LUCREZIA

I shut my eyes tight after the words escaped my mouth. I suddenly felt bad when I felt Letizia turn rigid beside me.

"W-What?" Letizia slightly stuttered as she asks me in a weak voice.

Knowing the weight of my words too well, I lowered my head and bit my lower lip in shame upon telling her the truth.

Getting a divorce as an Italian-American who is known for filial piety and holds marriage as a sacred thing is immoral for us.

Divorce is even a topic of conversation that shouldn't be discussed for us.

In all the marriages that happened in the Italian-American families whether they were successful or not, no one ever got divorce after marriage.

People in the mafia looks down on divorce, especially on divorced husband and wives.

If Pietro and I got divorced, not only will people close around us will look down on us, but it would basically be self destructing our reputation in the mafia

Being a divorced husband or a divorced woman

    LUCREZIAIt's been more than a month since I last saw Pietro. Ever since he came to visit me and I yelled him to leave, I had never seen him since then and I haven't tried to contact him too.As I stayed true to my words, I drowned myself with my work, helping Letizia in her job and fulfilling my duties as her consigliere.With the amount of things that we had to handle, I had no time to think about Pietro and spare thoughts about my decision of divorcing him.Since the last time I opened up to Lucrezia and talked about the my relationship with Pietro, Letizia and I never had any conversation about Pietro since then.We were handling so many problems at the same time that we had no room to think about our personal problems.Even though the amount of work we had to do daily is heavy, I'm still glad at the heavy workload for it helped me to divert my attention to somewhere else.Not having Pietro in my mind and overthinking about the things between us is refreshing for my mind."Are you

  • Let Me Love You, Don   Chapter 118: Facing Pietro

    I must have gone crazy because there is no way that I would have grown over confident enough not to bring anyone with me to face Pietro and hand him the divorce papers.Even Agrippa needed to have someone with her when she faced her in laws to ask them for help in teaching her husband and keeping him from his cheating ways.However, I did not bring anybody with me when I drove all by myself to Pietro's mansion. I even refused to bring Letizia with me even though she was very insistent on wanting to come with me.For some reason, I just felt that this is something that I should face courageously on my own, but now that I am already nearing Pietro's mansion, I couldn't help the dread slowly succumbing into me as I thought of finally doing it and not just imagining facing Pietro all by myself.I held the steering wheel tightly until my knuckles had turned white. I had never held the wheel as tightly as this before. I turned off the AC when the car turned much coder than it was for no r

    LUCREZIA I fell in silence when I heard the maid’s reply that Bianca did not actually stayed that long in the mansion with Pietro. I was expecting that she would still be here until now, living with Pietro which will be the reason why he is staying more at home than in the office unlike when I was the one who used to live here with him. I thought he was enjoying Bianca’s company, reliving about his past, talking about secrets that she knows of which he couldn’t share with me.Before leaving, Bianca made it clear to me that she had feelings for Pietro. Without me hanging around them and having Pietro all by herself, spending all her days living with him in the same place, I was expecting that something might have flourished between them. Bianca already wasted his chance to be with Pietro once before. Now that she’s back and has regretted leaving Pietro’s side, she would surely value this second chance that was given to her. There’s no way that she would lose this chance again and l

    LUCREZIAPietro fell speechless upon hearing my words. I want love, but it was love that he couldn’t give. Seeing how he fell silent upon my question, I no longer felt disappointed and hurt as I did before.I was expecting to be hurt by his words again, but when I felt nothing, I felt proud for myself for turning into someone this strong.I feel proud of myself for this time, I no longer expect love from him and I am strong enough to be able to handle that reality.No one knows how long it took me to reach this level of maturity where I no longer care if Pietro loves me or not, where I no longer need to have Pietro in my life.After so many years I had finally accepted that Pietro will never love me, he is not capable of loving me and that there is more to life than him. I shouldn’t be forcing myself on him and my life shouldn’t be circling around him.Now that I had reached the level of acceptance, I could finally let go of Pietro a

    LUCREZIAI stared at Pietro with surprise fleeting in my eyes when my mind had finally processed his sudden confession.“Y-you love me?” I asked, my voice weak and stuttering feeling like I was living in a dream. Hearing Pietro say that he loves me was a dream that I thought would never come true. “Yes, Lucrezia. I love you. I always had.” Pietro spoke with all his heart. I stared deep into his eyes staring at the pool of sincerity in the depths of his irises. My heart turned erratic inside my chest and my breaths turned faster as tears sprang up my eyes. “I love you more than my heart and mind could comprehend. I love you more than I could realize. I love you so much that I couldn’t breathe at the thought of losing you.I know I am a jerk for lying to you and not showing you how much I love you. I do not deserve to be with someone like you, but I beg of you…Please do not leave me. Don’t demand me to let you go.” Pietro spoke in a broken voice. Hearing the pain in his voice als

    “Shit! Shit! Shit! You imbeciles! I’m paying you money and you can’t even kill one damn man!” Eros was agitated and he couldn’t stop yelling while staring at his computer. He had cameras all over his mansion so he could see everything that was happening. Eros had never seen Pietro fought anyone before. He didn’t expect him to be this good. He is like James Bond, taking down so many people at a time. Eros is not fully aware of Pietro’s past. He has no idea about the training that he got as a little child. Pietro was trained to be like a killer machine. His training could be likened to that of Black Widow, if only that character was real. Eros kept sending and sending all his people, but Pietro killed all the men trying to stop him from reaching his wife until Eros had no one else to send and stop Pietro anymore. Lucrezia had no access to the computer, but she witnessed how Eros was scared out of his wits as he watched what Pietro is doing to his men. Lucrezia could also fully hear

    Lucrezia’s stomach turned. Even though they are criminals and big time mafias, they still have their own principles and things that they couldn’t bring themselves to do.Eros is just pure evil, a monster.He is a disgrace to the mafias. What kind of man could say those words with a straight face.“What does these things have to do with my father? What does it have to do with Pietro? Why do you have to kill him?” Lucrezia asks.“You see, your father and I share the same goal. We want to be the best in the Commission and Pietro is an obstacle stopping us from reaching that goal.Lucrezia felt more guilty upon hearing this. She thought Pietro was the one who was greedy. She thought he was the one trying to become the next capo di tutti capi.“If that is so, then why spare me? Why spare my father? I’m Pietro’s wife. Why not kill me with him?”“Because your father and I had a deal.” Eros answers taking Lucrezia by surprise.“A deal?” Lucrezia mutters breathlessly feeling like she just disco

    “Vaffanculo! Vaffanculo!” Lucrezia curses repeatedly inside her car as she drove along with other Italian curses that she grew up hearing from their Italian helpers at home. Lucrezia pressed on the gas pedal, speeding at the almost empty highway at dawn to reach her husband at home who has no idea that his life is in danger. She shouldn’t ave gone to her home. She shouldn’t have told her father anything. She shouldn’t have stuck her nose where it doesn’t belong in the first place. She shouldn’t have opened the door to Pietro’s office and indulged herself in the secrets that he was hiding. No wonder why Pietro is keeping things from her. Just hours after she found out his secret and she had already placed Pietro’s life in danger. Lucrezia had no idea that her father is working with Eros Cassiano to get rid of Pietro. She should have known that in the mafia, everybody has their own dark secrets and hidden agendas to hide. The fact that Pietro has one, shouldn’t have surprised her an

    Raimondo was silent for a long time as he listened to his daughter as she confides into him about Pietro’s secret. Raimondo earnestly listened without questioning her daughter’s words or interrupting her. Raimondo just stared into her daughter’s eyes as she went on with her story as if he was listening to her because he was worried about her. Lucrezia is supposed to tell her father about what Pietro’s secrets that she had just found about, the secrets that she discovered in Pietro’s office, but she changed her mind last minute because she thought it was a very important secret and it could implicate Pietro’s life, so she couldn’t rashly share those things to her father. Additionally, Lucrezia knows that her father would react negatively if he founds out bout that. Even she reacted so negatively when she finds out that her husband is planning something against the Commission. Unless she had ensured everything, unless she had everything straight with Pietro, nobody can find out abou

    PIETRO woke up because of his nightmare. For the first time, ever since he slept in the same bed as his wife, he woke up with the same dream, the same nightmare again.Ever since Pietro was a child, there wasn’t a night when he had not woken up haunted by nightmares. He always dreamed of the same thing, the friend that he killed. Every night, he would jolt up awake and the last thing he could remember was the picture of him pulling the trigger and killing his friend. His dream is very vivid like it all happened again. It was always exactly how he remembered it happen. Saying that Pietro was traumatized would be an understatement. Pietro was broken by his past, and only Lucrezia was able to piece him together. Through the love and kindness that she showed him, Pietro was able to forgive himself and see his value. Pietro calmly sits up, his breathing was rash and heavy like he had just ran a marathon. When his racing heart had finally slowed down, he opens the light beside him caus

    It’s already evening when I arrived home which means Pietro must be waiting for me at home. I wasn’t planning to stay outside until evening, but I had to travel between two different cities because Agrippa’s house and the place where I am going to get the key are located at two opposite cities. I wore a huge smile on my face as if I had the best day of my life as soon as I entered home. Just as I am expecting, Pietro is waiting for me at the living room just like how I always wait at the living room for him to welcome him home. Pietro’s eyes dropped on the shopping bags I’m carrying as soon as I entered the door. Seeing this, he did not dare ask where I went. He just assumed that I went for a shopping spree. On the way home, I stopped at a mall and shopped random things so that Pietro would think I spent the whole day at the mall. “You had a great day?” Pietro asked me as he walked towards me.I grinned at him. “I bought everything that I wanted.”“Good, you own all my money. You

    Agrippa sighed at the other side of the door, the loudest that I have ever heard her sigh. She knew that there is no way I’d leave this place. Even though my foot is hurting, jammed and pressed at the foot of their door, I wasn’t willing to remove my foot and let her go.No, I won’t leave this place, not until I find out everything that is happening, and not until I have given all the help that I could give her. No one deserves to be abused like that. No woman or no wife should live in the same house with her husband abusing her. My face softened and my heart ached inside my heart when Agrippa finally opened the door, revealing her inside. Agrippa refused to look at me on the eye. Her head is lowered in shame even though she had nothing to be ashamed about. I swallowed hard, not saying anything. You wouldn’t know what to say once you saw a hurt person in front of you. I’m afraid that if I say something it will only make Agrippa close herself from me even more. Asking her if she’s

Our life routine is back, and things got pretty boring for me once again as a wife who is always left at home without anything to take care of.If only Pietro gave me kids to take care of, then I wouldn’t have to feel so bored and I would stay all day at home without any complaints.I have sent Agrippa a message that I would visit her today. Although I haven’t received any reply from the heads up message I sent her, I decided to still just go. At least I have given her a heads up. Wheteher she replies or not it’s actually out of my control.With the help of Pietro’s driver and bodyguard that he had hired specially for me. I went to the mall first to buy something for Agrippa and her three little kids.I do not want to go there empty handed. Besides, I rarely go to their house to visit and I don’t give gifts to Agrippa’s kids often.

    LUCREZIAI stared at the ceiling as I lay on the bed with my eyes wide open as Pietro softly snores beside me. While Pietro is having the best sleep of his life, I couldn’t sleep because of I couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation we had in the car.For some reasons, Pietro’s words doesn’t sit well with me. I really don’t believe that Orenzio is the man behind all of this. I don’t think it’s possible that Orenzio knew about his father’s disease beforehand and that he was the one who told Serrano about it.I couldn’t forget the surprised look on Orenzio’s face and the anger that he felt as Serano stood on the stage making accusations against his father and telling everyone that he was hiding his dementia.Even if that was all just an act, I don’t believe that Orenzio could pull all that off so perfectly.
