After My Rebirth, I Said No to the Mafia Don's Late Confession

After My Rebirth, I Said No to the Mafia Don's Late Confession Plot

"I had spent my whole life living in the shadow of my sister, Juliana, the woman everyone in the mafia's heir circle adored and protected.

She had no idea that I had been reborn.

Just like in my previous life, she smiled sweetly and gently, insisting that I pick my fiancé first, pretending to be thoughtful and gracious.

However, this time, I refused.

In my previous life, I naïvely believed she meant well. I married the man she recommended, Chester Kane, an heir who was said to have been paralyzed after an ambush.

I gave up my right to inherit the family, becoming his caretaker, his crutch, the medicine he used to fight loneliness. However, no matter how much warmth I gave him, his heart remained frozen.

The truth only came out during my sister's pregnancy celebration. When an assassin from a rival family raised his gun toward her belly, the man who had not stood in years suddenly rose to his feet. He shoved me toward the muzzle of the gun. All seven bullets tore into my womb.

As I collapsed, I saw him pull my sister into his arms, shielding her with his own body and taking the final shot for her.

Only then did I understand.

He had never been paralyzed. His family had never abandoned him.

He pretended to be sick because Juliana's heart belonged to another man, and he refused to be tied to me.

""I'm sorry, Tania,"" he said. ""I lied to you. However, I couldn't let Juliana lose the heir she's carrying. I'll repay what I owe you in our next life.""

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father asked us to choose our marriage partners.

This time, I chose no one. Yet back then, they were the ones who begged for my love."
