Love Under Mafia Rule 12. Leonardo's Decision
Leonardo pressed his fingers so hard that the tips of his nails cut into his palms. La Vendetta was precious to him. Ever since he was born, he had been the most important part of the organization. His father, the previous leader, had groomed him to be the next leader. Now that his parents were gone, all that remained was their legacy of La Vendetta.The man looked deeply at Caterina. His chest heated up when he had to choose one or the other. La Vendetta or Caterina were two things that were equally important to him. He could not choose one or the other. Leonardo was really at his lowest point now. He was supported by such a big dilemma.“No need to waste time; you already know what the answer is.” Caterina said to Marco. She was very sure that Leonardo would refuse the offer because she was not valuable to him. She was very upset with Marco because he reminded her of the pain of rejection.“What makes you think I care about that woman?” Leonardo turned to look at Marco. “I only cam

Marco smiled as he got up from his seat. He grabbed the gun from his sister's hand, making sure that he had enough bullets to counter Leonardo's attack. The battle was definitely going to happen.Caterina thought it was time to escape. She rose to her feet silently and was about to flee. However, her steps were immediately halted when her arm was gripped tightly by Rossie.“I won't let you escape.” Rossie said emphatically, her eyes glaring fiercely.Caterina looked at Marco, who had already left. The bodyguards who usually stood guard there also seemed to be busy in front of there. There were only the two of them now, Caterina and Rossie. If she could escape from Rossie, then she had a chance to escape.“I'll give you a chance to free me.” Caterina said with confidence. Fighting Rossie was not a difficult thing for her. They were both women, and she felt that her fighting skills were above Rossie's. Moreover, her physique looked much stronger.Rossie laughed sarcastically at Caterina

Caterina's breathing began to sound labored. Not only was she exhausted from running away from Leonardo's pursuit, but she was also tired of the feelings that kept lingering in her chest. Why did it have to be Leonardo? Why should she be hated by the man she loved so much? All the love she had poured out for a dozen years for Leonardo was instead rewarded with hatred and the desire to kill. Caterina never knew that loving Leonardo would be this risky.Caterina's steps stopped when she no longer heard Leonardo's cries echoing her name. She no longer heard the roar of steps chasing behind her. Now there was only one thing to do, and that was to find a way to get over the fence. If she could get through the tall, towering fence that surrounded Marco's luxurious mansion, then it was certain that she would be able to survive and escape to a place further away. She would be free from Leonardo, as well as Marco.“I can't waste time.” Caterina muttered. As long as the battle was still going o

Alex looked confused when Leonardo asked him to stop the car, but he did so anyway. Whatever order Leonardo gave, he did not dare to oppose.Caterina turned to look at Leonardo, waiting to see what he would do. She was on guard, preparing herself to put up a fight if Leonardo was about to do something to her.“You can come down if you think you're not safe with me.” Leonardo gave her a choice. He didn't want to force Caterina to come with him if it made her feel depressed and uneasy.Caterina was silent; she was speechless. This was too sudden. She looked around; the road they passed was filled with lush forests on the left and right. Vehicles also rarely passed by. Only their group car filled the road. If she got off there, she would have to walk for who knows how long. She also couldn't be sure that she would survive if Leonardo dropped her off here.Leonardo stared with an unknown look. The more Caterina looked at that look, the less she understood what exactly Leonardo wanted from

“Wh-what?” Leonardo looked nervous as Caterina thrust the food into his mouth. His cheeks were flushed red, his heart beating very fast.“Don't you dare? Your behavior makes me suspicious.” Caterina stared with a probing look. She did not dare to taste the food that had been placed before her. She was afraid that the food had been contaminated with poison. She put her spoon and fork back on the plate of lasagna.Leonardo was silent for a moment; he was trying to normalize his heartbeat. He was trying to regulate his breathing. Once he had calmed down, he grabbed a spoonful of lasagna and devoured it with relish. The man looked deeply at Caterina, not taking his eyes off her at all. He tried to convince her that there was nothing in the food.Caterina looked at Leonardo intently; she was thinking hard. If Leonardo dared to eat the food, it meant that the food served to him was indeed not poisonous. However, why was Leonardo's reaction so suspicious when she thrust her spoon at him? If

The car drove at high speed through the city streets that never died. There were many vehicles passing by. The scent of Leonardo's body still lingered on the car seat where he used to sit. Caterina sighed roughly, inhaling the scent deeply. Every time she smelled Leonardo's body scent, she felt calm and peaceful. There was a strange feeling that crept into her heart every time she inhaled the scent.No matter how hard she tried to lie about her feelings, she could not cover up the fact that her love for Leonardo was still as great as ever.Caterina shifted; she tried to find the most comfortable position to sit. Until an object stuck in her footstool made her bend down to check it.“This is ....” Caterina picked up the object with an inexplicable feeling. The look on her face changed; instantly her memory was thrown to a few years ago.It was Leonardo's 17th birthday. Caterina was so excited and enthusiastic. She prepared a surprise party, decorated the room, prepared a birthday cake,

It turned out that Leonardo's business this time was quite long, he only returned to headquarters three days later. He came home very tired, dirty and full of blood. Just by looking at that, Caterina could already guess what had happened. Leonardo was involved in another battle, but she didn't know who his enemy was this time. Fortunately the blood was not Leonardo's, it was just the enemy's blood splashing onto his body and clothes. He only had a small cut on his palm. It seemed that he parried a hand weapon attack with his hand.Some of Leonardo's men were badly injured. However, there were no casualties. Everyone returned safely.Caterina didn't know what to do. She was actually worried about Leonardo's condition, she wanted to run over and check on him to make sure he was okay. However, Caterina didn't want to take the wrong step. She was afraid Leonardo would get angry again. The woman could only stare from a distance.“Kate, please help me treat the others.” Dante gave the order

“Are you busy? I want to talk to you.” Caterina asked after she entered Leonardo's study. “Get used to knocking on the door before you enter.” Leonardo looked annoyed. He closed this month's financial report book, then took a deep breath. He looked up, looking at Caterina with deep eyes.Caterina's gaze turned to Leonardo's palm, which was wrapped in bandages. Leonardo seemed to understand; he hid his hands behind a pile of files on the table."Why are you looking for me?"Caterina was silent for a moment. She tried to gather her courage before asking, because she had to be ready to accept whatever answer Leonardo would give her."Is this yours?" Caterina held out a necklace, the necklace she found in Leonardo's car the other day.Leonardo looked very surprised when he saw the necklace in Caterina's hand, but he tried to act normal. He doesn't want to admit his feelings right now, because he is too proud. He was used to rejecting Caterina, being rude to her, even swearing that he wou

This morning the air felt colder than usual. Caterina put a thick jacket on Shopia's body. While in the distance, Luka came with several cups of hot coffee."For you." Luka handed the coffee cups to Leonardo and Alex.Leonardo accepted the coffee with a smile, while the corner of his eye looked at Caterina, who was busy with Shopia. He was happy to see Caterina happy. However, his heart sank when he realized that Caterina's happiness was not him. He had to let the woman he loved live with another man.Sophia turned to look at Leonardo. He smiled broadly and waved goodbye. The only reason Caterina and Luka met Leonardo this morning was because Shopia was related to him. Sophia should at least recognize her uncle.Leonardo waved back at the little girl. Just like Alex said, Leonardo has changed a lot from before.Caterina led Shopia towards the group of men."Honey, give the gift to Uncle Leo." Caterina said softly.Sophia nodded.Leonardo stared at Caterina without blinking. After six

"Kate, I want to talk seriously." Alex said with a serious look on his face. He rarely acted like this. If he said something serious, it meant it was serious."Honey, you go to your room first." Caterina said very softly.Shopia, who was lying on Caterina's thigh, got up and went to her room. That child was really very obedient."What do you want to talk about?" Caterina looked up, looking at the man with a questioning look."Leo will be out of prison tomorrow morning." The man gave information. It wasn't that he wanted to scare Caterina, but he had something else to say."You can rest assured, Kate will be safe as long as I'm with her. There's nothing to be afraid of; he already has a criminal history. If he does the same thing a second time, the punishment will be more severe than before." Luka said firmly. It was as if he was emphasizing that no one could hurt Caterina as long as he existed. Even if that person was Leonardo.This was the sixth month of their marriage, just as Leona

Caterina stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her reflection there. The beautiful face looked even more beautiful after being polished with makeup. She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. She tried to convince herself that this was the right move. She did not want to regret her decision to marry Luka. Here she had found so much love. This was the place where she could get what she wanted.There was a knock on the door from outside.Caterina invited him to enter. Dante stepped inside with tears in his eyes. He was touched when he saw his daughter in a wedding dress. He could finally see Caterina get married.As they had hoped, the world Luka offered was far from the hustle and bustle of crime. There were no enemies, no gunshots, no danger lurking every time they left the house.It was the kind of peaceful life that Dante and Caterina had always wanted. They had intended to escape to Sydney and start a new life in the city. However, they never imagined that they would mee

Leonardo looked at Dante very seriously. His eyes showed as if he was asking what was wrong. He wanted to know what Caterina thought of him."She doesn't hate you like you think. Kate is very forgiving." Dante said with affirmation.Leonardo was silent. In fact, even though Caterina had forgiven him, he still had no chance to get back Caterina's heart. His love story had ended there."Her wedding to Luka is in a fortnight. Come if you can." Dante informed.It seemed that the man's affection for Leonardo ran deep. Of course he did. He had taken care of the man since he was a baby until he grew up like this. The time he spent with Leonardo was far more than the time he had spent with his own daughter. Naturally, he felt that his bond with Leonardo could not be broken. Moreover, Leonardo has realized and regretted everything he has ever done."I'm not sure I can attend her wedding. I can't bear to see her married to another man." Leonardo said with a trembling voice. His eyes looked tear

The party finished just before 1am. Caterina felt very tired and sleepy. She was used to staying up late and sleeping early in the morning; it was just that she was not used to the crowded atmosphere and formal events like this. Interacting with so many people made her feel very tired. Her energy was drained very much. At this rate, she would need a few days of rest to fully recharge his energy."I'm sorry you had to keep me company until midnight." Luka felt guilty. He felt bad. He remembered when Leonardo had brought Caterina to an important event and asked her to go home first because Caterina felt uncomfortable. However, he could not do what Leonardo did, because Caterina was one of the important people in this event. It would not be good for her to leave the party in the middle of it.Caterina smiled broadly. It seemed that she had to get used to it. Because, in the future, she will attend more often in this way."It is I who apologizes for not being able to accompany you to the

"You go in first; I want to see my father first." Luka said as they arrived at an upscale hotel tonight. As Adam had said last week, tonight he would be holding an official party to announce the company's new leader, as well as to tell the public that Caterina was Luka's future wife.There will be a lot of media coming to broadcast the news. Caterina's name will become famous after this. She will be the daughter-in-law of the richest man in Sydney. Her profile and background will be explored by many people. If they knew that Caterina came from the dark world of the mafia, they would probably look down on her. She would be labeled as a bad person.Caterina nodded gently, she released her embrace on Luka's arm, and let him leave.Caterina didn't really like parties and crowds like this, so she felt very uncomfortable. She stepped very clumsily into the building where the party would be held.However, Caterina's steps were halted as the doorman stopped her. They asked her to show her inv

"Daddy is home." Caterina told Shopia that Luka had arrived at the villa. They started to get ready for the surprise. Caterina brought a big cake, while Shopia brought a small cake because she was not strong enough to carry a big cake.Today was Luka's 34th birthday. Caterina and the others had prepared a small party at home. They were celebrating with family only. No invitations, no friends. There were Alex and Dante, who joined in the festivities. Adam had only been notified a few minutes ago.They stood at the door. Waiting with their hearts racing. This was the first time Caterina had celebrated a birthday for Luka. She didn't know how he would respond. She didn't want to expect more, because she had been disappointed so many times. When she celebrated Leonardo's birthday, he didn't want to look at her at all. Let alone accepting her gift, he even threw the cake that Caterina offered.Having been hurt too many times, Catarina no longer had high hopes. Even though she knew the woun

"Why are you here?" Adam looked at his son with a probing look."Where else am I supposed to be? I need to go to the office to check my work after my two-week. There are a lot of files that I need to go through and sign off on. There's already a lot of cooperation pending. It's time for me to get back to work." Luka answered honestly."The work can be taken care of by others. There are many people who can be entrusted to take care of everything. You shouldn't have left Kate. She's still recovering." Adam seemed very concerned. Even now he was starting to be overprotective of his future daughter-in-law.Luka smiled a little. He hadn't expected that to be the reason his father had asked him about why he was at the office this morning. He thought it was something else; it was because he left Caterina for work."She's fine. She asked me to come back to work. I have Alex and Dante looking after her at home." Luka explained."That's good that you are. You check all these files and give them

Hearing Caterina's words, Dante felt very happy. He had never thought that his daughter would give him a chance. The man smiled broadly. He approached Caterina, then hugged her very tightly."I know I've made many mistakes. This time I promise I will make up for all my past mistakes. I will be a good father to you." Dante said with great tenderness.Caterina nodded; she returned her father's hug gently.Luka looked happy to see that Caterina and her father's relationship had improved. His dream of improving their relationship had finally come true. At least that was all he wanted for now."No one needs me to take you to the airport, right?" Alex asked reassuringly after he saw Caterina and Dante hugging each other. The two had made up."I guess," Dante replied as he released her hug."Daddy!" Shopia ran to her father. She clung to her father's thighs. In her arms was the doll she got from Adam. She still thought it was from Caterina."Who is she?" Dante asked as he looked at his daugh
