Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride Chapter 494
Lucia looked at her three children who were waiting for an answer with sparkling eyes. Loris was still sitting on her lap, Leo and Aurora looked at her full of hope. Lucia felt her heart grow heavy. She didn't want to disappoint them, but she knew she had to be honest."Listen, Sweetheart. It's not because you won't help, it's not because I don't want to, but I can't."Loris frowned. "Why, Mom? You still can. You're still strong."Lucia shook her head. She reached for Loris's hand and held it tightly. "Loris, Sweetheart, I have a heart condition."The atmosphere suddenly went silent. Leo, who had been lying on the grass, immediately sat up straight. Aurora, who was still smiling slightly, now froze. Loris looked at his mother with widened eyes."What?" whispered Leo.Lucia looked at her three children one by one. "I've had a heart condition for quite a while. Your father knows. I never told you because I didn't want you to worry.""Mom!" cried Aurora, her eyes immediately glistening.

The night grew later. The guests began to leave one by one, leaving the garden slowly quiet. Marco and Silvia were still busy receiving the last congratulations from a few remaining guests.Lucia stepped out of the crowd. She walked slowly past the rows of chairs that were beginning to empty, past the tables full of dirty plates and half-full glasses.She wasn't heading to the mansion. She was heading to a corner of the garden far from the crowd, where an old wooden bench stood under a large maple tree. That place was her favorite spot since long ago. The place where she could be alone, think, or simply enjoy the silence.She sat on that bench, facing the sky. Lucia took a long breath, inhaling the cool night air, and let herself sink into memories.Her life had truly been full of ups and downs. She remembered her childhood full of uncertainty. She remembered how she had to struggle to earn her place in a harsh world.She remembered how she met Alexandro, the man who changed her life.

Lucia woke up earlier, put on a cream-colored house dress, and headed straight to the dining room with a long list in her hand. Alexandro, accustomed to quiet mornings, could only sigh at the sight of his wife already moving as fast as the wind."Ale, wake up! We have a lot to do!" Lucia called out while dragging her husband out of bed."Darling, it's only six o'clock. What has to be done?" Alexandro rubbed his eyes, half-conscious."The wedding! We have to prepare Marco and Silvia's wedding! There's no time to be lazy!" Lucia pushed Alexandro toward the bathroom. "Take a shower quickly. We're going to visit five caterers today, three decorators, and two makeup artists. I want this wedding to be perfect."Alexandro let out another sigh, but he didn't dare argue. He had learned that when Lucia had taken over a project, nothing could stop her, and Lucia had already considered Marco's wedding her personal project.Lucia was indeed the most enthusiastic. Since morning, she had been callin

The next day.The sun had just risen, its light piercing through the large windows of Alexandro's study. Alexandro stood in front of his desk, his hands holding a stack of documents for the new hospital project spread across the mahogany surface."This is unacceptable, Ale!" Lucia raised her voice, something she rarely did. "You approved this budget without consulting me? This hospital is my project too! My name is on the board of directors, or did you forget?"Alexandro let out a long breath. He had expected this morning to be heavy. Lucia was indeed at the peak of her anger, and he knew, once his wife was angry, there was no point in fighting back."Darling, I haven't forgotten you. I just thought...""Thought? You thought? You didn't think. You just made a decision on your own, as usual. You're always like that. Always feeling like you know best, always feeling like you're the most right."Alexandro opened his mouth to defend himself, but closed it again. He knew, from years of exp

Marco looked at Silvia with an expression that was hard to explain."Silvia, listen to me carefully. You are not a 'fat woman.' You are Silvia, who is beautiful."Silvia lowered her head, her lips trembling."Other people can say whatever they want. They can insult, they can judge, but they don't live in your body, they don't feel your heart, and they have no right to determine who you deserve to love or who deserves to love you. I chose you, not because I couldn't get anyone else, but because out of all the people I've ever known, only you made me feel like an ordinary human being. Not Marco Alessandro, the director who has to be perfect."Silvia lifted her face. Her tears were still flowing, but this time there was no fear in her eyes."You're right, I let other people determine my worth for too long. From now on, I will be the one who decides."Marco smiled. "That's what I wanted to hear."He stood up and extended his hand."Now, how about we eat? I haven't eaten since morning and

Marco fell silent. Gay? The word hung in the air, feeling foreign and ridiculous at the same time. He stared at Silvia, trying to process what he had just heard. His mind spun, trying to connect the scattered pieces of the puzzle."Gay? I'm not gay. I like you. I like a woman. I like you."Silvia shook her head, her tears falling again."That's what doesn't make sense. You're a handsome man, you're rich and you could get any woman you want. Why would you like me? I'm just a tutor. I'm not pretty, I'm fat, I'm a nobody."Marco felt his anger rising, not at Silvia, but at the situation, at whoever had planted doubt and fear in this woman's heart. He stepped forward, closing the distance between them. Gently, he took both of Silvia's cold hands and held them tightly."Listen to me, beauty is not measured by body size or social status. You are beautiful, you are beautiful when you teach Leo with such patience. You are beautiful when you smile. You are beautiful when you laugh. I like you
