Love Under Mafia Rule 178
Luka massaged his temples while staring at the glowing laptop screen. Today was one of those rare occasions when he could enjoy the tranquility of his home without phone calls or business meetings. But his thoughts were still preoccupied with one thing—his father, Adam.Since Caterina moved to Sydney, his relationship with his father had begun to change. Adam appeared more and more often in their mansion, especially when Luka was not there. Although he always claimed to want to make sure everything was okay, Luka knew more than that. From the sharp gaze and cold attitude, it was clear that Adam didn't like Caterina.Luka finally picked up his cell phone, tapping the table a few times before daring to press Adam's number.“What's wrong?“ Adam's heavy voice immediately greeted.“Dad, I need to talk for a minute,” Luka began carefully. “About your presence in my house when I was away.”A long pause. Luka could feel the tension creeping in.“So?“ Adam asked in a flat tone.“I think... ple

"Tell me how much you want." Adam said sharply," He gave Caterina a hostile look.Caterina stared with a furrowed brow. She was confused and did not understand what Adam's words meant. The middle-aged man suddenly appeared and asked a question."How much money do you want? Leave Luka alone; I'll give you whatever money you ask for. I won't bargain. I just want to give my best to Luka. He's the only son I have. I don't want his future to be ruined because of you." Adam explained in detail. He didn't use figurative words to offend Caterina. He preferred to be straightforward.Caterina laughed slightly. She smiled sadly. Although her lips carved a sweet smile, her heart ached like it was being sliced. Until now, Adam still couldn't accept it. She thought he would change his mind if she behaved properly towards him. However, hope was far from reality. Adam openly waved the flag of hostility."I don't need your money. You keep it for yourself." Caterina said very firmly."Luka isn't here,

"Your father doesn't like me. He openly said that he hates me. I couldn't stand it. He offered me a lot of money and company to leave you. I can't take his cynicism and insults anymore. I tried my best, but he never appreciated it. In his eyes there's nothing but bad things about me." Caterina said in a hoarse voice. After she felt a little better, she began to tell the story of what happened.Luka rubbed Caterina's head tenderly. He poured out all his affection to her. He listened to all of Caterina's complaints. Meanwhile, Shopia cuddled in his arms. Alex just listened from the other side of the dining table.The dining room, which had been calm and peaceful, now turned tense and full of sadness."What happened after that?""I agreed to leave. I'll be leaving with Alex tomorrow morning."Alex was quite surprised when his name was mentioned. However, he was happy because he wanted to follow in all of Caterina's footsteps. She would go wherever Caterina went."I'm not allowing you to

The man whose age was no longer young took a deep breath; the light in his eyes dimmed along with the threat uttered from his son's lips. His head bowed, his shoulders dropped—as if he didn't have the spirit to live.All eyes were on him, waiting to see what decision he would make."Alright, I've decided." The words he spoke drew Luka closer.Caterina firmly grasped Shopia's cold hand, the tense atmosphere causing the air around to freeze. The conflict between father and daughter would stop here, or perhaps continue with a more severe level.Adam looked up at his son's face who was staring at him sharply, the two of them were arguing - but from the dim look in his eyes, Adam preferred to give in."Don't leave me, Luka. You are my only treasure." Adam's voice sounded hoarse. "I can't stay away from you, I love you more than anything. I'm even willing to lose all the wealth I have, as long as you stay here."Luka began to be affected when he heard his father's sad voice; he swallowed wit

Luka said when he had to go back to work.Caterina smiled widely. She nodded gently and gave Luka a kiss on the cheek.

"Kate! Kate! Do you still hear me?!" Luka became increasingly panicked when he could no longer hear any sound. His call connection with Caterina had been severed. The man's face looked deathly pale. A cold sweat began to break out suddenly. His heart seemed to stop beating. His hands trembled violently. His wild mind began to wander everywhere. He had thought of the worst thing that had happened to Caterina. Moreover, he had heard gunshots and screams just before the call was cut off."Let's hurry!" Luka ordered his men to drive at a faster speed.Luka could not calm down during the whole journey. He was very anxious. Every second that passed felt so slow."Can't you drive any faster?" Luka said in a hurried tone. He had lost the woman he loved so much. At that time he felt that his world was over. He survived only because of his daughter Shopia. Here he found his passion again after he met Caterina. He no longer wanted to feel lost for the second time. He loved Caterina very much. Ha

Leonardo paced back and forth in front of the operating theater. His body was still covered in Caterina's bloodstains after he hugged and carried her bloodied body. Caterina needed many blood transfusions. She was now in the operating theater to have the bullet removed from her body.As expected. The bullet hit Caterina's vital organs. It would be a miracle if she survived death this time. The doctors were trying very hard in there.Leonardo could not calm down at all. His face was flushed, his heart beating very fast. If Caterina didn't survive this time, he would really go crazy. Because Caterina died by her own hand.The medics had been working there for hours, but there was still no news. Leonardo continued to wait. He prayed silently, hoping that Caterina would be given the strength to survive her crisis this time."Bastard!" A punch suddenly landed on Leonardo's face. The man was so shocked, he almost fell down because the punch was really very strong.Leonardo's men approached;

Hearing the doctor's words, Luka felt like his life was over. His heart stopped beating for a few seconds. He could not believe that Caterina was really dead. How could that be?

"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.

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

"Dad?" Caterina was taken completely by surprise when she came out of the room to find Dante standing at the door. She was petrified for a moment, staring at her father with a mind filled with question marks. Since when had he been there? Why was he suddenly there? What was he doing there? All these questions ruled Caterina's mind."Kate..." Dante said weakly. His eyes looked teary. His whole body was trembling. He couldn't help but feel, even more so after he learned that Caterina had died and finally came back from the dead. He did not expect that his daughter would go through so many difficult times because of him."I'm sorry." Dante said in a hoarse and trembling voice. He hugged Caterina very tightly. His embrace even made Caterina moan because of the pain in her wound."I'm sorry." Dante released the hug because he did not want to hurt his daughter further. He gently rubbed Caterina's shoulders. A knot of a smile appeared on his lips. However, his eyes were moist from crying.Wh

"I can help you if you want. You don't have to spend your time in prison. No one knows how long you'll be locked up there." The man in the formal suit spoke with emphasis. He had travelled from Mexico to Sydney after learning that Leonardo was involved in a criminal offense and had to deal with the law.If he had wanted to, Leonardo would have relied on his connections to get all charges dropped. However, he did not want to do that, as he realized that he was wrong. Moreover, Caterina forgave without wanting to prolong. He felt ashamed, angry, and disappointed in himself. There were countless mistakes he had made. There was no telling how much pain Caterina had received. He wanted to make up for all his mistakes, at least by being locked up in a detention cell for a few months."You don't have to do that. I wanted this." Leonardo replied expressionlessly.The man was quite surprised by Leonardo's refusal. How could he? How could he voluntarily submit himself to trial? He was the ruler

After a week in the hospital, Caterina was finally allowed to go home under the condition that she must always be under the doctor's care. Her pale face had also started to look fresh. Luka had really taken good care of her during her hospitalization. He even neglected his work during this week. For him, Caterina was more important than work. Even Adam also preferred to be in the hospital rather than working."Slow down." Luka said gently as he helped Caterina out of the car. He carried her, half-hugging her, to step into the house."Mommy!" Shopia ran over when she saw Caterina had finally returned. She hugged Caterina's legs very tightly, as there was a lot of longing building up."Where are the souvenirs, Mommy?" Shopia looked up, looking at Caterina with sparkling eyes. Her face looked radiant, a sweet smile gracing her lips. She didn't know anything about what had happened to Caterina, because Adam had told her that Luka and Caterina were travelling to Mexico for a week to take c

Caterina woke up in the morning when the doctor came to check her condition. She had slept very well the whole night, due to the effects of the medicine the doctor had given her. The woman frowned as she felt the glare of the light. Her eyes narrowed to look around. She was quite surprised to find Adam there."Uncle?" Caterina called out weakly.Adam approached with a smile. He felt guilty for all the things he had done to Caterina in the past. He felt guilty for hurting her. If he had known that Caterina was a victim of Leonardo's selfishness, he would never have antagonized her. He would have loved her with all his heart and regarded her as his own daughter."Stop calling me uncle; call me father from now on." Adam said with great tenderness. He rubbed the top of Caterina's head, the look in his eyes showing that he had truly accepted Caterina completely.Caterina smiled with a gentle nod.

"Kate! Where's Kate?" Adam ran in breathlessly. The whole city of Sydney recognized the middle-aged man. So, the security guards and doctors didn't dare to hold him back or reprimand him. The man looked very panicked, his face and eyes full of worry. Fortunately, he had not heard the news about Caterina's death. He had only heard from his men that Caterina was being treated at the hospital for being shot in her vitals.The door opened with Adam appearing behind it. The man looked at Caterina, who was sleeping on a hospital bed in the VIP room. There were numerous devices attached to her body."Dad?" Luka was surprised to see his father there. His brow furrowed, he looked around. His father had come alone."Why are you here?" Luka asked in a tone demanding an answer. He had told his men to keep this matter a secret from Adam or Shopia.

The man could not even believe that Caterina had died. The woman he had thought of as his only remaining family had left him.Alex took a weak step. His face was puffy and red. He was deeply lost and grieved over Caterina's death. There was no sentence that could describe his feelings at the moment. He even had to take care of the hospital administration when he was in such a state of grief."No! You can't take her to the cremation ground!" Luka said in a high tone. "Kate is still alive. Her body is still warm." He continued to deny. Perhaps because of his deep love, he couldn't accept reality.Alex ignored that sentence. He knew that what Luka was saying right now was just an expression of his pain. The longer he heard Luka's cries, the deeper his pain would become as he realized that he would never see Caterina again."Where am I?" The w
