The car stopped in front of an old, unremarkable building. From the outside, it looked like an empty warehouse or a factory that was no longer operating. The walls were dull, the windows were tightly shut, and there were no signs or nameboards of any kind. But once that iron door opened, I knew this place was not ordinary.

We walked through a long hallway with concrete walls. Fluorescent lights flickered on the ceiling, illuminating a path that gradually sloped downward. We entered the basement

  • Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride   Chapter 490

    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

    Marco stood in front of Silvia's apartment door for several minutes, staring at the gift he had placed there. The white rose had completely wilted now, its petals beginning to dry and curl at the edges. He hoped Silvia would open the door, see the gift, and contact him, but he knew that hope was too great.He turned and walked toward his car. Marco started the engine and drove home, but he couldn't stop thinking about Silvia. Something was wrong. Something had happened, and he was determined to find out.The next morning, Marco woke up with renewed determination. He would not give up. He would go to the mansion, and if Silvia came to teach Leo, he would wait for her. He would talk to her, no matter what.He arrived at the mansion at eight in the morning, earlier than usual. He sat in Alexandro's study, but his mind couldn't focus on work. Every time he heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway, his heart pounded.At nine o'clock, Marco heard a voice he recognized. A soft voice that

    Marco smiled, then got ready. He couldn't wait to see Silvia's reaction when he gave her the gift.He showered quickly, put on a clean white shirt and a dark blue blazer that made his eyes look brighter. He sprayed on a little perfume, something he rarely did. Then, he took the gift and looked at it once more.Marco left earlier than he should have. He wanted to make sure he wasn't late, wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. He even stopped at a flower shop and bought a single white rose—not red, because red felt too excessive for someone like Silvia. White felt more sincere, more pure.He arrived in front of Silvia's apartment at half past six. He parked his car, then stared at the building. The light on the third floor was still off. Maybe Silvia was still getting ready.Marco waited.He waited until seven o'clock. The light was still off.He took out his phone and sent a message."I'm already outside. Are you ready?"No reply.Marco waited again. At half past seven, he bega

    After dropping Silvia off at home, Marco didn't immediately return to his own house. He drove his car without any clear destination, his mind drifting back to the evening he had just spent with Silvia.Silvia laughed, the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about her students, and how she seemed nervous yet still tried to be herself.Marco finally parked his car on the side of the road, then took out his phone. He pressed a number he had memorized by heart."Mr. Alexandro."The voice on the other end of the line was heavy, typical of someone who had just woken up."Marco? Do you know what time it is?""Sorry to bother you, but I need your advice.""Advice? About what?"Marco let out a long breath. "About a gift for a woman."The pause returned, this time longer. Then, Alexandro laughed. That laugh was rarely heard, and Marco knew he had awakened something interesting in his boss."A woman? Marco, you? I don't believe it.""This isn't a joke, Sir. I'm serious."Alexandro stopped laug

    "Good. I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven."Silvia nodded, still unable to believe what had just happened. Marco opened the car door for her, and Silvia got in with her heart pounding. The whole ride home, neither spoke. Silvia stared out the window, trying to calm her thoughts, while Marco focused on the road that was growing dark.The car finally stopped in front of a small apartment on the outskirts of the city. Silvia lived on the third floor, a simple unit with a balcony overlooking a small park. She opened the car door, then turned to Marco."Thanks for the ride," she said."You're welcome. See you tomorrow."Silvia nodded, then walked toward her apartment door. She didn't look back, but she could feel Marco's eyes following her until she disappeared inside the building.As soon as she entered her apartment, Silvia leaned her back against the door and let out a long breath. She covered her face with both hands, trying to make sense of what had just happened."Marco asked me to d
