The Mafia's Substitute Bride 141
Lucas didn’t spare her a glance as he grabbed a chair from beside the desk and dragged it over, the scraping sound against the floor making her flinch. He sat and fixed his gaze on her like he wasn’t sure whether to start yelling or say something worse.Then he sat, resting one arm on the edge of the chair.“At this rate, if we don’t get this over with,” he muttered, “you’re going to cause another trouble.”She blinked, her mouth parting slightly trying to understand what he meant by that.“What…?” she breathed, trying to make sense of it.

Lucas remained at the top of the staircase for a few seconds, watching as they crossed the hallway and stepped out into the sunlit driveway. He walked down slowly, his expression unreadable. The men turned back to shake his hand, each offering a courteous nod before they disappeared outside the door. Ignoring both women.“Go wait upstairs,” he said to Valentina, eyes not sparing her a glance longer than a second.Her throat tightened and she reluctantly gave a small nod, biting her bottom lip to keep herself from saying anything she might regret. Her feet moved almost automatically, and she didn’t stop until she was back in his room, sitting on the edge of the bed with her palms flat against her thighs. Her heart raced for reasons she couldn’t begin to explain, was it sha

She was just halfway down the stairs when the doorbell rang, and the sound echoed a little too loudly in the quiet house, pulling her out of her thoughts. For a second, she paused, unsure whether to ignore it. But the ringing came again, impatient this time.She opened the door — and nearly rolled her eyes into another lifetime.What the fuck was Bianca doing here?The woman looked exactly like someone whose life had been dipped in gold and soaked in blood. She wore a silk blouse tucked into high-waisted tailored pants, a pair of red-bottom heels, and designer sunglasses perched on her forehead despite the indoor lighting. If someone were to paint a portrait of a rich drug lord’s widow, Bianca would be the perfect muse, Then she was married to a drug lord and became one herself when her husband was brutally and gruesomely murdered by whoever.It wasn't new story, everyone already knew by now what went down and even at this year and days, half of Italy still has suspicions, they still

Lucas was asleep when she crept in quietly, the tray balanced carefully in her hands as she pushed the door open with her shoulder. His room was dim, the curtains drawn halfway, allowing the morning light to slip in just enough to paint soft shadows across the floor. His breathing was deep and steady, his body still, the bedsheet loosely covering his frame. She shut the door slowly behind her and tiptoed across the room, setting the tray gently on the nightstand. The first aid kit was neatly tucked at the side of the plate, the glass of juice still cold with condensation, a small bowl of grapes resting beside it. The previous breakfast was still, she didn’t expect him to eat anyway, not after everything, but it felt right to bring something anyway.She stood there for a second, unsure if she should leave, then turned back and walked around the bed. Gently, she sat at the edge, then crawled up slowly, lying beside him as if she belonged there. When she reached for his hand—the bruised,

She couldn’t take it anymore.The silence in the house was gnawing at her nerves, and the weight of her own thoughts had grown too heavy to carry. Lucas hadn't stepped out of his room once since the incident with Stefan, and with every hour that passed, Valentina’s anxiety only deepened. She had intended to explain everything today—everything about the documents, the signatures, the truth—but now, with Lucas like this, she didn’t even know if she’d get the chance without having her head bitten off.Instead, she faced the bigget problem. Her mother needed her at the moment, everything could wait. It would be hard getting a loan under a short time, especially without collateral.&nb

The blow landed with a sound that silenced the room.Stefan staggered back, arms flying out as he tried to find balance, but the busted lip and blood trickling from the side of his mouth said it all. His wife gasped, one hand flying to her lips while the other gripped his arm as he held onto the side table. Lucas didn’t move. He stood there, chest rising and falling, eyes burning through the man like he was considering whether or not to throw another one for good measure."Next time you let that mouth run," Lucas bit out in a threatening tone, "I'll be kind enough to blow her head off and make you a widower again. Let’s see how much louder you'll scream then."Valentina mouth opened but nothing came out.
