Chapter 1

“Lisa, you grew up with Quincy. You know how he feels about you.”Hearing this familiar conversation, I immediately realized that I had been reborn.I had returned to the day when I chose to marry Quincy.The moment I heard the consigliere’s words, I stood up.“No. I’m not marrying Quincy.”The consigliere was clearly surprised by my decision, and the disapproval in his eyes was impossible to miss.For generations, our two families had shared control over this territory through an agreement made by our ancestors.If the younger generation were of the same gender, they would become siblings. If they were of opposite genders, they would marry.Only the closest relationship could ensure the stability of the alliance between our families.After my father died ten years ago, the agreement was passed into my hands.Whoever I married would gain access to the Ortiz family’s intelligence network throughout Sicily.“Even without the marriage alliance, you are still an honored guest of the Bennet

Quincy smiled as he closed in on me and clamped a hand around my wrist.“Lisa, is it really that difficult for you to admit that you want to marry me?”“Everyone in Sicily knows our families are arranging a marriage between us. Why are you still pretending otherwise?”I pressed my lips together and tried to pull my hand free.His fingers locked around my wrist like an iron clamp, and the edge of his cuff scraped a red line across the back of my hand.“Let go. You’re only the second son of the Bennett family. Is it really that hard to understand why I wouldn’t choose you?”Quincy’s expression immediately darkened.His lips parted as his face flushed with anger. He pointed at me, but for several seconds, he was too furious to force out a word.“I’m sorry. I heard that you two were getting married, and I only came to offer my congratulations.”Sophia stepped out from behind Quincy.Her gaze remained fixed on his hand around my wrist.For a brief moment, jealousy and hatred flashed in her

The thought of seeing Luca again sent my spirits soaring.In my previous life, after Quincy killed me, my soul remained bound to him.The day after my death was discovered, he announced that he would marry Sophia.But no one expected Luca to kill Quincy with his own hands on their wedding day.After that, Luca never married. For the rest of his life, he wore a silver ring on his ring finger.Our names were engraved inside the band.That was when I realized he had loved me all along.When I pushed open the door to the sitting room, Luca was seated on the sofa with a cigar between his fingers.Sunlight fell across his profile and lit his gray eyes.I stopped in the doorway, unable to look away.“You’ve thought this through?” he asked. “Once you choose me, there’s no turning back.”“Until everything is finalized, you still have the right to change your mind.”The love in Luca’s eyes was almost impossible to miss.I walked over and sat beside him, close enough that our shoulders touched. I

“Lisa! Who gave you permission to enter the main house? And who gave you permission to touch that necklace?”I turned and saw Quincy standing behind me with Sophia beside him. His face was dark with anger.“That belongs to the Bennett family. What right do you have to touch it?”I glanced at him, keeping my voice calm.“Must you be so loud? Luca gave it to me.”“Quincy, don’t speak to Miss Ortiz like that,” Sophia said gently. “But Miss Ortiz, how did you manage to get your hands on this necklace without anyone noticing?”She edged behind Quincy.“I don’t mean anything by it. I’m only worried that people might start spreading rumors and accuse you of stealing from the Bennett family.”Quincy let out a cold laugh.“What? Do you already think you’re Mrs. Bennett? Are you that eager to flaunt your authority?”He lunged forward, seized the necklace around my neck, and ripped it off.I was completely unprepared. The clasp scraped the back of my neck, leaving a red mark.“You don’t even dese

“Your fiancée? Luca, what are you talking about?”“You must be insane! How could she possibly become your wife?”Quincy stared at Luca’s face, trying to find any trace that he was joking.Then his gaze moved downward and landed on Luca’s hand resting around my waist. His expression immediately darkened.“Is it true? When did the two of you get together?”Luca did not answer.Instead, he took a gold-embossed invitation from the servant beside him and threw it directly at Quincy.“Tonight is my engagement reception with Lisa. You are my brother, so you must attend.”Quincy caught the invitation and stared at the signatures of Luca and me.After a few seconds of shock, he suddenly laughed.“Lisa, you really went to a lot of trouble to bring my brother back from Palermo, didn’t you?”“Luca, what did she offer you? Information from the Ortiz family’s intelligence network? Or a share of those casinos?”“And you, Lisa, do you really think that using my brother to provoke me will make me turn

Worried that Quincy might cause trouble and ruin our engagement reception, I warned Luca in advance.Luca told me not to worry and said he had already asked the family consigliere to find an excuse to keep Quincy away.Only after I watched the consigliere lead him away did I finally feel somewhat relieved.However, shortly after the engagement reception began, while I was standing beside Luca with my arm linked through his as we spoke with the guests, Quincy still managed to burst into the hall.Ignoring the consigliere’s attempts to stop him, he strode straight onto the stage and snatched the microphone.Facing the guests below, Quincy announced loudly, “Everyone, I’m afraid you’ve all made this trip for nothing today. This engagement reception will lead nowhere, because I will never acknowledge any engagement between Lisa and me.”“I only agreed to marry her in the first place because of the pact between our families.”“But now I have seen this woman for who she really is. She is sel

Quincy’s eyes turned red.“Lisa, you actually pushed me?”“Before, no matter what anyone said, you always stood by my side.”I looked at him and found the whole thing absurd.In the past, my eyes and my heart had been filled with him, yet he had never even been willing to look at me properly.He had even locked me inside the freezer to punish me because of Sophia.Now that I only had hatred left for him, he was the one who began to feel wronged.I looked at him and said clearly, “Please leave the reception hall.”Quincy’s expression became complicated, with pain and anger mixed together as he gritted his teeth.“The person you loved was obviously me. Why did you choose Luca?”“What did he use to force you? Tell me, and I will do everything I can to solve it for you. Whatever he can do, I can do too.”Seeing that there was still a trace of hope in his eyes, I answered coldly.“Because I love him, and that is why I am willing to marry him. There is no other reason.”“You’re lying!” Quinc

It was Sophia. When she saw Quincy being restrained by the bodyguards, her first thought was that the family was forcing him to marry me.Thinking about the Bennett family’s enormous power, and remembering how she had fought her way up from the slums to obtain everything she had today, Sophia clenched her teeth. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes.She could not lose Quincy, and she absolutely could not return to the life she had left behind.No matter what happened, today she had to completely bind herself to him.Sophia walked straight toward the consigliere and pleaded.“I know my identity is not worthy, but Quincy and I truly love each other.”“Sir, please don’t force him to marry a woman he does not love.”“True love is not a crime. Please let us be together.”As soon as she said this, the surrounding guests looked at her with undisguised contempt.A woman from the slums barging into a Mafia family’s engagement reception and declaring that true love was above everything e

As soon as Sophia said that, Quincy immediately turned to look at me.He thought that, just like before, I would lose my temper because of Sophia’s words.But the expression on my face remained calm. I did not take anything Sophia said seriously.Quincy’s fingers slowly tightened at his side.In the past, whenever any woman came close to him, I would always stand beside him possessively and declare my place, or use the Ortiz family’s influence to make those women leave.But now, even when Sophia was openly expressing her feelings toward him, I did not even move my eyebrows.Had I really stopped caring about him? The thought appeared in Quincy’s mind, and his chest suddenly tightened. Impossible.“She loved me for ten years. How could she suddenly stop loving me? She must only be hiding her feelings because of the cruel things I said to her in the past.”Quincy continued deceiving himself and looked back toward Sophia.This time, he had to explain everything clearly. He could not allow

The engagement reception did not proceed as planned. In the end, it became the setting for a family reckoning.Luca cared deeply about what had happened. He bought me all kinds of expensive gifts as an apology and even said that he wanted to hold a grand wedding ceremony to make up for it.“I don’t need a grand wedding. As long as you are always by my side, that is enough. I love you, Luca.”“I love you too.”After losing Quincy’s protection, Sophia became a target because she had stolen the Bennett family’s finances and confidential information.She wanted to return to Quincy, but by that point, Quincy hated her so much that he wanted to kill her with his own hands.With no one else to rely on, she had no choice but to seek out the man who had originally asked her to act as a connection for passing information.At first, that man was willing to take her in, but it did not take long before he revealed his true nature.Not only did he restrict her freedom, but he also treated her like a
