DELUCA

Relief washed over me as I stepped into my house. I had just come back from my father’s place, and despite the tension that always lingered there, being back in my own space gave me a strange sense of comfort.

We never had a good relationship. He never missed a chance to remind me that I was nothing like him — and not in a way that suggested he wished I was. Just cold disappointment masked as indifference.

But here, in the quiet of the living room, I could almost push that aside. Until Jaxon’s report crept back into my mind, tightening my chest and making it impossible to relax.

Elena was no longer safe. Not after her last confrontation with the Mafia elders. I knew how they operated — no one challenged them without consequences. And Elena… She was a novice in this game.

“I wished she would just accept my offer”.

From where I sat in the living room, I watched Lucas stride in. His sharp gaze scanned the room before settling on me.

  • The Mafia Widow's Revenge    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight

    ELENA “Many things happen in this casino, but none like today,” the girl at the bar said as I stopped by her on my way to DeLuca’s office, just like he’d asked.I gave her a look, grabbed the cup of clear water, and downed it slowly.“I don’t know what you mean,” I replied once I was done, handing the cup back to her before turning to leave.“I know you do,” she called after me.I smiled faintly at her words as I walked into the dark hallway.At the intersection to my left, I paused and glanced at Lorenzo’s former office. The door was ajar, smoke drifting lazily out from inside.I shook my head to clear my thoughts and continued on my way, soon pushing open DeLuca’s office door.“Elena Russo, you are amazing.”I stopped in my tracks at that and glanced at Lucas, raising an eyebrow.“Lucas, I’ve got no idea what you’re on about,” I said, moving to take a seat in front of DeLuca.“I’m arranging for a table and other necessities to be delivered here so you’ll have a space of your own,”

    DELUCA "What is happening here?" I barked out loud and they all took steps backwards with fear in their gazes."Someone answer that question or if you make me ask twice, your families will hold a funeral without your body" I said, my voice now low and someone began to speak, it was the bar girl."Mr Dante ordered for Miss to be beaten but they instead began to fight amongst themselves" she explained clearly and I commended her for being stable even when I could practically feel her fear from this door."Who was ordered?" I asked and she immediately pointed to four different men, all shaking their heads negatively."I wouldn't blame them, a million dollars stake was on it" Elena said as she sipped from a cup and I gave her a look of disbelief. "She's nuts" Lucas whispered to me and I couldn't agree more. Elena was becoming more and more surprising and it always kept me on my toes because I could never guess what she would do next, she was unpredictable like a wild card."Lucas, take

    ELENA I got off the bike and just stared at it as a single thought ran through my head—This bike… was it bought with money made from dealing with those—The words couldn't even form. I fought with myself, trying to comprehend the lengths Lorenzo had gone to in his shady dealings.I heaved in a breath and walked into the casino. Everyone greeted me with smiles, but I could only force out a grimace.I wasn’t in the mood to smile, but I knew I had to—to keep up appearances.Still, I couldn't find it in me. So, I didn’t.“Oh my, my… the prodigal princess returns,” someone called out.I made no move to stop as I walked to the bar, where the bar girl stood grinning at me.She looked much more confident than before—ever since I gave her that gift.And that made me feel good.“Get me my usual, but make it stronger,” I said.She nodded and went to work just as Dante Moretti walked up to my side and slid into the seat beside me.“What do you want?” I indulged him with a cold tone.He glanced

    DELUCA "That was cold," Lucas muttered as soon as we got into the car. My driver drove off, and I gave him a nonchalant look."I’ve not the slightest clue what you're on about," I responded, and he glared at me."She was so devastated," his voice turned pitiful, and it was my turn to glare at him."Because I fancy her just a tiny bit doesn’t give her the right to slack off. And besides, I have someone better," I said, and he gave me a funny look."Says the guy I’ve been trying to get laid all his life," he muttered. My hand went to my breast pocket, and he raised his hands in surrender."Alright, alright. I’m sorry. God, you can’t take a joke," he poured out quickly after I lowered my hand, then turned to look out the window like a child on timeout. Dramatic fellow.My phone's ringtone blared suddenly, and my brows furrowed as I saw Colton’s name flashing on the screen."Hey, Colton. What’s up?" I asked as I picked up."Father came today. I sent him away, of course, but as he left, t

    ELENA As I drove down to the casino, my mind ran more faster than my bike. I couldn't ask Mr Leo to drive me because now that Dante says he owned the place--- there was no telling he wouldn't make a run for me by trying to blow up my car and bringing Mr Leo would have put him in danger and I didn't want that.I thought of the photos I saw and then thought of the fact that if the photos were that cruel, how about what was in that flash drive.A chill ran down my spine as I thought more about it, what Lorenzo has been up to and what happened to the man I thought I married, the one I had fallen for.My chest constricted as I fired up my gas and the speed increased.I heard a sound and glanced at my rearview mirror to find a cop car behind me, he flagged me down and I sighed as I reduced my speed and parked by the side of the highway."Good morning Miss" he greeted me and I gave him a look, I was on my helmet and I did not have the time for this."Is there a problem, officer?" I asked an

    ELENAI stepped out of the bathroom, towel-drying my hair. There was still some time before I had to head to the casino.Walking over to the door, I locked it.Sarah was the only one who ever tried barging in.I started with the photo DeLuca had sent along with the USB drive.Now, holding the pictures in my hands, a chill ran down my spine.Looking at them up close, it felt like I was staring at strangers.Some of the images showed children—bound together, their mouths gagged.Some looked starved, others lifeless.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to convince myself it couldn’t be real.My mind wandered back to the Lorenzo I thought I knew.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THEN"Let me help with that," Lorenzo said, taking the wipes from my hand and gently removing the makeup from my face."How was the shoot?" he asked, nipping at my neck, making me let out a soft growl."You promised to come watch me," I said, pretending to be upset, though his lips on my skin made it impossible t
