I was reborn into the year Lorenzo was most captivated by me.
It was also the year he first betrayed me.
I dragged my feverish body and burst into the underground club he frequented.
The man, who was usually impeccably dressed in a suit, now had his bronzed chest bare.
A seductive woman was entwined in his arms.
“I bet your sweet little appraiser has never seen you like this, has she, Lorenzo?”
His fingers tightened around her throat. “Don't test my patience. If you dare show your face in front of her, I'll make you disappear forever.”
The woman hooked a finger under the lace garter on her thigh.
“Is this what you want to make disappear?”
Watching the lust ignite in Lorenzo's eyes, I dialed my father's number.
“I agree to marry into the Rossi family.”

The Night I Saw My Don Burn

Lorenzo’s voice was choked with emotion. “I just wanted to see you, Kingsley. We were so in love before.”


“Mr. Lorenzo, I am Mrs. Rossi now. Please be mindful of your position. It's not appropriate to speak to a married woman this way, is it?”


Lorenzo could no longer hold back and roared, “Kingsley, what in the world is wrong with you? Why have we become like this? That business with the finger from a past life—I never did it!”


I didn't listen to his rambling any longer and hung up the phone, blocking his number as well.


Seeing my decisiveness, Vincent, who was standing nearby, let the corner of his mouth quirk up slightly.


A moment later, a call came in from an unknown number. I assumed it was Lorenzo, pestering me again, and was about to hang up, but Vincent stopped me.


“Why not listen to his confession?”


Clearly, Vincent wanted to watch the show, so I answered the call.


A cool, clear female voice came from the other end. “Kingsley, are you willing to cooperate with me?”
