“You have five minutes,” Stefano said to her, his voice low and controlled.

She didn’t argue. Just turned and walked away. Knowing him, he was probably serious about the time.

She approached one of the waiters, her voice polite but hurried. “Where’s the bathroom?”

The waiter pointed, and she followed the direction, her heart already racing. The women’s bathroom was large, lined with stalls and softly lit mirrors. She walked over to the sink, standing there, pretending to fix her hair while watching the door.

It didn’t take long. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the flash of flaming red hair.

Her mother. Her mother was walking over to the sink but she didn't pay attention to her.

She stood at the sink beside her, calmly washing her hands, still completely unaware.

Elisa's breath caught in her throat. She leaned forward slightly.

“Mother,” she whispered.

Her mother’s head snapped up, her eyes wide. “Elisa?” she gasped.

Without hesitation, her mother moved toward her and wrapped

  • The mafia boss forbidden bride   Chapter Twenty Five

    The car ride to the estate was quiet. Not that Elisa would have made any sound. Her lips were pressed into a tight line, her body curled into herself like she was trying to disappear. She could feel Stefano’s fury simmering beside her. Her stomach churned. Why was he even angry that she tried to escape? It wasn’t like he cared for her. He didn’t love her. He just wanted her close enough to torture. The car suddenly slowed and pulled over at a curb. Elisa’s brows furrowed as she straightened, glancing around nervously. “Where are we?” she asked, voice barely above a whisper. “Come out from the car.” Stefano didn’t even spare her a glance as he stepped out from his side. Confused and wary, Elisa slowly got out too. Her eyes darted around until they landed on a flashy club. Loud music pulsed from inside. A long queue of people waited to get in, but Stefano strode straight to the entrance where two bulky guards stood like statues. The second the guards spotted him, their express

    “Come, let’s go.” He gripped her arm—hard—and dragged her out of the hall without waiting for a response. Elisa’s heart thudded painfully against her ribs. Her stomach twisted. When she’d defied Stefano by changing her dress, she really thought she wouldn’t have to go back. But now—God—she knew better. The punishment would come, and it would be worse than ever. Panic clawed at her chest. No. She couldn’t go back to that house. She’d rather sleep on the cold street than set foot in that estate again. She kept praying—Please, just give me a chance to escape. They reached his car—a sleek black Mercedes. The back door opened, and he shoved her inside before sliding in beside her. She stared out the window, eyes flicking to the roads, watching. Hoping. This might be my only chance, she thought. I just need to get it right. The city sped by until the road became more crowded. She turned to him, clutching her stomach, her face pale. “I don’t feel so good,” she mumbled, voice shaky.

    Elisa took thirty minutes to find a more suitable and decent gown in her wardrobe before changing into it. Satisfied with her appearance, she finally headed downstairs to the already impatient driver. She entered the Maserati, and they took off for the venue.When they finally arrived, even from inside the car, she could see Stefano standing outside, visibly frustrated. She took a deep breath and stepped out. The driver had also gotten out and walked over to meet Stefano.“You’re late,” he said in that low, menacing tone that could make anyone shiver.“Sorry, Don Stefano. We were held up by traffic.”Elisa did a double take. Elisa’s brows furrowed. Don? The title rang in her ears. Don Stefano? Don? Why was he being addressed like that? She glanced quickly at the driver, but his face was lowered, respectful—fearful. Before she could process it, Stefano’s eyes found her and trailed the length of her body. His already irritated expression shifted into one of anger. He was now staring at

    Three days passed by in the same ritual—wake up, pray Stefano had already left, eat, read, eat again, read, eat dinner, pray he wouldn’t enter her room, and sleep. Luckily, she hadn’t seen Stefano in all that time. Kate, the elderly maid, had become the closest thing she had to a companion. They were now on a first-name basis. Though she still wasn’t allowed to leave the mansion, she had at least been to the patio. She had also learned a few things about the mansion. There were armed guards everywhere—men with actual guns. She knew Stefano was wealthy, but wasn’t that a bit excessive? When she’d asked Kate about it, her mood had instantly changed. Another thing she’d learned: questions weren’t welcome. She had tried befriending one of the kitchen maids, but the moment she asked about the Bellucci family, the maid shut down completely and stopped speaking to her. Elisa had sensed something was off since the wedding, but now she was certain. She kept thinking about what Stefano had t

    Elisa woke up early the next day. At first, she was groggy but then memories of last night rushed into her head. She sat up straighter and looked around the roo. Stefano hadn't come for her like he said. She wondered if it was because she was asleep. She sighed in relief that she had been spared last night and got out from bed to prepare for the day. Fear still clung to her from the threats Stefano made the night before, and she didn’t want to risk provoking him again. Without waiting to be summoned, she went for breakfast of her own free will. The dining room was empty. Stefano wasn’t there. She sat quietly, and her meal was served. A few minutes later, the same maid from yesterday entered and spoke calmly. “Mr. Bellucci had to skip breakfast. He has an important meeting this morning.” Elisa didn’t reply. She simply nodded and continued eating. But het heart was dancing with joy. Not only won't she have to face him but now, she would be able to escape without having his watchful
