Love Under Mafia Rule 88. Denial
“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. Marco als

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

“Just say it.” Caterina reiterated, as Marco seemed hesitant to say.Marco was silent for a long time; only his heavy breathing could be heard. He had not expected his lie to be exposed so soon. If Dante was really dead, then the secret would never be revealed.“Marco!” Caterina was getting impatient. She had been holding back since before; now her stock of patience was running low. She wanted to know if she had really been lied to by Marco or not.Again, Marco sighed heavily. He looked up; he looked deeply into Caterina's eyes, as if he wanted to explain everything through his eyes. Because his mouth felt very heavy to speak.“Sorry.” That was all Marco could finally say. An apology that explained everything.Caterina's face immediately changed after she heard the word sorry come out of Marco's mouth. She looked very disappointed. Her breathing sounded heavy; she looked down to regulate her emotions so as not to explode at that moment.All this time Caterina had trusted Marco too muc

Leonardo smiled at the counter threat he received from Marco. Marco is nothing to him; he can finish the man easily. With just a snap of his fingers, he could have finished Marco right then and there.Meanwhile, Marco looked so angry and full of emotions. He really wasn't ready for his friendship with Caterina to turn back into an enemy. He had loved her for several months. He had gotten used to her feelings of love. Even Rossie had begun to think about accepting Caterina as her friend, because now Rossie and Gabriel were trying to make love.Leonardo took money out of his pocket. He put the money on the table to pay for the food and drinks he ordered. After that, he left the café.Caterina had disappeared from the café area when Leonardo looked for her. He sighed deeply, relieved that Marco's lie had finally been exposed. He didn't need to bother clarifying here and there; the truth would always find its way to the surface.Leonardo got into his car and then hurriedly drove home.Jus

“Has there been any news from Alex?” Caterina asked Leonardo as they ate dinner together. It had been a week since Alex left, and she hadn't heard from him at all. She didn't know if her friend was okay or not.“He's fine.” Leonardo answered as if he knew what Caterina was thinking. “He told me not to worry. He promised to come home safe and sound, so he'll never break his promise.Caterina let out a deep breath after she heard that sentence. There was nothing she wanted to hear other than what Leonardo had just said. She just wanted Alex to come home okay.“You're not going after him?” Caterina stared deeply. Hoping Leonardo would fly after Alex and make sure the man managed to finish Ben and return home okay. She was very worried because Alex left with only two friends. While they didn't know what dangers they would face there. They didn't know how many enemies they had.“I've told you what my reason is, haven't I?” Leonardo reminded.Caterina was silent. Leonardo had indeed explain

“Married to you?” Caterina laughed because she found it so funny. Back then, she had pursued Leonardo desperately, but all she got was hatred and contempt. Then now, when she had indulged him to get rid of her love, he suddenly asked her to marry him?What exactly did he want from her?“Have you gone mad?” Caterina asked in a sarcastic tone. She had no idea what was going through Leonardo's mind right now.“You don't need to marry her just to control her life. You just keep me here, you make me her substitute. You can do whatever you want to me, but please let Kate go. Let her leave here and live her life well. Kate has apologized to you so many times, I think it's a bit much for you to marry her.” Dante said at length. He was willing to sacrifice himself, as long as Caterina could escape from La Vendetta.Leonardo sighed deeply. Is he that bad in the eyes of Caterina and Dante right now? Until his good intentions to marry Caterina were considered a plan to make things difficult for h

“Sir, there's a little problem.” A man approached Leonardo in the dining room. Leonardo turned to look at his men. The expression on his face instantly turned flat but deadly.“We lost information about Alex. He sent out a signal for help before he completely lost contact.” The man said with a face full of sympathy.Leonardo was quite surprised when he heard that sentence. His hands clenched into tight fists. His jaw hardened with a clearly defined neck vein. His face turned red. He did not expect to get bad news about Alex under these circumstances.Leonardo's heart was beating very fast. He felt anxious. Because Alex was not just a subordinate to him. For him, the man was his brother. He trusted Alex so much that he confidently sent him along with two others. He firmly believed that Alex would be able to finish Ben off with his own hands.However, it seems that Leonardo's calculations were off. It looks like Ben has quite a strong connection in a foreign country. It's true what Cate

"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

"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
