Chapter 1 Absurdity
Bella Rizzo’s POV: It hurts! When I woke up, my head was pounding terribly, and my body felt like it had been crushed by something. Especially my lower body, the swelling was distinctly painful. I immediately threw off the covers to check my body, only to find myself completely naked. I snapped awake, my God! What horrible thing had happened! Looking around, suddenly, a cold and handsome face caught my eye. I gasped, my breath hitching in shock! There was a man sleeping beside me! I clutched my mouth tightly to stop myself from screaming in fright. After a few seconds of blankness in my brain, I forced myself to remember what had happened last night, despite the headache. Last night, I was drugged at the graduation party, and during my escape, I ended up in this man’s room. At the moment, the man was still asleep. Biting back the pain and holding back tears, I carefully got out of bed. The floor was a mess, and my clothes were torn to shreds. With no choice, I picked up the man’s white shirt and put it on, then quietly left. I was in agony; my virginity had been taken by a stranger. But losing my virginity wasn’t the worst thing… My husband is a Mafia godfather. If he or his men find out that I slept with a stranger… The stranger and I would surely meet a gruesome end. No, no, don’t scare yourself like that. My husband has never cared about my life; we haven’t even met on our wedding day. Anxiously, I returned to the Leone residence, the residence arranged for me by my husband, the Mafia godfather. He has never appeared here, and I don’t even know what he looks like. Normally, only I and some servants are at the residence, and those servants surely noticed I hadn’t returned all night. They would secretly tell my mother-in-law… I prayed that today would be like any other. As I was praying for divine protection, the butler approached me. “Mrs. Leone, you’ve returned?” “Yes.” I noticed the butler’s gaze lingering on me, “Mrs. Leone, that shirt?” My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. I forced myself to stay calm and casually tugged at the men’s shirt I was wearing, “It’s a new model I just bought. Nice, isn’t it?” As long as I didn’t show weakness, the butler wouldn’t dare question me. Although the men’s shirt was large, it was just long enough to cover down to my thighs, exposing my slender and straight legs. Honestly, my outfit was quite in line with the latest fashion trends. Seeing this, the butler nodded and didn’t say anything more, but I could tell from his expression that he was displeased. Yet, due to my status as the young mistress, he couldn’t directly criticize my attire. I straightened my back and headed towards the second floor of the house. Once back in my bedroom, I relaxed completely and hurried into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom of the room. I immersed my entire body in the bathtub to relieve the physical pain. With my eyes closed, the pain coursing through my body reminded me of the ordeal from the night before. Remembering last night’s events, I felt both aggrieved and angry. A perfectly good graduation party, and I had been drugged. “I’m so furious!” I swore to find out who had drugged me and make them pay. I had been married to Mr. Leone for three years, but we had never met. I only heard from the butler that Mr. Leone was returning from abroad soon. I absolutely could not let Mr. Leone or Madam Carmela, my mother-in-law, know about this. I knew the Mafia’s vengeful nature. If I made a big deal out of this, it was inevitable that both the stranger and I would suffer. If it also got back to the Rizzo family, big trouble would come at me one after another. While I was pondering, there was a knock at the door from the butler, “Mrs. Leone.” “Is there something?” I gathered my emotions and responded coolly. “Mr. Leone he…” “He’s back?” My expression tightened. So soon?
