The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Twenty Three
Valentina.The weight of the note settled over me like a storm cloud, lingering in the back of my mind even as I prepared for my evening with Matteo.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, smoothing out the fabric of the sleek, black dress I had chosen, while Matteo watched me from the side.I wondered for the millionth time if he knew what was happening in my mind."If you want to know where Isabella is, meet me tomorrow at midnight. Alone."it took me five minutes to leave the room once Matteo abruptly left.Who could have left it? And why now?Was it a trap? A way to manipulate me?Or had it been meant for Matteo? A way to manipulate him?I took a deep breath, reminding myself that tonight was supposed to be a date with Matteo.My husband.Another attempt at the boundaries we created when he came back, to get closer, to figure out what our relationship would lead to.I glanced subtly at Matteo, contemplating whether or not to tell him about the note.He had promised to help me fi

ValentinaThe moon hung low in the sky tonight, casting an eerie glow over the room. I stared at the faint rise and fall of Matteo's chest as he slept next to me.The steady rhythm of his breathing was the only sound in the otherwise quiet room. He looked so peaceful, completely unaware of what I was about to do.I had no idea how I would slip away without waking him up.Matteo was so attuned to my movements, even in his sleep, that a simple trip to the bathroom would have him wide awake the next moment, groaning out my name in his half asleep state."Midnight. Alone."But if I wanted to know where Isabella was, I had to be crafty. If I wanted to find out why she had bailed on her wedding with Matteo, I had to be fast.If I wanted to know if Luca was saying the truth, I had to leave this room tonight.Matteo sure chose the wrong time of the month to start being nice to me.I shifted slightly on the bed, testing Matteo’s reaction. His arm lay loosely draped across my waist, heavy and w

Valentina"Where are you coming from?"Matteo's voice cut through the silence, sharp and commanding. He stood at the top of the staircase, arms crossed, his dark eyes trained on me with an intensity that made my stomach twist.Damn.His broad shoulders were rigid, his posture tense, and his chest heaved slightly, as though he had been paying before catching me in the act.My heart thundered in my chest, and for a moment, I couldn't think.I still held the note from Isabella in mynhanf, my fingers trembling as I squeezed it tightly in my palm so he wouldn't see.Isabella had always been the trickster between the both of us. The best liar. She could get out of any situation."I... I couldn't sleep," I stammered, my voice quieter than I intended. "I was having nightmares, so I went outside to get some fresh air."Matteo's expression didn't change. He watched me as he descended the stairs slowly, each step deliberate. I could feel the doubt in his gaze as if he were trying to find the lie

As the car moved down the glided streets, Sophia kept up a steady stream of chatter about the latest fashion trends and some scandalous gossip she had about others in the mafia group.Different from the woman I met some many weeks back.I nodded along to whatever she said, though I didn't really care about them.Who wanted to bang his mistress with his wife in the other room shouldn't be on my mind."....and then, there was that time, Isabella tried to switch places with me so she could listen more to the conversation...."Sophia’s words cut through my thoughts, and I froze."What?" I turned to her, twisting my fingers together.Sophia waved her hand dismissively, laughing lightly. "Oh, you know, one of those wild events. We could have sworn the minister smelled of sex but his wife had been with us the whole time. She wanted to listen to their conversation..... I don't remember all the details."I forced a calm smile, though my chest tightened just a little bit more.Isabella never me

MatteoThe clink of our glasses echoed through the dimly lit room as I stared out at the view of the city skyline.Quite crazy how it took me less than two hours to leave my house and meet up with Ethan.A retreat. An escape from everything that had spiralled out of control. One day turned to two, two days turned to three, and now I've been away from the estate for four days.I hadn't meant to leave things this long.Hell, I had no idea why I was still here, sitting in a bar in another state, avoiding my wife.My wife.The woman I swore to protect, yet I couldn't face her.I hadn't told her the truth."You look ridiculous, you know that?" Ethan’s voice broke through the haze of my thoughts, annoying as always with his half amused, half exasperated tone. "Matteo Nevarro, hiding out like a scared boy because he can't face his wife."I scowled, nursing my drink without looking at him.Ethan was a parasite, cutting through my defense and getting under my skin. He was still my best friend,

Valentina“You owe me the truth, Matteo,” I said softly, my voice breaking slightly. “Why did you do this to me?”The moment Matteo walked out of the room, leaving my question unanswered, the weight of everything crashed down on me like a tidal wave.I stood there, staring at the door he'd closed behind him, my body frozen in place.My hands shook with a mixture of anger and disbelief.How could he just leave? Without saying anything?After everything I'd learned, after everything I'd asked, how could he just walk away like that?I paced back and forth, the tension building in my chest like a coiled spring. The more I thought about it, the more furious I became. I had sacrificed so much for this life... a life I never chose.And now?Matteo couldn't even give me a simple answer.Why had he done what he did. He never needed me.Grabbing the nearest bottle of wine from the mini shelf in the room, I didn't even bother with a glass. I just needed something to dull the storm raging inside

"You’ll take Isabella’s place, Valentina. There’s no other choice."My mother's words echoed in my mind as I stood before the gates of the Nevarro Estate, the world as I knew it crumbling beneath my feet.The gates groaned as they opened, a shiver tracing down my spine."Your sister is gone. Disappeared without a trace. The little wretch took all the money we had, too."The estate was every bit as grand and imposing as I'd imagined, a testament to the wealth and power of the Nevarro family. But there was nothing coming about it.It was a fortress, and I was its latest prisoner."Marry Matteo Nevarro. Have his heirs, and nothing would ever happen to you again."I had never been here before, not even when my father had to come because of his little business with the former Don.Mom always kept me away, insisting that it was unnecessary to let him know he had two daughters.It had been Isabella, who was promised to Matteo Nevarro, not me.Never me.But with Isabella gone, I had to step u

"Good morning, Mrs Nevarro."I screamed.As loud as I could and for all to hear."Mrs Nevaro!!!!"The first rays of dawn seeped through the heavy curtains, casting a dull light across the room.And a lady was staring down at me.Where was I? "Mrs Nevarro!!!" She tried again, and then it all came back to me.Matteo Nevarro, the wedding, the wing. His love for my sister. It was like a never ending dream.My prison.I had barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Matteo's blue eyes staring at me with a cold and calculating gaze, the weight of his expectations pressing down on me.And now this lady. She was tall and elegant, dressed in a sleek blue dress, her hair pulled back into a neat bun. A tray filled with breakfast - fresh fruit, pancakes, and a cold cup of juice - was at my bedside table."Good morning, Mrs Nevaro." She said, her voice polite but distant. "I'm glad you've stopped screaming. I'm Caterina, Mr Nevaro asked me to assist you with anything you might need during

Valentina.The early morning light cast soft shadows over the floor. Everywhere was still quiet, and every movement sounded too loud as I inched myself off Matteo's mattress.It was twenty-five minutes after nine, the latest I had woken up on any day since I got to the Nevarro Estate, but I needed to leave before Matteo woke up.My feet grazed the floor."Where are you going?" The rough, sleepy voice of Matteo broke the silence and stopped me in my tracks.With my toes curling into the soft threads on the floor while my heart thundered in my chest.Stay calm.Stay collected.But even his voice sparked pg eighteen memories in my mind."You like this, don't you?" He had taunted. "Knowing I can wreck your pussy in a way no one else can while you make a mess all over my cock?"Heat crawled over my cheeks but I maintained a neutral expression when I turned.We had abandoned my painting and came back home, where Matteo proceeded to take me to his room for another round of sex.I couldn't li

Valentina.I should stop him.We hadn't resolved all our issues yet, and kissing - or more - would complicate things even more.I should stop him.But I didn’t.Instead, I threaded my fingers through his hair and succumbed to the assault of my senses.The firm grip on the back of my neck. The expert pressure of his lips. The way Matteo's body body molded into mine, all hard and hot.His mouth hovered over mine, the heat of his breath sending a shiver down my spine.For a moment, his lips lingered just a hair's breadth away, as if giving me one final chance to push him away. To stop this madness.But I didn’t.I didn’t want to.Because when I was with him like this, everything that was tangled and messed up between us seemed to dissolve into the background.Matteo's hand moved from the back of my neck to cradle my face, his thumb brushing along my cheek. The rough pads of his fingers sent sparks across my skin, and I couldn't stop the soft gasp that escaped my lips.That was all the in

Valentina."We're going on a date." Matteo had announced barely twenty-four hours after we returned from the dinner date.That morning, the rain had barely ceased, leaving behind a certain dampness in the air that clung to my skin.I stood outside the estate, nervously biting at my lip as I waited for Matteo. He had strict instructions that I waited for him.My fingers found the hem of my coat as I glanced up at the grey sky. The night seemed to stretch endlessly, a perfect backdrop for the war of emotions churning inside me.Matteo hadn't thought it would be prudent to mention where we were going to. So, I had no idea if I was underdressed or overdressed.But when the sleek black car pulled up, and Matteo emerged from the driver's seat, his normal attire of a crisp, perfectly tailored suit absent but this time he was dressed in a blue tshirt and some jeans, I knew my outfit of a plain white t-shirt and grey joggers wasn't bad.There was something different about him tonight."Tesoro,
