The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 99: The Woman Who Stayed Away
When Lorenzo got back to the villa, he could not sleep, he was just watching and thinking, tuning over everything Marco had said that night in his mind, implying that he was not the legitimate son of his father. For every single time he replayed the scene in his head, it broke him, over and over again, those words had followed him all the way home. He laughed once not because it was funny, but because it was unbearable, all of it.A soft sound behind him broke the silence, he turned around and saw Isabella standing at the doorway.She wore a light sweater over her night clothes, her hair loose around her shoulders but sleep still lingered in her expression, now replaced by concern. “You weren’t in your room.” she called out, just concern tinged with worry.“I went to the greenhouse.”“You went there alone?” Her eyes widened.“Yes… I saw some footsteps by the fountain and decided to go looking” he replied.The answer sat heavily between them as she looked at him incredulously.He ste
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 98:The Man She Blamed
The note remained in Lorenzo’s hand long after the wind had died. Do not trust Marco. Those words seemed so absurd especially now that Marco himself stood only a few feet away from him, under the silver wash of the moonlight, his expression guarded as always while he watched Lorenzo in silence. The old greenhouse stood behind them, its broken glass still catching fragments of light while vines climbed the cracked walls like old scars that have refused to disappear. Marco’s eyes moved once to the paper. “What did she leave this time?” Marco looked from home to the paper on his hand, lingering there. Lorenzo did not answer immediately, he just fixed his gaze on the handwriting. They still had the same elegant strokes, the one from the woman who had sent messages to Matteo. The same woman who had left his childhood buried in pieces across the estate. “Why would my mother tell me not to trust you?” he asked, slowly folding the note. Marco went still as night seemed to quiet aroun

For the rest of the evening, the wooden horse remained on Lorenzo's desk. Not even Marco who had quietly increased security around the estate after it was discovered. Isabella had kept looking at it all through dinner while Matteo kept asking Lorenzo if it belonged to him while growing up, that was the one question Lorenzo hadn't responded to since they began to draw closer.The truth had been simple yet strangely difficult to say aloud because in truth,it had belonged to him. It belonged to a version of him he barely remembered anymore.The horse had once lived in the pocket of a six-year-old boy who used to run gleefully through the gardens of the old De Luca estate, climbing trees and returning home with dirty knees, who still believed adults knew everything and that parents could never leave.That boy had buried the toy after losing a childish argument and declaring, with all the dramatic finality children seemed to always possess, that he would “never need it again.”But a few we
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 96: The Message Meant for a Child
Lorenzo sat in the leather chair behind the desk with Matteo asleep against him, he wrapped his hands around his neck, nestling his jaw on his hair. The child had drifted off to sleep sometime after their conversation, with one arm looped loosely around Lorenzo’s waist while his head rested against his chest as though the place belonged to him, the wooden dinosaur still remained trapped between tiny fingers.Across the room, Isabella stood quietly near the bookshelves with her arms folded, she had not moved in almost a minute because the sight before her felt so unreal.Lorenzo De Luca; the very man who was feared across continents, the one who carried violence in his silence and command in every breath sat completely still because a little boy had fallen asleep on him.He rocked Matteo gently and somehow… he looked peaceful.The intercom crackled again with Marco's voice.“Lorenzo.” he called, the softness in the room vanished immediately.“We received another transmission from Zuric
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 95: The Weight of a Small Hand
The villa remained uneasy even long after the alarms had stopped. The security teams swept the perimeter twice before daybreak while Marco personally walked around, reviewing surveillance feeds, checked blind spots, and inspected every entrance himself. In the end, it was nothing unusual, just a triggered motion sensor near the eastern woods. Officially, it was written off as a false alarm. But no one truly believed that because the fear of the recent incidents had settled too deeply into the bones of everyone in the villa over the past weeks for anyone to just brush the tiniest issue off as a mere occurrence. You could hear it in the lowered voices of the staff, in the guards who now walked their routes with sharper eyes, and in the silence that always lingered inside every corridor. Lorenzo had not slept. He couldn't, it felt his father's revelation broke the last strand of relaxation left in him. He remained in Dante’s study way long after sunrise, seated behind the desk with
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 94: The Child Who Chose Him
By the evening the following day, the storm had finally passed over the hills surrounding the villa, leaving behind a gray, heavy sky and the damp scent of rain clinging to the estate grounds. More guards had been sent down to the safehouse and they could be seen patrolling its perimeter in doubled numbers, and every entrance to the property remained locked down under Marco’s orders, but inside the villa itself, an uneasy quiet had settled over everyone.The revelations from Dante’s archive still hung heavily in Lorenzo’s mind.He had barely slept because every time he closed his eyes, he heard his mother’s voice again.“The login name is Lucia De Luca… They found me.”Those words had lodged themselves deep inside him, refusing to loosen their grip. All his life, Lorenzo had believed the empire was his inheritance. His responsibility. His purpose. But now, for the first time, he was beginning to understand something terrifying;Dante had never truly wanted this life for him and that r
