Chapter 1

My husband, Damon Rovelli, stared at my older sister, Aurora Moretti, and removed his tuxedo jacket that smelled faintly of my perfume.I calmly set down my glass of champagne and turned to leave the banquet hall, but Damon immediately caught my hand."Where are you going, Liliana?"I paused, thinking he just wanted back the heirloom signet ring that belonged only to the Donna of the Rovelli family. So, I held out my hand and deftly slipped it off my finger."Here. It can go back to its rightful owner now," I said, lowering my eyes as I placed the ruby ring into the palm of his hand, trying to avoid his gaze. But no matter how much I tried to hide it, my voice still carried bitterness and exhaustion."Don't worry. I'm very clear that the Donna position never truly belonged to me in the first place. And since Aurora has now returned, I will leave tonight."This was a promise that I'd made to Damon seven years ago. But even though I knew and expected this day to come, I still fel

Damon waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave. Only after everyone else, including Mama and Aurora, had left did he take my hand and press a kiss to the back of it."My Liliana, Aurora has been away for too long, and she doesn't know what's happened here. She's always been kind and innocent, albeit a bit blunt, but trust me that she means no malice. Please don't blame this on her."I coldly shook off his hand."Don't you normally detest women fighting each other for love or power, Don Rovelli?" I asked. "So why is it that when it comes to Aurora, you lose all sense of what's right and wrong and just dismiss it like that?"I guess true love does make you go blind, doesn't it?"Damon's eyes darkened. A look of pain welled up in them as he replied, "Is that how you see me, Liliana? You're still blaming me for what happened years ago, aren't you?"Back when I led his Soldata to rescue him from his enemies five years ago, he hadn't exactly been left with no means to fight back

Damon never came home for the rest of the night.I sat by the window and calmly signed the divorce papers.For the first half of my life, as the youngest daughter of the Moretti family, I had always only lived for other people. I spent my childhood being ignored by my own family, my adolescence being bullied by my own sister, and my adulthood as a mere substitute for said sister.I had been trapped in my life for far too long.Once I handed these thin sheets of paper to Damon, I could finally cast off my shackles. I could move forward in life, unburdened, and never look back again.When I arrived at the dining room for breakfast, I saw Damon at the table with Aurora sitting in my usual spot, flirting heavily with him.His gaze sharpened when he saw me."You're here, Liliana. About last night, I—"Before he could finish, Aurora speared a piece of fruit and fed it to him."Here you go, Damon. How does it taste?"I didn't want to watch them any longer and just closed my stinging

"Half of the family assets? Liliana, have you freaking lost your mind?" Aurora shrieked. "Everything belonging to the Rovelli family belongs to Damon! It's none of your business!"You're just a bitch who got to be his Donna for seven years! You should be thanking God on your knees for that! And now, you actually have the nerve to ask him for money?"Her words were vicious, but I ignored them all, keeping my eyes fixed only on Damon."You've always thought nothing about money, Don, and I have no attachment whatsoever to this position of being your Donna."You'd just be trading half of your net worth to elevate the woman whom you truly love to the position of Donna. It's a win-win situation for you."Damon's eyes reddened as he strode toward me. However, I took a step back and pressed my fingers against my temple."Let's just make this quick. It was a case of mutual gain from the very start of our relationship, and it's now time for us to return to our respective places."Before t

I settled into a small villa in Yeetalia.The maid who used to look after me at the Rovelli estate, Anna Piazza, wanted to join me. She arrived just a few days later.She walked into the courtyard carrying bags of all shapes and sizes, her face beaming with excitement."Signorina Liliana!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she set the bags down on the table. "Did you hear about the massive news in Sivilly?"All those people who disrespected you at the airport, including that woman who spread rumors and gossiped about you, have all been hauled off to the police station!"I was watering flowers by the windows, and my hand froze for a moment at her words.Anna stepped closer and said, "It was Don Rovelli himself who had them arrested! He sent the straight to the police and even hired professional lawyers for the trial against them!"I didn't say a word and just continued watering the next pot of flowers.Anna continued speaking rapidly after observing my expression. "Don Rovell

A throng of entertainment reporters and onlookers had packed the outside of Rovelli estate so tightly that even the bodyguards couldn't hold them back.Aurora's eyes were red-rimmed as she wiped away her tears, pouring out her grievances before the cameras."Please, everyone, help me set the record straight!" she cried out in anguish. "I spent years away from home, longing only to reunite with my parents, yet my own sister refused to let me just live in peace!"She even stole my husband and usurped the position of Donna for seven whole years, but now that I've returned, she still refuses to relinquish the place and position that rightfully belongs to me!"She lifted her tear-stained eyes, scanning the growing crowd, and her voice suddenly rose in intensity."Liliana Moretti is the real imposter! Years ago, she used every underhanded trick in the book to take my place, marry into the Rovelli family, and bewitch Don Rovelli!"For seven years, she's clung to the title of Donna, enjo

The gunfire ceased. Everyone stared at me in shock, especially Aurora."What the hell are you doing here?" she cried out, her voice trembling.Damon fixed his gaze on me and shielded me behind him. "Liliana? What's going on here?"I met his eyes and clapped my hands once. Immediately, a squad of highly trained men clad in black closed in from all directions. They were fully armed, and their uniforms bore a family crest on the chest.Someone recognized the crest and exclaimed, "It's the Sorello family from Yeetalia! What are they doing here?"I chuckled coldly and pulled a dagger from my pocket, slowly raising it in the air.The blade was marred and stained with dried blood. A totem was carved into the hilt, identical to the one on Vasco's gun."Recognize this?"Vasco's expression turned wary. "That—""This is a standard weapon issued by your organization," I said, cutting him off as I traced the rough, carved pattern with my fingers."Seven years ago, you still hadn't yet tur

A sense of calm washed over me."This is the police! Listen up! We have you surrounded! I repeat, the police have all of you surrounded! Now raise your hands in the air where I can see them!"Police sirens wailed throughout the place in a chaotic blur of red and blue lights. Traffic was ground to a complete halt outside in the streets.Vasco's gang panicked instantly and scrambled to escape. Seeing that the situation had turned dire, Vasco's eyes flashed with a murderous glint. He lunged at me in a desperate and reckless move to escape, aiming his gun straight at my head.He wanted to take me down with him."Liliana! Watch out!" Damon cried, moving to protect me despite his injured leg.But I was much faster. After all, close combat was my specialty.The moment Vasco pulled the trigger, I used his own momentum to subdue him, twisting his arm and pulling him in front of me as a human shield.The police officers, who had already had them in their sights, shot him dead at once.
