His Hidden Wife Was a Mafia Heiress Chapter 7
Three months later, my father finally agreed to let me move out of the main estate.He refused at first. Then I sat in his study all afternoon with Mia in my arms. In the end, he lost to one sleepy yawn from his granddaughter. He signed the approval with a grim face and assigned two extra security teams before I could even thank him.I chose a place by the lake again, but it wasn't the old cabin. This one stood close to the Castellano estate, with a hill behind it, water in front, and a row of silver maples along the road.I had a new wooden house built, put up a white fence, and filled the yard with tomatoes, mint, and sunflowers. Every few days, my father sent another truckload of things - formula, baby clothes, bulletproof glass, a new security system - as if he intended to move the whole estate into my little house piece by piece.I laughed at the absurdity and accepted it anyway.In the mornings, birds woke Mia before they woke me. I would hold her and open the window, watching mi

A month later, my body had recovered enough for me to walk downstairs.My father had a small greenhouse built behind the estate. Inside were tomato plants, basil, and strawberries."You like growing things, don't you?" he said from the doorway, sounding as awkward as only a feared mafia chairman could sound when trying to be gentle. "Grow whatever you want. If this isn't enough space, I'll tear up the lawn."I looked at the soft turned soil and started to laugh. Then the laughter broke, and tears slipped down my face.My father immediately frowned. "You don't like it? I'll have it demolished and rebuilt.""No." I wiped my cheeks. "I love it."I meant it.I had never truly wanted a throne, a crown, or a room full of men lowering their heads. I had wanted a light waiting for me when I came home, a patch of earth where I could plant something without fear, and a place where I didn't have to shrink myself just to be allowed to exist.Luca didn't give up.When he couldn't see me, he wrote l

By the time we returned to the Castellano estate, night had fallen.When I left three years ago, I thought the estate was a gilded cage. Now, as the car rolled through the iron gates and I saw lights glowing in the windows of the main house, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time.I was home.My father didn't scold me. He stood outside the glass wall of the medical center and watched the tiny baby inside the incubator for a very long time, his eyes red."What's her name?" he asked.I looked through the glass at my daughter's clenched fist. "Mia. Mia Castellano."My father nodded, his voice rough. "Good. She carries our name."The doctors said Mia had survived because treatment had started in time. She still needed to stay under observation, but the worst had passed. As for me, the drugs, the blood loss, and the emergency C-section had wrecked my body. Recovery would be long. Another pregnancy in the future might be difficult.My father heard that, smashed a glass on the spot, an

The chapel went dead silent.Bianca's bouquet trembled in her hands and Luca went pale where he stood.Then I appeared behind my father, seated in a wheelchair and pushed by his private physician.I wore a black velvet gown with a white fur stole over my shoulders. The crown everyone had gossiped about for three days, the Castellano Star, rested in my hair. Under the chapel lights, the diamonds glittered like cold snow.The ring box slipped from Luca's hand and hit the floor. The sound was small, but everyone heard it."Aria?"I stopped in front of him and looked at him calmly. "Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Moretti."Bianca ripped up her veil. "Are you insane? You dare pretend to be a Castellano and crash my wedding?"My father's chief guard stepped forward. "Open your eyes. The Castellano crest, the Chairman's personal guard, the family crown. None of them can be faked. The woman in front of you is Aria Castellano, the Chairman's only daughter."The entire chapel erupted in wh

The safe house was silent after he left.Pain tore from my belly into my lower back until breathing felt like work. Warm blood slid down my thighs. I leaned against the wall and dragged myself inch by inch toward the bookcase, my trembling fingers finding the worn cover of an old cookbook.Hidden inside the cover was the emergency beacon I had smuggled out when I left home. My father had told me that if I ever pressed it, the Castellanos would find me.Back then, I had called him controlling. Now I understood that not every cage was made to trap you. Some were built by people who knew the world had teeth.I pressed the button. A red light blinked three times in my palm.A few minutes later, the lock clicked.For one wild second, I thought Luca had sent a doctor. Then Bianca Voss walked in with two female guards behind her. She wore a white custom gown that skimmed over her swollen belly, and on her wrist gleamed an obsidian bracelet.It was Luca's mother's bracelet, the one left for th

That evening, Luca came back with a thermal container of pumpkin soup. He sat across from me as if nothing had happened that day and placed the spoon in my hand. “Eat something. The baby needs it.”I drank two mouthfuls. The soup was warm, but everything inside me was turning cold. "When did you and Bianca start?"Luca's fingers tightened around his glass. “The night of your birthday,” he said. “I was drunk after the Voss party. Bianca said we spent the night together. A few weeks later, she told me she was pregnant.”Nine months ago, on my birthday, he had disappeared. I searched the lake road, the town, the gas stations, and every back road until dawn. The next morning, he came home exhausted and said he had driven into a blizzard to get my present and lost his way.He pulled a little silver music box from inside his coat. On the lid, he had engraved, [For my Aria, and all the mornings we haven't had yet.]I had been awake all night, terrified and angry, but that gift melted me befor
