo.Lady Isabella was very pleased with me and gave me many expensive gifts.After the pleasantries were over, she said to Enzo, "Enzo, the camellias in the garden are in full bloom. Selena likes them. Why don't you take her out for a walk?"I softly agreed and followed Enzo outside.Contrary to the rumors, Enzo was neither a hideous beast nor a ruthless demon.He was handsome, elegant, and a true gentleman.In fact, he was so gentle and modest that he didn't seem like a Godfather at all.We walked by the lake and talked about many things.His gentle attentiveness gradually eased my nervous heart.Suddenly, a rather sharp gaze fell upon me.I turned around and saw Lorenzo, who had appeared at some point.When he saw me looking back at him, he slowly walked over. "What are you doing with Enzo?"Before I could explain, Enzo glanced at him and said coolly, "Do I need to report my affairs to you?"His voi

The hall fell into complete silence. The guests looked at each other in confusion.At the head of the table, Lady Isabella's face was ashen.Her eyes red, she glared at Lorenzo and roared, "What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?""Today is your uncle's wedding. You cannot make a scene here. Someone, drag him out!"Lorenzo stood frozen, his eyes full of disbelief."Uncle's wedding? How is that possible? It's supposed to be me and Selena…"Several bodyguards pressed down on his shoulders. He was dazed for a few seconds.Just as he was about to be dragged out of the church, Lorenzo suddenly struggled. "Impossible! Selena is my wife!""We grew up together. We've been engaged for years. How could she marry my uncle?""There must be some mistake!""Grandmother! Selena, say something!"I spoke coldly. "How could there be a mistake?"The assistant respectfully held out the marriage documents for me and Enzo, displaying them before everyone.My voice was devoid of warmth. "The applic

After being injured, Lorenzo had been lying in bed, unable to go anywhere without a wheelchair.I knew it would take less than half a day for the news of Lorenzo fighting his own uncle over a woman to spread like wildfire.By then, not only would he and the Cammarata family be humiliated, but Selena and the Kane family would also become laughingstocks.The church was deathly silent. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.I slowly walked over to Lorenzo.A flicker of expectation crossed his face.The next second, I raised my hand and slapped him as hard as I could.I put all my strength into that slap. His head snapped to the side.Lorenzo's pupils contracted. He stared at me in utter disbelief.With a cold expression, I said, "You are in no position to speak of my husband that way. What do you take the Kane family for? Do you think we would arrange a marriage without even looking into such matters?"He was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what I was referrin

I followed Enzo back to the bridal chamber. The room was filled with a faint, refreshing scent of osmanthus flowers.Enzo smiled and said, "It's getting late. You should get some rest."Perhaps it was because the tension had finally eased, but I ended up sleeping all the way until noon.When the maid saw that I was awake, she blushed and came over to help me. "Miss Selena, the Godfather said he has already spoken with Lady Isabella. You don't need to see her today. He said you should rest well."After washing up and getting ready, I slowly made my way out of the courtyard.But the moment I pushed open the gate, I saw Lena kneeling right at the entrance.Her face was pale, and she looked utterly weak. Upon closer inspection, her clothes were somewhat disheveled.My heart sank. I knew her appearance meant nothing good.Sure enough, as soon as Lena saw me, she immediately shuffled forward on her knees, grabbed the hem of my dress, and pleaded tearfully, "Miss Selena, please go see Lorenzo

Chapter 7

His gaze fell directly on my neck.There were a few ambiguous love bites—marks left by Enzo when he had kissed me again and again the night before.Lorenzo stared hard at those telltale marks, his eyes burning with venom. "You slept with him? How could you…"I looked straight into those jealous, rage-filled eyes and found it utterly ridiculous.He was jealous and regretful, but I wasn't naive enough to think he loved me or that he was sorry to see me marry someone else.What Lorenzo regretted was simply that the canary he had always controlled had flown away.What he hated was nothing more than feeling that something belonging to him had been taken."Lorenzo, don't be so full of yourself."I looked at him coldly. "The day you deliberately wrote the wrong name on the marriage application, you should have seen this day coming."My gaze fell on Lena, and I smiled faintly. "It seems you had a good time with your maid last night."I purposely emphasized the word "maid," and sure enough, a f

I asked urgently, "Is something wrong with your health? I saw you riding a horse yesterday. Is that why…"Seeing how concerned I looked, he was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "No."After that, I accompanied Enzo every day.Of course, even though I was busy, I hadn't forgotten about Lorenzo.During that time, I deliberately spread the news that Lorenzo had taken a mistress. Soon the whole city was buzzing with gossip.The society ladies all looked down on Lorenzo's behavior. The matter eventually reached Lady Isabella's ears.Lady Isabella was ruthless. After she returned, she immediately punished Lorenzo with twenty lashes of the whip. I heard he was beaten until he lost consciousness.Afterward, without even waiting for his wounds to heal, she sent him to kneel in the ancestral hall.Everyone knew that Lady Isabella had always doted on this grandson of hers, never even speaking a harsh word to him. This punishment was truly severe.When Lena heard about it, her
