Reborn as the Donna

Chiara Ricci wakes on the day of her rebirth inside the Caruso Estate, remembering a life in which she married Matteo Caruso and spent eight years unloved, blamed for a night he believed she had engineered. When a hurricane swallowed Liberty City, Matteo gave her the last seat on the evacuation boat and was dragged into the sea, and she was later hacked to death by a rival family.

Now she knows what Matteo never did: on the night he was drugged with Heartbane, his father, Don Raffaele Caruso, was poisoned too. Instead of rushing to Matteo, she sends for Lucia Gallo and descends into Raffaele's private basement domain, offering herself as his antidote and answering his suspicion with action rather than words.

Emerging the next afternoon, she meets Lucia's mockery and Matteo's cold warning to know her place. Then Matteo spots the bruise on her arm and demands to know who left it.
