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

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 227. Control Freak

    “Why can’t I leave the mansion?” Siena snapped.“We have orders,” the guard replied curtly.“You can’t stop me,” she said sharply, trying to push past him—but the guard stepped in front of her, blocking the exit.“Please, ma’am,” the head guard said, his tone strained but still respectful, “don’t make us get rough. If the senior Vitelli boss gives permission, then you can leave.”After all, she was now married to Cristiano Vitelli—the new head of the Vitelli family—and no one wanted to risk disrespecting her.“Why is that rule only for me? Why can Elena go to college, but I can’t even step outside?” she demanded.Silence.The guards stood stiffly, eyes averted, refusing to answer.“Tell me!” she yelled, her voice rising in fury.Elena quickly stepped forward, her face drawn with concern, gently touching Siena’s arm in an attempt to calm her down.“We’re just following orders, ma’am,” one of the guards muttered in a flat, indifferent tone.“Siena, let’s go inside,” Elena urged softly,

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 226. Twisted Family

    “Umm, she’s a model,” Elena replied, eyes avoiding Siena’s as she pretended to focus on her breakfast.“A model?” Siena repeated, unconvinced. “Then why did your brother leave with her?”“She works for Cris’s company too. Maybe they had some business to discuss,” Elena shrugged, her voice cool, too casual. Siena gave a slow nod.Suddenly, a sharp shriek cut through the air, startling her.“Don’t you dare ruin your brother’s wife, turning her into someone like you, you useless brat!”It was Soraya — looming above them from the upper floor, her sharp eyes blazing as she clutched the ornate banister, glaring down like a queen passing judgment. Siena instinctively glanced up, but Elena’s hand gripped her thigh under the table. A subtle shake of her head told Siena not to look.After huffing, Soraya went back to her room. Siena turned to Elena and asked, “Why is your mother so bitter?”“It’s our family tragedy,” Elena sighed. Growing up in a family that looked perfect from the outside but

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 225. His Girlfriend

    Cristiano descended the stairs and came face to face with an all-too-familiar scene—one that had become a regular part of his mornings in this mansion. His mother stood there in a designer nightgown, her hair loose, dark circles under her eyes, and bitterness dripping from her mouth as she hurled curses at her daughter for the simple crime of being born. Elena stood silently with her head lowered, trying to swallow both her pride and her breakfast down her throat.Liliana had two sons, while she had only one, and sometimes Soraya believed that was why Vittorio loved Liliana more and spent more time with her.Cristiano remained indifferent to the chaos unfolding before him, walking past them without a glance—until his mother grabbed his arm, stopping him.“Cris,” she said in a desperate voice, “your father didn’t return home last night, even though it was his turn to stay at our mansion.”“I’ll talk to him,” he replied impassively, not even sparing her a glance.“No, you have to make h

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 224. Morning Make Out

    The cold metal against her warm skin made her scream, her eyes squeezing shut in horror.She felt his breath—hot and heavy—fanning her face, and the unmistakable weight of his body pressing down on her.Slowly, she dared to peek through her lashes… and froze.She was lying beneath him—her husband—his solid, muscular body pressed against hers. Every inch of him hard, heavy, and far too close.“Fuck, you would’ve get killed yourself,” he muttered, his voice hoarse and thick with sleep, that deep, raspy accent somehow making it sound even sexier.God. Now she understood what people meant when they said danger was seductive.She was under threat, a gun still near her head… and yet, here she was, noticing how ridiculously hot he looked?Great.Just great. Now it was official—her brain was broken.“Don’t ever try that again, okay?” he rasped, and Siena’s eyes were drawn to the movement of his full, pink lips.Her own parted instinctively—and the next moment, she felt the cold touch of the g

    guided Siena to sit in the passenger seat as he took the wheel. The moment he started the ignition, the car roared to life and raced down the road, cutting through the night air.Siena sat in silence, her mind replaying Gino’s words on a loop. He married her to secure the inheritance. Of course. Why else would he marry her? He wasn’t in love with her—just like she wasn’t in love with him. It was nothing personal. So it shouldn’t hurt. It shouldn’t matter.She took a deep breath and kept her gaze fixed on the passing landscape, though she wasn’t really seeing anything. Her nervous heart refused to settle, unease clawing inside her chest.She had never stayed away from home before—not without her mother. And now she was supposed to start a new life with a man she barely knew.It was the scariest thing she had ever done. And the worst part? There was no one to tell her how to do it.She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even realize the car had stopped in front of a giant ma

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 222. The Chaos

    “Don’t you fucking say a word, Gino.”Cristiano’s menacing threat rang through the air.Siena’s eyes widened as she turned to him—his body visibly trembling with rage, fists clenched tightly at his sides, and his eyes... a murderous red, glowing with fury. If looks could kill, Gino would’ve dropped dead on the spot.“I dare you to stop me,” Gino challenged with a filthy smirk before turning back to Siena. “You might not know this yet, but you were nothing more than a pawn—just a way for him to secure the inheritance. But if you had married me—”He couldn’t finish his sentence. Cristiano shoved him hard, pinning him against the nearest wall. A split second later, a gun was pressed to Gino’s forehead.Siena gasped. She had never seen a gun in her life.“Vittorio! Look what your asshole son is doing to our son!” Lilliana screamed in horror.Everyone froze. Faces turned pale. Eyes wide with shock. The entire room was gripped by fear.Oh God, what was happening here? She had never imagined
