**Chapter 417: Strangle Her**

“Earlier, Mom and Maxwell went to confront her as well,” Gianna began, her voice trembling with agitation. “But she didn’t even flinch. She told Mom she was sick and cursed her right to her face.”

“Please, don’t stay angry,” she pleaded, her tone shifting from desperation to determination. “Let me handle this. I know she only acts that way because of me. I should be the one to fix it. I’ll go apologize to her myself.”

As she spoke, her words became increasingly theatrical, her voice quivering as if she were on the verge of tears, the kind that glistened in the light like a stage performance. For a fleeting moment, Gianna almost convinced herself of the sincerity of her act.

But then, Marcelo finally turned his gaze toward her. His expression was as cold as a winter’s night, his voice sharp and unyielding.

“Are you finished?”

“Marcelo, I—”

Gianna’s words were abruptly cut short, frozen in her throat as his voice sliced through the air, chilling her to the bone. A shiver ran down her spine, an instinctive warning that something was dangerously amiss.

Before she could gather her thoughts or complete her sentence, his hand shot out, clamping around her throat with a force that left her breathless.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, panic surging through her as she clawed at his wrist, but his grip only tightened, unyielding as iron. She felt like a trapped bird, flapping desperately against a tempest that offered no escape.

“You lying snake,” Marcelo hissed, his voice a low growl, simmering with barely contained fury. “Did you really think I was joking last time?”

The anger that had been brewing inside him since leaving Amelia’s office now erupted like a volcano. His pride lay in ruins, and Gianna had walked straight into the inferno of his wrath.

Gasping for air, her face flushed crimson, she felt her hands tremble as she struggled to pry him off, but he remained unmoved.

Her lips went pale, and her entire body stiffened, a grotesque reflection of her terror.

It was only when her vision began to blur and her eyes rolled back that Marcelo finally released her.

Gianna crumpled to the floor, coughing violently, each spasm shaking her frame as she gulped down air as if she had just resurfaced from drowning. The sensation was overwhelming, almost nauseating.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with her disheveled hair that fell across her face in wild, tangled strands.

Marcelo loomed over her, his gaze as piercing as a dagger. The woman he had once perceived as kind and sweet now appeared grotesque and decayed in his eyes.

“Marcelo…” Gianna croaked, her voice cracking under the weight of fear. “What did I do? Why are you doing this to me?”

Even in this moment of desperation, she attempted to sound pitiful, her tone quivering as if she were the true victim in this twisted narrative. Years of practice in deception around the Nygards had honed her skills.

A cruel smile twisted Marcelo’s lips, a reflection of his disdain. “What you did wrong? That list is long.”

His voice dripped with contempt, the very thought of how fiercely he had once defended her making his stomach churn. He had chosen her over his own sister, blind to the truth that now lay bare before him.

Without uttering another word, he seized a fistful of her hair, yanking her up from the ground with brutal force.

Gianna screamed as pain shot through her scalp, only to be met with the harsh reality of her skull colliding with the wall—once, twice. The sound echoed in the office, a violent symphony of brutality.

Tears streamed down her face as genuine pain flooded her senses. This time, the tears were real, fueled by the raw fear that gripped her heart. She understood now that he might actually kill her. The mask she had worn for so long slipped away, revealing her true vulnerability.

“Please, Marcelo!” she cried, her voice hoarse and broken, desperation clawing at her throat. “I’m sorry! I swear I’ll never do it again! I won’t even come near you!”

Sobs wracked her body, the words tumbling out in a frantic rush between gasps. “Just this once! Please, let me go!”

Marcelo’s glare was icy, his expression dark and unyielding. Her face bore the marks of her tears, her makeup running down like black paint, a grotesque reflection of her despair.

She looked utterly pathetic.

The sight made him feel sick. How could he have ever thought her tears were beautiful? How could he have believed in her innocence?

He must have been out of his mind back then. Or perhaps she had truly ensnared him in her web of deceit.

“Get out!” he bellowed, his voice reverberating with authority and disgust.

His foot connected with her side, sending her sprawling backward, her body hitting the floor with a thud that echoed in the silent office. The sound of her fall was quickly followed by the sharp crack of the door slamming shut, a finality that left no room for negotiation.

Gianna lay there, sprawled on the unforgiving cold floor, every inch of her body aching as if her very bones had shattered.

Tears brimmed in her eyes once more, but this time, they were fueled not by heartbreak, but by a seething fury.

Marcelo. That bastard. How dare he treat me like this?

Something deep within her shattered completely. The softness, the hope, the false warmth she had clung to for so long evaporated like mist.

He would never forgive her, and she would never forgive him.

There was no turning back now.

Fine then. She would ensure he paid for this. She would make certain he vanished from this world, leaving no trace behind.

Regina had wanted his entire family gone from the very beginning. Gianna had been the sole barrier preventing that from happening.

And that was only because Marcelo had spoiled her, protected her, and given her everything she desired.

In the suffocating aftermath of Marcelo’s violent outburst, Gianna lay on the cold floor, a shattered reflection of the woman she once was. The warmth of her previous hope had dissipated, replaced by a chilling resolve that coursed through her veins. No longer the victim pleading for mercy, she felt a dark transformation take root within her, fueled by the betrayal and pain that Marcelo had inflicted. The realization that their bond had irrevocably fractured ignited a fire within her, one that promised vengeance rather than reconciliation. She understood now that the facade she had maintained was no longer tenable; the mask of innocence had fallen away, revealing the true depths of her ambition and her capacity for darkness.

As Gianna’s tears dried, replaced by a steely determination, she embraced the shadows that had long lingered in her heart. The betrayal had awakened a fierce instinct for survival, and she vowed to turn the tables on Marcelo, the very man who had once been her protector. The irony of her situation was not lost on her; she had been the architect of her own downfall, ensnared in a web of deceit she had spun herself. Now, with the weight of her new purpose pressing down on her, she resolved to dismantle the life he had built, ensuring that he would pay for his betrayal. In that moment of clarity, Gianna became a woman reborn, ready to embrace the darkness that destiny had thrust upon her.
