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

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   58. I Like Her

    "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. Knowing that M

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   60. Fighting Over Kate

    Marco, who was trying to defeat Leo's men, looked quite shocked when he saw Caterina come out from where she was hiding. He regretted Caterina's decision to surrender and tried to paralyze Leo's remaining troops so he could quickly approach Caterina. “No, Kate!” Marco asked hopefully. However, he did not dare to scream. Confessing his feelings in front of her was enough to make their relationship awkward. Marco just didn't want to make Caterina even more uncomfortable because of it. Even so, he was also not ready to lose Caterina now.Leo raised his hand in the air, gesturing to his men to stop the attack because many of Marco's troops had died. Apart from that, the attack was stopped because Caterina had come out of her hiding place.Caterina kept her distance from Leo. She deliberately stood next to a large flower vase in the corner of the room so that if at any time she felt threatened, Caterina could use the flower vase as a weapon. Her eyes were also busy watching the surroundin

    "I don't want to make peace with you either!" Caterina shouted in Leo's face. The eyes that were now glaring sharply did not make Caterina's courage shrink. Her hatred for Leo made Caterina no longer afraid. Even if she had to die at Leo's hands because she refused to be taken home, Caterina would be ready.Caterina raised her head with a cynical face. She felt this was her last chance to kill Leo. The more she looked at Leo's face, the deeper the hatred became in Caterina. Remembering how that man abused her and then just left her like that made her very sick. Coupled with the news of Dante's death and Gabriel's condition, which was still in a coma, Caterina's hatred multiplied.“Why are you so stubborn, Kate!” shouted Leo, starting to get frustrated. His soul, which was more to fire, started to burn. His eyes were sharp as if he was ready to kill anyone who dared to go against his orders, including Caterina."I don't want to... go home with the person who killed my father. You!" Cat

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   62. Don't Kill Him

    Marco hissed sarcastically. The man realized that Leo's game was just a trap. If his guess is correct, then Caterina will know that he killed Dante. However, if he was wrong, Leo would definitely kill him. Marco glared when he saw Leo tug at the corners of his lips sarcastically.The room fell silent. Everyone looked eagerly, waiting for Marco's answer, but the man froze. Obviously Marco guessed correctly because he shot Dante in the head. Leo's trap really kills the opponent. Apart from being good at fighting, Leo is also very cunning in games. He always has brilliant ideas to knock out opponents. That's why until now, no one can beat Leonardo Bianchi from La Vendetta. Even his cruelty among the mafia has been recognized throughout the world. Whoever dares to go against him will end up wearing down. Leo also doesn't look at his opponents, whether they are from the upper class or not. For Leo, fighting Marco was nothing he should be afraid of.“You are truly cruel and cunning.” Marco

  • Love Under Mafia Rule   63. Meet Dante

    Caterina opened her eyes and immediately realized that she was already at Leo's headquarters. She tried to get up, but her hands and feet were tied with iron chains to the corner of the bed so she couldn't escape. She was angry because Leo made her a prisoner."Let go of me, bastard! What did you do to me? I'll kill you with my hands when I get free. Let go of me, bastard!"Caterina screamed like crazy. She tried to remove the iron chains that bound her hands and feet, causing her skin to hurt. Her wrists and feet were scratched, causing her to endure the pain."Argh! Let me go! Let me go! I'll kill you if you dare appear in front of me! You cruel devil!"Caterina sobbed with exhaustion and frustration. The iron chain was too big and strong. No matter how hard she tried, it couldn't just come off. Caterina gave up. She lay down and cried for her father."Marco, save me. Marco, let me go."Caterina still hopes that Marco will come to help her. Even though she herself was pessimistic be

    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
