All Chapters of Not Yours To Claim, My Mafia Ex: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Listen to you, Alberto—still drunk on your own confidence,” Rita snapped at her brother, her tone sharp with contempt. “That same damn confidence almost cost us everything. If I hadn’t thought clearly and acted in time, we’d still be rotting and living in poverty.”Vittoria scowled. “Don’t forget—without us, you wouldn’t have been able to execute your plan.”“You supported it because it benefited you, Vittoria,” Rita sneered smugly.Neither Vittoria nor Alberto argued back. They simply clenched their teeth, simmering in silence.Rita was Laura’s mother—and Rosa’s aunt on her father’s side. Carlo Bellini, Rosa’s father, had been the eldest of them all. Alberto and Rita were his half-siblings, yet Carlo had never treated them any differently. He had given them everything.That blind trust had cost him his life—and everything he owned.“Why are you so anxious just because Rosa is back in town?” Alberto asked calmly.“She’s not the same girl anymore,” Rita admitted, her voice tightening.

Luciano didn’t even look at him—as if Reid hadn’t spoken at all. He lifted his whiskey glass and drained it in one brutal swallow before refilling it again.Reid watched him, frustration tightening his chest. He knew how stubborn Luciano Mancini was—how effortlessly he masked his emotions, how easily he let the world believe he was a heartless monster. But Reid knew better. He alone had seen Luciano at his weakest, in moments when no one else was allowed near him.The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating. Reid couldn’t let it go—not after last night. Not after Luciano had dragged Rosa into his club, forced her to witness things she never should have seen… even pushed her to try drugs.What the hell had possessed him?“Luciano,” Reid said again, exhaling sharply. The drink in his hand remained untouched as he swirled it absentmindedly, his eyes never leaving the Italian Don.“Did you forget why you used to call her Rosie?” he continued, voice tight. “Hmm? Your Rosie, Luciano.”He st

Early that morning, Luciano’s grandmother’s condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. She began struggling to breathe and was rushed to the hospital immediately. As soon as Luciano received the news, he raced there.His grandfather was already by his wife's side, but the moment Luciano entered the VVIP ward, the older man averted his gaze. He remained furious, refusing to be on speaking terms ever since Luciano had divorced Rosa against his wishes. In the grandfather's eyes, Luciano had failed his commitment to his best friend by failing to take care of his granddaughter.After speaking personally with the senior-most doctors, Luciano learned that his grandmother had stabilized and was now sleeping. The entire floor had been reserved for the family, ensuring she received the highest level of care. Once he was certain she was out of danger, Luciano stole a quick glance at her through the door. Since he had walked out of an urgent meeting to get there, and with the tension in the ro

The hospital corridor was a blur of sterile white and frantic movement. Lucy’s heart hammered against her ribs; she had already called Rosa, and the guilt of losing sight of Renzo was eating her alive. When the automatic doors hissed open, Rosa practically sprinted in, her face pale and her breathing ragged.“Lucy! Is he found? Did you find Renzo?” Rosa’s voice was high-pitched, teetering on the edge of a breakdown.“No, we’re still searching every floor,” Lucy replied, her hands shaking as she gestured to the empty hallway.“Still searching?” Rosa’s worry snapped into a sharp, defensive anger. “What the hell is happening here? He’s a sick child! Where could he possibly go?”“Calm down, R

“Alright, stay with Renzo while I go see the doctor about the discharge and the follow-up appointments,” Rosa said.Lucy nodded with a heavy sigh. “I feel bad for Dr. De Luca.”Rosa paused, shooting her a confused look. “What do you mean?”Lucy smiled sadly. “The poor guy could have any woman he wants, but he’s hung up on you.”“Not again, Lucy,” Rosa replied, rolling her eyes in exasperation.“Seriously, Rosa. If I were in your place, I wouldn’t have let him go. He is a gem, and you’re making a mistake by breaking his heart.” Lucy sounded genuinely frustrated by her friend’s stubbornness.“It’s better for both of us,” Rosa whispered, the desperation peaking in her voice. “There was no future for us—at least not from my side. He would only have gotten hurt. You hadn't seen how angry Luciano was just seeing him near me; otherwise, you wouldn't have said this. I can’t risk him getting harmed. He is the only doctor who can treat Renzo. I need him... and I need him to be safe.”Then Lucy r
