Semua Bab Married to the Mafia: A Wife's Deadly Reckoning: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Angelina could not bear the sounds and obscene images any longer. She grabbed the microphone and hurled it at the nearest screen, shattering the glass with a piercing crash.However, the other screens continued to play the nauseating footage, each one reflecting her most grotesque side like a mirror."Enough! Stop it!" she screamed hysterically, her voice ripping through the night. "Security! Where are the security guards?! Stop these reporters and get them to delete all the photos!"Her custom couture gown was slashed by flying glass, and blood stained the expensive silk, while cuts appeared on her face and left her looking utterly disheveled. The priceless Thorned Heart necklace swung against her chest, mocking her with cruel irony.Of course, the reporters were not about to back down from such a groundbreaking scandal. This was an explosive news piece that could shake the entire high society, a once-in-a-career opportunity.Camera flashes became even more frenzied, capturing ev

Early the next morning, Glenn Justice, the family's senior butler, rushed to the scene, finding Henson sitting lost and devastated among the ruins."Don! Are you alright?"Henson had not slept all night. His clothes were covered in dust and blood, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He sat like a homeless man in the debris, clutching the torn photograph tightly.Hearing the voice, he suddenly looked up, madness flashing in his eyes. He grabbed Glenn by the collar and roared, "Why was the estate burned down? Where is Aurelia?! Tell me where she is!""Don... I don't know!" Glenn trembled, having never seen Henson so out of control. He explained, "Yesterday, Donna Costello gave all the staff time off, saying she wanted to handle some matters alone. We all thought...""You all thought what?" Henson's voice was low and menacing, like that of a wild animal."We thought Donna Costello just wanted some quiet...considering everything that's happened recently... Who cou

"Let go of me." Henson flung Angelina's hand away in disgust, the force sending her stumbling back and nearly falling to the floor. The way he looked at her was like he was staring at something revolting, with no emotion left at all."Aurelia is missing right now, and I have no patience for anything else," he said coldly, his eyes devoid of warmth. "You should stay far away from me."Angelina stared at his resolute back as panic surged through her chest. She knew that without Henson, she would have nothing left. The reporters and enemies would tear her apart piece by piece."Henson, don't let that woman fool you," she cried urgently, her voice sharp and shrill. "She's playing hard to get on purpose. She disappeared just to make you anxious. It's all her trick."Henson paused for a split second, but he did not turn."She's promiscuous!" Angelina's voice grew more hysterical and unhinged. "She was involved with Vincenzo, and now she's gone back to him again. Can't you see it? She ne

Henson questioned, "You drove Aurelia away, didn't you?"Henson's voice trembled, and the resentment he had buried for 10 years finally burst free. His eyes burned with rage, the kind that came from emotions suppressed for far too long."Ever since I was a kid, you treated me like a tool for the family." His voice rose. "You arranged my education, arranged my marriage, arranged my entire life, and now you want to decide which woman I marry, again."Lorenzo looked at him coldly, and the scene turned ugly. The tension in the living room sharpened until even the fire in the fireplace seemed to tremble."A tool?" he scoffed, his voice laden with deep disappointment. "Henson, do you understand what you're saying?""Of course I do," Henson snapped, completely losing control. "You never once asked what I wanted. You only cared about the family business. Back then, you forced me to marry Aurelia, and now you want me to marry Angelina.""The family business?" Lorenzo's voice suddenly turn

Suddenly, the door burst open."Henson!" Angelina rushed in, panic written all over her face. She did not even notice the heavy tension filling the room. Her eyes were flooded with fear, as if she had run all the way there without stopping.Henson frowned tightly, studying her. "How did you find me here? I don't remember telling you my location."Lorenzo glanced at her. Then, he silently sat down, abruptly stopping his conversation. He lifted his whiskey glass, coldly observing the uninvited guest with a hint of disgust. After all, this was a personal matter, and he had no interest in getting involved in such emotional complications.Seeing Lorenzo remain silent, Angelina felt emboldened to speak."I was worried about you... You didn't return my calls all day... I sent countless texts that you never replied to. I thought something might've happened to you," she said between ragged breaths, her voice trembling with tears.She moved to take his hand, but Henson coldly brushed her a
