Chapter 1

Early the next morning, I had the servants bring several empty boxes to my room.Since I had already decided to leave, I needed to clear out everything in the estate that belonged to me.Over the past seven years, Jonathan had given me far too many things.Jewelry, gowns, watches, and a gift for every wedding anniversary.I packed away the things I had bought for myself. I had the servants take everything else to my sister Leonora’s room.The butler froze.“Mrs. Alberti, these were all gifts from Mr. Alberti.”“I know.”“Then why…”I snapped the last jewelry box shut.“I won’t need them anymore.”Within a week, Adele Vitale would die in an accident.And dead women had no use for jewelry.At noon, I went to the guesthouse where Leonora was staying.Her six-year-old son, Anthony, was sitting on the terrace playing with a model car.Jonathan had ordered it delivered overnight.The moment I approached, the boy grabbed the car, stood up, and glared at me warily.“What are you doing here?”I

The following evening, Jonathan held a welcome party for Leonora at the estate.By the time I came downstairs, the hall was already crowded with guests. Leonora stood beside Jonathan in a white dress while Anthony clung to his arm, chattering away without pause. Jonathan, unusually patient, listened to him as I stood on the staircase and stared at the three of them for a moment longer than I meant to.“Adele.”I turned and found Luca Ferretti, the youngest son of the Ferretti family and a notorious womanizer, approaching with two glasses of wine.I was about to step away when he suddenly reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. My first instinct was to move back, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the intimate way Jonathan and Leonora stood together, and my body went still.Then I realized Jonathan was looking at us too.His gaze settled on Luca’s hand, and the air around him seemed to turn instantly dangerous.A sharp crack split through the room as

That afternoon, my bedroom door was suddenly thrown open, and Anthony stormed inside.“You’re a horrible woman! Mom cried all night because of you!”He glared at me indignantly.“It’s all your fault! Uncle Jonathan was angry all night because of you too!”I had no interest in arguing with a six-year-old, but Anthony only grew more certain he was right the longer he spoke.“Aunt Lucia said you don’t even love Uncle Jonathan. She said you’ve been seeing other men behind his back.”His little face tightened with accusation.“Why don’t you just leave?”I lowered my eyes.“Do you really want me to go that badly?”“Of course!”There was hardly a moment of hesitation before he answered.“If you leave, Uncle Jonathan can be with Mom. She was the one who was supposed to marry him in the first place!”I was silent for a few seconds before giving a small nod.“All right.”Anthony stared at me, clearly not expecting me to agree so easily.That evening, Jonathan sent word that I was expected at din

Once the door was locked from the outside, I spent the entire day confined to my room.Jonathan was genuinely furious this time. Two guards stood outside my door, my phone had been taken away, and he had even stationed men beneath the windows to make sure I had no way out.Late that night, a sudden commotion broke out in the hallway, followed by the sound of someone hurrying down the corridor.“Sir, Anthony has a high fever!”Jonathan’s voice came immediately afterward.“Where’s the doctor?”“Already on the way.”The footsteps quickly faded into the distance, and before long, one of the two guards outside my room was called away as well.I waited another ten minutes until a faint vibration came from the bottom drawer of my bedside table. Pulling it open, I reached into the hidden compartment and took out a spare phone small enough to fit in my palm.There was only one message on the screen:Back gate. Twenty minutes.I immediately changed my clothes. My documents and cash had already b

Jonathan stared at the man in front of him as though the words had failed to register, his expression blank and his lips parting twice before any sound came out.“What did you say?”The man lowered his head.“The Coast Guard has recovered the car. There was a large amount of blood on the driver’s seat, and one of the doors was torn off in the crash.”“After a fall from that height, with the car in the sea and Mrs. Alberti nowhere inside, they believe she…”“I asked where she is!”Jonathan’s roar cut him off, and the entire corridor fell silent. Even Leonora, who had just stepped out of Anthony’s room, stopped where she was.The man’s face turned white.“She still hasn’t been found.”“If they haven’t found her, how dare you tell me she’s dead?”Jonathan seized him by the collar, his grip tightening violently.“Who gave you permission to say she was dead?”He shoved the man away.“Go find her. Now.”Without waiting for another word, he stormed out of the estate.Half an hour later, the c

The investigation report was delivered to Jonathan the following afternoon.It was a thick stack of documents, and his expression changed the moment he turned to the first page.“What does this mean?”His right-hand man lowered his voice.“Mrs. Alberti started putting her affairs in order last week. The two cars registered in her name have already been sold, and the money in her premarital account was transferred out in several separate transactions.”He hesitated before continuing.“As for the jewelry you’ve given her over the years…”Jonathan looked up sharply.“What about it?”“Most of it was sent to Miss Leonora.”The study fell silent, and the scene from that day immediately returned to Jonathan’s mind: several servants carrying jewelry boxes into the guesthouse while I stood nearby, perfectly calm.“I don’t want them.”At the time, he had only frowned and asked, “What are you doing now?”Jonathan’s fingers tightened around the report.“Go on.”His right-hand man handed him anothe

By the time Lucia was dragged into the basement, her legs were already shaking so badly she could barely stand.Jonathan sat across from her with the surveillance footage playing on the tablet in front of him. He wasted no time on questions he did not need to ask.“Talk.”Lucia dropped to her knees.“Sir, I don’t know what you mean…”Jonathan lifted one hand, and the guard behind her immediately kicked her to the floor.Lucia screamed as she went down, but Jonathan only watched her coldly.“Who taught Anthony to say those things?”“It was… Miss Leonora. She said Mrs. Alberti had taken her place for seven years.”Lucia swallowed hard before continuing.“She said that if she hadn’t run away seven years ago, the estate would have been hers, and so would the position of Mrs. Alberti.”Jonathan’s jaw tightened.“Keep going.”“Miss Leonora told me to bring it up around Anthony whenever I could. She wanted him to believe that you were supposed to be his father, and that once Mrs. Alberti was

On the tenth day after my “death,” the Vitale family came to the estate.My father looked as though he had aged years overnight, and the moment he stepped inside, he asked, “Where are Adele’s things?”Jonathan came downstairs with dark shadows beneath his eyes, noticeably thinner than he had been ten days earlier.“We still haven’t found her.”My father’s head snapped up.“How much longer are you planning to keep searching?”“Until I find her.”“She’s dead!”Jonathan’s expression changed at once.“She’s not dead.”My father stared at him for a moment, then drove his fist straight into Jonathan’s face.The guards around them immediately drew their guns, but Jonathan raised a hand to stop them. My father had already seized him by the collar.“She was married to you for seven years. Seven years!”His voice shook with fury.“I entrusted my daughter to you, and this is how you took care of her?”Blood appeared at the corner of Jonathan’s mouth, and a bitter smile crossed his face as his eye

That evening, Jonathan went into my room alone.At the Vitale family’s request, the servants had already packed away everything that could be taken, leaving the room bare and strangely empty. Jonathan walked slowly toward the bed, where the wedding photograph still stood on the bedside table, and picked it up.Seven years ago, I had stood beside him in that photograph without the slightest hint of a smile, something that had clearly annoyed him at the time. When the photographer was finished, Jonathan had even leaned closer and muttered, “You could at least pretend to be happy.”I had responded by stepping hard on his foot.Yet when the photograph was delivered later, for reasons even he could not explain, Jonathan had ordered someone to place it beside the bed.It stayed there for seven years.The butler’s quiet voice came from the doorway.“Sir, there’s one more thing.”He held out a package that had never been sent, with Jonathan’s name written across the top.“One of the maids foun

In the end, my father refused to let Leonora set foot inside the Vitale home again.She moved into an ordinary apartment with Anthony, while the Alberti family took back everything they had given her over the previous three months. The servants who had helped spread rumors for Leonora were also expelled from Sicily.A month later, the Vitale family held a funeral for me despite there being no body to bury.Jonathan came, but my two brothers stopped him outside the cemetery gates.“You can’t go in.”His expression changed.“I’m her husband.”One of my brothers looked at him coldly.“Her death certificate has already been filed with the court, and Father is taking the necessary steps to formally end the marriage.”“From today onward, you have nothing to do with her.”Jonathan’s hands clenched into fists.“I don’t agree.”“No one asked whether you did.”My brother turned and walked away, leaving Jonathan outside the cemetery, where he remained for the entire day.Only after everyone had g
