Love Under Mafia Rule 83. Look For A Man Whose Love Is Greater
“I've apologized to you many times. Is it that hard to forgive?” Leonardo sounded annoyed after he heard Caterina's answer.Caterina looked up, turning to Leonardo. The corners of her lips raised, she smiled sarcastically at Leonardo's words. In the past, she apologized hundreds of times for mistakes she didn't make. However, Leonardo was always rude to her. This time she wanted Leonardo to experience the same thing. She wanted Leonardo to know how painful it was to be in his position. When he apologized, he was ignored.“Apologizing won't bring anything back.” Caterina said firmly.Even though Gabriel was safe and her father was slowly getting better, she still couldn't accept it. The two people she cared about had to suffer so much because of him. If forgiveness could restore everything, she would not feel this sorry.“Do you like him?” Dante asked with a smile.Because all this time he never knew that his daughter had a male friend. Moreover, their relationship was so close that Ga

“Where are you going?” Leonardo intercepted Caterina when she was about to leave the mansion. As Leonardo said, Caterina could not leave without his permission. He had to know what she was doing and where she was going.Caterina sighed harshly. She rolled her eyes lazily. With an annoyed sigh, she turned to look at Leonardo.“I'm going out for a while.”“Where?”“You don't need to know. I won't run away without my father; you know that too.”“But I need to know where you're going.”“Please don't make things difficult for me. Where I'm going is none of your business.”“Of course it's my business. You're still under La Vendetta's wing; there will be many dangers that await you when you're out of my sight.” Leonardo was looking for an excuse so that he could continue to control all of Caterina's activities.Caterina had repeatedly been in danger. Many times she almost lost her life. Leonardo did not want her to get hurt again. He really wanted to protect her completely.Caterina looked v

Caterina arrived at Marco's base feeling happy. She got out of the car carrying a fruit basket for Gabriel. Not just a fruit basket, she also carried several tote bags containing food, medicine, and other gifts. No matter how many gifts she wanted to give, they would never be able to repay what had happened to Gabriel. The man had almost lost his life.Caterina's steps were intercepted by the gatekeepers. They checked all of her belongings. They just wanted to be on the safe side, as Caterina had caused so much chaos there.“Marco asked me to come here,” Caterina said with firmness.After hearing that sentence, Caterina was allowed to enter.“Hey, did you come?” Marco looked very happy when he noticed Caterina's arrival. He rose to his feet, approached Caterina, and gave her a hug. He really missed her, but he had no reason to see her. Thanks to Gabriel's awakening from his coma, he had a reason to meet her.Caterina responded as usual; she returned Marco's hug.Marco released the hug

“Gabriel.” Rossie called out weakly. The call sounded like a mumble. She really didn't expect that the smile and all the tenderness that Gabriel had given her over the past few days turned out to be an act.The happiness that she had felt for the past few days turned out to be false. His chest ached when he learned the truth. Nothing hurts more than betrayal. Her hands clenched, she screamed in her heart. Why did the man she loved so much give her such pain?Love can't be forced, but she hoped Gabriel would melt after struggling so far.“I'm sorry, Rossie. I tried to love you, but I couldn't. You're very kind, but I can't force my heart to love you.” Gabriel said weakly.“Don't you realize who saved you from death? My sister took care of you from the time you were in a coma until you woke up. Every day she took care of you, take care of you, and made sure that you got enough attention. Can you replace every drop of sweat that my sister shed while she was taking care of you? Can you re

“I will make a calculation with him.” Leonardo said angrily. His fists were getting stronger. His jaw seemed to harden, a sign that he was really angry.Caterina was silent with an inexplicable feeling. She looked very confused and didn't know how to respond. Because Leonardo's reaction this time was different from usual. Usually the man never cares about her; in fact, it is often Leonardo who makes her hurt. Not just once or twice did Leonardo slap her, but many times. It was only natural that she felt this was a little strange.Leonardo was about to leave. Seeing Caterina hurt like that, he wanted revenge. A slap must be returned with a slap.“W-where are you going?” Caterina asked nervously. Leonardo's attitude this time really made her misbehave?Was that love still lingering in her chest? Why did she feel a little happy when she knew Leonardo cared about her? Didn't she hate that man so much after what happened so far? Why did her heart suddenly become so unstable like this?“I w

“What's wrong with your cheek? Did Leo beat you up again?” Dante asked with concern. He touched his daughter's cheek which was slightly swollen with redness and purplish blue. The corners of her lips were also cracked. He looked very angry.Caterina shook her head, smiling faintly at her father's question. She loved it when her father worried about her, because she felt loved.“I wasn't careful enough, so I slipped while bathing. My cheek hit the doorknob.” Caterina tried to make excuses. She didn't want to make her father feel worried. Moreover, the man's condition had not fully recovered.Dante obviously didn't believe her. A bump wound and a slap wound were very different. He could tell the difference very easily. However, because his daughter chose to lie, he also chose to believe. He respected his daughter's every decision. Caterina lying must have a purpose. And he was sure Caterina was worried about his health.“How's your friend?” Dante tried to change the subject.“He's getti

The atmosphere in the dining room this time was different from usual. There was no conversation at all, only the sound of spoons and forks clashing with plates to break the silence. It was tense and awkward.Marco sighed harshly. A few days ago, he still saw his sister and Gabriel joking and laughing together. They looked so intimate and compatible, like a couple. However, everything changed after Caterina came to visit him. Even their sitting position was now a little far apart, no longer side by side as before.Marco looked at his sister carefully. She looked like someone who had no zest for life at all. She just stirred the food on her plate, as if she didn't want to eat it.Again, Marco sighed harshly. He didn't like his sister's attitude. He wanted Rossie to be back to her old self, full of vigor and cheerfulness.“Do you really love me?” Gabriel asked, breaking the silence between the three of them.Rossie looked up; she looked at Gabriel with an incomprehensible look.

Caterina stepped towards the desk with caution. She looked around, making sure no one was looking. This was because Leonardo didn't allow her to use any communication devices.“What do you want?”Caterina's steps stopped after she heard that sentence. She turned around, looking at Leonardo, who was now standing behind her suspiciously. The man's gaze was deep, full of curiosity.“There's something I want to find out the truth about. Please let me go this time; I want to make sure that it is you or Marco who has lied.” Caterina said with emphasis.Leonardo's brow furrowed after he heard that sentence. Want to find out the truth?“So, you still don't trust me?”“I want to trust you, but it's hard for me to do that after what you did to me. My father says that i should trust you, but my heart says otherwise. I can't rest until I know the truth.”Leonardo sighed harshly.“Do what you want to do.” He looked so resigned. Because he no longer had the energy to be angry. He wanted to know wha

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
