Reborn to Marry the Right Mafia Brother Chapter 08

Reborn to Marry the Right Mafia Brother Chapter 08

In my previous life, Lucien dies from poisoning.

A Don who controls New York’s underworld doesn’t fall to an assassin’s bullet.

Instead, he dies from an invisible poison.

That suddenly reminds me of something.

In my previous life, I once see an entire cabinet filled with strange-colored chemicals in the secret laboratory beneath Dante’s room.

Back then, he often uses those substances to experiment on me.

Sometimes they make me lose consciousness.

Other times, they leave me strangely restless and agitated.

Thinking about it now, those are never ordinary drugs.

Dante has probably been researching poisons all along.

I bring Simone into the company and make her start at the very bottom as an intern.

This time, she seems to have learned her lesson.

Whatever I tell her to do, she does it. She even keeps an obedient smile on her face the entire time.

But I know she hasn’t changed.

She is simply waiting for the right opportunity.

Dante wants to kill Lucien and me.

And Simone probably wants to get rid of me, Lucien, and even Dante himself.

But as long as she wants Dante dead too, there is something I can use.

Before long, I come up with a plan.

I avoid Lucien and go to Dante myself.

I know this man too well.

He likes women who are obedient and dependent on him.

In my previous life, the only reason I manage to survive at his side for so long is because I

constantly play the part he wants me to play.

So this time, I change into a dress far more daring than anything I normally wear and walk into his private club.

Dante.”

I look at him and deliberately soften my voice.

“I like you.”

His eyes immediately change.

“Sister-in-law.”

Leaning back against the couch, he gives me a knowing smile.

“You’re not afraid Lucien will kill you for saying that?”

“Well…” I bite my lip, pretending to hesitate. “I’ve always thought life with you might be better

than life with him.”

Dante takes the bait immediately.

I lower my voice.

“And there’s something else I have to tell you.”

“Simone wants to kill you.”

The smile instantly disappears from his face.

“Yesterday, at the company, I overheard her talking to a man on the phone.”

“She said you’ve been abusing her, so she’s planning to get rid of you first.”

“Then she plans to take everything she believes should have been hers.”

Dante’s expression darkens instantly.

“You’re sure?”

“Of course.”

I look at him.

“She said she doesn’t want to keep being controlled by you.”

Luckily, I have memories from my previous life.

I know exactly what Dante fears and what kind of words are most likely to make him believe me.

Almost no one knows what he has done to Simone except the two of them.

So he believes me.

Dante suddenly rises to his feet.

“That bitch. I think she really wants to die.”

He walks closer to me, a smile slowly returning to his face.

“Annette, just wait. Once I get rid of Lucien and Simone, you’ll be mine.”

“I’ll take care of you.”

With that, he turns and walks away.

I stand there, barely stopping myself from laughing coldly.

Does he really think I would believe him?

I have already died once in my previous life.

How could I possibly jump into the same hell again?

After leaving Dante, I immediately go to find Lucien.

Strictly speaking, whether he lives or dies doesn’t have much to do with my plan.

But in this life, he has helped me.

He lets me get involved in the Family businesses, teaches me how to negotiate, and gives me the opportunity to make money and become independent.

I don’t want to watch him die the same unexplained death he does in my previous life.

In his office, Lucien frowns slightly after hearing what I have to say.

“What proof do you have that Dante wants to kill me?”

I take out my recording device and press play.

My conversation with Dante plays back word for word.

But when the recording reaches the part where I deliberately flirt with him to lure him in, even my toes curl from embarrassment.

“Let me explain first.”

I quickly try to clarify.

“Everything I said was an act. I only said those things to make him believe me.”

Lucien doesn’t answer, but his expression clearly darkens.

I immediately realize I should probably stop talking.

The next second, however, he suddenly reaches out and pulls me into his arms.

The familiar scent of pine and something cold instantly surrounds me.

I can even hear the steady beat of his heart beneath my ear, and my entire body stiffens.

Lucien looks down at me, his gray-blue eyes holding an emotion I can’t understand.

“Annette.”

His voice is low.

“Don’t let me find out that you actually intend to betray me.”

“As long as you’re Mrs. Falcone, as long as you’re my wife, you stand with me.”

I stare at him for several seconds.

Is this man completely missing the point?

“Lucien, forget about that for a second.”

I quickly pull myself out of his arms.

“The point is that your brother is planning to kill you.”

Lucien’s expression returns to normal.
“Then let him try.”

He releases me, his tone as cold as if we are discussing the weather.

“If he can’t kill me, he should worry about what happens to him.”

Lucien clearly doesn’t take Dante’s threat seriously.

That night, he even takes me to an exclusive charity gala in Manhattan.

New York’s political and business elite are gathered there, along with real estate tycoons and plenty

of people who maintain complicated relationships with the Falcone Family.

Lucien tells me that events like this are just as important to the Family’s legitimate businesses and future plans.

he moment we enter the ballroom, I feel countless eyes turn toward me.

Some are curious.

Some are assessing.

And quite a few are clearly anything but friendly.

Then suddenly, a familiar voice slips into my mind.

[Men really are all the same.]

[I knew I shouldn’t have brought her here.]

I freeze.

That is Lucien’s voice.

I turn to him in shock.

He still has the same expressionless face, as though nothing has happened.

This man…

He actually has inner thoughts too?

And that is what he is thinking?

Lucien notices me staring at him and looks down.

“What?”

The next second, I hear his voice again.

[So clueless.]

I completely freeze.

Wait.

Did I really just hear Lucien’s thoughts?
