The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Forty Six
Valentina"Good morning, everyone." Matteo said the moment he walked into the sitting room.At nine in the morning.My fingers traced the rim of my coffee cup, the sight of Matteo warming me up more than it ever did. Ethan satvacross from me, flipping through pages of some document, his sharp eyes occasionally flicking toward me, then Matteo."Look who the cat dragged out of bed." Ethan clicked his tongue at Matteo in a teasing wayValerie sat next to him, arks folded across her chest, as she tried to keep herself from laughing."What can I say? I had a nice night."My cheeks flamed up from the suggestion in his words, which Ethan and Valerie had caught on before.Oh, help me."We can tell." Valerie teased. "But we need to get back to business.""We need to start putting the pieces together. We can't just wait around for answers. What do we know so far?" She continued, her voice cutting through the silence like a knife.I sneaked a glance at Matteo, who was staring at me already. His

Matteo"And then we'll bring her back."The final phase.The drive to the family estate where Luca was currently residing felt like a slow crawl into the mouth of hell. Valentina sat beside me in the car, her fingers tapping anxiously on the armrest.Every muscle in my body was tense, my knuckles white as I gripped the steering wheel, trying to maintain some sort of control.Luca Nevarro.The name tasted bitter on my tongue. Like poison. I knew my brother was as dangerous as they came, more dangerous than anyone realized.He was one of the reasons why I moved out of the old estate early.And now, there was a real possibility that he was involved with Isabella’s disappearance. If that was true, then everything had just gotten worse.Luca wasn't someone you confronted.He wasn't someone you just confronted. He wasn't the type of man who did something just for the sake of doing it.Still, I wasn’t going to let that stop me. Not this time.Valentina hadn't said much since Jackson showed u

Valentina."That bastard."The drive back from the family estate was heavy with unspoken tension. Matteo hadn't said a word since we left Luca's cold and mocking smile behind. His jaw was clenched tight, and his grip on the steering wheel had his knuckles white.Just like when we were going to the estate.I could see the storm brewing in him. The frustration, the anger, and most of all, the fear that Luca might be telling the truth and we were nowhere close to finding my sister. Or that she had chosen to leave without persuasion.To stopping Matteo from losing his place as the Mafia Don.But I knew that wouldn't happen. Not for a second.Isabella would never abandon me like that. Luca was playing his games, twisting the truth. I could see it in his eyes when we confronted him, that glint of satisfaction knowing he had Matteo right where he wanted him.Doubting.Second guessing.Attacking.My thoughts spun around, replaying the encounter with Luca over and over. Every word, every flick

Valentina."I'm so sorry." I whispered, placing a kiss on his cheek.The moon hung low, its silver light barely breaking through the canopy of trees as I made my way down the forest path.The same path I took the night when I ran away from Matteo.Every step seemed to echo in the silence, the crunch of leaves beneath my boots, the only sound accompanying the rapid beating of my heart. I kept glancing over my shoulder, feeling the weight of unseen eyes watching me.But I was alone.At least, I hoped I was.I had no idea if he would be there tonight. But desperation had a way of twisting your instincts, pushing you into trusting people you had no business even knowing.The man from the woods. That’s who I was meeting tonight.I ran into him a few days ago during a moment of weakness when I needed to clear my mind from the mess of Matteo's secrets and protectiveness. He knew something about my sister.I needed to know what it wasI hoped I didn't make a mistake coming back to this place.

Valentina."Trust no one."The house was still when I returned, the silence settling over me like a heavy blanket. My heart pounded in my chest as I walked into the kitchen, each footsteps heavier than the last.The conversation with the man in the woods replayed in my mind, his warning echoing in my ears.I didn't even know his name.Luca wouldn't go down easily. Once I step into his world, there's no turning back.But I had no choice.I needed to save my sister, and I would do whatever it took. However, lying to Matteo, sneaking out in the dead of night, was a betrayal I wasn't sure I could forgive myself for.He'd hate me for it, after everything we talked about some days back, but I couldn't tell him the truth.Not now.Not yet.The door to our bedroom stared at me from ahead, slightly ajar, a sliver of moonlight casting a pale glow through the crack. I pushed it open quietly, hoping Matteo would still be asleep.He wasn't.He lay on the bed, propped up on one elbow, his blue eyes

Valentina."I love you." He had murmured multiple times when we were in bed.I love him.The rest of the day passed in a haze of careful planning and quiet tension. Matteo, unaware of the storm brewing beneath my calm exterior, left early in the morning to handle some business with Ethan.His parting kiss had lingered on my lips, the warmth of his touch almost making me reconsider everything.But I had no choice.I was about to risk my life by trusting a stranger.I spent the rest of the day preparing in secret, my heart racing every time Valerie walked past the room. Each moment felt like it could be the one where someone would knock, ask me why I wasn't in the living room with Valerie or playing with the baby like I had taken to, or why I had disappeared for most of the afternoon.I moved like a ghost, packing the essentials. Cash, a burner phone, and a small knife Matteo wouldn't miss from his collection. While my hand to hand combat skills had increased, the opportunity to learn h

Valentina"You can't leave before the party starts." Luca said, his lips spread out in a devious grin.The silence that stretched between us was suffocating. Luca's men remained still, their eyes trained on me, waiting for some command, some signal from him to act.But Luca wasn’t in a hurry.He circled me slowly, his predatory gaze locked onto mine, calculating, testing my every move.I swallowed hard, my throat dry as sandpaper. The knife in my hand felt like a child’s toy, useless against the guns in those men's hands. Every muscle in my body was taut, every instinct screaming at me to run.But where would I go?That's what I got from listening to a man I knew nothing about. A man I found in the woods."You were so focused, so determined," Luca drawled, his voice smooth and taunting. "I just had to spring this up after hiding what you were coming for."His words sliced through the air, cutting deeper than any blade. My stomach churned, a sickening feeling creeping into my veins."W

Valentina."I love Isabella, Valentina. And she chose me. Not Matteo. Not you. Me."I didn’t believe him.She chose me. Not Matteo. Not you. Me.Luca's words cut deep, sharp as any blade, but I refused to let them sink in. He stood there, his green eyes gleaming with that dark, dangerous confidence, expecting me to break under the weight of his revelations.But I wasn’t going to break.Not for him."No," the word came out as a whisper, the cold air making it feel like a vice around my throat as I shook my head. "You're lying."Isabella would never chose him.Luca's smirk faltered, just for a second, before returning in full force. He circled me like a predator stalking its prey, but I didn't flinch.Not this time."You think I'm lying?" He taunted, his voice smooth like velvet. "You think Isabella would choose Matteo? You think she loved Matteo?"I didn't think. I knew it.And that slight slip earlier confirmed it.My heart pounded so forcefully in my chest that I was scared it was ab

ValentinaThe cell was cold.Damp.The stench of mold and rusted metal was thick in the air, making it hard to breathe.I could barely see Isabella in the corner, her figure slumped against the wall. The darkness swallowed everything whole, but I could hear her ragged breathing. Each exhale was a painful reminder of what he had done to her, and what be continued doingEvery day, they took her. And every day, she came back worse.Broken.I was next. I knew it, deep in my bones, but that want enough to stop the fear, the bone deep terror of what awaited me.The door screeched open again, the sound grating on my nerves. My heart jumped in my chest.No. Not again.I scrambled to my feet, my legs shaky, but I forced myself to stand between the door and Isabella. I had to protect her. I had to do something.The light from the hallway spilled into the cell, casting long shadows as Luca's men stepped inside. Panic clawed at my throat as one of them grabbed Isabella by the arm, dragging her li

Valentina."You were never meant to be anything more than a replacement, Valentina. It was always about Isabella."My legs felt weak.If Isabella wasn't staring at me, I was not sure I wouldn't have fallen to the floor or ran after him after he walked away.No.No, no, no.For months, I had tried to convince myself that Matteo only saw me as the replacement for Isabella. I tried to stop myself from falling for the one man I shouldn't have.I gasped, trying to suck in a breath, but the air felt like it was choking me. The warehouse lights flickered dimly overhead, casting eerie shadows across the cold concrete floor.The walls, they were closing in, suffocating me.How could he? How could he have used me like this? My throat tightened as the reality of it hit me like a sledgehammer.Everything.. every touch, every kiss, every word whispered. It had been all a game to him.I was nothing but a plaything."Look at you," Luca’s voice slithered through the silence, snapping me out of my tho

Matteo."If Valentina means that much to you, you would do it."After today, Valentina would want nothing to do with me.The cold concrete floor of the warehouse echoed with the sound of Luca’s footsteps as he paced in front of us.His lips were curled into the same cruel smile like that day years back, his eyes gleaming with triumph.I stood there, my fists clenched, barely keeping my rage in check. Valentina and Isabella were still on the floor, men surrounding them.My heart clenched whenever I caught Valentina’s eyes... full of defiance."Look at you, Matteo," Luca sneered, stopping in front of me. "The almighty Don, brought to his knees. Oh, how the mighty fall."I ground my teeth, resisting the urge to lunge at him. "You have no idea what you're doing, Luca. Stop this."Luca threw his head back and laughed, a deep guttural sound. "Oh, I think I know exactly what I'm doing. For years, I've watched you pretend to be the better son, the heir to everything my father built. But you n

Valentina.The wind whipped through my hair as we sped down the empty road, the tires of Isabella’s car humming against the quiet pavement.It was quiet.Too quiet.I gripped the door handle tighter as the tension in my chest continued to build every past second. The conversation with mom still echoed in my mind, her cold eyes, the way she dismissed us like we didn't even matter.Isabella’s eyes flicked to the rearviee mirror, and I saw her jaw clench, the same way it had when we were leaving the Russo's mansion.The place we had called home for years."Do you think she was lying?" I asked, finding my voice after so many hours."Does it matter?" Isabella’s voice was cold, her fingers tight on the steering wheel. "She's never going to tell us the truth."I didn't have the energy to argue with her.Maybe she was tired.As we neared the highway, Isabella glanced over at me. “We’ll lay low at the safe house for a few days. I’ve already arranged everything.”"Can't I call Matteo now?"Her

Valentina."It's now or never."I had no idea where my mother was residing, but Isabella definitely thought she was still in our old mansion because she drove us there in a secret car from her secret apartment garage.There was so much I did not know about my sister.Isabella had remained quiet beside me during the drive, the occasional clench of her jaw or a glance toward me was the only sign that she was equally tensed.We weren't taking an easy task.Our mother, Gloria Russo, was no simple woman. She had always been the master manipulator, weaving stories and controlling our lives. Plus, I knew she was still mad because I never helped her with Giovanni and our father's case.But I hoped that beneath the icy exterior, there might be some plausible explanation for why she did what she did.Something to help me see my mother as something more than a monster.Isabella pulled the car to a stop in front of the Russo mansion, the massive iron gates opening slowly as we were waved inside.

Matteo.*I'm sorry. I had to save Isabella myself.*Those words were the only thing written in the note she left on the pillow for me.The walls of the safe house felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with their silence.I paced back and forth across the worn wooden floor, my fists clenched at my sides at frustration built up inside me.Valentina wasn't here.She hadn't been here for three days now.And every minute that passed without me knowing where she was felt like a slow descent into madness.Where the hell was she?"Where is she?" I growled for what felt like the hundredth time, directing the question at Ethan, who stood by the window, staring into the night.His expression was neutral, which only infuriated me more.How could he be so calm when Valentina was missing?"I don't know." He said quietly, his tone far too causal for my liking."Fuck." I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the strands as if the pain would somehow clear the chaos in my mind. "I had no idea

Valentina."Run, Valentina. Run."The wind howled through the cracked window, sending a faint whistle into the dilapidated apartment as Isabella guided me inside.Dust clung to the air, illuminated by the dim moonlight streaming in through the shattered blinds. My steps echoed off the wooden floor, every creak a reminder of how far we'd come.The miles we'd ran with Isabella leading the way while I ran after her blindly."This... yours?" I whispered, fear of Luca creeping in clear every time I closed my eyes as I took in the remnants of a life long abandoned.The place smelled of mildew and neglect, yet beneath the decay, there was something almost... familiar.Isabella nodded, her face shadowed in the dim light. "Before everything that happened, yes." Her voice was brittle, like she was confessing a long buried secret. "I used to come here when everything was too much. To think. It was my.... escape."I turned, taking in the peeling wallpaper, the broken furniture, and the empty wall

Valentina."I belong here, Valentina."The cold air bit into my skin as two men dragged me through the dimly lit hallway, my arms bound behind my back.The echoes of their footsteps bounced off the concrete walls, a steady, ominous rhythm that sent chills down my spine.I tried not to think about what had just happened, about the words that had left Isabella’s lips, but they replayed in my head like a broken record."I belong here, Valentina. I belong with Luca."No. She didn’t mean it. She couldn’t have.My sister was brainwashed. That had to be it. Luca had done something to her, twisted her mind, poisoned her against me. There was no way she had chosen this life, chosen him.She had loved Matteo. I knew she had. We'd talked about it, whispered her fears and hopes late into the night when we were younger. She had dreamed of eloping with him, finding freedom together.Childish dreams.But her dreams.That wasn’t the same woman who had stood before me.Luca's men said nothing as they

He stood there, his green eyes gleaming with that dark, dangerous confidence, expecting me to break under the weight of his revelations.But I wasn’t going to break.Not for him."No," the word came out as a whisper, the cold air making it feel like a vice around my throat as I shook my head.
