Todos los capítulos de His Roulette: Wife or Mistress?: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

After leaving the hospital, the first thing I did was buy a plot in the cemetery. Back in my hometown, it was tradition to cremate unborn children and bury the ashes in the ground. It was believed that by doing so, the soul would be released and reborn into a happy life.Even if it was just a fairytale, I wanted to do what little I could for my baby.By the time I returned to the Cossini estate, the sky was already dark. When I opened the front door, my face pale, the butler, Guido Vitale, carefully tried to support me into the house, but I refused him.Using a wall for support, I swept my eyes over the photos covering the walls. They were all photos that Marco had taken with me before Alessia returned to the country. In the photos, he only had eyes for me.He used to wrap his arms around me from behind while I cooked. He would pull me close and wrap his coat around me when the first snow of winter fell.Closing my eyes, I calmly instructed, "Guido, take down every photo on the wa

Gritting my teeth, I jumped down from the second floor and ran out of the estate. But by the time I stumbled my way to the cemetery, it was too late. The grave had already been dug up, and the urn I'd carefully chosen had been dumped unceremoniously on the side.The stinging pain in my heart almost made it impossible for me to breathe. I clutched the dirt-covered urn tightly against my chest, holding it as though I were protecting the only thing I had left to live for.Tears streamed down my face."I'm sorry, baby. I was too late."Just then, I got a text on my phone, reminding me that my flight would be taking off in five hours.After wiping away my tears, I continued to hug the urn to my chest as I took a cab to the airport. I didn't even want to pack a suitcase anymore. I wanted to leave everything else behind.Before boarding my flight, I snapped my SIM card in half and tossed the pieces into the trash can.On the plane, I watched the clouds give way to a bright sky before I

A black Maybach screeched to a halt outside the hospital. Before the car had even fully stopped, Marco flung the door open and rushed into the hospital lobby."Who is Helena Ricci's attending physician?" he demanded.The nurse at the reception desk replied in a trembling voice, "Please give me a moment. I'll call the doctor right away."A few minutes later, Dr. Santoro hurried over, his expression complicated as he looked at Marco. "Don Marco."With an icy expression, Marco questioned, "What's the deal with this medical report about a miscarriage? What the hell did you do to Helena behind my back?"Dr. Santoro looked at Marco in silence for a moment before he started making his way toward the hospital's security room. "Come with me if you wish to know the truth, Don Marco."Inside the dim security room, a segment of the security footage was playing on the computer screen. It showed me walking out of the consultation room before leaning weakly against the cold wall.My hands trem

In the ensuing days, Marco had a hard time adjusting to everything. He began to suffer from sleepless nights, relying on alcohol to numb himself.When his abdomen started cramping, he reached for the second drawer on the left side of his desk out of habit and felt around for the painkillers, to no avail.All he found was a note I'd left behind. "Remember to tell me once you've used up the medication. And don't drink so much. It'll aggravate your old symptoms."He used to find my nagging annoying, so he'd tossed the note into a corner. And now that the medication had been used up, he had no one to give him reminders and prepare more medication for him.During a meeting, he searched his briefcase twice for the contract, but he couldn't find it. He instinctively picked up his phone and sent me a message:"Helena, where did I leave the contract?"There was no reply.It took a moment for him to abruptly recall that I'd walked out of his life.The other mafia dons at the meeting exch

One evening, after wrapping up the day's work, I began walking home alone."Helena."When that familiar voice rang out behind me, I turned and saw Marco standing just a few feet away.It'd been six months since I last saw him. His eyes were now a lot more sunken, his jaw was covered in stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like an entirely different person now.When his gaze met mine, his expression was filled with emotion. "I found you at last."He stumbled forward, reaching out to grab my sleeve. However, I stepped backward, calmly avoiding his touch. His hand froze in midair.Within seconds, his tears began falling."I know I messed up big time, Helena. In the months since you left, not a day goes by without me kicking myself in regret. I never should've dropped your call that day. Please don't leave me, okay? I'll do anything you want, so long as you're willing to come back to me."In the past, my heart would've ached to see him like this. But now, even as I sta
