"Yes, you're old, Ale. You're 40 years old. I'm 23. The difference between us is 17 years," I said.

"17 years is nothing."

"Nothing to you, but to me, that's an entire generation. You were in high school when I was born. You were in college when I was still learning to talk. You were starting your dark business when I was still learning to read."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"What does it have to do with anything? I don't know." I wiped my tears, still wet on my cheeks. "Maybe not

  • Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride   Chapter 488

    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

    Alexandro approached Marco. "Find a private tutor for the next few weeks for Leo."Marco raised an eyebrow. "A tutor? What for?""Leo will be suspended but I don't want him to fall behind on his lessons. Besides, I want him to keep studying even at home. Find someone competent, someone who can teach him various subjects.""Alright, I'll take care of it tomorrow."Marco then walked to his office on the second floor. He sat in his work chair, opened his laptop, and started searching for suitable private tutor candidates.He sent several emails, contacted education agencies, and within an hour, he already had a list of names to interview tomorrow.The next morning, Marco was already sitting in the small meeting room on the first floor of the De Luca mansion. The wooden table in front of him was covered with application files, CVs, and recommendation letters. He wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his hair neatly combed, and his eyes focused on every detail.One b

    Lucia shut her mouth, though her eyes still held protest.The principal tried to mediate."Mr. De Luca, I appreciate that you want to protect your family. But this school has rules. Leo must face consequences. He will be suspended for three days.""Fine," Alexandro said without hesitation. "Is there anything else?"The principal looked at him, then at Lucia who was still standing with a tense face."No, Sir. We will contact you for the hospital bill details."Alexandro nodded, then turned to Leo. "Come on, let's go home."Leo stood up, looked at his mother with eyes asking for understanding, then followed his father out of the room.In the car, Alexandro drove with his gaze straight ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. Lucia sat in the passenger seat, her body rigid, and Leo sat in the back, his eyes staring out the window."Mommy still mad?" Leo asked.Lucia turned. "I'm not mad, Leo. I'm just confused.""Confused about what?""Because what you did was wrong, but you
