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 89: The Man Who Pulled the Trigger
The tunnel fell silent, the kind that carried ghosts inside it and Marco looked away first and for some reason that alone told Isabella that she was about to hear the worst response that had been revealed since this night started.The emergency lights overhead caused their shadows to stretch long against the concrete walls while dust drifted lazily through the stale underground air, and somewhere far above them thunder rolled faintly through the city.Lorenzo waited, still bleeding and still standing motionless beneath the dying red light but now Isabella noticed something frightening under all the control holding him togetherFear. Not even for death but for the truth.Marco dragged a slow breath into his lungs before finally speaking.“Your father found names connected to the trafficking routes and they were powerful names,” Marco continued quietly. “Men tied to politicians, ports and private medical facilities. Some outside the organization while the others were inside it.”The t

Chapter: Chapter 88: What Dante Tried to Bury
Nobody moved after Marco’s confession. As the silence that followed, buried them as the emergency lights that had begun to flicker weakly now casted long shadows across their exhausted faces and somewhere deeper underground, water dripped through unseen pipes, each sound echoing unnaturally loud in the stillness.Matteo slept quietly against Isabella’s chest, his tiny fingers still twisted tightly into her shirt.Lorenzo now stood motionless, several feet away from Marco, watching him under the dim lights. There was blood drying along his knuckles now. Blood soaking through the shoulder of his shirt, marking the man who now looked more dangerous standing perfectly still than he ever had in violence.Marco saw it too and was beginning to feel more uneasy around him, he exhaled slowly before leaning back against the cold tunnel wall.“It all started years ago, when your father discovered that money was disappearing through shipping routes connected to the ports,” he said quietly.

Chapter: Chapter 87: The Woman in the Walls
The tunnel had become too quiet, not peaceful, quiet. The kind of quietness that pressed against skin and settled heavily inside the chest, making every breath feel louder than it should. The dim emergency lights cast long shadows against the underground walls while dust drifted slowly through the stale air like ghosts refusing to settle. Nobody trusted anyone anymore not after the all these truths that had surfaced and after Lorenzo learned his entire life might have been built on a lie. Isabella sat on the floor against the cold wall with Matteo now asleep against her chest, as she let one trembling hand moving slowly through his dark hair. The child had cried himself into exhaustion sometime during the last hour and even in his sleep he still clung tightly to her shirt as though he was afraid she might disappear if he let go. That alone nearly broke her and accross the tunnel, Lorenzo stood alone beneath the flickering red light. Watching. Thinking. Bleeding. His shoulder woun

Chapter: Chapter 86: Blood Is Not the Same as Family
The world stopped… like literally stopped. The air inside the tunnel seemed to vanish completely as Marco’s words settled into the darkness with devastating precision.…is the same man who signed your adoption papers.Nobody moved or attempted to even breathe, even the distant mechanical hum that echoed loudly through the underground structure suddenly felt impossibly far away.Lorenzo stared at Marco without blinking, the sentence refused to process at first because it made no sense. None of it.Adoption.That word alone sounded absurd attached to his life, to his name and to the empire he had inherited through blood and power. No.That’s kmpossible and yet, the moment the thought formed, something deep inside him violently. Fragments of memories and conversations that suddenly sounded different and the way his father avoided certain questions when Lorenzo was younger.Even in the way the older members of the organization sometimes looked at him strangely during his early years, the

Chapter: Chapter 85: Darkness Makes People Honest
Darkness swallowed the tunnel whole, nobody moved for several seconds and nobody spoke. The metallic slam of the containment doors still echoed faintly through the underground structure, revebrating through stone and bone alike until silence finally settled over everything like a burial cloth.Then came the sharp and uneven breathing with too many dangerous people were trapped inside one confined space with loaded weapons, buried history, and enough betrayal between them to start a war.Lorenzo stood perfectly still in the dark.His son remained held tightly behind him as he let one of his large hands cover the back of the boy’s head protectively while his other hand maintained a steady grip on the gun now lowered at his side.His shoulder burned violently now as warm blood continued sliding beneath his shirt in slow steady lines, but the pain barely registered anymore, that entire arm had almost gone numbBut it was not compared to everything else, the lies and the realization that n

Chapter: Chapter 84: The Devil They Buried
Everything exploded at once as more gunshots ripped violently through the tunnel, deafening the inside of the confined space as one of Moretti’s men collapsed instantly against the stone wall, blood spraying across the dim amber light. For half a second, nobody understood where the shot had come from, then another bullet tore through the darkness and the second guard dropped. “Take cover!” Moretti’s men moved fast, their weapons snapping upward as they spread through the tunnel with trained precision, shoving into defensive positions while searching frantically for the shooter hidden somewhere deeper within the underground passage. The children cried out and Isabella ducked toward the wall on instinct, heart slamming wildly against her ribs as Marco moved in front of her without hesitation, shielding her and the children with his body. Lorenzo reacted even faster, he dropped his son and shoved him behind him as he raised his gun with his good hand toward the darkness ahead, his i
