The Mafia Heir's Lost Love

The heir to a mafia family, Aurelio Bianchi, had a new lover who was a pure and innocent college student.When the news reached Sofia Marino, she was kneeling on the velvet carpet of a luxury boutique, fitting shoes for a wealthy woman.A coworker held a phone in front of her, showing a photo from a gossip tabloid. Surprisingly, the usually arrogant Aurelio had gone into a noisy pizza shop in Dunmere with that young woman. He turned slightly to shield her from the crowd, his expression full of undisguised affection.Sofia's fingers trembled, and the shoe nearly slipped from her grip. She lowered her gaze and went on tying the laces. "That's all in the past."After the wealthy woman left, the store manager, Vittorio Rizzo, sauntered over. His leering eyes roamed over her as he said, "Sofia, did Aurelio dump you? I told you so. A wealthy playboy like him would never take a relationship seriously."Sofia ignored him and headed toward the stockroom, but her coworkers' whispers followe

After the breakup with Aurelio, Sofia's days grew much harder. With nothing holding Vittorio back, he dumped all the dirtiest, most exhausting tasks on her. He even hinted that the only way she would get any peace was to sleep with him.Sofia gritted her teeth and endured it. The family banquet was a little over ten days away. Once she completed the mission, she planned to resign.Yet Vittorio pushed things further, insisting that Sofia accompany him to a business dinner. At the dinner, he forced her to drink one glass after another. When she sensed something was off, she made an excuse to use the restroom.She slipped out to the hallway and heard a familiar voice from the private room next door. "I'll take this drink for Elena. Don't give her a hard time."It was Aurelio.His rowdy friends started teasing him. "Aurelio, your new girlfriend is quite beautiful. Between her and Sofia, who do you like better?" one of them asked.Aurelio spat to the side, and his tone turned seriou

Aurelio stood among the restless crowd, his gaze fixed on the figure holding a gun. He couldn't believe that Sofia, the woman he had once deeply loved and now hated, was a federal agent.Elena was the first to recover from the shock. She said sharply, "An agent? What a performance! Did you sleep with Aurelio for two years just to complete your mission? Is that how your agency works, using your body to get what you want?"She wanted to humiliate Sofia, but despite the uneasy glances among the guests, no one dared say a word in front of the armed agent. Aurelio's expression turned grim, yet his eyes stayed locked on Sofia. Elena shot her a resentful glare.Sofia didn't even blink. She ignored Elena completely and didn't look at Aurelio either. She went about directing the work with calm efficiency.As the operation wound down, Antonio and the others were taken away. Sofia did a final check of the evidence list, gave her colleague a nod, and turned toward the exit.Aurelio stared at

Aurelio got Elena out of custody and took her to an abandoned warehouse. A small group of haggard-looking men and women stood inside the warehouse. They were the families of the young women she had lured.Amid Elena's terrified screams, Aurelio shut the warehouse door. He leaned against the cold wall and lit a cigarette. He didn't leave; he simply stood there, quietly listening to the cries and the sounds of blows inside.He didn't know how much time had passed before the sounds gradually died down.He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Elena was curled up on the floor, her face covered in blood as she struggled to crawl toward him and grabbed the hem of his pants. "A-Aurelio…" she gasped. "I've been punished. Isn't that enough? Can you let me go?"Aurelio looked down at her with a blank expression. "Elena, you could never repay what you owe those young women or what you owe me in a lifetime."He kicked her away and handed her over to the police officers waiting outside. "

Sofia looked at the disheveled Aurelio in front of her, her expression completely calm. "Aurelio, did you forget that you were the one who walked away first?"Aurelio trembled at her words and shook his head frantically. "No… Sofia, I never wanted to lose you! I thought… I thought you had no feelings for me at all, that you loved Antonio, and that you didn't even want our child."I was wrong. I was stupid! But I never stopped loving you. Those misunderstandings clouded my judgment and made me do terrible things!"He stood and reached for her hand, but she pulled away.A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Sofia's mouth. "A misunderstanding? So because of a misunderstanding, you humiliated me, stayed out all night to punish me, and used Elena to humiliate me?"Aurelio, in those six months, did you even once think about sitting down and actually talking to me, asking me what was really going on? You didn't. You chose the cruelest way possible to vent your frustration and suspicion.
