THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 13: REBUILDING
One week after the fire.The De Luca mansion was noisy for the first time in five years. Not because of a party, but because of construction.I was standing in the burnt garden, wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, hair tied up, no makeup, holding a blueprint. Beside me was Alessandro, also in white shirt and jeans, sleeves up, hands still bandaged from the burns last week, holding coffee for both of us."Elena, dito ba? Mas malaki?" He pointed at the center."Hindi, mas malayo ng konti yung marble stone. Para mas maraming roses sa paligid," I said, marking the blueprint.For one week, we didn't talk about Mafia, about casinos, about revenge. We only talked about Matteo's garden."Boss, Madam E, yung white roses from France dumating na," sabi ni Marco, carrying a box."France? Bakit France?" I asked.Alessandro looked at me, shy. "Kasi sabi mo dati, French white roses ang favorite mo. Yung mabango. So I ordered 500 pieces. From Paris. Para kay Matteo."I looked at him, my heart sof
THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 12: THE LAST PLAN-THE FIRE
We landed in Rome at 6 AM. No sleep, pero I felt lighter.Alessandro held my hand the whole flight, even when I fell asleep on his shoulder. Pag gising ko, nakatingin siya sa akin, gising pa rin, hindi natulog para bantayan ako."Elena, we're here," bulong niya.Pagbaba namin ng jet, may 10 cars na naghihintay. Lahat tauhan ni Alessandro, naka-black suit, serious."Boss, may problema," sabi ni Marco agad, lumapit kay Alessandro. "Si Bianca... hindi siya umalis papuntang Brazil."I froze. "What?"Alessandro's face became Mafia Lord agad. "Anong ibig mong sabihin?""Yung boat na sinakyan niya, bumalik. She paid the captain to lie. She is still in Italy, Boss. And..." Marco looked at me. "And she was seen near the De Luca mansion last night. Yung white rose garden."My blood ran cold. Matteo."Matteo!" Sigaw ko at tumakbo papunta sa car. Alessandro ran with me.We drove so fast to the mansion. 20 minutes na parang 2 hours.When we arrived, amoy usok agad."NO!" Sigaw ni Alessandro.The g
THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 11: DINNER IN PARIS
We arrived at my penthouse in Paris at 11 PM, both dirty from the warehouse, both exhausted, but alive."Maligo ka muna," sabi ko kay Alessandro habang binubuksan ko pinto ng penthouse ko. "Amoy warehouse ka na.""Ikaw din," he said, smirking. "Pero you still smell like my wife.""Guest bathroom ka. Wag kang maliligo sa room ko," I said, pointing."Yes, Ma'am."I went to my room, took a quick shower, and changed into a simple black dress. Not sexy, just comfortable. Paglabas ko, si Alessandro nandun na sa kitchen ko, trying to cook steak, naka-white towel lang sa balikat, hair basa, sleeves nakatupi."Anong ginagawa mo?" I asked, leaning on the doorframe."Cooking dinner, as promised," he said, not looking, focused on the steak. "Steak, not burnt eggs. And red wine. For my wife.""I'm not your wife," I said automatically, pero mahina na."You are," he said, flipping the steak perfectly. "Five years ago, you were my wife. Today, you are still my wife. Legal pa rin tayo, Elena. Hindi pa
THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 10: HUNTING RICARDO IN PARIS
The bomb was dead on the floor, pero my hands were still shaking.Alessandro was holding me from behind in my office in Le Rouge, both of us sitting on the floor, surrounded by money and my son's ultrasound that we just saved."Elena, okay ka lang?" he whispered against my hair."Hindi," sabi ko honestly. "Nanginginig pa rin ako. Three seconds, Alessandro. Three seconds na lang, patay na tayo.""Pero hindi tayo namatay," he said, tightening his hug. "We survived. Together."Tumunog phone niya. Si Marco."Boss, we found him. Si Ricardo. Nasa rooftop ng hotel tapat ng Le Rouge. He was watching. He saw you defuse the bomb. Tumakas siya papuntang Seine River, may dalang boat."Alessandro stood up agad, pulling me with him."Let's go," he said."Where?""Hunt him. Hindi pwedeng makatakas siya after trying to kill my wife and destroying your casino.""My casino," I corrected, pero I held his hand. "Pero fine, our hunt."We ran out of Le Rouge, into the cold Paris night. 10 PM na, umuulan ng
THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 9 : THE BOMB IN PARIS
The breakfast was... sunog.Nasa kitchen ako ng De Luca mansion, 7 AM, suot pa rin yung black silk robe ko, hawak yung kape, tinititigan yung itlog na sunog na niluto ni Alessandro De Luca, ang pinaka-kinakatakutang Mafia Lord sa Italy."Elena, I can explain," sabi niya, pawis na pawis, naka-apron pa na pink na may nakasulat na _Kiss The Cook_, na pinahiram ni Manang."Explain what, Alessandro? Na yung Mafia Lord na kayang magpatakbo ng buong underworld, hindi marunong magluto ng itlog?" I raised an eyebrow, trying hard not to laugh. Madam E mode dapat ako, pero ang cute niya."First time ko magluto, okay? Five years ago, you always cooked! I never learned!" depensa niya, kamot ulo."So ibig sabihin, babagsak ka sa challenge ko? So lalayas ka na sa guest room?""No! Wait!" He quickly took the burnt egg and threw it sa trash. "Give me one more chance. One more! I will make pancakes! Pancakes hindi nasusunog!"I crossed my arms. "One last chance, De Luca. Pag sunog pa rin yan, you sleep
THE MAFIA LORD'S ABANDONED WIFE CHAPTER 8: The White Rose Garden
The morning after the gala, I didn't feel like a winner.I was sitting alone in my penthouse in Rome, still wearing my red gown from last night, barefoot, holding a glass of red wine that I haven't touched. Sa harap ko, kalat pa rin yung black folder na ebidensya laban kay Bianca.Bianca was gone. Dragged out, stripped, exiled. Pero bakit parang hindi pa rin tapos?My phone rang. Alessandro.I didn't answer.It rang again. And again. On the fourth ring, I answered, my voice cold."What do you want, Alessandro?""Elena," his voice was tired, hoarse. Halatang hindi rin siya nakatulog. "Where are you? I went to your penthouse, wala ka— I mean, I'm outside your building. Can we talk?""Wala akong oras makipag-usap sa'yo," sabi ko, pero tumayo ako at tumingin sa bintana. And there he was. Outside my building, in the same tuxedo from last night, leaning on his car, holding two coffees, looking like a lost puppy. The Mafia Lord, puyat, gusgusin, naghihintay."Nasa labas ka ng building ko ng
