Leonardo's fingers gently intertwined with Sofia's as they embarked on the somber journey. The car came to a halt, and Leonardo remained steadfast by her side, his grip on her hand unwavering. The solemn atmosphere of Ricci's graveyard enveloped them, and as they stepped out of the vehicle, their bodyguards formed a protective ring around them, a visible shield against the world.

As they stood before the grave, Sofia's eyes were drawn to the engraved name of her grandmother, Lady Valentina Ricci, accompanied by the dates that marked her existence in this world. A wave of melancholy washed over Sofia as she took in the reality of her grandmother's passing.

Mark stepped forward, handing Sofia some flowers. Sofia knelt by her grandmother's tomb, her fingertips tracing the engraved letters as if trying to bridge the divide between the realms of the living and the departed. Tenderly, she placed the flowers on the grave, a token of her affection and remorse. The weight of her absence burden

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 323. Tested By Trust

    After her lectures ended, Siena said goodbye to her friends and headed toward the parking lot. But she froze when she saw Gino standing there, waiting.She ignored him and walked past, but he grabbed her arm.“Siena, listen to me—”“Don’t touch me,” she snapped, yanking her hand away, fury flashing in her eyes.He raised both hands in surrender just as her bodyguards stepped in, moving closer.“Guys, I’m her brother-in-law,” he reminded them. The guards looked at Siena for instruction, and she gave a small nod. They stepped back, reluctantly.“Siena… I know you must be angry about what happened this morning,” Gino said, following her as she walked. She didn’t slow down.“Grandmother is always like this, and I’m sorry,” he added, but when she didn’t even look at him, he sighed. “Siena, please listen to me first. This is very important.”She kept walking.“It’s about your husband,” he raised his voice slightly.That made Siena stop.She turned, eyes sharp. “Don’t drag my husband into yo

    Siena was still sobbing when they stepped into their room. The moment the door closed, she cupped Cristiano’s face in both hands and covered him with frantic kisses—his cheeks, his jaw, his forehead—anywhere she could reach.Cristiano couldn’t help but smile softly at her, touched by how much she loved him.“Oh God, Cris… you must be in so much pain,” she whispered, voice trembling as she reached for his shirt, fingers fumbling with the buttons.But Cristiano caught her hand gently. “I’m fine.”“No—let me see,” she insisted, tears pooling in her eyes, lips trembling. He couldn’t refuse her like that.Slowly, carefully, she slid the white shirt off his shoulders. The moment the fabric fell away, she gasped. Angry red marks covered his pale skin, and in some places the blood had already seeped through where his skin had torn.“Oh God… why did you have to jump in the middle like that?” she cried, more tears spilling down.“It’s nothing, doll. Doesn’t hurt at all,” he said, trying to reas

    “How dare you!” the grandmother yelled, her voice shaking with fury. “Leave my cane. This insolent woman needs to learn the consequences of defying me.”But the hand gripping her cane didn’t let go. It held firmly for a moment—steady, unshaken—before slowly lowering it and releasing it back into the grandmother’s grasp, leaving her seething in rage.Siena stared at her husband in shock. Elena, who had just walked in, gasped loudly. Even Soraya’s eyes widened in disbelief.There was never a day when a man from the Vitelli family stood against the grandmother. She always did whatever she wanted, and she treated daughters-in-law like they were nothing—like they didn’t deserve respect, didn’t have voices, didn’t have feelings.“No, Grandmother. You’re not going to hit my wife,” Cristiano announced in a cold, steady tone.This time, it was the grandmother whose eyes widened.“What… what did you just say?” she muttered in disbelief.“You heard me,” he said, voice firm and authoritative. “Si

    The next morning, when Siena woke up, she realized Cristiano had already gotten out of bed. He was in the gym beside their bedroom. She got up, walked to the bathroom, and took a quick shower to get ready for the day.After getting dressed, she stepped back into the room just as Cristiano walked in—sweaty, flushed, and still catching his breath from his workout.“Good morning,” he murmured, his eyes drifting over his wife. Siena felt the familiar heat rush through her at the way he looked at her.“Good morning,” she smiled as he pulled her into his arms.“You’re all sweaty,” she laughed, wrinkling her nose.“So?” he teased, pressing her even closer. She giggled and pushed lightly at his chest.“Go shower,” she insisted.He chuckled and shook his head, but he went into the bathroom anyway.Siena laid out his clothes on the bed, then left the room to head downstairs to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.Soraya smiled when she saw Siena. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood s

    “How do you even have Raffaele’s number?” Siena asked, confusion and suspicion sharpening her voice.“I have my ways,” Cristiano replied calmly, his face perfectly unreadable.“What ways?” she pressed, crossing her arms with a deep frown.“You get to talk to your family, right? That’s all that should matter to you. Why bother with the details?” He said, his tone teasing, almost manipulative.Siena stared at him for a long moment, searching his expression for the truth. When he clearly wasn’t going to give her more, she exhaled and let her shoulders drop. “Fine… I can’t deny you’re the best husband. I guess I’m lucky.”Cristiano’s smirk curved, slow and amused. “What kind of halfhearted gesture is that to appreciate your husband?”Before she could respond, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her straight to the bed.“Enough talking,” he murmured, leaning over her, his voice dropping into that deep, commanding tone that never failed to make her blush. “I want you.”Siena bit her l

    Siena’s heartbeat sped up as she lifted the phone to her ear—but before she could speak, Cristiano gently took it from her hand. Without a word, he pressed the speaker option and set the phone between them. Siena stared at him, confused. He gave her a small nod, a gesture telling her to go ahead… to talk.She swallowed hard. Her throat felt tight, her nerves tangled. But the word still slipped out, barely above a whisper.“Hello?”“Siena!” Raffaele’s voice—just that one word—shattered her. Tears instantly spilled down her hazel eyes.“R… Raffaele?” her voice broke.“Yes, Siena. It’s me. Your brother.” He exhaled shakily, as if holding himself together.“Brother?” Her voice rose, raw with hurt. “You call yourself my brother, yet you abandoned me like I never mattered—like I never even existed!” All the anger, all the pain she buried for days came pouring out. “Mom… Dad… they didn’t even think twice before leaving me. As if I wasn’t their daughter at all.”Then her own words hit her.
