All Chapters of Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride: Chapter 521 - Chapter 530

Lucia woke before the sun. She showered, dressed, and stood in front of the mirror in the wine-red dress that finally fit, though it was still a little tight at the waist. She stared at her reflection, smiled slightly, then walked to the children's room.Leo and Aurora were already awake, dressed neatly—Leo in a white shirt and black trousers, Aurora in a light blue dress she had chosen herself. Loris was still in bed, but already awake, with the blue crutch beside him."Today is Dad's day," Lucia said, sitting on the edge of Loris's bed. "Are you ready?""Yes." Loris smiled. "I've finished my drawing.""Good." Lucia kissed his forehead. "Now, all of you must get ready. The guests will arrive at twelve."The party was lively. More lively than Lucia had imagined. The De Luca family came from various cities—Alexandro's cousins from Milan, the old aunts from Naples, the uncle from Sicily whom he hadn't seen in years. Even Marco and Silvia came—Silvia already looked better, though still a

"Madam Lucia, sorry to disturb you. Miss Aurora is looking for you."I stood up at once. "Aurora? Where is she?""In the living room, Madam. She's been crying since she found out Mr. Loris is missing."I had almost forgotten that my other two children were also in this mansion. They must be terrified, just like me."I'll go to her," I said to Alexandro.He nodded, then held my hand for a moment."Don't worry about anything except yourself and the children. I'll handle the search for Loris."I left him in the study and hurried to the living room.As soon as I arrived, I saw Aurora sitting on the sofa with her face wet with tears. Her light blue dress was wrinkled, while both her hands clutched a small doll she always carried when she felt afraid."Mommy!"She ran straight to me.I knelt and opened my arms. Aurora crashed into my embrace, then sobbed against my chest."Mommy, where is Loris? Why isn't he in his room? I've been looking for him, but he's not there!"I held her tightly, st

Alexandro's POV.I stared at the photo on my phone screen, trying to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.Leo sat beside Loris. Both my sons' faces looked pale, and Loris was holding his blue crutch tightly. They were in a room with concrete walls and dim lighting.However, it wasn't the condition of my two sons that made me uneasy.The man standing behind them was someone I knew.Someone who shouldn't possibly be in that place."Impossible," I muttered."Sir?" My security chief approached. "Do you recognize the person in the photo?"I didn't answer right away. I zoomed in on the image, studying the face of the man standing behind my children.His hair was beginning to turn white at the temples. His face was thinner than the last time I had seen him, but the small scar near his left eyebrow was still the same.I couldn't possibly mistake him."Prepare the car," I ordered finally. "I want a fully armed team ready in five minutes.""Where are we going, Sir?"I showed him the

Alexandro's POVThe black car sped through the night streets. I sat in the back seat, holding Leo and Loris, who were still in my embrace.But when I looked at Loris's pale face and Leo's body occasionally trembling—Anyone who dared to touch my children would pay for what they had done.I glanced at Leo. His head rested on my arm, but his eyes were still open. Since leaving the warehouse, he hadn't said much. His fingers kept clutching the edge of my jacket, as if afraid I would leave him."Leo."He looked up at once."Yes, Dad?""You don't need to be afraid anymore. We'll be home soon."He nodded slightly, but I knew he wasn't truly calm yet.I stroked his hair, then kissed Loris's forehead as he slept exhaustedly against my chest."Rest. I'm here."Leo looked down again.A few minutes later, the car entered the mansion gates. The guards immediately cleared the way, while several servants still awake ran toward our vehicle.I hadn't even had time to open the door when someone ran fr

Alexandro's POV"I'm not lying, Alexandro. I swear on my son's life."Miller was still kneeling before me. His face was wet with tears, while both his hands trembled. For the first time since meeting him, I didn't see hatred in his eyes. All I saw was a father terrified of losing his child.I was silent for a moment, then turned to my security chief."Find out where Daniel is being treated. Contact his hospital and request the complete medical report. I want to verify everything myself.""Yes, Sir."I looked at Miller again."Stand up. I'm going to see your son."Miller raised his face in disbelief."You really want to meet him?""Don't make me change my mind."He got up at once, wiping his face with both hands. I saw how exhausted the man was. His suit was worn, his hair disheveled, and his body looked thinner than it should have been.However, I had not forgotten what he had done.He had kidnapped both my sons, made my wife cry all night, and turned my birthday into a nightmare.
