66. Diego's Scheme
Matteo's whole body was suddenly stiff and nervous after hearing the stranger's words. Matteo watched Diego's back and the stranger beside him walk away. In his mind, Matteo questioned who the stranger was who suddenly said the painting was a fake.
"What did he say?" asked Eston, interrupting Matteo's thoughts.Matteo immediately smiled stiffly at Eston. Of course he could not let Eston be swayed by the stranger's words."Sir, he may have just been joking," Matteo said, trying to reassure Eston.Eston shifted his gaze from looking at Diego and the stranger's backs, to looking at Matteo. The look of doubt on his face instantly faded and he returned to arching a proud smile."That's right. Why should we think about it? It is also possible that Diego took the man away because he wanted to reprimand him," Eston replied, nodding his head twice.Hearing that suddenly made Matteo breathe a sigh of relief. Because Matteo would not have bRelated chapters
The Mafia's Wife Replacement 1. Uninvited Guests
Thunderclap broke the thick night sky of Naples, Italy. Raindrop roared, submerging the noise of night life glitter in a part of that city, Vomero district.A tall lady with straight bob haircut could be seen slamming the table in Vomero’s well-known discotheque’s VIP room.“You can’t do this to me! Don’t think I’m the same with stupid whores you’ve been sleeping with until now!” she yelled rudely.A man whose face hidden by his black fedora could only giggle in response to the anger spilled by that woman.“I am Vellina, sole daughter of Pacnozzi clan. Don’t take me for a fool! Do you think I can’t destroy you?” continued that woman named Vellina.Half-hearted response given by that man really made her upset. Up until now, no man dared to underestimate her.“Just you wait until I expose everything to my father! You will be finished! Do you hear me? You will be finished!” ended Vellina before finally she reached her small purse on top of the table and left.Vellina slammed the door of

Diego froze on his place for a moment, while watching the woman who just came from God knew where. Behind that woman, there was a girl who looked far younger than her.Both of them rushed to approach Laura, who welcomed them to her embrace.The younger girl directly threw herself into her mother’s embrace and looked at Diego with horror in her eyes.Meanwhile, the woman who spoke loudly before came closer to her father, who was being seized by Diego’s henchmen.“Release my father at once! Or I will contact the police to arrest all of you!” she said while pointing at Diego’s subordinates with the phone in her hand.Diego tried his best to hold his laughter back to hear that woman’s threat. It had been way too long time since he was threatened that way.“Relax, Missy. I have an important affair with your father. No need to cry to the police, they already have their hands full with other stuffs,” said Diego, pretending to persuade her.“If you guys really have something to do with my fat

“What do you mean, Sir?” asked Enrico in confusion.Before Diego could answer Enrico’s question, Fabian appeared; his clothes all drenched wet.Diego turned to have a look at Fabian without even once loosening his tight grip on Stellina’s arm.Fabian was so shocked as if he was seeing ghost, when his gaze accidentally met Stellina’s. She resembled his Boss’ wife so much.Diego cleared his throat to snatch Fabian’s attention back to him.“Sorry, Boss. I had no time to change my clothes because I wanted to make it here as fast as possible,” reasoned Fabian, as if disguising his apology behind a formal report.“I understand. Now, do you understand why do I need you here?” asked Diego with his ice-cold voice.Fabian scanned around the entire room to digest down the situation happening.When his eyes made their way back to Diego, his boss nodded his head up, as if anticipating what kind of decision Fabian would take.Without any words, Fabian took out a gun with a silencer behind his suit.

“You must be joking,” said Stellina when she woke up from her astonishment.Diego shook his head again, this time with a melancholy look in his face. Without saying any words, Diego took out the phone from his pocket.That man with sharp nose and dimple dialled a phone number in his phone and made a video call.“Yes, Sir. Gina’s here.” A middle-aged lady in maid outfit could be seen answering that video call.“How is Arianna’s condition?” asked Diego with his natural sorrowful face.That video call changed into back camera view, where it showed a little girl with a straight, jet-black hair, shivering in her sleep.Diego showed that view to Stellina. That woman accepted the phone given by Diego although her hands were trembling in anticipation. She didn’t understand why Diego showed that thing to her.“Her name is Arianna, my beloved little girl,” Diego started to explain.“It has been a week she is having a high fever and seizures. Have a listen to what she says in her sleep, she keep

Diego and Stellina exchanged no words when they had been inside the car going to Stellina’s house.“What should I do now?” asked Stellina, breaking the silence. Diego took a glimpse to that woman.“I will change your look so you will really look like Vellina before I invite you into our mansion,” answered Diego.“How long should I pretend to be your wife?” interrogated Stellina sharply.She caught from Diego’s statement earlier that that man intended to fool everyone by covering her true identity.“Approximately a year. I need time to tell my daughter, also my father-in-law about Vellina’s death,” lied Diego.“They don’t know about her death?” asked Vellina puzzled.“That accursed accident happened just this evening. Her car sank in the swift current of Oglio River. Her body was nowhere to be found, perhaps it was already flown to the sea,” replied Diego without any hint of sadness in his face.Stellina felt there was something odd because Diego had no care about his wife’s body and a
The Mafia's Wife Replacement 6. His Plan
Diego's car has arrived at the hospital belonging to the Ludovicci Family. Neither Diego nor Stellina immediately rushed out of the car. Now, it's time for Stellina to play a role she has never done before."Hey, you have to do it seriously." Diego suddenly spoke in the middle of the silence of his car.Stellina averted her eyes after she had been busy looking out the window. Seeing Diego's serious expression made Stellina shudder a little. But to be honest, Stellina's worries were less than before because she thought Diego was a fraud."Do I really have to be in the hospital like this?" asked Stellina in a squeaky tone, showing her concern.Diego glanced at Fabian who was in the driver's side seat. They both didn't say anything at all. After a split second, Diego let out a rough sigh."You shouldn't question anything, let alone protest."Stellina almost let slip sneer at Diego hearing that sarcastic answer. Even though there were still many things she wanted to ask, Stellina chose to

It was then that Stellina suddenly realized that what she had said was wrong. Stellinana turned quickly to Diego who was looking at her doubtfully, then shook her head immediately."It's not that I won't do well with your request, but… if there's someone sick in this room, your patient, they definitely won't feel sick. I see."Hearing Stellina's explanation that sounded a bit nervous made Diego not just say yes. Diego still squinted his eyes slightly, guessing Stellina's gesture: whether she was lying or not."I'm telling the truth," Stellina said again when she understood Diego's suspicions.Then Diego pointed his finger at Stellina's face. "Don't let my plan fail miserably if you can't act properly," he replied later.Stellina nodded obediently like a child. Without any further conversation, when Stellina wanted to ask about the two sisters who had just finished preparing the infusion, Diego suddenly pointed his palm at her."Please put the infusion into her hand," said Diego, which

Fabian was a little hesitant to sit next to Stellina. But because at that time Stellina was constantly patting the spot next to him, Fabian was forced to say yes.After sitting beside Stellina—Fabian deliberately took five inches away while exhaling roughly, Fabian was silent for a moment. She doesn't know what Fabian think. Stellina felt that Fabian seemed to be remembering something."If it's too difficult and you're still grieving over his passing, it's better not to need to explain in detail," said Stellina later. The way zhs spoke was so subtle that Fabian looked at her in disbelief."Do you always speak softly like that?" asked Fabian who looked at Stellina in astonishment.Stellina raised her eyebrows, confused. "You mean?""You speak very softly," Fabian answered and clarified what he meant, "and Miss Vellina never spoke softly like that."Suddenly Stellina was surprised. "Is that so? My voice sounds so smooth?"Fabian nodded calmly, in contrast to Stellina who was suddenly e
