Chapter 7

Author: Lola Lockhart
Luca froze in place. It took him a long time to find his voice again.

"Dead? How is that possible? You're lying. You have to be lying... How could Raymond not be my son? He looks so much like me..."

"He looks like you?" Lorenzo's gaze suddenly fell on Luca's face. "Are you questioning whether my son is really mine? Have you been alive for too long?"

"No, I wouldn't dare..." Luca lowered his head.

I saw tears slipping from the corners of his eyes.

The irony was that when I'd just mentioned t

    "Freya..." Luca crawled toward me, reaching out to take my hand.But before he could touch me, a leather shoe slammed into his chest.The force sent Luca tumbling backward, and he crashed hard onto the concrete floor.Lorenzo stepped in front of me, pressing his gun against Luca's head. "Do you think you're even worthy of touching her?""Don't shoot." I held Lorenzo's wrist, my fingertips slowly sliding along his knuckles until they came to rest on the finger curled around the trigger. "Let him live. After all, watching him suffer alive is much more entertaining than watching him die."Lorenzo lowered his eyes to look at me and let out a quiet laugh. "All right. Whatever you say."With that, he took my hand and led me outside. "This place is filthy. Let them keep an eye on things here. I'll go home and make something delicious for you and Raymond."I glanced at Luca. At that moment, I didn't even feel like mocking him anymore.I sent Luca back to the casino he had once managed

    Luca froze in place. It took him a long time to find his voice again."Dead? How is that possible? You're lying. You have to be lying... How could Raymond not be my son? He looks so much like me...""He looks like you?" Lorenzo's gaze suddenly fell on Luca's face. "Are you questioning whether my son is really mine? Have you been alive for too long?""No, I wouldn't dare..." Luca lowered his head.I saw tears slipping from the corners of his eyes.The irony was that when I'd just mentioned the child who had died, his eyes had shown nothing but confusion.Yet now, upon hearing that Raymond wasn't his son, he was crying.Of course. After all, he'd just lost the last bargaining chip he had left to save his own life.I was about to say something when Anna suddenly fainted.Luca jerked his head up and scrambled toward her. "Anna! Anna, what's wrong?"He hurriedly lifted her into his arms, then turned to shout at me, "Donna, Anna has cancer, you know that! Please, have a doctor come

    Seeing her husband turn on her so callously, the last glimmer of hope in Harriet's eyes shattered, and she suddenly burst into crazed laughter."Ron, you've certainly done a good job of washing your hands of this!" She abruptly stood up and pointed a finger at Ron's nose."Don Capello, over the years, he's used his position as the executive in charge of this base to embezzle the family's assets! Those three casinos in the eastern part of the city, along with half the shipping commissions from the docks, all went straight into his own pockets!"Ron's face instantly turned deathly pale. He lunged at her, trying to cover her mouth. "You piece of shit! Have you lost your mind?""You were the one who wanted to sacrifice me to save yourself! If that's how it's going to be, then no one gets to walk away alive!"After saying that, Harriet dropped to her knees in front of me again. "Donna, please spare my life! I've reported him and done the family a service!""I've never involved myself

    "Lorenzo..." I threw myself into his arms, burying my face in the warmth of his neck as I finally broke down in tears.Lorenzo held me tightly against him. His fingertips gently smoothed my tangled, wet hair, and his voice, rough with emotion yet tender, murmured softly beside my ear. "Don't be afraid. I'm here now.""Dad, they bullied Mom! You have to make them pay! Make them pay badly!" Raymond stood beside me, tears streaming down his face.Lorenzo gently wiped the tears from his cheeks and said softly, "Don't worry. Whoever lays a hand on your mother or you will pay ten times over."The moment those words fell, the crowd became so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed deafening.Luca was trembling all over. Perhaps he had never imagined that I really was the Donna.Thud!He dropped to his knees. "Don Capello, spare me! I didn't know she was the Donna... Harriet was the one who put me up to it!"He didn't even have the courage to look up at Lorenzo. In his panic, he

    I kept my eyes fixed on Luca, cautiously shielding Raymond as I stepped backward."Luca, I really am Lorenzo Capello's wife. If you dare lay a hand on me, you'd better think carefully about the consequences..."Slap!Luca struck me across the face, then grabbed my hair and yanked it hard. "You snake! You still dare to impersonate the Donna? Are you trying to get me killed?""Exactly, Freya! Even if you resent Luca for abandoning you five years ago, you can't impersonate the Donna to get him into trouble!" Anna chimed in, doing everything she could to fan the flames.The more Luca listened, the angrier he became. He kept slapping me across the face. "I'll beat you to death today!""Don't hit my mom!" Raymond scrambled up from the floor and rushed toward me again.Anna grabbed Raymond's clothes and yanked him back. "You little brat! Your mother is impersonating the Donna, and that could get her killed. I'd advise you to distance yourself from her. Otherwise, when she gets you kill

    "Stop!" I rushed over and separated Raymond from the other boy.I examined Raymond carefully. "Are you hurt?"Raymond shook his head. "No."Relieved that he was unharmed, I asked, "Why were you fighting?"Before Raymond could answer, the little boy who had fought with my son shouted first, "He deserved it! He tried to take my stuff!""That badge belongs to me." Raymond was still young, but the natural authority of a mafia heir was already beginning to show.The little boy snorted. "So what if it's yours? If I want it, it's mine. Give it to me right now, or I'll make my dad hang you up and beat you!""Just try it." Raymond took a fearless step forward.Frightened by Raymond, the little boy suddenly sat down on the floor and burst into tears. The situation immediately spiraled out of control.Just then, a woman rushed out of the crowd. "Who's bullying my son?"I firmly positioned myself in front of Raymond and said to her, "No one is bullying your son. He was the one who tried
