As the car came to a halt at the grand entrance gate of the Morelli mansion, Sofia could feel her heart pounding relentlessly against her chest as if desperately trying to escape. Its rapid beats echoed in her ears, matching the speed of a launching rocket. The anticipation of meeting her in-laws for the first time since their wedding made her incredibly nervous. During the ceremony, there had been little opportunity for meaningful interaction, leaving her feeling somewhat unprepared for this momentous occasion.

As she stepped out of the car, Sofia's legs trembled with an intensity that threatened to destabilize her balance. She took a deep breath, summoning every ounce of courage within her, and silently reassured herself that she could handle this encounter. She could survive it. With newfound determination, she exhaled slowly, willing her nerves to settle.

The massive gate began to swing open, revealing a breathtaking sight before her eyes. Beyond the entrance, a picturesque garden

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 337. Giving In

    Cristiano stripped out of his clothes and stepped under the shower, turning the water on full. He needed a distraction. Control. He needed to focus on the plan—on everything that mattered more than emotion.But no matter how hard he tried to shove her name out of his thoughts, Siena returned to him again and again.Her innocent eyes haunted him—those eyes that looked at him as if he were her entire world, silently begging for his love. Her delicate body wrapped in pink lace… his favorite. His weakness. The memory of her touch, her trembling breath, her scent, the steady rhythm of her heartbeat—everything about her was impossible to erase.She was everything his heart desired.His breathing grew heavy as he braced his hands against the cold tiled wall, muscles tense beneath his skin. Cold water poured down his body, but it did nothing to calm the fire raging inside him. Nothing dulled the need she had ignited.Then he heard the bathroom door open.He knew without looking who it was.St

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 336. Performance

    “You contacted Fabio again, didn’t you?”The question came out of nowhere—cold, sharp—and it caught Siena completely off guard.“What are you talking about?” she whispered, shock tightening her throat.Cristiano let out a dark, humorless chuckle. “So whenever you talk to your ex-lover, you feel guilty for cheating on me?” His gaze slid over her body slowly, deliberately, from head to toe before he added in a flat voice, “And this was the atonement for your sin.”His face remained unreadable. Empty. Merciless.“I am not a fool, Siena.”Her heart slammed against her ribs.Yes—Fabio had called her today. She had spoken to him. He had insisted on meeting her, claiming he had something important to tell her about her real family. But she had refused. She had no intention of seeing him.Something about it felt wrong.How did he know her family wasn’t her real one? How did he have information about people even Cristiano claimed had committed unforgivable sins? It unsettled her—but she wasn’t

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 335. Feigning Innocence

    Cristiano closed the door instantly and locked it, his heart still pounding hard against his ribs.“What is this, Siena?” he questioned, forcing his voice to sound aloof. But his eyes betrayed him—they dipped slowly, deliberately, glancing at her in a way that was anything but indifferent.The entire room had been transformed into an instrument of seduction. And his wife—his sweet, innocent wife—was lying on the bed like a temptress, clad in that sinful lingerie, leaving nothing to his imagination.His body reacted instantly.For a split second, he imagined rushing to her, pinning her beneath him, tearing the lace away, fucking her hard, and burying himself deep in her until she cried his name.But he didn’t move.He stood there, pretending he wasn’t affected at all.Siena said nothing. Instead, she smiled mischievously and tapped her fingertip against her phone screen. A sensual song began to play softly, filling the room.“Fuck…” Cristiano muttered under his breath.The room was dim

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 334. Their Marriage

    Siena sat alone in her bedroom, her mind trapped in a relentless loop around her husband—and the devastating revelation he had made to her.She still couldn’t believe how her life had turned upside down overnight, as if someone had spun it a full one-eighty. Everything she had believed in, everything she had trusted, now felt fragile… distorted. Like a beautiful illusion that cracked the moment she reached out to touch it.No. That couldn’t be a lie.Her heart refused to accept it—refused to believe that Cristiano had never loved her.Memories rushed back uninvited. From the very beginning of their marriage, when she had never wanted to be here, never wanted this life. And yet, slowly— miraculously —his closeness, his quiet care, had broken down her defenses. Somewhere along the way, she had fallen in love with him without realizing it. He had become her whole world. Her everything.She couldn’t forget how he had fought for her against his own father when Vittorio refused to let her c

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 333. This Time Is Different

    No one in this world had the right to scold the Italian Don. No one—except his mother.And so Cristiano lowered his head in silent defeat and left the room, not because Vittorio deserved mercy, and not because he lacked answers—but because Soraya needed peace. He would rather walk away unanswered than upset her further.For him, Soraya was everything.She had always been.Every choice he made, every line he crossed, every sin he carried—he had done it for her. To give her what she deserved. What had always been rightfully hers. He had never hesitated to stain his hands, never thought twice before destroying anyone who stood in his way.And he never would.No other woman had ever held that place in his cold heart. No one else had the power to silence him with a single word, to make him obey without resistance.Only his mother.Yet as he walked away, another name flickered through his chest—uninvited, dangerous.A name that threatened to shatter everything he believed in—his life, his

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 332. The Wife He Never Noticed

    Cristino couldn’t leave this matter as it was—he needed answers. Just as his father always demanded explanations for everything he did, now it was his turn to question Vittorio Vitelli as the head of the Famiglia.He drew a deep breath and stepped inside.Before heading to his parents’ bedroom, Cristiano had made sure his mother wasn’t there; she was occupied in the kitchen.Vittorio was speaking to someone on the phone, but the moment the door opened, and Cristiano walked in, he hurriedly ended the call. Stress flickered across his face—nervous, tense, as though he already knew why his son had come.And maybe he did. Cristiano had never stepped into this room before. He only ever spoke to his father when summoned, and always in the study—never here, never on his own terms.So Vittorio’s unease was inevitable.Cristiano didn’t speak at first. He simply stood there—hands in his pockets, shoulders squared, tall and intimidating. The silent authority radiating off him made Vittorio’s che
