Giorgo Romero, der Don der Familie Romero, wurde von einem selbstmordbereiten Wahnsinnigen in einen Hinterhalt gelockt, der Sprengstoff am Körper trug. Damals waren mein Mann Fabio Lopez und seine Männer bereits mit seiner Jugendliebe Reina Digiorno auf einer Modenschau, um sie dort zu beschützen. Statt den Signal-Knopf an meinem Ring zu drücken, stürzte ich mich trotz meiner hochschwangeren Verfassung auf Giorgo. So schaffte ich es, ihn mit meinem Körper vor der Explosion zu schützen. In meinem vorherigen Leben drückte ich den Knopf. Fabio ließ Reina zurück, um schnell zum Tatort zurückzukehren und Giorgos Leben zu retten. Wegen dieses Einsatzes wurde er zum Underboss befördert. Doch Reina war wütend auf Fabio, weil er sie vorzeitig allein gelassen hatte. Aus purer Trotzreaktion überquerte sie die Autobahn. Dabei wurde sie von einem Auto erfasst und starb. Fabio sagte zwar nichts, aber am Tag, an dem bei mir die Wehen einsetzten, ließ er mich in ein unterirdisches Auktionshaus bringen. „Der Don hatte so viele Soldaten als Schutz! Warum hast du mich überhaupt gezwungen zurückzukommen? Doch nur, weil du den Ruhm willst, die Frau des Underboss zu sein! „Wäre es nicht um dich, wäre Rena nicht gestorben! Du musst tausendmal so viel Leid wie sie ertragen!“ Ich konnte nur zusehen, wie die Gäste nacheinander auf meine Organe boten. Nicht einmal die Nabelschnur meines Neugeborenen blieb von der Auktion verschont. Am Ende starb ich an einer Infektion, die während der Organentnahme entstanden war. Als ich meine Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Tag, an dem Giorgo überfallen wurde.

When my roommate learned that getting pregnant in university came with special treatment, she brazenly posted on the campus forum, openly recruiting a "baby daddy." [Requirements: over 5'11", eight-pack abs, handsome, assets in the millions, no bad habits.] Afraid she would ruin her life on a moment of reckless impulse, I snatched her phone, deleted the post, and gave her a serious rundown on the risks and consequences of early pregnancy while still studying. After much deliberation, she was finally persuaded. But a month later, a classmate struck it rich by getting pregnant. She not only married into a wealthy family, but also received a million-dollar childbirth bonus from her in-laws. My roommate was driven mad with jealousy. She stormed into the dorm, shrieking at me at the top of her lungs. "If it weren't for you, I'd be a rich wife by now! You owe me my life!" As she screamed, she stabbed me over and over, venting her rage until I was dead. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day she first posted on the forum, brazenly searching for a baby daddy.
