Chapter 1

Alessandro disappeared into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.I wiped my eyes and pulled the gun from the nightstand.The Moretti crest was engraved on its side. Alessandro had given it to me right after our wedding five years ago.I still remembered him placing it in my hand with his arms wrapped around me and whispering in my ear, "Olivia, this gun is the symbol of the family. Only my wife gets one."I placed it on top of the clothes he'd prepared for Daisy.Alessandro came back just in time to see what I was doing.His face darkened, and he strode over."Did you do something to those clothes?"He grabbed my wrist. I quickly shook my head."No. No, I was only..."Then he noticed the gun. He picked it up and frowned."What is this supposed to mean? Didn't I give this to you? It's small enough to carry. If anything happens, it could save your life."I lowered my eyes."It's the symbol of the family. Daisy should have it now."Alessandro couldn't figure out what I was up to, so

The next morning, I had just finished packing when the broker called. "Donna, the vineyard and bar in your name will be ready for transfer the day after tomorrow. Don't worry. Once the money is in your overseas accounts, no one will be able to trace it."The day after tomorrow, Alessandro would marry Daisy. By then, I'd be long gone.I had barely zipped up my suitcase when Alessandro walked in with Daisy in his arms.She wore one of his shirts, and blood trickled down her calf.He gently set her down, then said sternly, "I assigned you bodyguards. Why didn't you keep them with you?"Daisy's eyes filled with tears."I was so excited to see you that I rushed over. I missed a step and fell. Do you think I'm a burden now? Maybe you never wanted me to come back."The moment Alessandro saw her tears, his anger vanished."I've never thought that. Daisy, I can't stand seeing you hurt."He grabbed the first-aid kit himself and knelt in front of her."Daisy, I'll never get tired of you. I'll sta

Alessandro pushed open the door just in time to see Daisy lying on the floor."Alessandro."She looked up at him pitifully."Olivia attacked me because of the ring. She said she still wouldn't let me have you, even after the divorce."Alessandro's face darkened.He gathered Daisy into his arms, then turned to me."Olivia, I've given you more than enough money. Why would you hurt her?"The handprint on my left cheek was impossible to miss, but Alessandro didn't even seem to see it.I should have realized long ago that whatever feelings he had for me were never real.There wasn't a trace of warmth in his eyes. I swallowed the words on the tip of my tongue."Because she deserved it!"Alessandro's eyes narrowed, his expression turning deadly.As the Don, he'd spent his whole life surrounded by people who obeyed his every command. No one dared speak to him like that.And I certainly never had. For five years, I'd done everything I could to please him. I'd always been gentle, obedient, and c

On the day of the wedding, the entire estate was lit up for the celebration.Locked inside the cottage, I watched from a distance as Alessandro took Daisy's hand.Five years ago, I'd stood in her place. The whole family had gathered around us as Alessandro gave me the wedding I'd always dreamed of.He'd held my hand just like this and promised to spend the rest of his life with me.Now he was making the same promise to Daisy."I take Daisy to be my wife, and I will never betray or abandon her."The diamond on her finger caught the light, and its sparkle was almost painful to look at.I reached for the necklace around my neck. Alessandro had given it to me for our fifth anniversary.I tore it off and called Nina. "Come and get me. I want to disappear from his life for good."By the time the reception was in full swing, everyone's attention was on the main house.It was time. I knocked over the oil lamp, and flames quickly spread through the cottage.Then I played the recording I'd prepa

Chapter 5

Seeing Alessandro's expression, several guards grabbed buckets, but none dared get too close.The cottage was completely engulfed in flames. The windows had already shattered from the heat.Alessandro grabbed Enzo by the collar, his eyes bloodshot."Nothing could have happened to Olivia. Tell me where she is!"Enzo trembled in his grip, terrified that one wrong answer might cost him his life."T-the Donna... she's still inside. Last night, you ordered your men to lock her in there. You said no one could let her out unless you or Ms. Ward gave permission. We locked the door because you both ordered us to."Alessandro's head snapped toward the cottage.Only then did he notice the heavy padlock on the front door.There was no way to break down the front door from the inside. Even a grown man might not have been able to escape through the windows.Alessandro began to shake. He couldn't imagine how terrified Olivia must be, trapped inside with no way out."Break the door down! Now!"No one

Alessandro kicked open the bedroom door. Parts of his clothes had already burned away, but he didn't care.All he cared about was finding Olivia.Their wedding portrait still hung on the wall, half consumed by flames.In the photo, they stood hand in hand, and Olivia looked at him as if he were the only person in the world.Alessandro beat out the flames and pulled what remained of the photo from the wall."Olivia, come out! I'm getting you out right now! No matter what happens, I won't leave you behind!"There was no answer.He searched the room frantically until something near the collapsed dressing table caught his eye.A necklace lay at his feet.It was the one he'd given Olivia for their fifth anniversary. He'd bought the stone at auction and had the necklace custom-made for her because nothing else had seemed good enough.Alessandro picked it up, his chest tightening. He'd never imagined things would end like this.Only now did he understand how little he'd cared about what Olivi

A few days later, my new passport was ready, and I moved to a city I'd never visited before.Nina handed me a folder."These are the assets you asked me to handle. The winery, the storefronts, everything was sold on the black market. After their cut, seventy-five million dollars was transferred to your account. Alessandro won't be able to trace any of it. Olivia, this is your fresh start."I looked down at the bank card in my hand.It felt more real than any love Alessandro had ever shown me.My new home was a small coastal city, far beyond his reach.I rented a café by the sea and settled into a quiet, carefree life.From the second-floor terrace, I could see the port in the distance.One afternoon, as I stared out at it, memories of the times I'd driven Alessandro there for business came flooding back.For five years, I'd enjoyed everything he gave me. I never had to lift a finger or worry about anything.To everyone else, I was nothing but a woman living off a powerful man.But they

Chapter 8

I spent three peaceful months in that city.No one bothered me, and my days were quiet.Then one day, Nina showed up with two bottles of wine."Olivia, do you want to hear about Alessandro?"I looked up, a little curious.Not because I still loved him. I just wanted to know how he'd reacted when he thought I was dead."The cottage fire was massive. Alessandro put a gun to a guard's head and ordered them to find you. When the flames grew too intense for anyone to go near the cottage, Alessandro broke the padlock himself and ran inside to look for you."I frowned.Alessandro had enemies everywhere. He'd always valued his own life and avoided unnecessary risks.I never thought he'd run into a burning building for me."Olivia, do you think he still loves you?"I shook my head. I had no idea what was going through Alessandro's mind.But during our five years together, he'd never treated me like I mattered that much."Did he get married?"Nina swirled the wine in her glass, looking amused."

The moment I said it, a tear slipped down Alessandro's cheek."Olivia, I came here and swallowed my pride. Doesn't that earn me one more chance?"He rolled up his sleeve, revealing an arm covered in scars."I got every one of these scars trying to save you. Olivia, I do love you."Then he held out the signet ring, the symbol of the Moretti family's power.His eyes stayed fixed on mine."You're the only one worthy of this ring. As for Daisy, the family will decide how to punish her."Daisy wasn't going to make it out alive. The Moretti family showed no mercy to traitors.But I'd already died once to escape this life. I wasn't going back to him.I once had hopes for our marriage. I wanted us to have something real.But after five years, he'd never truly opened his heart to me. This time, I was done."Alessandro, I can't spend the rest of my life waiting for you to finally notice me. You have power and money. I never blamed you for loving someone before me. But in the five years we were m
