The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Sixty Nine
MatteoFuck this party.The polished marble floors gleamed under the dim lighting, reflecting the opulence that oozed from every corner of the room. The hall was filled with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the low hum of violins playing in the background.Yet, none of it registered.Not the extravagant floral arrangements, not the sharp scent of cigars lingering in the air, and not the woman draped on my arm, her hand resting on my forearm as though she owned me.“Smile, darling,” She whispered, her crimson lips barely moving as she scanned the room with sharp eyes. “You look like you’d rather be somewhere else.”She wasn’t wrong.Annalise, my latest fiancee, had perfected the role of the doting partner for tonight’s charade. Her calculated smiles and false sweetness grated on my nerves. She was who my father thought Isabella would be and who he hoped Valentina would be… a high society princess who would only elevate the Nevarro name even higher.Her presence was like a thorn e

Matteo.I shouldn't be here tonight but I couldn't stay away.The safe house was tucked away in the middle of nowhere, shrouded by dense woods and the kind of silence that made even your thoughts feel loud.Annalise was asleep when I left, so I had nothing to worry about.As the car rolled to a stop, the gravel crunching under the tires, I leaned back against the headrest, letting out a loud exhale.Why did I come here?For days, this exact moment had haunted me. After what happened with Valentina that particular day in the warehouse, I had replayed every word, every decision, every step that had led me here.And now, as I stood at the beginning of facing it all, my chest tightened with something I refused to call fear.I had done what was right at that particular moment. I did what was needed.No one would fault me for it.Caterina's son, Marco, was waiting by the front door, cigarette in hand, looking as though he hadn't slept in days. The red glow of the ember flared briefly as he

Valentina.The kitchen air was heavy, stifling, the kind of cold that settled into your bones and refused to leave.My fingers wrapped around the chipped porcelain mug, its lukewarm contents untouched. Isabella sat across from me, her eyes hollow, the dark circles beneath them deepening by the day.Gosh.Had it been more than a day since Caterina was shot and we left her there?It felt like years.Isabella and I hadn't spoken much since waking. Words felt redundant, meaningless. The bruises on her wrist, faint but present, said more than either of us could bear to.My own tattooed shoulder should have healed by now, but I wasn't ready to check.Not now.The silence shattered like glass when Marco walked in, his boots thudding heavily against the wooden floor. Reed followed, his expression less guarded than usual, which somehow unnerved me even more."You need to pack." Marco announced, his voice a grating interruption to our fragile calm.I blinked at him, trying to process the abrupt

Valentina.I was out of there before anyone found me.When it was time for lunch, the room was quieter than it had been that morning, though the air felt thick with unspoken words and restless energy.Isabella had finally drifted off, her steady breaths filling the silence. Marco was out, and for the first time in a while, I was alone with Reed.The Reed who had a crush on me.The weight of what I overheard earlier lingered in my chest, Reed’s feelings toward me becoming a tangled thread in the mess that was my life.Matteo had a new fiancée now... and had left me to the torture from Luca... why should I care?Why should I hold myself back?"She's too hung up on Matteo to notice your little crush." Marco had said earlier.Asshole.The ache of Matteo's betrayal burned hotter at times like this when I couldn't ignore. And something reckless sparked inside me.I glanced toward Reed, who stood near the window, arms crossed, his broad shoulders rigid. He wasn't looking at me, but his prese

Matteo. Most plans weren't perfect and would often go wrong within a few hours or minutes.Caterina was dead because I thought my last plan was perfect.So this time I didn't plan.The mansion was steeped in luxury, but its opulence couldn't mask the undercurrent of unease that rippled through the dinner table. Annalise sat across from me, her carefully curated smile never faltering as she exchanged pleasantries with her parents.She wasn't that bad when one thought about it. Sure, she was concerned with status and what people thought about us... that didn't mean she deserved what I was using her to do.No one deserved to be used.My eyes moved to her family’s patriarch, her uncle Richard, who sat at the head of the table, exuding a quiet authority that silenced even the faintest whispers.Most people didn't like him.Richard was a high-ranking figure in the mafia world, someone who operated behind the scenes, pulling strings that shaped entire empires. He was ruthless. He killed wi

Matteo.The night carried a deceptive calmness.They were done with dinner by the time I was out of the study, so I followed the family to the balcony, Annalise at my side. She was clinging to me, her manicured fingers lightly brushing my arm as though to remind everyone that I belonged to her.Though I belonged to just one woman.The soft hum of voices surrounded us as Richard, Annalise’s uncle, led a conversation about the growing tension between certain factions in the city. He had slipped out of the study after I did.I feigned interest, my eyes straying to the horizon. Valentina’s face lingered in my thoughts now that I allowed myself to think about her... her defiance, her fire. The soft curve of lips I wouldn't be able to touch anymore. Strands of hair I wouldn't be allowed to move away from her face anymore.And then there was the trip.Isabella. Reed. Marco.I clenched the railing. I'd dragged Valentina into this web of danger, even if she hadn't seen everything yet. I admir

Valentina.The drive to the private airport had been a study in tension.The darkened car interior amplified every creak of the leather seats and every unspoken word hanging between us. Reed sat rigid beside me, his gaze fixed forward, while Isabella reclined in false indifference. Marco was upfront with the driver we had picked along the way, barking occasional instructions, his clipped tone betraying his unease.I stared out the window at the city lights as they blurred into the darkness. My fingers twisted in my lap, a futile attempts to still my trembling hands.Something felt off... wrong in a way I couldn't say.The unease had settled in my gut the moment Marco had announced we were leaving, and it had only grown since, making me do questionable things.Like flirt with Reed.What was wrong with me?"We'll be fine," Reed said softly, almost to himself, as if sensing my anxiety.I didn't respond.I didn't believe him.The paranoia I'd inherited from Matteo’s world had a tight gri

Valentina."You're welcome."The low hum of the jet’s engines sent a vibration through my body as I sat rigidly by the window, my hands gripping the armrests so tightly that my knuckles turned white.The air inside the cabin felt thick and heavy, pressing down on me like an invisible weight. Across from me, Isabella lounged with the casualngrace of someone who had never faced a true consequence in her life, her lips curved in a faint self-satisfied smile."Matteo belongs to me. He always has. He always will." Isabella’s words continued to echo in my mind.Why had she said that?Reed stood by the cabin door, his sharp eyes scanning the tarmac below through the narrow window. Marco was nowhere to be seen, presumably still barking orders at the pilot and anyone else close to ensure they dealt with the mechanical issue fast.I should have felt relief. In a matter of hours at most, I would be away from this chaos, this nightmare of a life my mom had willingly dragged me into. But that une

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
