Me desangraba en una esquina tras un ataque de una familia rival. Mi esposo, Dante —el subjefe de la familia Torrino— estaba en su auto, sosteniendo a la hermanita de su mejor amigo. Me lanzó una mirada fría y dijo: —Déjala. No es nadie. Más tarde, cuando otro me salvó, caminé a casa empapada en mi propia sangre. Encontré a Dante meciendo a Serafina, preocupadísimo por ella. Ella solo tenía una rodilla raspada. ¿Y la sangre que cubría mi ropa? Ni siquiera la vio. Solo observé. No dije nada. Luego saqué mi teléfono y llamé a mi madre: —Mamá, necesito volver a casa.

La familia mafiosa Rossi seguía una regla ancestral. Antes del matrimonio, el heredero tenía una oportunidad cada año de sacar un sorteo. Si obtenía uno favorable, podía elegir a su propia esposa y evitar un matrimonio arreglado. Dante Rossi obtuvo un sorteo desfavorable durante cinco años consecutivos. Y yo, que llevaba siete años saliendo con él, nunca logré casarme a su lado. Este año marcaba el sexto. Escuché por casualidad su conversación con Marco Valentino, el subjefe. —Señor Rossi, le volvió a tocar un sorteo favorable. La voz de Dante tenía una frialdad inusual. —Como siempre, cámbialo por uno desfavorable. Marco dudó un momento antes de intentar persuadirlo. —Señor Rossi, ya lo ha cambiado durante cinco años seguidos. ¿No le preocupa que Celia se vaya? Es la mujer más hermosa de Nopales. La mitad de los hombres de la ciudad la persiguen. Dante respondió con total seguridad: —No lo hará. Celia me ama demasiado. No se casará con nadie más. —Hace años, el padre de Livia murió salvándome. Su último deseo fue que me quedara a su lado durante cinco años. Cuando este año termine, le daré a Celia una gran boda como compensación. Mi último rastro de esperanza murió al escuchar esas palabras. Dante probablemente no sabía que la familia Rossi tenía una última regla ancestral. Si el heredero no lograba obtener un sorteo favorable seis veces, perdería el derecho a elegir su propio matrimonio. Además, yo pronto me casaría con alguien más.

Aku sekarat di sudut gang setelah diserang keluarga rival. Suamiku, Dante, wakil pimpinan Keluarga Tanto ... berada di dalam mobilnya, malah memeluk adik perempuan sahabatnya. Dia menatapku dengan dingin, lalu berkata, "Biarkan saja dia. Dia bukan siapa-siapa." Setelah orang lain menyelamatkanku, aku berjalan pulang sendiri dengan tubuh berlumuran darah. Aku mendapati Dante sedang menggendong Sera, menenangkannya dengan cemas padahal yang dia alami hanya lutut tergores. Sedangkan darah yang menutupi seluruh pakaianku? Dia bahkan tidak mau melihatnya. Aku hanya berdiri menatap mereka. Tidak mengatakan apa-apa. Kemudian, aku pun mengeluarkan ponselku dan mengirim pesan pada ibuku. [ Ibu, aku mau pulang. ]

When I was five months pregnant, my mafia husband Dante Pierce had an affair with his childhood sweetheart. That was when I discovered that our marriage certificate was fake. He had secretly married someone else behind my back. Even worse, the child I was carrying would be excluded from the family inheritance. From beginning to end, I was nothing more than a public front for his precious childhood sweetheart. After learning the truth, I did not cry or throw a tantrum. I quietly erased my legal identity, changed my name and disappeared forever with my child. However, later, everyone claimed that Dante, head of the Pierce family, was a hopeless romantic who had given up everything to search for the wife and child who had vanished without a trace.

For ten years, my family had called me a jinx. When I was three years old, my dad claimed that he lost a major project because he had to take care of me due to my illness. My mom wanted to buy me sweets, only to end up getting hit by a car in front of a candy store. That was how she hurt her arm. My older sister, Siena Bell, often claimed that she screwed up in her tests simply because I kept breaking her pens. One day, my mom invited a shaman named Mr. Reyes over. After inspecting the house, he contemplated for a while. "This child is affiliated with misfortune by nature. She's a walking jinx who absorbs the entire family's luck." He then added, "But if she has a life of misfortune, you will regain your luck." At first, I felt aggrieved and tried to fight back by throwing tantrums. I tugged at my mom's sleeve while arguing loudly, "I'm not a jinx!" But my mom just looked at me calmly. There was a hint of eerie calmness in her eyes. She said, "Mr. Reyes said that you have to accept your fate. Someone has to bear the sacrifices no matter what." Her icy words doused out the hope in my heart. In a way, this twisted dynamic actually worked. My dad's business went steady, whereas Siena started getting better grades. At one point, I even started thinking that I was a real jinx. But… why was it that my family was haunted by more misfortune after my death?
