The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride.

The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride.

“Bring my wife to me.” The words echoed through the hallway. Five years ago, Isabella Romano died. Or… so the world believes. She had been forced into a cold, loveless marriage with the ruthless mafia king, Lorenzo De Luca where Isabella was nothing more than a pawn in a dangerous game of power. But on the night she uncovered a secret that could destroy his empire, she became a target. So she did the only thing she could to survive. Disappear. Now living under a new identity as Elena Rossi, Isabella has built a quiet life far away from blood, betrayal… and the man she once called husband. But when a high-profile art restoration job leads her straight into Lorenzo’s world again, everything she once buried comes crashing back because Lorenzo never forgets and he never forgives. The moment he sees her, one truth becomes clear, his estranged bride was still alive and this time, he’s was never letting her go. Now dragged back into a world she barely escaped, Isabella must hide the one secret that could destroy everything; she didn’t leave alone, she had left with his son. But as enemies close in and buried truths begin to surface, one question threatens to tear them apart: Did Isabella run to betray him… Or to save his life? Because in a world ruled by power and blood, love is dangerous and secrets are deadly.

Chapter: Chapter 132: Eyes in the Dark
By morning, the villa had taken on a completely new face. There were new cameras everywhere on the outer wall in places that hadn't held cameras the day before, they were mounted at sharper angles that previously held blind spots nobody saw angles until last night. Two additional guards were stationed on the perimeter as they walked in slow, overlapping steps instead of one. The main gate, which had once opened for family cars without as much as a glance from the men stationed there, now required a code, radio call, and visual confirmation from two separate posts before it was allowed to move an inch.Lorenzo stood at the study window with an untouched cup of coffee as he watched the tree line where the figure had vanished the night before over and over again. It remained green and still exactly the way it always had been and the sight of it alone made the back of his neck prickle.Marco entered without knocking, he was clutching an ipad in one hand while dark circles carved deep u

Chapter: Chapter 131: Priority One
At the top of the folder was titled, Priority One and without wasting further time, Lorenzo opened the file. Inside it was a single sheet of paper that had a photograph clipped to it's corner. A name typed beneath it in plain black ink.Marco read it over his shoulder and went very still."That's not possible.""It is," Sofia said quietly.Lorenzo said nothing at all because the man in the photograph wasn't a stranger or one of the men who had walked into the tunnels expecting Lorenzo not to walk out alive. He wasn't hired muscle or a rival executive circling for scraps. This one was Dante's man.Lorenzo could still remember him standing at his father's shoulder in a dozen boardrooms, the way his voice explained logistics contracts during their business dinners like family business still echoed in his head. His father had trusted him with numbers most executives never saw."He's been feeding information to Moretti for past seven years," Sofia said. "There were wire transfers routed t

Chapter: Chapter 130: The First Name
"Now."Thar single word seemed lingered deep and hard in the room, as it hung between the three of them like the beginning of a war waiting for the “open fire" signal.Marco was the first to move. He walked to the study door and shut the door, turning the lock with a quiet click before pulling the curtains of the windows overlooking the garden. Outside, the glimmering sunlight still bathed the family villa, as Matteo's happy giggles drifted faintly through the glass. Marco allowed himself to listen to the sound for a little moment, letting the sound reminding him of the every reason none of them could afford to fail. When he turned back, the warmth from the dining room was gone, its atmosphere shifting to that of a command room.Lorenzo remained standing behind the desk, as he let his eyes rest on Adrian Moretti's photograph. The expression in his face was calm but Sofia recognized the look immediately. She had seen it years ago, a couple of times inside boardrooms where billion-dol

Chapter: Chapter 129: The Men Beneath the Ashes
The study fell into complete silence as Lorenzo continued staring at the forged signature as though he was willing the paper itself to suddenly reveal the hand that had written it. The elegant curves, the deliberate pressure of the pen, even the slight flourish beneath the final letter were identical to his own.It was perfect, painfully so. He lowered the document onto the desk with extraordinary care.Then, without looking up, he asked a single question."Who did this?"he asked, the calmness in his voice unsettling Marco far more than when Lorenzo had shouted."I want names."Marco stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Sofia."And you'll have them, just relax."Sofia reached for the laptop resting beside the folders and turned it toward them, the screen illuminated the dimly lit study, she clicked on it and a photograph appeared.A man in an expensive charcoal suit was climbing out of a black sedan, surrounded by security personnel as he entered a private building through a rear entran

Chapter: Chapter 128: Beneath the Ashes
The warmth that had filled the dining room moments earlier vanished with that single sentence."…someone has been destroying your empire."No one spoke.Lorenzo's eyes remained fixed on Sofia, as he searched her face for even the tiniest hint that she might be exaggerating or perhaps the long months of isolation had sharpened her suspicions more than the facts deserved. Instead, he found something far more unsettling.The certainty of all of it was etched strongly on her face. She held his gaze without blinking, and that alone told him all that he needed to know. Sofia had never been a woman who spoke carelessly. If she had chosen those words, then she must also have chosen them after exhausting every possibility that they might be wrong.Around the table, the easy laughter that Matteo had inspired only moments before faded into an uneasy silence.Marco was the first to notice the subtle change in Lorenzo's expression.His smile had disappeared and was now replaced by the calm, unread

Chapter: Chapter 127: The Door Finally Opened
Lorenzo was the first to recover from the shock. But for several long seconds he had simply stood where he was, unable to reconcile the woman kneeling in the garden with the memory he had carried ever since the tunnel collapsed. He had accepted the possibility that he would never see her again so he buried that thought beneath everything else he needed to survive.Now she was here; alive and breathing, laughing heartily just as he last remembered.Matteo was still wrapped around her neck, happily keeping her up-to-date on every important event she had supposedly missed."...and Bruno scared Uncle Marco last week.""No, that's not true. It did not." Marco called, rubbing his temple."You jumped.""I did that to avoid stepping on it.""It was one dinosaur.""An unexpected dinosaur.""I leave for a few months and this is what happens to all of you?" Sofia asked, laughing so hard, she had to wipe fresh tears from her eyes."Ohhh… you should have seen Uncle Marco's face." He continued wit
