I was obsessed with Dante, my young uncle, and sacrificed everything for our forbidden love.
When we eloped seven years ago, his legs were broken, and my right hand was left with a permanent scar.
Now, he caresses my scar, only to call out another's name:
"Sophia, you're so beautiful."
When I discovered his mistress was a month pregnant, I thought that was the ultimate betrayal.
Until, hiding on the balcony, I heard his true feelings:
"I want a child with Lydia, not you! You're just a substitute!"
Seven years of mutual torment, and in his eyes, I was still nothing more than a possession.
This time, I refuse to be his prisoner.

The Don’s Forbidden Niece

It was only then that I realized her home was filled with Dante's things.


It seemed like this was the place where Dante truly lived.


Sophia sat on the sofa, drinking some medicine.


She tilted her head back to swallow the pills, then shook her head. "I'm pregnant."


I froze, and it took me a long moment to process what she'd said.


"So you're here to convince me to step aside."


Sophia shook her head sincerely. "I'm here to convince you to free yourself."


I looked down, clutching the teacup as a wave of negative emotions washed over me.


"I'm young; I can afford to wait. With this baby, I won't have to worry about money in the future. I don't need a title, but are you willing to live in this abyss forever?"
