“You foolish woman, what are you saying? How can you want him; he
hasn’t a penny to his name?”
To this she couldn't speak a word. There were a lot of things she wanted to
say and express, but none of those came out of her mouth. She has a big respect
towards his siblings and had always followed everything they say. She remained
silent which led to her brothers deciding whom she was to marry.
A duke from the neighboring country happened to use a route passing by
the countryside where Monna lives. He spotted her strolling near the river from his
carriage and immediately took a liking to her, which led him to give an order
saying that he will marry that woman and make her his concubine.
The news was spread throughout the whole town and Monna became the
center of people's gossips. Federigo, who was still in love with the woman in the
news, came up with a plan to free her from the duke's grasp.
The wedding was planned immediately after Monna's brothers agreed,
who were bought by the duke by giving them treasures just to make sure that the
widow will marry him.

The night before the wedding, Federigo sneaked inside the duke's quarters
and using an axe, he hacked him dead without thinking of the consequences,
but before he could escape, Monna went inside the quarters as well and
witnessed how Federigo murdered the duke
In a blood-soaked state, Federigo tried to explain, saying that he did it to
help Monna and as his repentance for letting her child die. Monna on the other
hand, was too dumbfounded to process everything he said. The woman let out a
deafening scream that alarmed the guards and led to Federigo's capture.

Federigo was punished by death for killing a neighboring country's duke while
Monna suffered trauma and chose to end her life by hanging herself on a branch
of tree a week after.

After Federigo and Monna's wedding, they lived happily together and had
a kid after half a year. Their family was so perfect and almost everyone admired
them because of their backstories.
Years passed and their child, whose name was Reginna, grew up into a fine
young lady. Reginna, just like her mother, was considered to be one of the most
beautiful ladies in Florence, and gained a lot of pursuers who wanted to earn her
love.

She was a sheltered young lady but knows very well how to interact with
people without being prejudiced. Federigo and Monna taught her great manners
and treated her like a princess for they love their daughter so much.
Andrius, the youngest among Monna's elder brothers, took an interest in his own
niece in the most disturbing way. He stalked his own niece and drove away some
of her suitors. He even had tons of portraits of Reginna inside one of his house's
rooms and sometimes acts intimate towards her.

One day while taking a dip alone in a lake, Reginna felt some chills down
her spine, having a weird feeling as if she was being stared at. She got creeped
out and chose to get out of the water and wear her clothes, but the gown she
placed on the dry leaves was missing.
Reginna was really worried and scared, sprinting back in the forest to head
back to their mansion, but his Uncle Andrius blocked her way.
“Where are you going, Reginna?" He asked which gave the 16-year-old girl
goosebumps. Slowly, he walked towards her with a smile creeping on the corner
of his lips. He held her arms tightly and pushed her down the ground, forcing
himself onto the poor girl. Reginna weeped and tried to resist but Andrius was too
strong for her. She screamed for help but no one was able to hear her.

Reginna continued crying as she endured the pain and the disgust she was
feeling. She felt really dirty that she wanted to puke. How could her own uncle do
that to her? She called for her mom and dad, she called the names of everyone
she knew, but no one came to rescue her.
Andrius left Reginna, who fainted from fear, inside that forest as if nothing
happened.
 Night came and Monna was getting restless because her daughter was not
home yet. Federigo led their servants to search for Reginna. Monna's brothers,
Andrius too, helped in searching for her.
After about an hour, one of the farmers working for their family came
rushing back with a news about Reginna.
"Lady Monna! Young Lady Reginna is... she is found dead in the lake!"
Adrenaline rush ran through Monna's veins and immediately went to the
lake the farmer was talking about. Federigo was already there, hugging the body
of their dead daughter. Tears automatically rushed down on Monna's cheeks as
she eyed her daughter's cold body.

Wha- why.... Why, Reginna? Why?" She shed tears as she kneeled down to
cup her daughter's face. Federigo hugged his wife as they both cried in pain of
their loss. Their servants were also crying for Reginna's death.
Hours before, Reginna awoke feeling an extreme pain in her lower half.
Remembering what happened to her, Reginna felt disgusted of herself. She saved
up all her strength to go back to the lake she was taking a bath in earlier.
She's a dirty woman. A disgusting woman who got molested by her own
uncle. That was what she thought.
Tears came streaming down her face as she let herself be drowned in that
very lake, ready to face her end.

"Reginna!" Every single one of them, her parents, their servants, her uncles
and Andrius too, all weeped because of her death. But this death of her only set
the criminal free, making a way for him to get away with his unforgivable crime
The crime called rape.
