A mother for my son THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN. Chapter 17. Exposed
Luciano Today is my wedding day with Maritza, and although I trust Lucrecia's words, I don't want to attend this wedding. If it were up to me, I wouldn't hesitate to run away and leave her at the altar. But as I promised, I will go to that church, hoping with all my heart that the love of my life shows up and gives me a good reason not to marry my fiancée.I dress in an all-white tuxedo, descend the stairs, and at the bottom, Maritza's men are already waiting for me. It seems as if she thinks I might run away at some point, which is why she called them to ensure I attend my own wedding. We get into the waiting van and head to the church. As I enter, the church gradually fills with guests, many of whom I don't even know by name. After a few minutes of waiting, my fiancée appears on her father's arm.When I see her, I can't help but think about everything I've read about that moment when you see the love of your life walking down the aisle to join lives for eternity, and your eyes fill

Before getting into the truck that is waiting for us, we hear some shouts followed by a few gunshots in the distance, then everything falls silent.“I want you to explain everything to me, I still don't understand many things.” I turn to the woman who is supposed to be my wife and look at her, waiting for her response. On one hand, I'm angry with her for hiding all this from me since we met, and on the other, I'm happy to finally know the whole truth that had been kept from me.“As I told you in front of everyone, you and I are married. When we had that accident, I was able to escape unharmed thanks to the help of your men. Later, like everyone else, I was informed that you had died. Since I didn't have enough power here, I decided to leave for Mexico, where I now live with our children. A few months ago, an acquaintance from here called me, and that’s how I found out you were still alive. At first, I thought you had abandoned us, but when we saw each other on the day of your engageme

Massimo I stand there like a complete idiot, watching another man take my place next to my wife. The only thing that snaps me out of my trance is Giuseppe's question."Are you sure this is what you want?" He inquires with a bit of surprise."What do you mean?""Are you really willing to lose your family for something that no longer belongs to you? Let me just tell you something. That woman you're letting go is the one I wished my son could have had by his side all the time. She's loyal, honest, and above all, brave. She would have been a great daughter-in-law. As I told your wife back then, now I understand why my son fell in love with her." I just look at him with a furrowed brow at this declaration."You don't know everything your wife risked to try to save you from the Salvatore's clutches, as well as all the suffering she has endured all this time. Think about it: daring to return to Italy without anyone to back her up just because she received a call asking her to come back beca

A month has passed since we arrived in Mexico, and Lilibeth is still somewhat distant from me. Since I don't know what else to do, I decide to ask Mrs. Marion what I could do to get my wife to forgive me, and the idea she gives me is brilliant. How did I not think of it before? So I make the necessary arrangements to carry it out this afternoon at the restaurant, and I trust that everything will go as I hope.LilibethAlthough Massimo ultimately decided to leave everything for us, it still hurts that we weren't his first choice, and that just prevents me from forgiving him. This whole time in Mexico, he has tried every way to achieve it, but I feel like he isn't trying hard enough. Besides, it bothers me that he distrusts my love for him; his jealousy towards Palmieri is excessive. On the other hand, I also fear that he will realize that this life is not what he wants and regret having made the wrong decision.All this time, he has made up for it by spending time with our children, an
A mother for my son THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN. Chapter 21. Epilogue
LilibethAfter Brianna's birth, we waited at least four months to celebrate our wedding, this time through the church and in the company of all our loved ones. I decided to invite Mr. Giuseppe since I had grown very fond of him, but unfortunately, he informed me that he was still cleansing among all those close to the Salvatore family, so he couldn't attend. However, he promised to visit us as soon as he had the opportunity, as he misses the children very much. I also got in touch with Mrs. Antonella, who was very happy about the news and assured me that she and her children would come. Massimo, on his part, invited Pietro and Adanary, but since they would be on their honeymoon, it was impossible for them to attend. Nevertheless, they wished us good luck and sent their congratulations.Mia has started a relationship with Palmieri, who has left behind the sadness that consumed him day after day. When she confessed this to me, I couldn't believe it, but I think she's the best thing that
A mother for my son THE SON OF THE MAFIA QUEEN. Chapter 1. Return to Italy
Alexandre CarluccioI look out the airplane window as the sky begins to darken, leaving behind a mix of violet, blue, and a small trace of red. If I weren't so worried, I would stop to admire this magnificent sunset. I sigh and try to remember something from the last time I was here, but it's completely impossible; I was just a child when I left this place (the place where I was born) with my parents.Today, however, despite their wishes, I decided to return to take revenge on those who tried to hurt my grandfather, that great and kind man who always pampers my sisters and me, whose eyes fill with kindness and love when he sees us, but who is also so fearsome that all of Italy respects him. The great capo Giuseppe Lombardi, they will know that no one messes with The son of the mafia queen.[…]It has been twenty years since my parents took us to Mexico. During all this time, we never set foot in Italy again, partly because my mother was afraid someone would harm us once they found out
A mother for my son THE SON OF THE MAFIA QUEEN. Chapter 2. The son of the mafia Queen
We arrived at The Underworld club and to go unnoticed, we separated so that I wouldn't be seen with Bellini, as this could raise certain suspicions about who I am, and for the moment, it is better that my true identity is not known.Bellini heads to my grandfather's office where the "new owner" of all my grandfather's businesses seems to have settled in. According to our plan, when his men give me the signal, I should head there; according to what Flavio has told me all this time, there are several mid-level bosses gathered in one of the VIP rooms receiving orders from the supposed owner. I dedicate myself to observing everything around me and realize that our men outnumber all the traitors, so I smile with satisfaction at Bellini's careful arrangements. Now I understand why he has been my grandfather's right hand for so long.As soon as Flavio squeezes my shoulder, I understand that it is the signal we were waiting for. I head to my grandfather's office where everything is already cl

Ten Years AgoA few months ago, I turned fifteen, and in all this time, I have witnessed the great adoration my father feels for my mother. Their love is so profound that it can be seen in every look, every kiss, every word, and in their daily actions. I just got back from school when my parents called for me. They are both waiting for me in the study. As soon as I enter, I realize the atmosphere feels a bit tense."Alex, please sit down!" My mother says to me with a tender smile that doesn't reach her eyes, which are slightly red. I see her wringing her hands in an attempt to calm herself, and for a moment, I fear the worst—that they will tell me they have decided to separate, which wouldn't make sense given the love that still shows in both of them."Is something wrong?" I ask, my voice trembling slightly."No, sweetheart, but there is something important you need to know." She sits next to me and takes my hands in hers."As you know, we moved from Italy years ago to live here becau

When she hears me say this, her body tenses, and she starts crying harder than before. I lead her to one of the chairs and gently sit her down.“What happened to her face?” I inquire after a while, lifting her face a little.“What happened to you, sweetheart?” My father-in-law asks, approaching her, and when his fingers touch his wife’s cheek, she swats his hand away.“Don’t touch me.” She replies without looking at him.I see the pain in Liza’s father’s eyes at his wife’s attitude. He lowers his hand but stays by our side, holding back the urge to hug her.“After Stefano left the house, about half an hour later, Lieutenant Barone arrived. Apparently, he had a warrant for Stefano’s arrest because they had discovered everything about his business, but the way he was acting wasn’t normal.“When our men noticed that he started circling the whole property, Mich advised me not to let them in, and that’s what we did. But suddenly, they started attacking us, managing to break through the gat

Once again, I find myself in the cemetery, a place that has become so familiar to me that my chest tightens with the loss I am facing at this moment. I lower my gaze and observe the white rose I hold in my hand, as I feel a single tear escape from my eye. With the same hand holding the rose, I quickly wipe it away, knowing that the person I am now saying goodbye to would not want to see me in this state.After five long years, Giuseppe Lombardi left us to reunite with his son, whom he has longed for all these years. If it weren't for my mother, who became like a daughter to him, the sadness that overwhelmed him might have taken him sooner.I look around, and both my mother and my sisters are devastated by his loss, but I know they also find peace in having been with him in his last days. Next to me, holding my hand as she always has, is my beloved wife Yelizaveta, and at our feet are our children, little Renzo and little Laryssa.As the priest finishes the last words of farewell, my m

We take the elevator down as quickly as we can, and when we reach the parking lot, I head straight to one of the trucks that’s still there without wasting any time."We won’t take long; it’s about thirty minutes from here." I inform them as I get into the truck, buckle my seatbelt, and then floor the accelerator.The drive to my old home passes in a blink, and when we arrive, I see that only a few walls have remained standing over all these years. I turn off the engine and grab one of the guns from under the seat."I want you to stay here until Bellini and Flavio arrive.""We're not staying. We said we'd come with you, and that's what we're doing." Yasha contradicts me, gritting her teeth."Absolutely not. You'll stay here until the rest of my men arrive."I get out before they can argue, pass through the open gates, and barely take two steps before some men appear in front of me. I fire my gun, but just as I'm about to hit another one of them, I see him fall to the ground. I don’t ne

Yelizaveta Little by little, I open my eyes and feel a bit disoriented, not knowing where I am. I shake my head, and when I finally manage to focus, I look around and realize I’m in some sort of abandoned warehouse. But strangely enough, I’m alone—or at least I think I am.Everything is so confusing that every time I try to remember what happened, my head aches a little. When small scenes of what happened this morning finally come to mind, a shiver runs through me. All those trucks blocking our way, my father’s men trying to protect me, the ones from bombon following us, and that girl, screaming my name before being hit and losing consciousness.I try to touch my head where I was struck hard enough to knock me out, but I realize that I’m tied to a chair. Just as I’m about to move it, I hear unfamiliar voices.“They hit her pretty hard.” Shouts a man, followed by a thud. I try to turn my head to see where it’s coming from, but I can’t, so I listen closely to their conversation.“I’m s

Alexandre “Boss, Mr. Belucci is outside and insists on speaking with you.” One of my men informs me. I set aside the documents I’m reading, somewhat confused by the visit from Liza’s father.“Let him in, please.” My man steps aside, and I see Mr. Belucci enter, clearly upset. He looks around as if searching for someone until he finally fixes his gaze on me.“Where is Yelizaveta?” He asks angrily.“I’m sorry, father-in-law, but Liza and I didn’t plan to meet today. I haven’t seen her in days.”“T-that can’t be possible. She told me she was coming to see you and left the house at noon, and she hasn’t returned. It’s already past midnight.” I check the time on my computer and realize she’s been missing for over twelve hours. I jump up from my seat, grab my phone, and try to reach her. “She’s not answering; we’ve been trying for hours.” He says, his voice trembling slightly.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” I ask, frustrated. “What exactly did she say before leaving the house?”“One of yo

Alexandre "For several days now, you've been acting a bit strange. What's bothering you, Alexandre?" Inquires Flavio as soon as he notices my expression.I turn my chair, let out a deep sigh, and gaze out over all of Liguria in an attempt to clear my mind of so many problems. After a brief pause, I decide to speak."Someone blew up Liza's father's ship a few days ago. Apparently, they had a very valuable cargo that was about to be shipped to Russia. This was a significant loss for both my father-in-law and his partner.""And how does that affect you?" Bellini asks. "Don't tell me the bastard dared to blame you?" He growls furiously.I can't help but laugh. When I turn my chair back around to face them, I shake my head."Why am I not surprised you think that of my father-in-law?""Maybe because the idiot is capable of that and more." Bellini retorts, glaring at me."Only because Liza isn't here will I agree with you, but in front of her, I never will. So, you know, Bellini, keep your

Yelizaveta As soon as we got into the SUV of my bonbon to head to his mansion, I heard his parents begin to argue in hushed tones, trying not to be noticed."Can I ask why you didn't intervene, Massimo?" Mrs. Lilibeth inquired, and from the tone of her voice, I could tell she was a little upset with her husband."Little shrew, you were handling it wonderfully; you didn't need me at any point. Besides, I love seeing you in that mama bear mode." Mr. Massimo replied, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. I immediately turned my face away so they wouldn't think I was eavesdropping, but I continued to listen to their conversation anyway."I don't like the way he talks to Alex." She said, lowering her voice a bit more."I know, little shrew, but Alex accepted it all along and didn't say anything. What can we do? Nothing.""It's not your fault, honey." My bonbon murmured, wrapping his arm around my waist. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who had overheard them arguing."I'm sorry! It's just
A mother for my son THE SON OF THE MAFIA QUEEN. Chapter 37. Engagement
Fabrizio “If you're here, it's because you need to tell me something. What is it?” I ask without looking up from my work.“Our men reported that Carluccio just arrived at the Belucci mansion with his parents. They believe they are there to make their relationship official.”“With a demon!” I explode angrily, hitting my desk, “this can't be happening.”I get up from my seat and start pacing around my office, thinking of the best way to prevent that engagement from happening at all costs.“I want you to blow up the shipment waiting at the port.” I order, stopping my steps.“H-how?”“Are you an idiot? Do I need to repeat my orders twice?”“I’m sorry, boss, it’s just that it will be a significant loss for both you and Belucci.”“That loss is nothing compared to what I stand to gain by keeping Yelizaveta away from Carluccio.”“Should I ask our men to abandon the ship?”“No, sometimes it’s worth making certain sacrifices to achieve a greater good. I want that ship to blow up within ten min

Alexandre "I don't understand what you mean, bonbon." Says Liza with a slight frown. In front of us, I hear Brianna chuckle, but I ignore her."Yes, bonbon, explain to us." Brianna chimes in with a malicious smile."Brianna!" I scold her, because I am sure that now that she knows what Liza calls me, it will be impossible for her to stop calling me that."You're so boring." I see grandpa give her a conspiratorial look, and I shake my head."Baby doll, let your brother explain." My father intervenes. Brianna makes a little pout and falls silent, still hugging grandpa."Liza's father must have his own hangar. I know that if we talk to him and explain the situation, he could help us. Besides, we can get grandpa out through the tunnels in the house. That's what I can think of for now.""And will your girlfriend's father agree?" My father asks, not very convinced."It's possible, though I'm not quite sure.""Don't worry, bonbon, I'll talk to him.""I think it's best if Massimo and I go and
