All Chapters of The Don Believed Her Lies Until He Lost Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

When I got home, over a dozen servants lined up in front of me.The seven o'clock banquet was about to begin. I had to change into my formal attire as quickly as possible and appear at the banquet in perfect condition. There was no room for mistakes.But what was laid out before me wasn't my custom-made gown.It was a dress I had never worn before.Laughter drifted from the study.I walked in. Only Dario and Lily were inside.I looked at Lily's perfectly restored face and was surprised at how quickly she had recovered.A year ago, Lily, Dario's sister Camilla Moretti, and I had handled a deal together.Lily had relayed the wrong information, which provoked the other side.To make matters worse, the people we were dealing with were a group of hot-headed thugs with nothing to lose.When the shooting started, I was badly wounded protecting Camilla.By the time I woke up, I had somehow become the one blamed for Camilla's death.And Lily, who should have been held responsible, was hailed as

I was stripped of every right I had, without exception. All of it was handed to Lily.I pulled up Rocco's contact on my phone.He and his men had already arrived in my territory.Years ago, I had helped him in a business deal.Later, when he was ambushed by his enemies, I was the one who secretly passed him intelligence at great personal risk. That information was the reason he was still alive and had become a Don.He had never forgotten what I did for him.He had reached out to me multiple times, wanting to take me away.I had always refused.Until now. For the first time, I felt genuinely grateful to him.Without his help, I would have had no way out at all.We discussed our plan.Originally, I had planned to slip away from the estate after the banquet and get into Rocco's car.With Lily back, Dario's attention wouldn't be on me.But after the scene at the banquet, I'd lost my freedom. Leaving would be much harder now.The cemetery visit in three days was a good opportunity.I sent R

"What did you just say?"Dario was having breakfast with Lily. At the news, his brow furrowed tight."Vincenzo, I trust you understand the gravity of what you're saying. Don't speak carelessly."Vincenzo was visibly sweating, a rare sight."Don, I'm not lying. Her body is still at the west villa. Please, go see for yourself."Seeing the color drained from Vincenzo's face, a chill settled in Dario's chest.He shot to his feet and bolted for the door.The entire ride, he was agitated, barking at the driver to go faster.Lily rested a hand on Dario's shoulder."Dario, calm down. This might just be another one of Lucia's tricks to get you to come running."Dario didn't respond.He shook off Lily's hand, shifted restlessly, and kept urging the driver to hurry.When they finally reached the villa, Dario lost a Don's composure for the first time and stumbled toward Lucia's body.When he saw her bloodless face, he panicked completely."What the hell happened? How did she die? Where are the two

More than two weeks earlier, this was what had happened that night.After I was brought to the west villa, the two guards simply locked the front door and left.I had reviewed the entire anniversary itinerary beforehand. These two guards were part of my plan. I had paid them off in advance.I pulled out the miniature communicator hidden on my body and told Rocco he could come.I leaned back against the sofa and watched the clock.While I waited, positive replies came in from my old business contacts.Every one of them was willing to sit down and talk.An hour later, the villa's front door opened.Rocco and his men had arrived.By then, Dario was long back at the main estate.There would be nothing to worry about.Without a moment's hesitation, I got in Rocco's car.Rocco's people found a woman no one would come looking for, with a build and features closely resembling mine.She was terminally ill and emaciated, which made her look much like me after days of serious injury without treat
