Leonardo couldn't help but be amused by the sight of Sofia's jealousy. Teasing her had always been a playful pastime, but now, as he witnessed the fiery anger reddening her cheeks, he found himself praying for his safety.

"Wow! You've become quite quick to change, haven't you?" Sofia remarked with a hint of sarcasm. "That day, you had no qualms about dancing with me. But now that I want to dance with you, you remind me that I cannot."

Before Sofia could walk away in a huff, Leonardo firmly grasped her hand, leading her toward the dance floor. With a confident yet gentle touch, he wrapped his arm around her delicate waist, drawing her closer to his frame. The music enveloped them, its rhythm swaying their bodies in synchrony.

His fingers traced a tantalizing path over Sofia's bare shoulders, their descent grazing the soft skin of her arm until they reached her wrist. Guiding her hand to rest on his shoulder, he caressed her cheek with the back of his knuckles, his touch both tender and

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 336. Performance

    “You contacted Fabio again, didn’t you?”The question came out of nowhere—cold, sharp—and it caught Siena completely off guard.“What are you talking about?” she whispered, shock tightening her throat.Cristiano let out a dark, humorless chuckle. “So whenever you talk to your ex-lover, you feel guilty for cheating on me?” His gaze slid over her body slowly, deliberately, from head to toe before he added in a flat voice, “And this was the atonement for your sin.”His face remained unreadable. Empty. Merciless.“I am not a fool, Siena.”Her heart slammed against her ribs.Yes—Fabio had called her today. She had spoken to him. He had insisted on meeting her, claiming he had something important to tell her about her real family. But she had refused. She had no intention of seeing him.Something about it felt wrong.How did he know her family wasn’t her real one? How did he have information about people even Cristiano claimed had committed unforgivable sins? It unsettled her—but she wasn’t

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 335. Feigning Innocence

    Cristiano closed the door instantly and locked it, his heart still pounding hard against his ribs.“What is this, Siena?” he questioned, forcing his voice to sound aloof. But his eyes betrayed him—they dipped slowly, deliberately, glancing at her in a way that was anything but indifferent.The entire room had been transformed into an instrument of seduction. And his wife—his sweet, innocent wife—was lying on the bed like a temptress, clad in that sinful lingerie, leaving nothing to his imagination.His body reacted instantly.For a split second, he imagined rushing to her, pinning her beneath him, tearing the lace away, fucking her hard, and burying himself deep in her until she cried his name.But he didn’t move.He stood there, pretending he wasn’t affected at all.Siena said nothing. Instead, she smiled mischievously and tapped her fingertip against her phone screen. A sensual song began to play softly, filling the room.“Fuck…” Cristiano muttered under his breath.The room was dim

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 334. Their Marriage

    Siena sat alone in her bedroom, her mind trapped in a relentless loop around her husband—and the devastating revelation he had made to her.She still couldn’t believe how her life had turned upside down overnight, as if someone had spun it a full one-eighty. Everything she had believed in, everything she had trusted, now felt fragile… distorted. Like a beautiful illusion that cracked the moment she reached out to touch it.No. That couldn’t be a lie.Her heart refused to accept it—refused to believe that Cristiano had never loved her.Memories rushed back uninvited. From the very beginning of their marriage, when she had never wanted to be here, never wanted this life. And yet, slowly— miraculously —his closeness, his quiet care, had broken down her defenses. Somewhere along the way, she had fallen in love with him without realizing it. He had become her whole world. Her everything.She couldn’t forget how he had fought for her against his own father when Vittorio refused to let her c

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 333. This Time Is Different

    No one in this world had the right to scold the Italian Don. No one—except his mother.And so Cristiano lowered his head in silent defeat and left the room, not because Vittorio deserved mercy, and not because he lacked answers—but because Soraya needed peace. He would rather walk away unanswered than upset her further.For him, Soraya was everything.She had always been.Every choice he made, every line he crossed, every sin he carried—he had done it for her. To give her what she deserved. What had always been rightfully hers. He had never hesitated to stain his hands, never thought twice before destroying anyone who stood in his way.And he never would.No other woman had ever held that place in his cold heart. No one else had the power to silence him with a single word, to make him obey without resistance.Only his mother.Yet as he walked away, another name flickered through his chest—uninvited, dangerous.A name that threatened to shatter everything he believed in—his life, his

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 332. The Wife He Never Noticed

    Cristino couldn’t leave this matter as it was—he needed answers. Just as his father always demanded explanations for everything he did, now it was his turn to question Vittorio Vitelli as the head of the Famiglia.He drew a deep breath and stepped inside.Before heading to his parents’ bedroom, Cristiano had made sure his mother wasn’t there; she was occupied in the kitchen.Vittorio was speaking to someone on the phone, but the moment the door opened, and Cristiano walked in, he hurriedly ended the call. Stress flickered across his face—nervous, tense, as though he already knew why his son had come.And maybe he did. Cristiano had never stepped into this room before. He only ever spoke to his father when summoned, and always in the study—never here, never on his own terms.So Vittorio’s unease was inevitable.Cristiano didn’t speak at first. He simply stood there—hands in his pockets, shoulders squared, tall and intimidating. The silent authority radiating off him made Vittorio’s che

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 331. Vittorio Took Soraya’s side

    Cristiano’s jaw clenched. Lillian shouldn’t have said it aloud. And hell—she shouldn’t have known it at all. His father had crossed the line this time. The Vitelli family never involved the women in famiglia matters. But it was now clear that Vittorio had confided everything to Lillian.However, that wasn’t the problem Cristiano feared. He would deal with his father and his mistress later, yes, he refused to consider her his father’s second wife. Right now, his worry was his mother, who was staring at him as if she had just seen a ghost.“What… what is she talking about, Cris?”Cristiano took a deep breath before turning to his mother. “Mother, let’s go inside. I’ll tell you everything.” Then he glared at his father, who was now avoiding his eyes like a man caught red-handed.“No. Tell me now,” Soraya demanded firmly, though her voice trembled with fear. “Was she talking about Siena? Why would they want to kill her?”“Mother!” Cristiano sighed, closing his eyes. “It’s famiglia business
