At the wedding banquet, the fake heiress leaned close to me under the guise of a toast, a provocative smile on her lips.
"Happy wedding. I tried out your man and your marriage bed last night."
I couldn't take it anymore and slapped her across the face.
The next second, my husband, Ricardo Moretti, slapped me six times in front of everyone.
"Ella has always yielded to you in everything, yet you still can't tolerate her!"
"I'd rather marry a dog than a woman as classless as you!"
At his command, I was thrown into the deep mountains of Corsica, into a cave crawling with venomous snakes.
There, I was tormented for seven days straight.
Then my three own brothers showed up.
My eldest brother, Luca Vito, the current head of the family, kicked and broke my leg.
"Ella cried all night. I've already made the decision—all your assets have been transferred to her."
My second brother, Marco Vito, a Hollywood film emperor, twisted and broke my arm.
"From now on, only Ella's name will be written in the family registry. You will never be acknowledged as a Vito."
My third brother, Enzo Vito, the family's chief surgeon, stabbed me directly in the abdomen.
"Ella has had kidney disease since childhood. To make it up to her, you must donate a healthy kidney!"
Before I could argue, my internal organs were carved out alive.
In agony that could drive anyone insane, a cold mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
【Congratulations, host. All the abuse plotlines for the cannon-fodder female supporting character have been completed!】
【Once this body dies, you may return to your original world and claim the ten-billion reward!】
Hearing that, I suddenly stopped wailing.
The despair and pain in my heart instantly turned into relief at the impending release.
My eldest and second brothers left with my kidney.
In the cold snake cave, only my third brother Enzo and I remained.
Blood flowed steadily from the wound. Enzo complained as he stitched me up.
"If you'd cooperated earlier, I wouldn't have had to operate in this godforsaken place."
"What a hassle."
Just last week, Ella had gotten a nearly invisible paper cut from a document.
Enzo had acted as if the sky was falling, summoning a top medical team and checking the wound every three hours.
Now, facing me—whose kidney had been cut out alive—he found even basic suturing a bother.
Perhaps because I'd been silent for so long, he leaned down and patted my face, then injected me with antibiotics.
"Stop playing dead. I know you're tough. This little wound is nothing."
"You just want to play pitiful so I'll feel guilty and steal my attention from Ella, don't you? Drop your petty schemes!"
In the past, when misunderstood by my closest kin, I would tear up and argue.
But now, I felt only numb calm.
I closed my eyes and said hoarsely, "You can go too. Leave me here to die alone."
To me, the fastest relief would be to die immediately.
But to Enzo, my words clearly meant something else.
"Sophia, what do you mean by that? Saying such defeatist things on purpose to disgust me?"
He deliberately pulled the suture tight. The fragile flesh at the wound edge tightened, foul blood gushed out, bringing piercing pain.
Seeing me gasp in pain, cold sweat beading on my forehead, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes. He softened his tone.
"You're my own flesh and blood sister. Do you have any idea how much we three brothers have sacrificed to find you all these years? How could I let you die like this?"
"In the end, it's all because you're narrow-minded and hit Ella that you're suffering like this."
As he complained, he injected anesthetic into my wound.
"As long as you promise not to make things difficult for Ella anymore and apologize to her properly when you get back."
"I can take you back to the estate and give you the best treatment."
Listening to his condescending tone, I felt only irony.
I am a transmigrator. I arrived in this world at age six and became Sophia Vito.
Three years ago, the three Vito brothers tearfully found me and brought me back to the Vito family estate.
But when I returned, I discovered there was already a "heiress" in the house—Ella Colleoni, whom they had adopted years ago.
The first time I saw her, I recognized her.
Back in the orphanage, it was she who locked me in the basement and took my place when the Vito family came to adopt.
For twenty years, Ella enjoyed all the love and care that should have been mine, while I bore all her suffering in her stead.
But if she so much as furrowed her brow in feigned grievance, my three blood brothers would unconditionally side with her and blame me.
Even Ricardo, to whom I had been betrothed since before birth, only smiled at her, treating me with icy indifference.
I was sick of it all. I didn't want to argue anymore.
I raised my hand and tore open the freshly stitched wound.
As blood and intestines gushed out together, Enzo screamed until his voice cracked.
"Sophia, are you insane! You'll die!"
Seeing the tears of panic in his eyes, I curled my lips.
"Die? That would be wonderful."
"Living one more second makes me sick!"
With that, I could no longer fight the heavy droop of my eyelids. My head lolled to the side, and I lost consciousness.
第2章
I don't know how much time passed before I woke from the darkness.
I thought I had returned to my original world, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar face of my eldest brother, Luca Vito.
"You're finally awake."
His eyes were slightly dark and sunken, as if he hadn't rested well, but his tone was full of impatience.
"You're this old, why are you still so impulsive?"
"Making a fuss over every little thing, dying over nothing—where's the dignity of a Vito heiress…"
Just thinking about having to deal with this rotten world again made me feel utterly drained. I didn't even have the interest to argue.
I cut him off, my gaze hollow: "You're right. I'm a disgrace. I don't deserve to be human."
"So, let me die."
Luca's expression changed drastically. He instinctively raised his hand to slap me.
But seeing my bloodless, ashen face, the slap never landed.
"Sophia! I'm warning you, stop talking nonsense!"
His voice trembled. The impatience in his eyes faded a little, replaced by a trace of panic he didn't even notice himself.
"I paid a huge price to pull you out of those mountains, and it wasn't so you could spout nonsense here!"
I curled my lips in a cold, mirthless smile.
Paid a price? Probably afraid that if I died, there'd be no spare organ bank for Ella.
Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open, and Enzo walked in carrying medicine.
Seeing me awake, a flicker of joy flashed in his eyes, but when he spoke, his tone was still harsh.
"You're awake, so drink the medicine. Don't make me force you!"
He held the bowl out to me. The liquid was pitch black, giving off a bitter smell.
I turned my head away and closed my eyes in refusal: "No need. It's a waste of medicine."
"You!"
Enzo was so angry his hands shook, but unlike usual, he didn't force the medicine down my throat. Instead, he set the bowl on the nightstand and reached out to check my wound.
His fingertips were unusually gentle when they touched the bandage.
For the first time, there was a hint of the tenderness he showed Ella.
"As expected, with the best medicine, recovery is fast…"
He re-wrapped the bandage and glared at me: "You behave yourself. If the wound opens again, I won't stitch you up a second time!"
Despite the harsh words, I clearly saw the red blood vessels in his eyes and the barely perceptible trembling of his fingertips.
He must have stayed up late guarding me these past few days.
If it were before, I would have been moved by that sliver of tenderness.
But now, I only felt irony.
I pulled my hand free and suddenly threw off the covers, about to tear the wound open again.
As long as I could die faster, anything was fine.
"You're insane!"
Luca grabbed my arm with a grip that nearly crushed my bones.
But when I groaned in pain, he instantly loosened his grip, his voice cracking as he shouted: "Sophia, what exactly do you want?"
"To die."
My tone was calm, as if discussing something trivial.
"Letting me die is better for everyone."
"You won't have to be troubled anymore, and Ella can safely be the Vito heiress."
"So please, do me a favor and let me die quickly."
第3章
Those words seemed to hit a sore spot for Luca.
His eyes reddened. He raised his hand and slapped me, but it was lighter than any previous slap.
"I forbid it! You are a Vito by blood. Who dares let you die?"
Enzo panicked too. He stepped forward, pressed my shoulders, and pushed me back onto the bed, his tone carrying a rare plea.
"Sophia, stop this."
"I know you're in pain, but recover well, and in the future… I'll cherish you more, okay?"
Looking at the plea in his eyes, I felt only absurdity.
Where was this before?
When he carved out my kidney, when he made a fuss over Ella's tiny wound, why didn't he think of cherishing me?
I closed my eyes and stopped looking at him.
I let Enzo cover me with the blanket again and bring the medicine bowl to my lips, but I refused to open my mouth.
In the stalemate, my second brother Marco pushed the door open, followed by a pale-faced Ricardo.
Seeing me, Marco's eyes reddened. He quickly walked to the bed.
"Sophia, it's good you're awake. You scared your second brother to death."
When I was first acknowledged by the Vito family, Marco was the best to me of everyone.
He took me sightseeing, told me how much the family had missed me over the years, and often couldn't hold back tears when he got emotional.
But later, after Ella tearfully tattled a few times, he changed his face and accused me of being two-faced.
Seeing him, I felt even more annoyed and avoided the hand he reached out to me.
Marco's hand hovered in midair, stiffened, then withdrew with a sour expression.
Seeing this, Ricardo stepped forward and took the medicine bowl from Enzo.
"Let me. She might listen to me."
It was no wonder he was so confident. After all, over the years, anyone with eyes could see how much I accommodated this fiancé, how deeply I loved him.
Just as he walked toward me, the hospital room door was pushed open again.
"Sister Sophia, I came to see you."
Ella walked in weakly, wearing a hospital gown.
Luca immediately stood up to support her: "Ella, you just had the transplant surgery. You're still weak. Why did you come?"
Ella shook her head, her gaze landing on me, full of feigned guilt.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't stopped Sister Sophia that day, none of this would have happened."
"I feel uneasy. I had to come apologize to her."
She took the medicine bowl from Ricardo and sat down by my bed.
"Sister Sophia, don't be angry with yourself. Drink your medicine and recover well. Everyone is worried sick about you."
"I know you still blame me, but I really didn't mean to take anything. Everything in the Vito family should have been yours…"
Her words seemed conciliatory, but every sentence implied I was petty and throwing a tantrum with my own body.
Before her spoon could touch my lips, I raised my hand and knocked the bowl away.
With a clatter, the porcelain shattered, and the hot medicine splashed all over Ella.
Her wrist and collar instantly reddened.
Ella cried out, her eyes instantly reddening, her voice choking with sobs.
"Sister Sophia… how could you do this? I just wanted to feed you medicine…"
She bit her lip, looking utterly wronged, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Sophia! You're insane!"
