The words left his mouth as though they were the most casual conversation between two people who hadn’t just torn each other apart. But his voice carried a depth of longing that cracked at the edges.

Sofia looked up at him, stunned, disbelieving.

“That house,” Leonardo continued, eyes locked on hers, “isn’t home without you… and the children. I can’t live there anymore. It feels hollow.”

“Leonardo, we’re divorced,” she reminded him, her voice straining to sound firm. “You need to let go.”

Leonardo let out a sharp breath, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

“Fine,” he said, a bitter edge in his tone. “If you don’t want to come back… then let me move into your palace. Because there’s no way I can live without you.”

“Stop doing that, Leonardo,” Sofia snapped, her voice trembling with frustration. Her watery eyes met his. “You signed the divorce papers and—”

Leonardo interrupted, stepping forward, his voice thick with emotion. “You wanted me to sign them, angel. It’s not like

    "Put me down, Leonardo," Sofia chided, her voice firm despite the tears still fresh in her eyes."No," Leonardo refused, clutching her tighter, afraid that if he let her go, she’d run from him again — and this time, for good."What are you doing? Everyone is watching," she whined softly, trying not to draw more attention."Let them," he replied without a hint of shame."Put me down," she demanded again, more sternly this time, glaring up at him.Leonardo sighed, reluctantly loosening his grip and gently placing her back on her feet. He cupped her elbow, staying close as if fearing she would disappear if he let her go. “But stay near me. Please. What’s wrong, a

    “I’m giving you one last chance,” the judge said firmly, eyes sharp. “Tell me why you both want this divorce, or I will cancel the application.”A heavy silence fell over the courtroom. The judge’s gaze shifted to Leonardo. “Mr. Morelli?”“I’ll go along with whatever she says,” Leonardo replied, his voice soft and still sounding like a lovestruck husband willing to follow his wife’s word without question.The judge sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. “Mrs. Morelli, please tell me.”Sofia’s voice trembled as she spoke, struggling to keep herself together. “We can’t live together anymore. Please… allow us to divorce.”The judge nodded and, with a frustrated exhale, stamped the papers. “Alright. Divorce granted.”The lawyers exchanged congratulatory smiles and handshakes with their clients. But Leonardo and Sofia? Neither of them was happy — not even close.It was supposed to be the day they’d finally move on, but instead, it felt like the day their dreams shattered. Sofia stared at

    Sofia’s eyes welled up, but she blinked the tears away before they could fall. She turned her gaze toward the window, her voice barely above a whisper.“I know… but not like this. Don’t drag it through the dirt,” she said softly. “Let’s keep it clean—for my children’s sake, and for my family. I don’t want them to suffer because of me… or because of our separation.”She was not protecting him. She was protecting the father of her children. She was protecting the man she once believed in with everything she had. She was not going to be the reason his children hate him.Enrico had no words. He looked at her—this elegant, broken woman sitting before him—conflicted, silent, and fierce in her dignity. He gave a small, slow nod.“All right,” he said quietly. “We’ll file for separation under irreconcilable differences. It will take longer, and we may face court resistance… but we’ll do it your way.”Sofia nodded, her jaw clenched.As Enrico began typing into his computer, she wrapped her arms

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 193. The Man She Loved

    Sofia sat in her lawyer’s office, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as the lawyer explained how he could secure her a divorce and a substantial alimony from her billionaire husband. But Sofia shook her head.“I don’t want anything,” she said quietly.She hadn’t told her father or her children the real reason she left home and started living separately. Her in-laws had tried to persuade her to return, confused and concerned by her sudden departure, but she refused to go back. They questioned her, pressed her to explain what had happened, but she never mentioned her husband’s infidelity. She couldn’t bring herself to tell them. She couldn’t bear to see the man she loved fall from grace in his family’s and children’s eyes.But a few days later, she dropped the bomb—she was filing for divorce. And with that, everyone knew something serious had happened, even if she still refused to speak the truth.Enrico Venturi blinked, visibly stunned. “Come on, Mrs. Morelli,” he said, leaning forw

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 192. Nothing Left

    It took Leonardo a few seconds to snap out of the shock. But when he heard the sound of the suitcase wheels dragging across the marble floor, something inside him snapped.He sprinted down the hall after her, heart pounding, panic rising with every step.“Sofia!” he called out.She didn’t stop. Her back was rigid, her pace furious, and the suitcase rattled behind her like a warning.Leonardo caught up to her and reached out, grabbing her wrist.“Please,” he whispered, breathless, “don’t go.”“Let go of me!” Sofia hissed, twisting her arm to break free. Her eyes were blazing, her voice sharp with fury.“Just—just give me a chance to explain,” he begged, his voice cracked and desperate.“Save it,” she snapped, yanking her arm again. But his grip held firm.“It’s not what you think, angel,” he said softly, trying to meet her eyes.She laughed bitterly. “I’m not blind, Leonardo. Or stupid.” Her voice was sharp with betrayal. “Now let me go. You finally have the chance to be with the woman
