บททั้งหมดของ The Mafia's Princess: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

The safe house had never felt so silent.Behind the closed bedroom door, Isabella's mother knelt beside the bed, her hands were clasped tightly.Her eyes were closed.And she prayed."Please, God..."Her voice trembled."Please don't let this be true."A tear slipped down her cheek."She's still so young.""She doesn't know what she's doing.""Please..."She pressed a hand against her chest."Don't let this child tie her to this kind of life forever."Her voice broke."Not after everything we've survived."Outside the room, footsteps approached.Isabella sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the floor.Two of the safe house physicians had examined her after the sudden nausea and conducted the necessary tests.Now, they were waiting for the results.Isabella's fingers were intertwined tightly in her lap.She couldn't stop thinking about Lorenzo.He had promised.I'll come back.Those words had replayed inside her mind all day.But he hadn't called.He hadn't sent a message.No

Valeria looked at Alessandro."Who do you think? Valenti guards?""I don't know."The vehicle was getting closer.Alessandro grabbed Valeria's arm."We need to move."As they were about to disappear into the bushes together, a familiar voice came from the approaching vehicle."Alessandro Valenti?!!!"Alessandro squinted his eyes so he could see who was calling.The vehicle slowed as it approached them.Alessandro remained tense, his body instinctively positioned slightly in front of Valeria.The headlights illuminated the roadside, then the driver's window rolled down.A familiar face appeared."Alessandro Valenti?!"Alessandro froze.His eyes narrowed against the headlights.Then recognition hit him."Daniel?"The young man behind the wheel practically jumped out of the vehicle."Bro!"He hurried toward them, staring at Alessandro as though he were looking at a ghost."I can't believe it's you!"Alessandro managed a faint smile.Daniel pulled him into a quick embrace before stepping

Valeria Rossi and Alessandro Valenti stood before Don Lorenzo in the dimly lit room, surrounded by armed men.Neither of them spoke immediately.The atmosphere was thick with suspicion.Don Lorenzo sat behind his desk, his eyes moving slowly between them. There was no warmth in his expression.No relief.No trace of the father Alessandro had once known.Only distrust."Why are you both here?"Before any of them could respond, Don Lorenzo continued."Alessandro, I made it clear when I spared your life that if you ever managed to escape Luca, you should stay far away from me."Alessandro swallowed, as he held Don Lorenzo's cold gaze.Then Don Lorenzo's gaze shifted to Valeria, "And you, I spared your life and that of your father's. And I made it clear to you never to show your face here again."Valeria nodded subtly."So, are you both here to get killed? Or as Luca sent you?"Valeria and Alessandro exchanged glances.“Start talking,” Don Lorenzo said coldly.Valeria swallowed this time.

Isabella slept restlessly that night. Her body kept shifting beneath the blankets.Her mind refused to settle.Lorenzo.Even in sleep, she couldn't escape him.Then... gunfire.Isabella was standing in the middle of a burning courtyard.Smoke surrounded her.Men were running in every direction.She could hear shouting.Screaming.More gunshots."Lorenzo!"She turned desperately.There he was.Don Lorenzo stood across the courtyard, surrounded by armed men.Blood covered his shirt.He looked directly at her.But this time, he wasn't calling her name.He was simply staring.As if saying goodbye."No!"Isabella tried to run toward him, but her feet wouldn't move."Lorenzo!"A gun was raised behind him.Isabella screamed."LOOK OUT!"Don Lorenzo turned.The gun fired."NO!"Isabella woke with a violent scream.She bolted upright, gasping for air.Her hands flew to her stomach."Lorenzo!"Her heart hammered against her chest.The door burst open.Her mother rushed inside."Isabella!

The convoy left the Valenti estate under the cover of darkness.Several black SUVs moved silently through the gates, their headlights cutting through the night.In the lead vehicle sat Luca, Dominic, and Don Rossi.Behind them followed the carefully selected Valenti captains, while Rossi's remaining soldiers traveled in the other vehicles.No one spoke.The atmosphere inside the lead SUV was heavy with anticipation.Luca stared through the tinted window, watching the estate disappear behind them.His mind was already racing ahead.This could be it.Tonight could finally be the night everything changed.If Don Lorenzo Valenti died...There would be no one left standing between Luca and the throne.He would remain the Mafia King, and for a very long time.He would take full control of the empire Don Lorenzo had spent years rebuilding.And this time, Luca wouldn't make the mistake of allowing anyone to challenge him.He imagined himself sitting at the head of the Valenti table.Everyone
