Author's Pov.

At the abandoned school project site, Alexandro stood in the middle of the crowd of workers who had resumed construction. The yellow police tape was still strung around the perimeter, but the workers didn't care. They had received assurance from Marco that their wages would be paid in full. They returned to work with enthusiasm, ignoring the warnings from security officers who occasionally passed by.

Alexandro watched the construction process from a distance. His hands were in his

  • Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride   Chapter 288

    Lucia's Pov.After dinner, I decided to go for a swim. The swimming pool that had been built especially for me had been finished a few months ago. The water was warm, always kept at a comfortable temperature for me, who was heavily pregnant.I glided slowly through the water, feeling my heavy body become light, feeling the babies in my belly move calmly.Alexandro came with a cup of hot chocolate in his hand. He sat at the edge of the pool, placed the cup beside him, and looked at me with a faint smile."Are you enjoying it?""Very much. I love warm water. My body feels light.""Good. You need to relax a lot."I swam to the edge of the pool, looking at Alexandro. "Ale.""What.""I have to take a leave next semester, right?"Alexandro nodded. "Yes. You're almost due. You can't attend classes with a belly this big.""I know. I'll take a leave.""Good. I've already spoken to the dean. They approved."I smiled. "Thank you, Ale.""Don't thank me. It's for your own good."I was silent for a

    Lucia's Pov.A few months later. My belly had grown very big. Both babies inside me kept moving, kicking, rolling, as if they were training for a marathon.I could no longer see my own feet. If I stood in front of the mirror, all I saw was a walking mountain. The scale in the bathroom showed 110 kilograms. I closed my eyes every time I weighed myself, but that number still lingered in my head.But the good news was, Matteo Bianchi was no longer heard from. After his hideout was found empty, after Damien saved my mother, after Alexandro upgraded all security to a higher level, Matteo disappeared like smoke. No threats. No mysterious phone calls. No fake nurses taking my blood. Life felt calmer.Alexandro had just returned from a five day business trip. I missed him so much. I almost cried every night because no one was there to hold me in bed. Now he was here, standing at the bedroom door, in his still neat black suit, his hair a little messy from the trip, and a faint smile on his lip

    Author's Pov.After dropping Isabella back at the mansion and making sure Lucia was calm, Alexandro left with the police team to Matteo's hideout location revealed by Damien.Black cars sped through the darkness of the night. Spotlights blazed brightly, illuminating the increasingly deserted streets. Alexandro sat in the back seat, his eyes straight ahead, his face flat, but his mind was racing. This was the best chance to catch Matteo and end the terror that had been lurking over his family.However, as soon as they arrived at the location, everything had changed. The iron door was wide open. The basement that had once been damp and dark was now empty. No trace of Matteo or his men. Even the pungent smell of cigarettes and earth had vanished, as if no one had ever been there.Alexandro walked in, looking around the silent room."Empty," he said in a low voice.A senior police officer approached."We've checked the entire area, sir. No valuables. No documents. No fingerprints we could

    Author's Pov.Elsewhere, Isabella woke up because something hard hit her back. A small rock. She blinked, trying to open her eyes that were still heavy from exhaustion and crying.She turned her head. A man with his face covered by a black mask stood beside the iron door. Only his eyes were visible. Sharp blue eyes, which weren't unfamiliar to her.The man moved his hand, signaling for her to be quiet, then carefully, he opened the iron door.The man walked closer, then crouched in front of her. He removed the mask from his face. Isabella was shocked. Her eyes widened."Damien?!""Yes, it's me," he whispered. "Now be quiet. Follow me."Isabella was still confused. "How did you...""I'll explain later. Now, get on my back. Hurry. Before they realize you're gone."Isabella didn't ask any more questions. She crawled onto Damien's back, wrapping her still bound hands around the man's neck. Damien stood up with difficulty. Isabella was indeed thin, but her weight still felt heavy on his ti

    Author's Pov.A week later, Lucia came home from the hospital. Her condition had stabilized, her babies were healthy, and her doctor allowed her to rest at home as long as she didn't engage in heavy activity. Alexandro picked her up himself, without Marco, without Gianna. Just him and Lucia. In the car, he held his wife's hand tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go."Are you fully recovered?" Alexandro asked."I'm fine, Ale. The doctor said I just need complete rest.""You will have complete rest. No going out. No stress. No...""Ale, I just got out of the hospital. Don't make me want to go back."Alexandro smiled faintly. "Okay."They arrived at the mansion. Davina was already waiting at the front door with an anxious face. As soon as she saw Lucia get out of the car, she immediately approached."Is Madam alright?" she asked in a worried voice."I'm fine. Just need to rest.""Good, Madam. I've prepared the room. I also cooked your favorite chicken soup.""Thank you."

His hands were in his pockets, his face flat, but his mind was in chaos. Isabella was missing. Lucia was in the hospital. Davian kept pressing, and Matteo was still out there somewhere."Sir," Marco called from behind."What?""A call from an unknown number."Alexandro blinked. He took the phone from Marco's hand. The screen displayed a string of numbers he didn't recognize."Alexandro De Luca," he said."Ah, finally you answered the phone."Alexandro was silent. That voice. The voice he had never forgotten. The voi

    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

    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
