The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Fifty
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

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

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

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."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.

Valentina.Matteo woke up twelve hours after his surgery. I was there, standing in the corner of the room, shrouded in the shadows cast by the dim hospital lighting. I'd stayed long after the others had been ushered out... Valerie, Lorenzo, Ethan... all of them trying to coax me into taking a moment to rest, to eat, to breathe.But I couldn't leave him.When his eyes finally fluttered open, confusion clouded his expression. Those beautiful eyes wandered, tracing the IV in his arm, the bandages around his neck, and the faint rhythm of the heart monitor beside him.He looked so lost.I wanted to rush at him, to grab his hand, to tell him he was safe. But my feet felt like lead, my chest tightening with an ache that I didn't know how to express.So I stayed where I was, watching him from afar. The staff couldn't believe I was the same woman who had almost thrown herself on his bed so I would be wheeled in with him.Matteo murmured something... a weak, hoarse sound I couldn't make out..

Valentina."Matteo!" The scream ripped from my throat, raw and primal, echoing off the walls. My hands trembled as I pressed them harder against the gaping wound on his neck. Blood seeped between my fingers, warm and sticky, staining my skin and my soul."No, no, no," I choked out, my voice cracking as I leaned over him. "Matteo, stay with me. Please, stay with me."His face was getting paler with every second that passed, his chest rising and falling in those shallow, uneven rhythms.I pressed harder against the wound, ignoring the way my hands shook, ignoring the tears streaming down my face. "You're not leaving me," I whispered fiercely. "Do you hear me? You're not allowed to leave me!""Somebody, help!"Anybody.Isabella stood near the edge of the room, arms crossed and face unreadable. Her lips twisted into that maddening, faint smirk as Luca’s... there had to be his... men darted around her, their boots pounding against the floor.The moment the faint wail of sirens broke thro

Valentina.The silence after a gunshot could be deafening, a void that swallows everything. No one ever talked about how it felt to pull the trigger that took a life, even if said life had been dead long before you pulled that trigger.I stood there, my arms hanging limp by the sides, the gun slipping from my hand to clatter on the blood-streaked floor. My chest heaved with shallow breaths as I stared at her... our mother, slumped and motionless.So quiet in the face of death.Her lifeless eyes stared back at me, now glassy and unseeing. Blood pooled around her head, soaking into the floor, a dark halo of guilt I'd painted myself."No," I whispered, the word tasting foreign and hollow.My knees buckled, but I didn't fall. My body was rooted, trapped in this moment, as if time itself refused to let me leave.What had I done? From the corner of my vision, Isabella shifted. Her face fixed with a mask of indifference, though her lips were curling ever so slightly into a smirk that sent

Matteo.The metallic tang of blood filled my nostrils, sharp and suffocating. Luca's knee drove deeper into my chest, pinning me to the blood-slick floor. The knife in his hand pressed harder against my throat, its edge biting into flesh with a cold, merciless precision.Warmth spread across my neck, the metallic smell sharp in the air. I gasped, the air a fleeting luxury as my body thrashed instinctively beneath his weight."Look at you," Luca sneered, his voice low, dripping with venom. "The great Matteo Nevarro reduced to this. Pathetic." His face hovered just above mine, his grin unhinged, his green eyes alight with triumph. My vision blurred, edges darkening as the oxygen slipped away. My hands clawed at his wrists, my fingers trembling with desperation, but his grip remained unyielding.The lunatic was truly going to kill me.Then, as the world began to darken, her face appeared. Valentina. Her laughter, light and rare, the way her lips curled despite the weight of her own

Matteo."I'll kill you with my own hands, Luca."My breath came in sharp, controlled bursts as I squared off with Luca. His men surrounded us, their guns trained on me, and Lorenzo’s men who had survived the chaos outside. The air in the room was electric, thick with tension, and the metallic tang of blood."I should have known," I continued before he said anything again, keeping my voice low yet steady. "I should've known you'd never stop until you destroyed everything."Luca had always wanted what wasn't meant for him. Even from a younger age, when he had come to live with my father and I, alongside his mother and sister, he had wanted everything I had.Every toy.Every achievement.He simply wanted to have it all. And every single time he got it then he destroyed it afterwards. He burnt the toys, he tore the certificates, he told the lesson teachers to leave or he'll scar them."Destroyed?" Luca echoed, a laugh bursting from him, dark and sharp. "You're standing in front of the onl

Matteo."I hate you. Do you hear me? I HATE YOU."My hands had lingered on the cold steel of the door handle when she screamed those words, the echo of the lock sliding into place still ringing in my ears.It wasn't a decision I had taken lightly.Locking Valentina up in a room with her psycho of a mother to keep her safe was probably the dumbest thing I had ever done, but it was worth it. If it gave her an opportunity to leave here safely, then I had to believe that.My boots scraped against the concrete as I forced myself to move, step by step, away from that door. Each step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by a mix of guilt and resolve.Fuck.Had I done the right thing?No. I couldn't afford to think about that now, so I pushed the thought aside, my jaw tightening as I straightened my posture. There was no time for doubt.Luca was out there, and every second spent questioning my decision was just a second wasted. When this was over, I would fall to her feet, kiss it, even

Valentina.The words echoed in my head like a gunshot, deafening and final. Pedro Nevarro is dead.My hands trembled as I lowered my gun, my mind racing. Pedro Nevarro was the father to Matteo, Luca, and Sophia Nevarro. An institution that defies all forces and came back stronger to rule his gang with his heir. If Luca had managed to kill him...I didn’t finish the thought. I couldn’t. In front of me, Isabella’s smirk widened, her eyes gleaming with a twisted sort of satisfaction. She confused me most times. The woman who had changed within minutes of our departure, then helped me by giving me clues and all..."Well," she said lightly, brushing imaginary dust off her sleeve, "it seems our dear family is shrinking faster than expected."But irrespective of all she had done for me, I didn't know her. Didn't understand her. Didn't trust her.So I shot her a glare, my chest tightening with fury. "Shut up, Isabella." But she didn’t. Of course, she didn’t. She was much more talkati

Valentina. "Luca is here!" Someone shouted from somewhere in the forsaken warehouse, the words cutting through the distant gunfire like a blade.Chaos erupted around us. The echoes of bullets ricocheted through the warehouse, sharp and unforgiving. The air felt heavy with the tang of metal and sweat, pressing down on me with every breath I took.My heart thundered in my chest as I turned to Matteo. His face was a mask of focus, his jaw clenched tightly as he scanned the room for threats. “We have to leave,” he said, his voice low but urgent. “Now.” “No!” I yelled, my hands trembling as I gestured to the figure tied up on the floor. “We can’t just leave her here!” My mother’s glare burned into me from where she sat, bruised and bound, as though this entire mess was somehow my fault. “She doesn’t want our help,” Matteo snapped, his voice as cold as steel. I stared at him, disbelief twisting in my gut. “That doesn’t matter! I’m not leaving her!” The gunfire grew louder, clo

Valentina.The sharp scent of gasoline and damp concrete filled my nose as we walked through the narrow corridor of the abandoned warehouse.The walls loomed close, painted with age and grime, while faint echoes of dripping water amplified the unease curling in my stomach.I had felt it the entire drive here... that tightening in my chest, the nausea rolling under my ribs. It wasn’t just nerves. It was dread. A tangible warning that something terrible was waiting for us. And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to turn back. Matteo stalked ahead, his shoulders tense, his gun held low but ready. Alessia flanked the rear, her eyes scanning the shadows, every muscle in her body coiled for action. The rest of the men were intertwined with us, close enough to know they were around yet far enough that I couldn't see them.We moved in silence, connected only by the whispers of Lorenzo’s voice in our earpieces, feeding us directions and updates. “Five guards on the north side, Matteo,” Lorenzo
