Mission: Save the Underworld Queen, or Die Chapter 11
Matteo's POVDaniela's words tumbled over one another, as if she were terrified that if she paused for even a single second, I'd vanish into thin air right before her eyes again.I stared down at her. The cold, ruthless edge that usually defined the terrifying underworld queen was completely gone.I felt nothing but confusion. "Daniela, you never loved me. You resented me. You always wished I was dead. So why are you begging me to come back now?"I gave a mocking laugh. "What, is your precious Luca in trouble again? You need me to be his human shield?"My questions twisted Daniela's face with pure agony."No… no, it's not like that! It was only after you left that I found out the truth. Luca was pulling the strings the entire time."She choked on a sob. "Every single time you were taken, I ordered my men to pull you out immediately. But he intercepted the orders. He delayed them by two hours on purpose because he wanted you dead… "But you don't have to worry about him anymore.

Matteo's POV"But since I'm the one who put you in that world, I owe you some compensation."The System paused a beat before continuing, "After you were wiped out, Daniela completely lost her mind."I froze at the words."In your final hour there, she discovered how much you loved her. The guilt forced her to break through her memory suppression. Everyone else has forgotten you ever existed, but she remembers. She's been tearing the entire world apart looking for you."Right now, that world is rapidly collapsing under the weight of her obsession. Unless you go back, it's going to dissolve into nothingness.""Do you want to go back?" the System asked tentatively.While I was spacing out, Vivian walked over and waved a hand in front of my face."What are you daydreaming about? I'm starving. Come grab dinner with me."I snapped out of it and gave her a nod.But in my head, I answered the System, "No. I never felt a single shred of kindness in that world. I can't think of one sou
Mission: Save the Underworld Queen, or Die Chapter 9
Daniela's POVMy chest heaved as I flashed back through the past three years. Every single time Matteo had been kidnapped, I'd rushed to the rescue the moment I got word. But every single time, Luca would call, and I would leave.There had been eight kidnappings in all, and each time my men had waited two hours before rescuing him. I couldn't stop wondering how badly Matteo had been hurt or how many times his heart had broken over the course of those hours."Dani, I know I was wrong! Please, don't leave me!"Luca tugged frantically at my pant leg, tears streaming down his panicked face. "This really is the first time I've ever done anything like this! I've never hurt anyone before, I swear!"But I wasn't seeing Luca. All I could see was Matteo's face—stubborn and utterly detached.When we first got married, he used to smile. His eyes used to be full of life.He would cook for me, tell me about his day, and pull me down beside him to read together.But back then, my mind had bee
Mission: Save the Underworld Queen, or Die Chapter 8
Daniela's POVMy eyes darted wildly as I bolted out the door.I tore through my phone, but every trace of Matteo was gone. His number no longer existed. Our marriage certificate was nowhere to be found, and even the photo the housekeeper had sent me had vanished from our chat history, as if it had never been sent at all.I rushed to the exact road where I'd abandoned him and demanded the traffic camera footage. The screens showed the road clear and empty—neither of us had ever been there.I even tracked down the rivals who had kidnapped him before, but every single one of them swore they'd never heard the name.I was losing my mind, spiraling into a feverish obsession. I scoured every corner of the city, even forcing myself to walk into a police station—a place I would never dream of setting foot in. But the answer was always the same."Matteo Linari? Never heard of him.""I'm sorry, but there's no record of anyone by that name in the national database."After searching in vain

Daniela's POVFor a second, it felt like something struck me at the back of the head, and the memories from that time came flooding back all at once.Back then, I had genuinely believed Matteo was just faking his agony for attention, and I'd been completely disgusted by him.To make matters worse, Luca's knees had been flaring up, and he had practically begged Matteo to just talk with him and keep him company, but Matteo had refused.In a fit of sheer irritation, I lashed out and kicked him right in the chest.An inexplicable panic flared in my chest. I scrambled to leave, but before I could take a step, Luca walked out of the boutique, his brow furrowed."Dani, I suddenly feel really dizzy."I tucked my phone away at once and rushed him to the hospital.Two hours later, the doctor confirmed there was nothing wrong with Luca. Just a mild cold.Luca tugged gently at the hem of my jacket, looking up at me with apologetic eyes. "I'm so sorry, Dani. I didn't mean to make you worry
Mission: Save the Underworld Queen, or Die Chapter 6
Daniela's POVThe moment I made the turn, regret hit me.I looked back at Matteo lying broken on the road, and despite everything, I couldn't bring myself to be completely ruthless.I called my right-hand man, Carlo Marino. "Get a few guys out there to pick him up and get him to a hospital."After hanging up, I took Luca to a luxury watch boutique and did my best to cheer him up. The poor guy had been absolutely terrified these past few days.Years ago, to keep Luca safe, I had deliberately brought Matteo in to serve as his human shield. I spent so much time parading Matteo around at high-profile events, making sure the entire underworld believed he was my Achilles' heel.The strategy worked beautifully. Before that, every blind idiot looking to hurt me went after Luca. But afterward, whenever my rivals wanted revenge, Matteo was the first target they thought of.So even though Matteo had leaked Luca's location out of spite, I never actually wanted him dead.At most, I'd divorc
