The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Forty Four
Matteo"Valentina!!" I shouted again, my voice rough as I pushed through the thick underbrush of the woods.How on earth had a woman with such dainty legs run this far?My heart pounded in my chest, the fury mixed with a growing sense of dread. She just had to pull an "Isabella" and ran away when something didn't work her way.Reckless.Foolish.And someone just walked away from her the moment my eyes landed on her frame.She stood at the edge of a small clearing. The moonlight casted a pale glow over her face. Her arms are crossed, her back turned to me, as if she was purposely trying to distance herself from everything.And that included me.But I wasn't going to have that."Valentina!!"I stomped forward, the crunching sound of the fallen leaves and twigs as my boots made contact was satisfying. She didn't even flinch when I came to a stop behind her, my hands clenched into fists at my sides."You do not run off like that!!" I snapped, the anger spilling over before I could even th

Matteo."I'm back."The sound of Valentina's voice followed by the door shutting with a heavy thud, the sound echoing through the small safe house was enough to calm my nerves.From my quiet spot in the kitchen, I watched Ethan and Valerie exchange a quick glance before they left, locking the door behind them.Fuck.I knew their plan.Leaving Valentina and me alone, space to talk about our issues.I ran a hand through my hair as I stared at the empty space they left behind. Valentina stood close to the window, her back to me, her arms wrapped around herself like a shield.It took her less than an hour to return after I sent Jackson to retrieve her himself.The silence between us was unbearable, thick with the weight of everything unsaid.I wasn't sure what to do, what to say. I had never been good with apologies, and the idea of laying myself bare to her.... it terrified me in ways I couldn't explain.But I had run out of options.I couldn't keep pushing her away. I couldn't keep pret

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.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
The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Ninety Five
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
