“All the ingredients are gathered.” Marco commented after he took out all the groceries from his bag. He planned to cook pasta tonight for dinner. It turned out that he had cooking skills, even better than Caterina.

Unlike Leonardo, whose parents were also mobsters, Marco was a child who grew up without parents. He and his sister grew up on the streets. He did everything he could to make his sister happy. Even willing to work since he was a teenager to pay for his sister's school fees.

Rossie has a great desire to go to school. Her dream since she was a child was to become a doctor. Her father and mother died of illness, so she didn't want to lose the only sibling she had. She wanted to be a good doctor so that she could treat her brother when he was sick in the future. Luckily, that goal was finally achieved.

“So, what are your goals?” Caterina asked as she helped Marco prepare the pasta ingredients.

They had discussed this matter yesterday. Marco told Caterina all about it. It made

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   46. Kissing

    Tonight Caterina couldn't sleep. She stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky filled with stars. She took several deep breaths, feeling a little restless. Her heart couldn't calm down since dinner.“Kate!” A call and a knock on the bedroom door interrupted Caterina's thoughts. She turned around, then went to open the door."You haven't slept yet?" Marco asked with his gentle gaze.Caterina shook her head. "I couldn't sleep.""Why?"“I don’t know. I just feel a little uneasy.”“I brought you warm milk. I was relaxing in the garden, then saw you daydreaming on the balcony. So, I decided to come to you.” Marco explained briefly.Caterina accepted the glass with a faint smile. Maybe drinking warm milk can make her mind a little more relaxed."Can I come in?""Please." Caterina allowed it. They had become very close over the past month. She never thought anything like that. The gentle and caring attitude that Marco gave reminded her of Gabriel. The more he gets to know Marco, the more h

    Not what Caterina imagined. This time Marco returned there before noon. He brought a lot of food stock, then filled the refrigerator until it was full. He seemed a little awkward when he met Caterina because he couldn't stop thinking about what they had done last night.Marco's thoughts started to run wild. Seeing Caterina's response, he began to think that Caterina loved him too. He began to hope for a happy ending for them. If no one came to disturb him, he was sure he could melt Caterina's heart and invite her to live together.“You just relax here. I will prepare a lunch menu. I want to make a surprise. Just don't go into the kitchen until I call you." Caterina said excitedly. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Marco and his father in the front room. The two men began trying to build a good relationship by drinking coffee together while watching television."Okay." Both of them couldn't wait for the lunch menu that Caterina would provide. Both of them seemed equally enthusiastic.

    Leonardo had no choice but to threaten. Because he knew Dante wouldn't want to come back if he didn't act very hard.Dante turned to look at the muzzle of the rifle. He smiled faintly, there was no fear showing in the slightest on his face. He looked calm, because he was used to being threatened with a gun."You remember, I was the one who taught you how to hold a gun." Dante remembers memories of the past. In fact, he wanted a son, but his late wife only left him a daughter. The girls' part is unreliable. He has really liked Leonardo since he was little, even when Leonardo and Caterina were involved in a child fight, he would defend Leonardo even more. For him, Caterina was always wrong.Dante is grateful that now his heart's eyes are open to realize how bad he was at being a father. Luckily he still had time to fix everything. He finally realized how lucky he was to have Caterina as his daughter.The sound of gunfire broke the silence. Dante fell with his head covered in blood. The

    In the dark of night, Leonardo quickly took Dante to his base, every second was precious, making the hot-blooded man worried about Dante's safety. On the way to headquarters, Leonardo looked worried and held back his anger. The man felt he had to make sure Dante was okay even though fresh blood was flowing all over Dante's body. Leonardo wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. In fact, the wound he felt was no more painful than seeing Caterina with her enemy. For some reason, the man was angry when he saw Caterina with Marco. His chest felt hot, but the man was still reluctant to admit his feelings. He tried to deny that the feelings that arose were jealousy because he had fallen in love with Caterina.“Ben, call the most skilled doctor in the country and have him treat Dante. I don't want to know how, what is clear is that Dante must be saved!"“Okay, sir. I happen to know several of Dante's colleagues who are quite professional. I will contact him.”"Good. He is quite skilled

    "I can't believe you've been living with a man like Leo all this time. Your father, who had clearly served him for years, could be killed so easily. He really is a devil!” Marco comes with a bottle of yogurt for Caterina.“He shot your father in the head because he failed to find you. He is a complete psychopath.”Caterina, who was sitting pensively thinking about Dante, suddenly gasped and wiped her tears. The anger and revenge burning in her heart made Caterina shed tears. His hatred for Leonardo was now at its peak. There was no more apology he would give to that man. The man she once loved so much has now turned into the person she hates the most. Time changes it very quickly. Caterina felt annoyed because she once loved someone like Leonardo.“Don't worry, Kate. I'm on your side now. We must unite to avenge each other against Leo. If we unite, wouldn't we be able to kill him easily?”“You thought it would be that easy? Even his men alone are almost fifty percent of the people in

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   52. Rossie Anger

    Rossie started to get suspicious because recently Marco rarely came home to the mansion. The luxurious mansion that was used as his headquarters and residence with Rossie and his other subordinates looked very different without Marco's presence. Rossie, who was busy taking care of Gabriel, soon realized that her older brother had not been home for a long time. After leaving Gabriel's room, Rossie approached Marco's study and met her brother's right hand.“Why doesn't Marco ever go home to the mansion? Does he have work out of town?" Rossie asked.She asked because she already had a bad feeling. However, in order to break this feeling, Rossie finally asked Marco's men who were at the mansion. To be more sure, Rossie also asked Marco's right hand directly."Mr. Marco no longer has work outside the city. However, it seems like he really has other work that needs to be done quickly.”"Fast? He hasn't been home for two weeks. Are you sure he's okay? I'm starting to worry.” Rossie presses f

    Marco had just landed his hips on the sofa when Rossie approached with searching eyes. Rossie, who had been waiting for Marco to return to the mansion, couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer. He immediately mentioned Caterina's presence at headquarters.“I thought you would never return to the mansion again. Wouldn't living with Kate be more fun?”Rossie folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes widened and her lips smiled sarcastically when she saw Marco's face, which looked surprised by her question. Now everything is clear. The reason why Marco rarely comes home to the mansion is Caterina. Rossie really wanted to know what was going on in Marco's mind, why the man was protecting Caterina and not killing her."What are you talking about?" Marco tried to avoid eye contact with Rossie. However, Rossie immediately caught her brother's gaze.“Don't act like you don't know. I know that you hid Rossie in another base. Even I didn't know that you had a base there." It seems like you r

    "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

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.

    "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. She was very happy with Adam's behavior because she felt as if she had a loving father. All th

    "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. Why was his father suddenly there?"Do you think I'm that cruel? I told you that I have recognized Kate as my daughter-in-law. Why would you keep a matt

    "I'll take care of the administration so that we can take Kate's body directly to the crematorium for cremation." Alex said with a trembling voice. 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

    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? This morning he was still joking with Caterina. He had only left her for a few hours because Caterina was going to choose a wedding dress. They were going to get married in the near future, but now it looked like it would never happen. This was because the bride-to-be was gone.Luka fell to his knees on the floor. He couldn't even cry because he was too shocked to hear the news. His face looked very pale, his eyes wide open.Alex immediately ran into the room. He ran over to Caterina. His tears immediately broke after he saw the pale face of Caterina who was sleeping on the operating bed. The eyes were now tightly closed. Her beautiful face looked very pale."Kate! You can't die! Who gave you permission to die?!" Leonardo's screams sounded so heartbreaking. He shook Caterina's body, hoping that she would rise
