Chapter 3
I had known for a long time that my parents always favored my older sister, Serafina.
Ever since we were kids, she would fake being sick just to get their attention.
Back then, she would act all weak and fragile, and I was too young to see through her act.
Now, looking at my whole family standing in front of me, I said coldly, “Mom, Dad, why do you think I’m not good enough? What do you even mean by ‘it’s for my own good“? When she said he was her boyfriend, you believed her. Now that he’s mine, you want me to dump him?
“Ever since I was little, you’ve always acted like I should give everything up for her. If you were gonna be this unfair, you might as well have not had me at all.”
Serafina sniffled and tried to play innocent. “Alessia, you can criticize me, but why are you being like this to Mom and Dad?”
My parents jumped in with their usual “concerned” voices. “When has your sister ever lied to you?
“We’re your family. We’d never hurt you.
“She’s doing this for your own good. That guy belongs with your sister. So, you need to break up with him.”
Same lines, repeated over and over. Like a broken record.

Serafina clearly was not getting anywhere with me, so she turned to our parents to pressure me.
Yet, I stood firm. “I’m not breaking up with him. Who I date is my choice. You don’t get to decide that.”
When she realized I was not backing down, Serafina changed her face again, going back to that fake soft act.
Meanwhile, I ignored her and just kept typing on my phone.
Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees right in front of me, crying like her whole world was ending.
“Alessia, I know I said some hurtful stuff this morning, but please don’t be mad. I’m only doing this for you. I’m sorry, okay?”
Right away, our parents rushed over to help her up like she was made of glass.
Serafina wiped her tears like she were going through the worst thing in the world.
“Alessia, I swear I’m not lying. Enzo’s a total player. He used me–lied to me, got what he wanted–and now he’s doing the same to you.
“All those fancy cars and the huge house? Rented. It’s all fake–he’s just trying to scam naive girls like you.
“I mean, fine, I got fooled, but you’re my sister. I can’t just watch you fall for the same trap. Please, trust me and break up with him before it’s too late.”
Yup, same lines she used in my last life. Word for word.
In my last life, I actually thought she was looking out for me. I never

imagined it was all just jealousy dressed up as concern.
I said calmly, “Sera, I can decide for myself if Enzo’s lying to me.”
She started crying harder. “Alessia, we literally grew up together. I’ve always put you first, and now you’re choosing some guy over your own sister?”
She was good–so good that her tears even looked real.
When I did not say anything, she pushed harder. “Fine. I didn’t want to do this, but I have proof.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Then show me. I’m not gonna believe anything unless I see real evidence.”
She pulled out her phone and opened up her photo gallery.
There were tons of pictures of her and Enzo.
In those pictures, they were hugging, holding hands, and even kissing.
Then, there was also some very intimate stuff.
I turned away, disgusted.
“That just proves you two were a thing. Doesn’t mean he’s still your boyfriend.”
I dragged out my words a bit on purpose.
She didn’t expect me to say that and looked totally thrown off.
Then, my dad jumped in, all serious. “Even if he’s not with your sister now, a guy who lost a girl as amazing as her clearly isn’t trustworthy. He’s no good. You’re breaking up with him today. That’s final.”

My mom shot me a glare and snapped, “We’re doing this for your own good. Don’t be so ungrateful. Your dad’s right. It’s time we dealt with this.”
Seeing that I was not backing down, my dad suddenly raised his hand to slap me.
“I don’t have a daughter like you!” He growled.
However, before his hand could land, someone grabbed his wrist mid-
air.
“Sorry, I’m late, Mom and Dad–in–law.”
It was Enzo. He caught my dad’s arm and pulled me behind him to protect me.
My dad stared at him furiously.
“Who are you? How did you even get in here?”
I smiled at Serafina and casually wrapped my arm around Enzo.
“Oh, right. I forgot to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Enzo Gallo.”
Actually, I had planned everything. I left the front door unlocked for him on purpose.
Without a word, Enzo reached over and snatched Serafina’s phone right out of her hand.
She looked like she was about to faint, reaching out dramatically to grab it back.
“Enzo! Why are you here?”

Enzo and I stood side by side, both smirking.
“Sera,” I said sweetly, “thanks a lot. Now we don’t have to worry about finding evidence.”
Serafina stared at me like I had just grown two heads. “Alessia, what are you talking about?”
I held up the phone and waved it in front of her.
“You do know it’s illegal to fake videos and spread lies, right?”
In my past life, Serafina used the same trick to drive Enzo and me apart.
Not this time. Now, all we had to do was hand her phone over to the police.
My parents did not really get what was happening. They just saw me snatch Serafina’s phone and instantly jumped in to scold me again.
“Why are you taking your sister’s phone? Give it back right now!”
Enzo looked totally confused but still calm.
“Sir, Ma’am, Alessia, and I truly love each other. She’s your daughter, too–you can’t just take one person’s side without hearing both of us out.”
Serafina suddenly lunged at me, trying to grab the phone back, but Enzo blocked her.
She practically threw herself at him, crying and yelling, “Enzo! I love you so much! How could you do this to me?”
He took a step back to avoid her.

“Sorry, I don’t even know you like that. Please don’t touch me.”
Serafina was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
“You said you loved my coffee! That you’d drink it for the rest of your life! Have you forgotten everything?”
Then she turned to me, full drama mode. “Alessia, if he can betray me today, he’ll betray you tomorrow!”
Enzo, who was usually super chill, finally had enough.
“I don’t even know you. There’s no ‘rest of our lives.‘ The only one I’ve ever wanted to be with is my wife Alessia.”
When Serafina heard the word wife, she froze. Even my parents looked stunned.
“Yep,” I said, cool as ever, “we’re married.”
Then I pulled out our marriage certificate from my bag and slapped it right onto the table.
