Lahat ng Kabanata ng Too Nasty to Love: Goodbye Forever: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 18

"N-Nothing happened," Matilde claimed, forcing herself to sound calm. "I dropped the food off inside and left. Have you still not found Serafina? It's probably because I didn't lock the door properly, and she got out."Alessandro's voice was rough. "I also saw a bunch of rats and cockroaches back then."All of a sudden, Matilde screamed into the phone, "Alessandro, they're trying to rip my clothes off!"The burly men in front of her were already out of patience, but the line stayed quiet on the other end.Matilde steeled herself and decided to play her trump card. "I have dirt on the Denaro family, and I know where their private vault is hidden. Come get me, and I'll tell you everything!"Alessandro pressed his fingers to his brow.The Denaro family was his biggest rival in Astora, and if he could seize that vault, then his hold on the Don's seat would be unshakable.He contacted the people holding Matilde hostage and negotiated terms, then signed off on a two-billion-dollar pen

Snakes and a mass of slimy slugs came pouring out of the tank. Just before the door slammed shut, Matilde summoned every last bit of her strength and roared, "Yes, I hate her! Why does Serafina get to have everything while I'm thrown around like garbage?"Exhausted, Alessandro returned to his study. The images of Serafina being harassed in the video burned into his mind.He ordered his men to deal with the two men in the video before clicking on his encrypted folder. It contained Serafina's private photos, which were meant to be his last resort to blackmail her into showing up. But after seeing the news today, he abandoned the idea.If the photos ever got out, the damage to her reputation would be devastating. Besides, her beauty was only ever meant to be for his eyes.But when he entered the password, he found the folder completely empty. Not only were the photos gone, but all the dirt he had spent years collecting on various major families had also vanished without a trace.Al

Serafina finally turned to look at Alessandro. The light in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by an endless, glacial coldness. "And what does that have to do with you?" she retorted.Alessandro's heart, which had been so full of hope just moments ago, sank bit by bit. He lowered his head, his voice so quiet even he could barely hear it. "Serafina… I've missed you so much.""What did you say?"Alessandro took a deep breath, pulling himself together until he was once again the composed, commanding Don. "Serafina, I want to talk to you.""I have nothing to talk to you about."Seeing the standoff, Stefano drew his gun and pointed it at Asher, signaling for him to leave."How dare you!" Serafina immediately stepped in front of Asher to shield him.But Asher gently took her hand and drew her behind him, then gestured toward the second floor. In an instant, an entire row of snipers and special forces operatives appeared on the second-floor balcony, aiming the latest-model tactical ri

The second stop was Swedale.The moment Alessandro stepped off the plane, he went straight to the entrance of Serafina's product presentation. But this time, instead of rushing in, he lit a cigar and stayed inside the car.It wasn't until the presentation ended and Serafina and Asher got back into their car that he followed her—slowly, almost as if he were punishing himself.Just as he expected, they went straight to the tree near Stockven Palace, dug up the letters and the limited-edition gemstone he had once placed there, and burned and discarded them.…By the final stop—Nadoria, where Alessandro had proposed to Serafina—he clearly remembered where she had buried her keepsakes. This time, he arrived first. He dug it up before she could, opened the letter, and read it. The last line seared into his eyes. "We have a long future ahead. I wish to travel the world with Alessandro all over again every five years."So what she had personally burned at every previous stop was their
