A Médica Da Alcatéia

Carmela Dela Rosa is a nobody in their school. Nobody loves her even her own parents, but everything changes after she gets secretly married to Joseph, her most hated schoolmate.

My best friend and I go to a music festival together. There, my brother's girlfriend locks me in the toilet. "Young women these days are so shameless—I can't believe you had the nerve to seduce my CEO boyfriend! I'm going to teach you a lesson today since your parents obviously didn't raise you right!" She refuses to listen to my explanation. She pours dirty water all over me before slapping me in public and stripping me. Then, she brands me with an insult. By the time my brother arrives, I'm tormented beyond recognition. "I can explain, Spencer! I thought you were lying when you said she was your sister!"

When I was ten years old, both my parents passed away. My sister, Brianna, and I only had each other left. We were tormented at the orphanage before the Larsons adopted us. They doted on Brianna and me, and even allowed their daughter, Vivian Larson, to get engaged to me when I was 20 years old. It was a wonderful tale of love. Vivian didn't let any of us down. She would have given me the moon if she could, and she loved me with all her heart. During the ten years we spent with the Larsons, Brianna and I led a good life and never suffered at all. The night before we got married, Vivian took out a treasured bottle of vintage wine. It was to be served at our wedding. However, I poisoned the wine and killed everyone in the Larson family, including my own sister.

Two years into my marriage with Don Dante, my ex came back. Julian, the man who shattered my heart five years ago. He announced he was getting engaged. And he wanted me as his mistress. "I know I hurt you," he said. "My family looks down on mob ties. It was never going to work. But now? I'm marrying Tiffany. I'm taking over the family empire. I can finally afford to keep you." I just sneered at him. "Did it ever occur to you that I might be married?" He scoffed. "What decent family would have you? The daughter of a mob underboss? Don't be ridiculous." His arrogance made me sick. When I refused, he slapped a black card on the table. Told me to buy whatever I wanted. He said he'd pick me up next week. That we could spend every weekend tangled up in his bed. I spat on the floor at his feet. "Get him out," I told my guard. "And take his trash with him." He didn't get it. Not then. But he would. The moment he found out who I married. I didn't just marry anyone. I married the king of the Chicago underworld. A man he could never touch. And when he finally figured it out, he lost his goddamn mind.

A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

Depois que minha irmã morreu, assinei um contrato de casamento de cinco anos com o marido mafioso dela, Horton Falcone. Me tornei madrasta do meu sobrinho de cinco anos, Luca. No meu aniversário, usei o colar de cruz de diamantes da minha falecida irmã, sem perceber o que era. No jantar de família, Luca veio até mim com uma taça de vinho tinto e jogou o vinho no meu rosto. O vinho tinto escorreu pelas minhas bochechas, seu cheiro forte ardendo nos meus olhos e manchando meu vestido branco. Ele inclinou a cabeça para trás para me olhar, seus olhos tão frios e cruéis quanto os do pai. — Não pense que pode substituir minha mãe só porque se casou com a família Falcone — ele disse com um sorriso malicioso. — Você é a razão dela estar morta. Eu queria que você tivesse morrido. Assim eu poderia destruir sua lápide em vez de comemorar esse aniversário estúpido. Eu juro, quando eu crescer, a primeira coisa que vou fazer é te jogar no Rio Hudson eu mesmo! A memória ardia tão intensamente quanto o vinho, e tudo o que eu conseguia sentir era desespero. Encarei a criança que passei cinco anos criando como se fosse minha, uma dor aguda pulsando no meu peito. Eu tinha pensado que poderia me dedicar à família Falcone, que poderia conquistá-lo com meu amor. Mas agora, eu estava simplesmente exausta de tudo isso. Era uma família sem amor, uma criança que me via como sua inimiga mortal. Parei de me iludir. Era hora de deixar para lá. Mas depois que fui embora, aquele pai e filho arrogantes voltaram rastejando até mim como cachorros castigados, implorando pelo meu perdão.
