Chapter 2

After handing the items to Jeremy, I watched as he drank the water and gleefully wore the bracelet. Only then did I go and buy another bottle of water as well as an amethyst bracelet similar to the one Thomas had gifted me.

Then, I returned home.

When Mom and Thomas saw that I'd nearly finished the water, they sighed in relief.

In the next few days, Adelia no longer looked sick like before. She seemed healthy and was more active and energized than she'd been before.

I curled up on the couch and faked a cough.

Adelia quickly walked up to me. With a smug and taunting look, she asked, "Are you feeling unwell, Rosalie? You look so pale. You're not very sick, are you? Poor thing…"

Adelia then waved her medical report in my face as if she were showing it off.

"Oh yeah, you haven't heard, have you? I went to the hospital earlier today, and the doctor said I've fully recovered! Don't you think I've been blessed, Rosalie? It looks like all your luck has come to me," she said.

Hatred welled up in me as I watched her chatter gleefully. I still swallowed my anger and forced a smile. "Congratulations, Addy. Still, I'm sure my luck will return to me soon."

Mom had just come home when she heard of Adelia's recovery. She grinned happily and held Adelia's hand, her eyes full of love and concern.

"Oh, my sweet child. Thank the heavens you've recovered!" Mom exclaimed, eyes watery with tears of joy.

When she turned to me, her gaze became sharp as she snapped, "Unlike someone who is a burden to others, acting all sick and mopey!"

Tears filled my eyes when I heard Mom's words.

In my past life, she had treated me the same way, chiding and beating me. It had only worsened after I fell sick, as though she wished I would die right away.

However, I was Mom's biological daughter, while Adelia was just a child she'd adopted.

Soon, it was the day to fill out our university application forms. Adelia was confident that my exam results had been swapped with hers, so she didn't even check hers before she started filling in the forms.

I coughed vigorously and pretended to care as I asked, "Are you sure you don't want to check your final exam marks first?"

"Why do you care?" Adelia scoffed. "I know very well what my marks are. So what if you have high marks? If your health continues declining, you're just going to end up dead! It'll just benefit me in the end!"

Twisted delight crept across her face as she spoke. A strong sense of disgust flooded my chest as I watched.

"Is that so? You have to be careful, then, Addy. Don't let all those blessings overwhelm you when that happens," I warned.

Adelia grew angry when I said that. She was about to retort when Thomas entered the room.

"Thom!" Adelia threw herself into his arms as soon as she saw him. Her voice trembled as she said, "Rosalie is coughing so violently. I'm so scared it's contagious…"

Adelia even nuzzled into his arms when she spoke.

Thomas held her close and looked at me with a frown.

"You should go and rest in bed if you're feeling unwell, Rose," Thomas said in his usual gentle manner.

I'd been blinded by Thomas' false tenderness in my previous life, thinking he'd been sincere toward me.

Only in death did I find out that he'd been in cahoots with Adelia behind my back. They'd even planned for my death.

Now that I was back again, I was going to make them pay.

7.3
I was never supposed to step into his world. I was just a daughter trying to survive the wreckage of a father's mistakes. A quiet girl living a small, careful life-until one night shattered everything I thought I knew about fear, power, and possession. They say the mafia doesn't forgive. They say debts are paid in blood. They never warned me that sometimes, the price is a woman. Luciano De Luca. The name alone makes men lower their voices and avert their eyes. A king without a crown. A devil in a tailored suit. He rules the underworld with calculated brutality, commanding loyalty through fear and obedience through bloodshed. To him, mercy is a weakness-and love is a lie told by foolish men before they die. Luciano is not a man you reason with. He is power, violence, and control wrapped in a deadly calm. A mafia king who destroys without mercy and takes without permission. When my father fails to pay his debt, Luciano takes me instead. I become his collateral. His punishment. His possession. Trapped in his world of blood and secrets, I am nothing more than a reminder of betrayal-kept under his watch, bound by his rules, and stripped of every illusion of freedom. Luciano made it clear from the start: I am not his guest. I am not his lover. I am not free. I am his possession. He watches me like a predator studying prey-cold, assessing, waiting for me to break. He expects fear to reduce me to nothing. He expects me to beg. To submit. But I don't. And that defiance ignites something far more dangerous than hatred in him. But somewhere between the locked doors and the whispered threats, I realize something dangerous: the man who owns me is far more broken than he wants the world to know. Luciano De Luca is ruthless-but he is not heartless. He is controlling-but barely. And every time I challenge him, every time I look him in the eyes without flinching, something dark and volatile stirs beneath his calm exterior. Luciano doesn't love. He claims. He controls. He owns. Yet the more he tries to crush my spirit, the more obsessed he becomes. His protection turns violent. His control turns suffocating. His eyes follow me like a promise and a threat all at once. He says I am his weakness. His mistake. His curse. Yet when enemies circle too close, it is Luciano who shields me with his body. When danger threatens, it is his voice that growls warnings, his hands that tighten possessively, his presence that promises violence to anyone who dares touch what is his. Because once a mafia king decides you belong to him... escape is no longer an option. I am trapped in a golden cage built from power, luxury, and danger-but the greatest threat isn't the guns, the blood, or the men who would kill for him. It's the way Luciano looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. The way his control fractures when I'm hurt. The way his name feels dangerous on my lips. Because loving a mafia king is not a fairy tale. It's a war. A war between survival and desire. Between freedom and obsession. Between the girl I used to be and the woman his darkness is shaping me into. The deeper I fall into his world, the more I uncover secrets buried beneath his cruelty-betrayals that made him this way, scars that never healed, enemies that would destroy us both if given the chance. And as the line between captor and protector blurs, I'm forced to face a devastating truth: The man who owns my body may soon own my heart. But loving Luciano De Luca comes at a cost. Because in his world, love is a liability. And the moment he chooses me... is the moment he paints a target on my back. Will I escape the man who claims to own me? Or will I surrender to the darkness that refuses to let me go? In a world ruled by blood, power, and betrayal, one innocent woman will discover that the most dangerous thing of all... is being loved by a ruthless mafia king.
