Alexandro had just closed his eyes when Lucia's voice broke the morning silence. Her voice was still hoarse from just waking up, but her tone was sharp, piercing, like a newly sharpened knife.

"Where did you go? Were you selling bodies at the port?"

Alexandro opened his eyes. Lucia was already sitting up in bed, her hair disheveled, her eyes red, her face pale. Her hands gripped the edge of the blanket tightly.

"Lulu, it's still early. You should..."

  • Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride   Chapter 248

    Author's Pov.Alexandro had just closed his eyes when Lucia's voice broke the morning silence. Her voice was still hoarse from just waking up, but her tone was sharp, piercing, like a newly sharpened knife."Where did you go? Were you selling bodies at the port?"Alexandro opened his eyes. Lucia was already sitting up in bed, her hair disheveled, her eyes red, her face pale. Her hands gripped the edge of the blanket tightly."Lulu, it's still early. You should...""Don't change the subject! I'm asking you, where did you go? Why are you just getting home at this hour?"Alexandro sighed. He sat on the sofa, facing Lucia. They were still two meters apart."I had business.""What business? Business with dead bodies? Business at the port? Business with..."Lucia couldn't finish her sentence. Her eyes caught something on Alexandro's hand. A wound. A long scratch on the back of his right hand. Still fresh, still red, not yet dried."What's that?" she asked."What?""The wound on your hand!"

    The car drove away from the dead-end alley at a steady speed. Marco drove calmly, no longer in a hurry. Behind them, no cars were following. Those thugs were probably still busy tending to themselves, lying on the asphalt.Alexandro opened the window a crack. The cold night air came in, carrying the scent of soil and wet leaves. It might have just rained in this area. He looked at the dark sky, searching for stars. Not many were visible. Maybe they were covered by clouds, or maybe it was light pollution from the city still glowing even though it was late at night."Marco," he called."Yes, sir.""Do you remember the first time we met?"Marco was silent for a moment. "Twenty years ago, sir. I was still a teenager. You were too.""Your father worked for my father.""Yes, sir. My father was a driver, my mother a maid.""Now you're my right-hand man.""Because you trust me, sir.""I don't trust anyone, but you're different."Marco didn't answer, but at the corner of his lips, there was a

    Author's Pov.After Lucia fell asleep, hugging her pillow tightly, Alexandro opened his eyes. The nightlight was still dimly lit, enough to see his wife's peaceful face.He stared at Lucia for a while, her face beginning to fill out from pregnancy, her hair spread across the pillow, her hand gripping the edge of the blanket like a child afraid of losing something.Alexandro rose slowly, not wanting to wake Lucia. He took his black jacket from the back of the chair, then walked to the door carefully. Each step felt heavy, because he knew he had to leave tonight, but he also knew Lucia would be lonely if she woke up and didn't find him on the sofa."I'll be back soon."Outside, Marco was already waiting in the black car parked in the front yard. The engine was already running, the headlights already illuminating the dark street. Marco sat in the driver's seat with his usual blank face, but his eyes were alert."Sir," he greeted as Alexandro got into the back seat."Where are the bodies?

    Alexandro didn't answer my question. He just let out a long sigh, then walked to the desk and opened his laptop. The screen lit up. He started typing something, maybe an email, maybe a report, maybe something related to his dark business. I didn't know. What I did know was that he didn't want to discuss Marco, Davina, or Damien.I sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, my thoughts racing. Marco gay? Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe he was just traumatized by the past. Maybe he already had a secret lover. Maybe he wasn't interested in women because he was too busy protecting Alexandro. Or maybe I was just overthinking.My eyes shifted to the bedside table. Alexandro's phone lay there.Since getting married, I had never checked his phone. Not because I didn't trust him, but because I was afraid. Afraid of finding something that could destroy our marriage. But tonight, for some reason, my hand moved on its own. I took the phone, opened it, and it was unlocked.Alexandro never locked his phone.I o

    Day after day passed.Isabella stayed in the room at the end of the hallway, and I let her stay here but with one condition: she had to maintain cleanliness.I couldn't bear to kick her out, especially after seeing her empty eyes and hearing the story of her past. But I also couldn't let her continue behaving as she pleased, taking things without permission, entering rooms without knocking, leaving dirty dishes everywhere.I myself started my first semester break.My weight went up again. Five kilograms in two weeks.I was not destined to be thin, I thought. And that was okay.Today, Davina made Asian food for me. Noodle soup with spices from her country. The aroma was appetizing, something rare lately because the constant nausea wouldn't go away."This is chicken noodle soup, Madam. I added ginger and lemongrass to reduce nausea, and a little chili if Madam likes it spicy."I smelled the aroma. "It smells good."Davina smiled. "Please try it, Madam."I slurped the noodles, eating slo

    The bedroom door swung wide open without a knock. Isabella stood at the threshold, her hair still wet, probably just having showered. Her weary eyes looked at me, then at Alexandro who was still only wearing a towel around his waist, then back at me. No shame. No guilt for entering without permission. Just an empty stare that made me uneasy."Lucia, can you lend me your bag?"I sat up in bed, pulling the blanket to cover my body."Which bag, Mom?""The black leather bag. I like the style.""That's the only nice bag I have, Mom.""Just lend it to me. I'll return it later."I sighed. "Fine. Take it from the closet."Isabella walked to the closet. She opened the closet door, took the black leather bag, examined it briefly, then walked to the door. No "thank you." No "excuse me." No "sorry for disturbing." The door closed.Alexandro looked at me. I looked back at him."I understand why you asked that question," I said."Which question?""About my mother. You said she's a little mentally d

    The priest began to recite the prayer in a steady voice that echoed throughout the church. I stood still beside Alexandro, my hands feeling stiff as I held the bouquet. The scent of lilies was too strong, almost making me dizzy."We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Alexandro De Lu

    I showed him everything I had learned from Mira.I sat on his lap, both arms wrapped around his neck. My breath was slow, rhythmic, exactly as Mira taught. "Breathing is the key," she said before. "Proper breathing can make a man lose control."I whispered in his ear. "Where do you want me to start

    Three days since Mira came.Three days I learned, about touch, about sound, about movement, about how to make a man want you. And every night, I waited.Alexandro did not come home.Around ten at night, I heard a car in the driveway. My heart pounded wildly.I ran to the window. The black car was p

    At nine fifty, I was already sitting in the living room, my heart pounding. The simple house dress I was wearing didn't feel like enough. I twisted the hem of my clothes and waited.Right at ten o'clock, Mira arrived.Today she looked different. Still beautiful, still graceful, but her clothes were
