Chapter 1

Susanna's POVAfter overhearing Lorenzo Gallo's conversation with his best friend, I stepped out into the courtyard and called Antonio Rossi, a trustee of Howardson University."I'm willing to accept Howardson University's invitation, but I have one request…" I tried to keep my voice steady, fighting back the sobs threatening to break through. "I need you to prepare a new identity for me so that no one can find me."Antonio's soft laughter drifted through the phone."I'm absolutely delighted that you're willing to accept our invitation, Ms. Conti. I'll arrange for you to be safely escorted away in three days!"Putting my phone away, I returned to the villa, where Elena Marino's fragile, delicate sobs sounded from the living room."Lorenzo, I know there's a place in your heart reserved for Susanna…" She choked on a sob, tears streaming down her cheeks even before she finished speaking. "But this is a special situation, and I really need your help… My chest hurts, and the baby is d

Chapter 2

Susanna's POVI remained slumped on the floor, blood slowly trickling down my neck before dripping on the floor.Lorenzo had seemed so anxious and panicked when he rushed off with Elena earlier, not even looking back at me.It suddenly reminded me of how he used to panic over me like that in the past too.Back then, he had kept me tightly pressed against his chest, using his own body to shield me from an enemy's acid attack.I had been utterly heartbroken to see the vicious wounds on his back, wounds that would leave scars that would never fade.Yet, he had forced himself to endure the pain and acted as if nothing was wrong, even joking with me. "Susanna, if I turn into an ugly monster and nobody wants me anymore, you'll have to take responsibility for me, alright?"Now, however, I could only stare at the growing pool of blood beneath me and laugh. The sound grew progressively louder the more it felt like my heart was being shredded.Eventually, I hailed a cab and headed to the

Chapter 3

Susanna's POVUnable to fight back at all, I was dragged into the interrogation room.The first lash of the whip sent black spots dancing across my vision. My mind drifted to the night Lorenzo had flown halfway across the country to rush back to me, all because I had a nightmare. For the next seven days, he had remained by my side to lull me to sleep.As the second lash landed, I bit my lip so hard that the metallic taste of blood instantly filled my mouth. I could almost hear his gentle words back then, when he had been injured protecting me."I'll always protect you. I won't allow a single bit of harm to come to you. I'll take on all of your pain and suffering."Then came the third lash, the fourth…Every lash seemed to strike right into my soul, causing an agony a thousand times more painful than the sensation of my skin splitting open in bloody lines.On the 19th lash, I vaguely heard Lorenzo calling my name, but by then, I couldn't tell if it was reality or just my imaginat

Chapter 4

Lorenzo's POVOn the day of the wedding, the entire Gallo estate was bustling with noise and excitement.I stood before the standing mirror, fingers stiffly buttoning up the last button on my suit jacket.This wedding was supposed to be mine and Susanna's, for us to become married with our friends and family as witnesses. It was supposed to be Susanna and me who received everyone's blessings.Yet, it had now become nothing but an extravagant, pretentious act that Elena and I were putting on.Nausea churned in my stomach, and my entire body was stiff, instinctively rejecting the idea. Unfortunately, I had no other choice."As long as the wedding goes smoothly, I'll talk to the Don so that you and Susanna can get married right away and become husband and wife. Of course, you won't have to wait for me to give birth to our son, nor do you have to stick around till he turns one."Elena's words echoed in my mind like some sort of curse. Her promise was just too tempting to refuse.Ju

Chapter 5

Lorenzo's POV"Someplace I'll never find?"A bubble of laughter left my lips, but it was filled with self-mockery. This situation was just too ridiculous!Susanna had promised that she would wait for me, so she'd definitely wait. She wasn't the sort of person who went back on her words!She clearly loved me deeply. After all, for my sake, she had conceded time and again, even agreeing to let me sleep with another woman to produce an heir. If she really had any intentions of leaving, she would've left the moment I gave in to Don Giovanni's demand and told her that I needed to sleep with Elena to have a son. She certainly wouldn't have chosen to stay by my side and wait for me all these years!"Why did you force her to leave?" I screamed at Don Giovanni, my fury echoing in the empty house. "I'd already agreed to all of your demands! I slept with Elena to produce an heir and gave her a wedding! Why did you still chase her away when I've already done what I promised?"Don Giovanni

Chapter 6

Lorenzo's POVWithin the span of one night, rumors were spreading across the entire city of Sirano about the joke that was the Gallo family's wedding.The ceremony was barely over, the guests not even having time to leave for the ball when the groom abandoned the bride and ran off, never to reappear. The next day, I insisted on kicking Elena out of my home. I smashed everything that I could get my hands on, leaving the house a mess. The countless shattered pieces were reminiscent of the state of my own broken heart.Don Giovanni was expressionless as usual, while a pregnant Elena stood beside him. Our daughter was crying as she hid behind Elena, not daring to make a sound.I pressed the knife I held against my wrist harder, the sharp blade biting into my skin."Move out of the way! I want to go look for Susanna! Otherwise, I'm dragging all of you down to hell with me!"I had read Susanna's letter countless times, yet I still refused to believe that she would choose to give up o

Chapter 7

Lorenzo's POVCrimson slowly spread across Elena's dress as her lower body began bleeding.Don Giovanni hurriedly got to his feet, eyes locked on Elena helplessly. He commanded in a shaky tone, "Where's the doctor? Get her to the bed, now! Move faster!"There was a flurry of activity before Elena was whisked away to the hospital.I remained in the same spot and coldly watched everything happen, not moving at all.Don Giovanni slapped me across the face. "That's your baby she's carrying! At the very least, go to the hospital for the sake of that child!"At first, I refused to go, but then I suddenly realized that if Elena lost the baby, I would continue to be held here against my will. I would, once again, be forced to have sex with Elena until she was pregnant with another son.The very thought of that utterly repulsed me, so I had no choice but to head to the hospital.I was about to open the door to her room when two voices reached my ears—Elena and her mother, Anna Ricci."

Chapter 8

Susanna's POVIt wasn't until two years later that I learned the Gallo family had gone through a major upheaval, and that Elena had died from a severe hemorrhage.Nonetheless, all that had nothing to do with me anymore. I had my own life to focus on.Pushing open the wooden door that led to the courtyard, I watered the plants, then relaxed on a lounge chair to take in the view. This was a welfare home hidden deep in a jungle. After graduating from university, I completed the secret medical research that should have taken me ten years in just two. After that, I came here to work as a doctor. I was certain nobody would expect me to be in such a place.I had barely returned to the break room when the sky suddenly darkened, unleashing a torrent of rain upon the world.Just then, someone pounded on the door. "Susanna, come out, quickly! Something's happened to one of the children!"I yanked the door open and dashed out into the rain."Who is it? Where did they go?"The weather h

Chapter 9

Susanna's POVIn no time at all, Lorenzo and I were airlifted to the nearest hospital. We had barely landed when Lorenzo was whisked away by a team of medical staff to the operating room.My hand moved on autopilot, signing every form they handed me. With every passing second, my head grew hazier.At last, after the doctor finished speaking, I couldn't hold on anymore. My eyes rolled into the back of my head as I fainted."Get a stretcher! She's fainted!"…When I woke up, a day had already passed.A nurse told me that Lorenzo's surgery had been successful and that he'd been moved to a regular room. However, he was in a coma from overexhaustion, extensive blood loss, and a preexisting condition flaring up. No one knew when—or if—he would wake.My heart sank at the news. Memories of all the times he had saved me replayed in my mind, and before I knew it, I was heading for his room.The moment I pushed the door to his room open, the eye-watering scent of disinfectant assaulted m

Chapter 10

Susanna's POVWith that, Giovanni left the room.I returned to my seat by the bed, staring at the journal in a daze. After a long moment of hesitation, I finally opened it to the first page.…January 17"This journal is the first present Susanna ever gave me. I'm so happy! I promise I'll treat her well for the rest of our lives! If I ever do anything to hurt her, then let me be punished!"…I had to admit, Lorenzo kept his word. Every page after that first entry recorded his deep love for me. It ranged from simple gestures like giving me a rose, to grand ones like lighting up the sky with fireworks. He treated me like the most precious treasure in the world and spoiled me so much that everyone was envious.At that time, both of us had been sure that the other was the person we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with.However, our love story took an abrupt turn one day.…July 24"I'm about to do something that will brand me a bastard. But I can't die just yet. I still w
