As Leonardo began to walk, leading Sofia by his side, a sudden touch upon his chest caused a surge of fury to ripple through him. Kat, with audacious boldness, had dared to place her hand upon him, a move that invited his wrath. His eyes flared with a fiery intensity, his face contorting into a menacing expression that conveyed a clear and deadly threat.

But she also saw something else in his eyes—a command for her to handle the situation. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, her confidence bolstered by the knowledge that she held a place in Leonardo's life that Kat could never comprehend. With a subtle shift of her body, Sofia removed Kat's hand, her voice dripping with calm assertiveness.

"Kat, can't you see my husband is not interested in talking to you? Please leave us alone," Sofia declared, her expression betraying a hint of boredom as if Kat's presence was nothing more than an irritating inconvenience.

Kat, taken aback by Sofia's sudden display of assertiveness, found her

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 321. Reckless

    “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.

    “Siena!” “Siena!”Cristiano shouted her name as he tore through the room, checking the bathroom, the closet—every corner.She wasn’t there.Where could she have gone at this hour?Panic shot through him. His chest tightened as he spun around, ready to storm out and search the entire house. Then he noticed it—the balcony door, wide open, the curtains drifting in the night breeze.He froze.There. A small silhouette.He walked toward the balcony.“What are you doing out here?” he asked, his tone carrying an edge he couldn’t hide. It wasn’t anger—it was fear. His eyes settled on his wife, standing still, staring at the moon as if lost in another world.Siena turned slowly and smiled. “You’re home?”“Yeah,” he said, stepping closer. “But why are you out here? You’ll catch a cold.” He didn’t want to admit how terrified he’d been when he didn’t find her.“Oh…” She blinked and shivered, hugging her arms around herself. “The moon is so beautiful tonight. And the air… the night just feels

    Hunter had been Cristiano’s friend since childhood. He knew everything about the marriage—Cristiano’s anger, his reluctance, his motives—because Cristiano confided only in him. And he knew Hunter would never betray him; that loyalty had been tested more than once. Cristiano wasn’t foolish enough to keep anyone close without proving them first.“Careful, Hunter. That’s my wife you’re talking about,” Cristiano warned, his voice dropping into that deadly calm everyone feared.“Wife?!” Hunter’s brows flicked up, a flash of disbelief crossing his face. He’d noticed it—the way Cristiano bristled anytime he referred to Siena as that girl, as if she were insignificant.“Do you remember she still has to go?” Hunter said, eyes narrowing. It was the condition. The deal. The ending fate demanded.Cristiano didn’t look at him. His gaze stayed fixed on the darkening sky outside the window. A tightness pulled at his chest, sharp and suffocating, as the truth crept back in—the deal, the promise, the
