The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 86: Blood Is Not the Same as Family
The world stopped… like literally stopped. The air inside the tunnel seemed to vanish completely as Marco’s words settled into the darkness with devastating precision.…is the same man who signed your adoption papers.Nobody moved or attempted to even breathe, even the distant mechanical hum that echoed loudly through the underground structure suddenly felt impossibly far away.Lorenzo stared at Marco without blinking, the sentence refused to process at first because it made no sense. None of it.Adoption.That word alone sounded absurd attached to his life, to his name and to the empire he had inherited through blood and power. No.That’s kmpossible and yet, the moment the thought formed, something deep inside him violently. Fragments of memories and conversations that suddenly sounded different and the way his father avoided certain questions when Lorenzo was younger.Even in the way the older members of the organization sometimes looked at him strangely during his early years, the
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 85: Darkness Makes People Honest
Darkness swallowed the tunnel whole, nobody moved for several seconds and nobody spoke. The metallic slam of the containment doors still echoed faintly through the underground structure, revebrating through stone and bone alike until silence finally settled over everything like a burial cloth.Then came the sharp and uneven breathing with too many dangerous people were trapped inside one confined space with loaded weapons, buried history, and enough betrayal between them to start a war.Lorenzo stood perfectly still in the dark.His son remained held tightly behind him as he let one of his large hands cover the back of the boy’s head protectively while his other hand maintained a steady grip on the gun now lowered at his side.His shoulder burned violently now as warm blood continued sliding beneath his shirt in slow steady lines, but the pain barely registered anymore, that entire arm had almost gone numbBut it was not compared to everything else, the lies and the realization that n
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 84: The Devil They Buried
Everything exploded at once as more gunshots ripped violently through the tunnel, deafening the inside of the confined space as one of Moretti’s men collapsed instantly against the stone wall, blood spraying across the dim amber light. For half a second, nobody understood where the shot had come from, then another bullet tore through the darkness and the second guard dropped. “Take cover!” Moretti’s men moved fast, their weapons snapping upward as they spread through the tunnel with trained precision, shoving into defensive positions while searching frantically for the shooter hidden somewhere deeper within the underground passage. The children cried out and Isabella ducked toward the wall on instinct, heart slamming wildly against her ribs as Marco moved in front of her without hesitation, shielding her and the children with his body. Lorenzo reacted even faster, he dropped his son and shoved him behind him as he raised his gun with his good hand toward the darkness ahead, his i
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 83: The Question That Changed Everything
The tunnel became impossibly still after Lorenzo spoke.How old is he?The question itself was simple and almost harmless but Isabella felt it hit her harder than gunfire ever could.Lorenzo stood motionless beneath the dim tunnel light, his eyes fixed entirely on her now. He lowered the gun in his hand unconsciously…letting his focus narrow to one thing only.The child and his son, Matteo.The same boy he had carried through blood and chaos without hesitation began to look more like him with every passing second now that he allowed himself to truly see it.The child in Lorenzo’s arm moved, sleepily and frightened from exhaustion, his small fingers curling against Lorenzo’s shirt.m, that tiny movement nearly broke something inside Isabella and Lorenzo reacted protectively like it was the most natural thing to do.Ricci watched the scene in complete silence now, unusually restrained for the first time since his arrival, Even Moretti had stopped speaking while he let his sharp eyes stud
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 81: Ghosts That Never Left
The tunnel changed the moment the men entered and the balance of power that had existed seconds earlier shifted beneath the weight of armed bodies, polished discipline, and the quiet confidence of men who clearly believed they were already in control of the outcome. The silver insignia across their black uniforms caught the dim light sharply as they spread through the entrance with professional organized precision. Lorenzo’s grip tightened around the gun in his hand automatically, his body unconsciously positioning itself protectively in front of Isabella and the children The older man who had spoken stepped fully into the tunnel now, calmly removing his dark gloves one finger at a time. He looked to be somewhere in his late fifties, still broad-shouldered despite his age and his dark hair cut close around a face marked by years of authority. And his eyes were strategically cold. The kind of eyes that evaluated people like assets before deciding whether they were worth preservin
The Mafia Boss's Estranged Bride. Chapter 81: What Loyalty Costs
Nobody in that tunnel misunderstood what the sentence truly meant, especially Marco. He's worked with men like Lorenzo De Luca well enough to know that they didn't explode when they were most dangerous. Instead, they became calm and methodical.And that kind of anger destroyed things painfully and completely and every single one of them standing there, knew it.The tunnel suddenly seemed colder than before, the dim amber light casting long shadows across Lorenzo’s face as he stepped away from Marco at last. His injured shoulder had begun bleeding heavily again beneath his nowdark shirt, the fabric soaked near his side now, but he either didn’t notice or no longer cared.At the moment, the betrayal in his world now had his attention, and that awareness began to change him in real time. Lorenzo lowered the gun slowly but did not holster it as his gaze moved between Ricci and Marco carefully now, his silence was no longer uncertain but analytical as though he were rearranging years of me
