The Mafia Widow's Revenge Chapter twenty-five
ELENA I felt a quiet sense of satisfaction settle over me as I sank into the plush armchair. The day’s work had gone better than expected. I pulled off the wide-brimmed hat, the soft brush of the fabric against my fingertips grounding me. Reaching up, I slid out the pins securing my tight bun, letting my hair tumble down in loose waves. A relieved sigh slipped past my lips as I unfastened the buttons of my fitted jacket and shrugged it off, the cool air brushing against my heated skin.I needed to stay ahead of Dante Morreti. One step, maybe two, if I was smart enough. But there was one problem I couldn’t ignore—one name that tangled itself in my thoughts no matter how hard I tried to push it away.DeLuca Adrian.He wouldn’t be pleased when he found out I’d changed some of the staff at the casino. But then again, we’d never really had a proper conversation. He was too much of an asshole for that."Who’s an asshole?"Sarah’s voice cut through the quiet, light and teasing. I glanced up

ELENA.Sarah never ceases to amaze me. She's been dressing up for the past half hour, and I’ve already checked my wristwatch for what feels like the hundredth time. Maybe inviting her was a bad idea. I curse under my breath.Just as I’m about to lose my patience, I hear the soft click of heels against wood. I look up from my watch and see her descending the staircase, wearing a form-fitting pencil gown that hugs her curves perfectly. Her long brown hair cascades down her shoulders in soft waves, catching the light.“Wow,” I say, raising a brow as I give her a slow once-over. “Trying to seduce my old man?”“A girl’s gotta look good,” Sarah says, flicking her hair back with a practiced grace.She stops at the bottom of the stairs and extends her hand toward the door. “Shall we?”“Are you planning on going somewhere afterward?” I ask as she steps outside.“That depends,” she smirks, mischief dancing in her eyes.“On…?” I press.“If I meet a nice guy who sweeps me off my feet…” She pauses

ELENA THEN."Congratulations," the girl beside me said, her voice light and friendly. She had short, dark curls framing her delicate face—slim, model-like features that made her look effortlessly chic."Thanks," I replied, offering her a wide smile. We’d never spoken before, so her sudden friendliness caught me a bit off guard."Visiting Paris and participating in Fashion Week is one of my dreams. You’re so lucky," she said with a wistful smile.I returned her smile politely, glancing around the dressing room. The other girls were seated in pairs, talking and laughing quietly among themselves. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that their eyes kept drifting toward me. Whispered conversations, subtle glances.I pulled out my phone and started scrolling, trying to ignore the weight of their stares."When are you leaving?" the girl asked again, still smiling at me."We haven’t finalized it yet," I replied, my eyes fixed on the screen.Just then, the room fell eerily silent. A sudden shift

DELUCAI pushed through the heavy double doors of the venue, my steps quick and controlled. The soft hum of conversation and clinking of glasses barely registered over the sharp pounding in my chest. My jaw tightened as I scanned the room, the low lighting casting a golden glow over the sleek marble floors and crystal-draped chandeliers. Round tables were set with precision, the rich scent of fresh roses and expensive champagne hanging in the air.Lucas trailed at my side, his hands tucked casually in his pockets. He didn’t need to say a word for me to know he was amused. The slight lift of his brow and the curve of his lips said it all.“This way, sir,” a staff member said, gesturing toward the front. I barely spared them a glance as I moved toward the table I had selected earlier that day. Front row. Centered. The perfect vantage point. Close enough that she’d see me. Close enough that I wouldn’t miss a single detail.I pulled out the chair and sat down, my back straight, shoulders

DELUCA "Looks like your focus has changed. Or maybe… your interests have.”The voice sliced through me like a knife, sharp and deliberate. My grip tightened around the stem of my glass as I turned toward the sound.Camila stood at the edge of the table, her dark brown eyes gleaming beneath the soft glow of the overhead lights. Her long, chestnut hair cascaded down her back in loose waves, framing her sculpted cheekbones and full lips, which curved into a knowing smile. A figure-hugging black dress clung to her body, the plunging neckline and high slit leaving little to the imagination. Gold hoop earrings caught the light as she tilted her head, her gaze fixed on me with unsettling familiarity.She took a step closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. Then she slid into the seat beside Lucas, her manicured hand brushing over his arm as she leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to his cheek.“Which is it?” she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as they cut toward me.

ELENA.Surprising even myself, I moved toward Lucas—DeLuca’s friend—and pressed a quick peck to his cheek. There was something effortlessly charming about him, something that, for a fleeting moment, reminded me of Sarah. I adjusted my bag, preparing to leave before she could utter another. I had every intention of ignoring her first remark, acting as if I hadn’t heard it.But then she spoke again.“He’ll dump you like he did the rest,” the woman with long chestnut hair said, this time addressing me directly.I froze mid-step. The exhaustion I had felt moments ago evaporated, replaced by a sharp, simmering irritation. Slowly, I turned to face her, stepping forward with deliberate intent.DeLuca and Lucas both watched me, their expressions unreadable.“You mean the way he dumped you?” I asked, tilting my head, my tone laced with cutting amusement.Her dark brown eyes glimmered with a smug sort of pride. “Oh, sweetheart, you got that part of the story wrong. I left him, by the way.”I sc

ELENA.As soon as I got back to the house, Sarah began to question me on how the event went. “You know, if you wanted to know so much, you should have gone” I cut her off as I pushed open my bedroom door and walked in, going straight to the vanity stand to begin dismantling all the armor Sarah had put on me before I left. “Like that's ever gonna happen, I mean imagine the tension but I'll go the next time though. I'd love to see you walk. Now spill” I Iaughed at her eager look before walking to the door and pulling it open. “You don't mean it?” She gave me a fake offended look even as she walked past me and out of the room. “Good night Sarah” I chuckled at the tongue she stuck out at me before I closed the door. “This is not over yet” I heard her tell from the other side of the door before her retreating footsteps filled my ears. I was so exhausted and didn't have the strength nor the energy for anything this evening.My eyes went towards the pink box Dante had given me the othe

ELENA "Please have a seat" Came from behind me and I slowly turned around to stare pointedly at the indifferent looking Mr. deluca who promptly gestured to the chair there for me to take the seat and I did it without any other word.Getting comfortable before I looked up to his expectant look before I opened up my lips to speak but then the sound of the door opening made us both turn towards the intruder to find an annoyed looking secretary staring at our form.What was up with them and interruption. "What is it Nichole?" He asked, his voice devoid of any emotion at all and I saw her gulp before she composed herself and stepped into the office fully all this while without staring at me and I commended her for her composure in the face of all that Mr. Deluca is. "You ordered to inform you if any call came in from the dubai business manager" I glanced back to Mr. Deluca and saw him give her a slow deliberate smile that she seemed to understand because the next second, she was out th

DELUCA What on earth was wrong with event hosts recently and inviting me to anchor a ballet dance..? It was absurd, why would I anchor a ballet dance of all things-- It was supposed to be a very huge one in history but after making some investigations, I found out that although it would be a huge event, it didn't give me any reason to attend it at all.Lucas chortled with an evil twinkle in his eyes after he also read the invite card and I glared at him."Hey... I didn't see that!" He suddenly sat up with an exclamation and I gave him a bored look."See what?" I decided to indulge him."Here, written in small print and then a bold one says and I quote *"Guest of Honor, Mrs Elena Russo**" He sat up quickly with a grin and those words had me sitting up with eagerness, hoping to see her at the event this evening. It had been a week since that last package I sent her, it was not much but I felt it was enough for now-- she wasn't ready for the rest and even if she was, I was reluctant to

ELENA I sat beside Sarah on her bed, watching as she slept peacefully -- without any care in the world--one that was just so dangerous.Tapping her gently, I watched as she woke up--stretching like a cat and it got me laughing and she literally flew off the bed with terror in her face."Who's there!" She shrieked and I had to cover my ears but as soon as her eyes cleared and focused on mine, I saw how she relaxed and came back to sit on the bed with me."Scaredy cat" I murmured and she slapped my arm softly to which I laughed at."You scared me! Don't do that again" she exclaimed and I laughed hard and deep."Alright alright, I won't." I promised and she nodded in affirmation."So what brings you to my room at this ungodly hour?" She asked and I gave her a funny stare."It's 11 in the morning" Her eyes widened with shock."You're kidding" she was in disbelief as she took slow steps to the window and pulled the curtains open only for the harsh sunlight to stream into the dark room-- b

DELUCA Staring straight at me was someone whose presence wasn't needed, neither was it accepted at all- it was a surprise seeing him enter my office after Nichole let him in.Dante Morreti gave me a smile that had me giving a short inquisitive glance at Lucas who gave an unnoticeable shrug."Mr Morreti, what brings you to my office?" I questioned, not in the least bit interested at the reason behind him being here."I have business with you Mr Deluca. I've come to give you a warning" That hit a cord in my brain and I straightened, my whole demeanor changing as I sent him a cold calculating smile.His smile became strained but still, he chose to keep talking-- he was digging his own grave and if he wanted to be buried so badly, I'd send him down twelve feet."I hear you owe the bitch and plan to fulfill that by telling her about that bastard, Lorenzo"We shared the same sentiment regarding Lorenzo, but I knew he hated the guy mainly because he wanted what he had-- too bad Elena stood i

ELENA "You own the original?" Lucas was surprised and clearly intrigued and I gave a slow nod while sipping on my champagne like it was a walk in the park."Do you sell it?" He quickly asked and I almost spitted out my drink as my voice turned cold---sell what? A painting Lorenzo had gifted me years ago on my birthday just because I gave it a mere awe-filled glance at an event he took me to.THEN"I got you something Ellie" came from the bedroom and I raised my eyebrows, surprised at that as I cleaned up my washed face."What is it?" I yelled out, folding up the towel and hanging it before moisturizing my face."Come see" he said with an air of mystery that had a smile coming on my face as I wore my robe and left the bathroom behind, fixing up my hair and checking for spots left undried when my eyes caught on something by the bed.It stood on a pole of sorts, it took my breath away."Happy birthday" he grinned at my reaction and I slapped his chest with a goofy smile on my face."Why

DELUCA Flashes of cameras led me into the building the event was being hosted at. It was an important event that intrigued me and made me excited to cause a bit of trouble within these rich and pompous men that liked flaunting their money around just to make themselves known.As soon as I walked into the circular place, the whole attendees gave me a wide berth as an attendant led me to my seat on the guest of Honor part.It only housed four seats, I occupied one with Lucas seated beside me, not knowing how I'd regret that move when she came.It wasn't long after I had taken my seat when a sort of hush went through the still standing crowd, everyone stood transfixed to a spot, staring at someone or something with such awe in their gazes.I was intrigued, standing up just to see a smiling Camilla who soaked up in the attention like she owned it-- I signed and began to take my seat once again when my eyes found that of none other than Elena.She stared at me with an intense look, one th

ELENA Sarah was already bouncing around the room, holding up two completely opposite dresses and asking which looked more “Saturday-slay” appropriate. I gave her a small smile as she spun toward the mirror, already lost in her fashion world. I admire that about her—how she could simply live in the moment, find something beautiful in the middle of chaos.“Text me when you get to the store,” I said softly.“I will,” she replied, pausing in her whirlwind of activity to glance at me. “You sure you don’t want to come?”“I need to check on Dad,” I murmured, glancing at my phone. “And figure out what I’m wearing to this… ridiculous event.”She gave me a quick hug and a knowing smile before grabbing her purse and slipping out the door. The silence she left behind hit me harder than expected.I sank onto the edge of the bed and called Dad. The line clicked once, then twice, before his voice came through—sleep-rough, but steady.“Elena?”“Hey,” I said, trying to sound upbeat. “Just checking on

DELUCA We had gotten down to the location, the insistent beeping of the GPS tracker as we drove down the secluded highway indicated that Colton was still on the move but was getting considerably slower than before, his gas must have been giving up on him.It soon came to a stop and I felt my heartbeat increase as fear racked through my whole body, I couldn't fail in protecting him, not this time at least.I urged the car to go more faster by stepping on the accelerator and was soon flying down the streets, cutting down corners as I followed the map and soon the sound of shooting began to fill my ears and fear clenched it's fist around my heart as I felt a rapid headache begin to form behind my eyelids.Arriving at the destination and finding shots being fired at Colton's blue truck had my blood boiling as I immediately pulled out my gun, rolled down the side of my glass window and just as they turned to check up on what was happening, I shot one straight to the skull and heard curses

ELENA I growled loudly as I flung the box against the wall, rage pulsing through my veins. This had been my one chance to get something—anything—to move forward, and it turned out to be a lousy prank?Dante was really testing me, pushing my limits just to see how far my patience would stretch.I had never felt such a mix of fury and resolve to make him pay. A dark thought kept circling in my mind—what if he had something to do with my late husband’s death? But too many pieces of the puzzle didn’t fit, and the frustration was eating me alive.I’d been here before—frustrated, running in circles, grasping at straws, hoping for a clue, anything to advance my investigation.And now, this? This was all I had to show for my effort? It made me feel like I was failing—like I was disappointing my late husband—and the thought tore painfully at my chest."Hey, you good?" came a voice from the door.I spun around to see Sarah standing there. I had forgotten to close the door when I came in. She l

DELUCA My fingers drummed a random beat on the table in my office as I sat lost in thought. I wondered just how far I’d have to go to repay the debt Elena was collecting from me.She was still in the dark about the vile dealings of her late bastard of a husband, and while I didn’t want to hurt her, she deserved the truth.Why it had to be me who told her—I was beginning to resent that part. I’d tried to delay sending the package I promised, but it was inevitable. I had to follow through soon or it would count as reneging on a debt owed."You good?" filtered into my ears, and I sighed deeply, palming my face as a headache started to creep in.Lucas whistled lowly with a smirk. It never took him long to figure out what was going on with me. I wasn’t surprised."I don't see the problem here," he began."But I do," I cut him off quickly."What do you see as the prob—""Me!" I exclaimed, pausing before continuing. "Why does it have to be me who sends the package?""Because you should...?"
