"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

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   53. Rossie's Worries

    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

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   54. Kate And Rossie Fight

    Rossie secretly entered Marco's study when the man was not there. He snuck over and looked for her older brother's schedule on a pile of folders. That's where Rossie finally found out that next weekend Marco would be busy with sending drug and weapons packages.Rossie deliberately looked for the right time to come to the base where Caterina was hidden. When Marco wasn't around, she could easily find Caterina and kill her. Rosie's hatred for Caterina is at the limit. She felt that the woman deserved to die because she had taken away part of her happiness.Gabriel, the person he has been after for a long time, turns out to like Caterina. This made Rossie angry. She did whatever it took to be the number one person in Gabriel's life. However, Caterina's presence destroys everything. Caterina makes Gabriel's world focus only on her and just forgets about Rossie. Obviously the girl didn't accept it.Jealousy makes Rossie hold a grudge against Caterina. If she can't have Gabriel, then Gabrie

    Marco looked at Caterina for a moment, then looked back at Rossie and helped his sister to get up. With so many bruises and several wounds on Rossie's body, the girl cornered Caterina even more. However, seeing Marco's eyes that had no anger in them, Caterina was reluctant to say anything else. She was silent and did not deny what Rossie said."Enough. Rossie, we have to go home.” Marco supported his younger brother's body. Even in his weak condition, Rossie could still glare and grin sarcastically at Caterina.Even though he didn't believe Rossie, he just wanted to calm his sister down. He asked Caterina to go back to her room to rest, while he took Rossie home to the mansion for treatment."The gun is already in your hands, but why not use it to kill that bastard woman?" asked Rossie when she was taken into the car.On the way home, Marco didn't talk to Rossie at all. He knew his sister was in pain, so he didn't want to blame her too much. Although on the other hand he was quite hap

    “Rossie said you liked me. And she doesn't like that. Is it true? You like me?"Marco was stunned for a moment when he heard Caterina's question, then he laughed while looking away. Unbeknownst to Caterina, the man swallowed heavily. He didn't expect that Rossie would say that to Caterina.Marco tried to act as relaxed and calm as possible in front of Caterina. He didn't want to make his feelings too obvious. If Rossie could only find out, even though she had covered it up, that doesn't mean Caterina didn't realize it too. For this reason, he felt he had to be careful in giving answers.“I also find it unreasonable. Remembering that all this time I have always considered you a good friend. However, I can't get rid of that curiosity and want to hear a direct answer from you," Caterina continued.“Don't listen to her, Kate. Rossie was just talking casually. You're right, we're just good friends. How could I like you? I think of you as a little brother, just like Rossie.""So, it's not t

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   57. Misunderstanding

    The alarm sound at the headquarters suddenly sounded. The danger sign that Marco deliberately put up when an enemy attacked shocked both of them. Marco ran to the main door and locked it, then peeked out the window. His eyes widened completely when he saw many black cars parked in front of the fence at his headquarters.The big men immediately broke in by forcing the fence open. Stupidly, Marco didn't bring many troops to guard the base.Marco immediately pressed the danger button connected to his men's room. Even though there weren't many men on guard at the headquarters, at least there were still some who could be used to measure time. Before Caterina and Marco had time to storm Leo's headquarters, Leo suddenly arrived and brought a group of troops. This made Marco quite panicked. Who knows where Caterina's whereabouts reached Leo's ears, but he wasn't prepared if Caterina was taken by his enemy.“Hide, Kate!”Marco grabbed Caterina's hand. While his men were trying to fight Leo's t

    "Why did you take me away?" Caterina asked when they arrived at an underground passage connected to one of the old buildings."Even though I could have killed him. Didn't you see that we had succeeded in paralyzing his troops?" She continued. The woman was still upset because she failed to kill Leo.Marco didn't answer. Just seeing the many wounds on Caterina's body made him weak, especially if he saw the woman dead there. The fear of losing made Marco decide to withdraw. The man just wanted to be with Caterina longer and make lots of memories together as good friends.Caterina was still grumbling the whole way through the underground passage. Meanwhile, Marco only occasionally responded with a smile.When they came out of the secret door in the old building, Marco's men who knew the secret code were seen waiting for the two of them. The car used to take them back to the mansion had also been prepared. Caterina was secretly amazed by everything Marco had prepared.“What building is th

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   59. Leonardo Who Never Gave Up

    Caterina sat on the edge of the bed. The classic feel in the room she currently lives in reminds Caterina of her father. No matter how hard she hides her tears, in the end they will fall because of her longing and guilt for Dante. Caterina fingered the pendant that Dante had given her, which was still around her neck, while closing her eyes. In silence, she prayed for eternity for her father in heaven. She didn't ask for much; Caterina just wanted Dante to rest in peace without carrying a grudge.“Dad, even if I die, I will not forgive that bastard. I swear I will avenge you on him. Heads must be paid for heads; lives must be paid for lives. Don't cry there, and be happy wherever you are," said Caterina while wiping the tears from her cheeks.The clock is moving very slowly. Caterina still couldn't close her eyes and decided to count the seconds that passed by while sighing. The woman remembered Marco's confession in front of many people. It made her very uncomfortable.

    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

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