The Mafia's Substitute Bride Chapter 59. Taking Her Bare
The room fell silent as the man leaned forward, his expression grave and determined. "I'm willing to offer you a substantial thirty percent of the share," he said, his voice laced with seriousness. "All you need to do is help me achieve my goal. I want you to lead Sofia into my carefully crafted death trap."Emma's eyes narrowed as she processed the man's request. The nonchalance in her voice belied the turmoil within. "Are you serious?" she scoffed, her tone tinged with boredom. "Eliminating a mere girl like Sofia should be child's play for a powerful Mafia figure like you."The man's gaze remained fixed on Emma, a flicker of acknowledgment crossing his face. "True," he conceded. "But Sofia is no longer alone. We mustn't forget that Leonardo Morelli is by her side, thwarting my every attempt to end her life."Emma's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of disbelief and curiosity evident on her face. "You mean to tell me that you deliberately orchestrated those attacks on her?" she asked,

Sofia and Leonardo were both breathing heavily, their bodies intertwined and feeling completely satisfied. Leonardo slowly withdrew from her, causing his release to trickle down from her vagina to the sides of her thighs. He gently pulled down her dress, helping her regain her footing."That was incredible, baby," Leonardo said, a smirk playing on his lips.Sofia buried her face in her husband's chest, wrapping her arms tightly around his torso. Leonardo reciprocated by encircling her with one arm and using his other hand to lift her face, making her look into his eyes."You are mine, angel, and no one can harm a single hair on your head. They would have to go through me even to come close," he said, his expression turning serious. At that moment, Sofia couldn't fully grasp why he was sharing these words with her. It felt as if he was reassuring himself as much as her.Just when she thought he had finished, Leonardo continued, his voice filled with determination, "I will always be you

"I hope you haven't forgotten my voice," Sofia's stepmother, Emma, spoke on the phone, her words piercing the silence that surrounded Sofia."Of course, ma'am. How can I forget your voice?" Sofia's voice held a touch of formality, a reminder of the distant relationship she shared with Emma since her childhood. Sofia was never allowed to address her as 'mother,' and 'ma'am' had become the designated term of respect."Sofia, your father and I are missing you," Emma said, and Sofia was taken aback by those words. Her ears strained to confirm what she had just heard. Could it be real, or was she merely hallucinating? After all, there seemed to be no possibility that Sofia's father and Emma would genuinely miss her.Yet, a spark of hope ignited within Sofia's heart. Her poor, yearning heart, always longing for their love, dared to believe that perhaps they had finally realized her value in the household after she had left them.

The Mafia's Substitute Bride Chapter 63. Where Is My Wife
"Why is he coming? I mean... I mean... he must be incredibly busy, and I never expected him to make it for lunch. That's why I invited you here alone," Emma hesitated, her expression suddenly shifting. However, a smile quickly appeared on her face as she continued, "So that we could spend some quality time with you, dear."Sofia, considering how pleasantly surprised they would be by her husband's gentle demeanor, responded, "But, ma'am, Leonardo is my husband, and it's customary for a married woman to visit her parents' home with her husband. He will be delighted to meet you all."The mention of the name 'Leonardo Morelli,' the notorious Mafia King, usually conjured images of ruthlessness and heartlessness in the public eye. Yet, Sofia knew a different side of him—a gentle and polite man when it came to his family. She was confident that he would not display any rudeness toward her own kin."Mum, what is she doing here?" Sofia's ears were pierced by Kat's harsh voice."Kat, mind your

She wasn't feeling well and was eagerly waiting for you to arrive for lunch. I suggested that she take some time to rest until you came," Emma replied, her voice quivering slightly as she tried to maintain an innocent facade.Leonardo's voice boomed again, filled with anger and impatience. "Where the hell is the guest room?" he bellowed, his frustration echoing through the space.Carlo Ricci, standing at the top of the staircase, intervened forcefully, his voice resonating with authority and indignation. "Leonardo! Why are you causing a commotion in my house? You dare speak to my wife that way."A surge of fury filled Leonardo as he retorted, "Carlo Ricci, where is my wife?

Sofia mustered all her courage and firmly stated, "Then kill me because I am not going to sign.""You bitch," Mak hissed, his anger boiling over. He swiftly pulled the trigger.Sofia closed her eyes, bracing herself for the imminent shot. Yet, instead of the expected gunshot, she heard a deafening crack as the door burst open, followed by the sound of gunfire. Trembling with fear, she cautiously opened her eyes and saw Mak sprawled on the floor, clutching his bleeding hand while his gun slipped from his grasp.Her gaze darted toward the broken door, and her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Leonardo and Mark rushing toward her.
