“Shut her up. Take her to the basement and lock her there for a few days. Don’t give her any food or water!”
Not long after that, he left quickly with Maria to have her checked by a doctor.
Meanwhile, I was being thrown into a cold, dark room in the basement. Time passed slowly, while I was feeling weaker every moment. When I was about to pass out from hunger and exhaustion, the basement door finally opened.
Mrs. Lombardi stood at the door. The moment she saw my condition, her eyes widened in shock and she almost dropped to her knees in front of me.
“I will punish that wicked woman for what she’s done to you,” she said with anger in her voice.
I gave a tired smile and handed her the small monitor I had hidden on my collar. Her face turned serious right away. However, she quickly passed the monitor to her assistant to investigate the truth.
On that very same night, I left the Lombardi Family’s mansion. I also took the urns of my grandmother and my son with me and walked away without looking back.
Meanwhile, Angelo stayed by Maria’s side for an entire day and night. He only left after the doctor confirmed that the baby in Maria’s belly was healthy and safe.
