All Chapters of The Mafia Widow's Revenge : Chapter 181 - Chapter 185

ELENAI had no idea what was happening to me whenever I was around DeLuca. I’d been with men before Lorenzo, but with DeLuca… it was different. I couldn’t explain it. He unnerved me, and yet, he intrigued me.He was everything Lorenzo wasn’t.I’d been married to Lorenzo for four years, yet just days after his death, it felt like I’d been married to a stranger. Like I’d been living with a mask, never seeing the man underneath. But with DeLuca? With him, it felt like I’d known him all my life.Still, the question haunted me:Who ordered the hit on Lorenzo?And truthfully, the deeper I dug, the more I wondered if Lorenzo even deserved the loyalty I was giving him now. But I had made a promise—to myself, to the truth—and I hadn’t gone back on that. Not once.My hand drifted to my lips as the memory of last night’s kiss hit me. I could still feel his hands on me… the heat, the urgency. I’d pulled him closer, wanting more, needing more. And now, even as I sat quietly in the car, staring ahe

ELENA I’d seen enough to make me walk out.Sitting in that warehouse, watching the scene unfold, I had wished it were Dante screaming and begging for his life the way Louie had.But this war had evolved into a matter of survival.

But today, the room felt different—brighter, lighter.The curtains were drawn open, letting sunlight flood in. There were fewer wires now. Fewer machines. Less of that quiet, heavy dread.Ava sat propped up in bed, her hair brushed and tied neatly

ELENA "Speechless" didn’t even begin to describe what I felt in that moment. Sitting across from DeLuca, I realized something unsettling—he wasn’t going to save me from his brother. Not this one.I had come here strictly for business. Ever since Sarah’s accident, I’d been sleeping with one eye open. Dante Moretti was still out there. After checking his apartment and finding it empty, DeLuca was my only remaining option. Our contract hadn’t expired, and like it or not, he was still part of the deal."I know it’s none of my business to meddle in your personal life,” the man beside me said casually, “but my brother needs a woman like you—not someone as shallow as his other girlfriend.”"Ex-girlfriend," DeLuca corrected, speaking for the first time since I walked in."We're not dating," I added coolly. “We’re just business partners.”I glanced over in time to see the smirk vanish from the young man's face.
