All Chapters of Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

It's been a week since the funeral, and everything seemed to be peaceful at the Retroferd Estate. Raina has been bonding with Angelo and the little guy has been getting closer and emotionally attached to her. Today is Raina's first appointment to check how the baby is doing. Surprisingly she slept soundly and the one that was restless was Maxton.He woke up very earlier than usual and before 5AM, he was already dressed and was pacing restlessly in the bedroom.He kept checking his watch while staring at Raina's peaceful sleeping face. He wanted her to sleep until 7AM, because he read that good sleep is very important for pregnant women.As soon as the clock struck 7, he gently sat on the bed and ran his hand through Raina's messy hair. Then he kissed the tip of her nose and forehead, before gently tapping her hand.“Mi amor, get up It's time. We need to go to the hospital on time, the appointment is by 9 and I have a very important meeting by 11." He gently whispered into her ear wi

Upon hearing Lorenzo's name, Raina stood frozen for several seconds, staring at Elise in disbelief.Elise misunderstood her silence. Thinking Raina didn't believe her, she burst into tears and turned to leave.However, Raina caught her hand again."Elise, you have no reason to lie to me about my brother being the person who took advantage of you. I believe you. What I don't understand is why he would do such a thing. How could he do something so disgraceful and shameful?"Raina tightened her hold on Elise's hand."Come with me, Elise. You're coming with me to the Valente mansion. My brother will give you an explanation today. I want to hear it from him myself."Elise immediately shook her head in panic."No, Raina! Please, I don't want to go back there!""Elise—""Please, don't make me go back!" she begged. "It took so much for me to escape from that mansion. I don't want to return there. I don't want to have anything to do with that family anymore."Tears streamed down her face as sh

Hearing Lorenzo's words, Raina's heart clenched painfully. She felt tears gathering in her eyes as she looked at her brother.She gently held his face between her hands."Lorenzo, look at me."He slowly raised his head and met her eyes."Nothing like that is ever going to happen again. What happened back then was all because of our evil uncle, Maxwell. But he's dead now and he can't hurt you anymore, and he definitely can't take anyone else away from you."Lorenzo nodded slowly, but the pain in his eyes remained."You know what?" he said quietly. "I still have nightmares about that day. I still see her face whenever I close my eyes, and no matter how hard I try, I can't forget what happened."He swallowed hard, his voice growing heavier with emotion."I don't want anything like that to happen again…I really don't. I want this baby, Raina. I want the child so badly, and I hope Elise decides to keep it."He paused, looking down at his hands."If she does, I'll take responsibility for bo

Elise's eyes widened in shock when she heard the amount her mother was demanding.Twenty-five million dollars?She stared at the woman in disbelief, unable to comprehend how her own mother could demand such an outrageous sum in exchange for leaving her alone. She opened her mouth to speak, but Lorenzo stopped her."It's okay," he whispered reassuringly.He waited until Elise fell silent before turning back to her mother."Are you promising that if I give you twenty-five million dollars, you'll stay away from Elise forever?"The woman's eyes lit up."Yes! Of course!" she answered quickly, nodding her head. "Just give me the money, and you'll never see me again. Whatever happens to her life after that is none of my business."Lorenzo studied her face for a moment before nodding.Then, to Elise's surprise, he slowly removed the expensive wristwatch from his wrist and held it out to the woman.She stared at him in confusion before shifting her gaze to the watch."What is this?" she asked

Carlos wasted no time. He immediately tried to trace the number Bailey had used to call Marcus, but his efforts proved futile.The number was untraceable.He sighed in frustration and turned toward Marcus, who stood near the door with an anxious expression."It's best you come to me immediately if she calls again," Carlos advised. "That way, we can try to trace the number while the call is still ongoing."Marcus nodded and took a deep breath.What on earth was he supposed to do now?He had hoped Bailey's call would give them a lead, but it seemed they were back to square one.Carlos watched his younger brother's dejected expression and sighed.There was only so much they could do if Bailey continued making things difficult for them.He turned toward one of the men standing nearby."Have Don Valente and Lorenzo left?"The man immediately nodded.Carlos stood up and headed toward the main villa to check on Raina and Angelo. Maxton had left him behind specifically to protect them, and he
