Chapter 7 Revenge
The reason I could put up so much money this time was because we had a deal.
“Is it done?” the person on the other end asked.
I got straight to the point. “How long will it take for you to bring down Salvatore?”
He chuckled. “Since I helped you this time, shouldn’t you return the favor as soon as possible, Ms. Zarella?”
I did not hesitate. My voice was cold when I said, “Sure.”
He was a bit surprised and asked why, but I did not feel like explaining.
As Salvatore’s wife, I knew all the stocks and loopholes in the Aiello Group.
Over the next two weeks, I gathered every bit of financial dirt I could find and handed it all to his enemies.
The very next day, the media exploded with reports about the Aiello Group’s shady business.
The company was on the brink of collapse, but even then, Salvatore made sure to send Gabi abroad first.
And still, he did not feel the least bit sorry.
He stood in front of me like nothing had happened and said, “Giulia, I’ll give you another chance to be with me. I’ll protect you…”
I just smiled without a word.
“Salvatore, why do you think I’ll always love you and wait for you to come back?
“When you scattered my father’s ashes for Gabi, I swore I’d never forgive you in this lifetime.”
Salvatore froze. He could not believe it.
Because for so many years, I was always the one who chased after him, asking how he was.
Even when he made me drink for clients, even when he threw me into a bar to be humiliated by men because Gabi was afraid of thunder, I still forgave him just because he would whisper sweet nothings to me afterward.
I still remember how he protected Gabi again and again while hurting and humiliating me.
I cannot forget it, and I will not forgive it.
Salvatore’s eyes turned red. He could not accept me walking away like this.

He grabbed my hand, pushed me against the wall, and tried to kiss me, “Why won’t you love me? Giulia, don’t forget that you were the one who clung to me first!”
I bit him.
The taste of blood filled my mouth, and I looked him dead in the eye. “I’ve regretted it for a long time.”
I told Salvatore that my love for him had disappeared a long time ago, and now, all I felt was hate.
“Salvatore, I helped bring down your company. If you still think I love you after that, then there’s really nothing left to say.”
I pulled my hand away from his, turned around, and walked off without looking back.
Since he was never sure I was his first choice, I would never accept his leftovers.
The Aiello Group’s stock kept crashing, and even Salvatore could not save it.
In less than two months, he went bankrupt and had to move into a basement.
Without money to keep things running, there was no way for him to make a comeback, but still, he refused to give up.
Someone used the chance to humiliate him by offering him a job as a security guard. I thought he would not accept it, but he did.
O
I should have known that Salvatore was the kind of person who would do anything if it meant chasing what he want- ed.
If something belongs to him, or he thinks it should, he will fight tooth and nail to hold onto it.
One day, I was at a company to visit a friend, and I ran into him.
He was wearing a security guard uniform. That pride he used to carry was mostly gone, but he still had that stubborn look.
He looked at me coldly. “Giulia, I’ll start over. If you beg me and apologize, I’ll forgive you and give you a chance to be close to me again.”
