Twenty-four Hours Later, My Don Regreted Chapter 06

That day, the Collins family practically wrecked the entire church The Carters showed

side completely overpowered them.

Luca, his parents, and Chiara took the worst of the beating

Church staff dialed the police. When officers arrived, injured bodies littered the fox-every Fort Colling

relative was only faking their wounds.

I watched Luca and his folks sprawl on the ground, bruised and unable to stand. Tears streamed down my

face as I rushed straight toward the officers.

“Officers, you have to give us justice!” I pointed straight at Luca’s family.

“They tricked me into marriage. They dragged me to sign wedding papers yesterday morning, but last night

he brought his mistress and their illegitimate child to my ceremony.”

“I loved this man for seven years. I only just learned he’d hidden another woman the whole time, even

fathering a son with her.”

“They humiliated me relentlessly. They said I’d be worthless once Luca lost interest. They threatened to spread our private content online to shame me publicly. We erupted at the wedding-they left us no choice

My voice cracked with raw, genuine sobs. No one could blame me for breaking down after wasting seven

years on a vicious lie.

Luca covered his battered, swollen face and roared at me.

“Elena, you’re lying! Your whole family attacked us like lunatics, and I can see every single one of you faking

injuries.”

His words snapped my last thread of restraint. Still crying, I stormed over and slapped him hard across the

cheek.

“Lunatics? You dare call the Collins clan lunatics? My uncle Frank served forty years in the military and fought in Vietnam. My father funds Boston University scholarships, lifting countless students through

college.”

“Who do you think you are to belittle them, you shameless bastard?”

Blinded by rage, I kicked him square in the face once more. Officers dragged me back to stop a second

full-scale brawl from erupting.

The chaos drew massive attention. Every person from both families was hauled down to the police station for questioning.

Once officers heard the full story, they only mediated a truce between us.

This was exactly what I’d planned.

All I ever wanted was to teach Luca and the Carters a brutal lesson. If I aimed to destroy their entire bloodline, we would’ve brought guns instead of baseball bats

No police statements were scheduled for the next three days. The Carters left me entirely alone, and

savored the quiet reprieve.

On the third day, the Carters must’ve finalized their scheme. They sent Luca to my doorstep to negotiate

His usual arrogance vanished without a trace. He dropped to his knees, voice weak and pleading

“Elena, I know you hate me, but I never intended to deceive you. I grew to truly love you, even if curves you at first to please my mother.”

“I’m begging you to let this feud end. My mother and I have agreed to overlook every disaster at the wedding The Carter family will accept whatever choice you make-whether you stay wed or separate

I stared at his groveling frame and kicked him hard in the face.

“Get out of my sight. Your pathetic act revolts me. I can’t bear to hear you utter the word love ever again

Anger flared across Luca’s face. He stood and raised his hand to strike me.

My Collins lunged forward at once to block me off.

“Make one move.”

“You won’t get the chance to lay a finger on her.”
