The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 115:Matteo's Favorite Uncle
The map became the most talked-about subject in the villa although not openly for the next coming days, it lingered in the background of every conversation all the same. Even Lorenzo still found himself thinking about it at the strangest moments, while reviewing reports in his office and walking through the gardens, the realization refused to leave him because for years, he had believed Lucia's absence was a simple thing.He had built the foundation of his entire childhood, believing this and now that foundation was cracking. The thought unsettled him more than he wanted to admit because sincerely, he no longer knew what was going on. And that morning, as if seeking relief from the raging thoughts in his head, he wandered outside the villa.Outside, the weather was unusually pleasant as if it was trying to take a break from the incessant downpour of the last few days. Sunlight spilled into the vineyards, turning the rolling fields into waves of gold and green. Somewhere in the dista
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 112: The Mother He Remembered Wrong
For the rest of the morning, the photograph stayed resting in Lorenzo's pocket all day. Isabella was so dumbstruck she could barely say a word, she just put it in his hand, turned around and walked away. He should have left it in the study or probably put it back into Dante's box where it had been found and forgotten about it. Instead, he found himself taking it out repeatedly, staring at it for a few seconds, then putting it away again as though the answers might somehow appear if he looked long enough.The photograph itself wasn't what bothered him, it was the writing. He had even shown it to Marco who stood all surprised as well, he had no idea stuff like that existed.Keep an eye on her.It was just five words but they had managed to make Dante feel unfamiliar all over again. Lorenzo now stood alone on the terrace overlooking the vineyards with his coffee untouched beside him. The morning sun had already climbed high enough in the sky to burn away the last traces of fog, leaving
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 111: The Things They Never Said
The villa had finally grown quiet although not completely quiet. That never happened anymore, especially not with Matteo living under the same roof. Somewhere down the hallway, Lorenzo could still hear the faint sound of a cartoon playing from a tablet that had supposedly been confiscated an hour ago. Every few minutes, Matteo's laughter drifted through the house, followed by Andre's patient voice trying and failing to make him understand that bedtime was for his own good. For Lorenzo, all of that felt strangely comforting because all his life, silence had been Lorenzo's companion. He had lived in it, worked with it and had hidden inside it. But now the house was filled with voices and footsteps, arguments over breakfast, and toys that appeared in impossible places. And somehow, he preferred it that way. Now he stood alone in Dante's old study that was dimly lit by the fireplace. staring out at the dark gardens beyond the window. The room still carried traces of its former owner, fr
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 110: The Boy Dante Didn’t Choose
The rain continued throughout the night and by morning, the villa was wrapped in strange stillness. Droplets of water clung to the olive trees outside the windows, as low clouds drifted across the distant hills, shutting out the rest of the world beyond the estate walls.The quiet should have been comforting but Lorenzo had found it very unsettling. He was standing alone on the western terrace when he heard footsteps behind him.He didn't need to turn around."I see you couldn't sleep either?" Andre asked."No." Lorenzo replied, staring out at the rain-darkened gardens.Andre joined him by the railing and for a while, neither of them spoke a word. Surprisingly, the silence was no longer awkward and that surprised Lorenzo all the more.Just a few weeks ago, Andre had been a stranger, a mere ghost hidden inside old photographs but now his presence felt strangely familiar like a question Lorenzo had spent his entire life trying to answer without realizing it."Matteo told me you used to
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 109: Lucia’s Shadow
Nobody knew who had delivered the package that arrived just after sunrise. Even the security footage showed nothing unusual. No vehicle approached the main gate or courier signed in and most of all, no guard had reported seeing anyone enter the property. Yet somehow that small brown box sat neatly on the front steps of the villa when the staff opened the doors that morning and that along was enough to send waves of tension throughout the house. Marco was the first to inspect it while Lorenzo arrived moments later, followed by Isabella and Andre. Matteo attempted to join the investigation but was immediately bribed with pancakes by one of his favorites mades he'd loved to argue with and was redirected toward the dining room. "You're chasing me away… all of you.." he mumbled sulkily. "That's correct," Lorenzo replied. "At least you're honest." He retorted before walking away. The moment passed quickly. Nobody was laughing now and the box sat on the dining table under their se
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 108: The Three Missing Hours
The villa did not sleep after the surveillance footage was discovered and by three o'clock in the morning, every member of the security team had been called into the control room and the atmosphere felt even worse now.For weeks they had been dealing with shadows, strange sightings and unanswered questions. Now they had proof that someone had penetrated their security network, stood on the property and had been watching all this while.Jensen had been tied up and confined to one of the iron chairs, Lorenzo stood behind his chair while Marco replayed the footage for the seventh time.The image flickered, the figure appeared and vanished and yet again, static swallowed the screen and when the feed returned, the stranger was gone.Marco paused the recording. Nobody spoke."Now, you're going to tell me exactly what happened." Lorenzo declared, finally sparing Jensen a glance.The guard looked exhausted and frightened. Not guilty.Frightened."But… I… I've already told you." He stammered.
