When Leonardo woke up, his eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in an unfamiliar bed. Confusion clouded his mind for a moment until he surveyed his surroundings and realized he was in a hospital room. The sterile scent of disinfectant lingered in the air, and the steady beeping of machines filled the room with an eerie rhythm.

His gaze shifted, and his heart skipped a beat when he spotted Sofia sleeping peacefully on a chair beside his bed. Her hand clasped his, and her fingers were intertwined with his own. Traces of tears glistened on her cheeks, leaving delicate stains that hinted at her previous emotional outpour.

Battling against the pain in his back, Leonardo attempted to sit up. A sharp hiss escaped his lips, reminding him of his injuries. Yet, despite the discomfort, his love for Sofia compelled him to reach out and wipe away the remnants of her tears, hoping to bring her solace even in his own vulnerable state.

The nurses, alerted by his awakening, entered the room to as

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 326. Facing The Truth

    Gino stopped the car in a deserted place Siena had never seen or even heard of. She stepped out slowly, confusion knotting in her stomach. The area was dim, isolated… far too quiet.“Why are we here?” she asked, looking around. “Cristiano isn’t anywhere. You said you’d show me his reality.”Gino didn’t answer at first. He simply smirked—crooked, wrong, chilling. Something in that smile made Siena’s skin crawl.“You seem to be in a hurry, sister-in-law,” he said slowly, taking a step back, hands slipping into his pockets as if he were enjoying her confusion.Siena frowned, uneasy. Her eyes scanned the warehouse—until the hair on her arms stood up.From the shadows, four men emerged… one from each corner. Broad shoulders. Hard eyes. No warmth. No welcome.Her breath hitched. “Gino…” she whispered, her voice trembling, “what’s going on?”Gino’s smirk widened, sharpening into something cold and cruel. “Oh, Siena,” he murmured—almost pitying, almost amused. “Did you really think you were s

    Cristiano slumped into an old, worn chair, the wood creaking beneath him as he pressed his palms into his forehead. His chest felt tight—too tight. He had always known this day would come. And yet… he still let himself fall for her.He should have stopped himself.He shouldn’t have let her slip past the iron walls around his heart—shouldn’t have let her break them piece by piece.Because until this very moment, revenge was the only thing he had ever lived for.He exhaled shakily.It all started twenty years ago, when Cristiano’s grandfather ruled the famiglia as the kingpin of the Italian Mafia.Vittorio’s sister—young, naïve, and deeply protected—had fallen in love with a Bratva man. But it wasn’t love. It was a trap.She was lured away from her security, and the long-standing rivalry between the Russians and Italians exploded into something far more vicious. The Italian famiglia believed the Russian Pakhan, Nikolai Baranov, had abducted the Italian don’s daughter, raped her, and

    Vittorio’s eyes swept over the table before landing briefly on his son. Cristiano didn’t move, but the tension in his shoulders was unmistakable.“We’re all here for important news,” Vittorio announced. A heavy silence fell—sharp enough to cut through bone. Cristiano could hear the thud of his own heartbeat echoing in his ears.“As you all know, that Russian bastard’s daughter has been hiding somewhere in our territory. No one has found her yet…” Vittorio paused, letting the room lean in. “But I finally got a hint. A very promising one.”Cristiano kept his expression carved from ice, but his eyes burned. Whatever his father was planning, this wasn’t the time or place. Not with every shark at this table waiting for blood.Vittorio’s gaze brushed over him again—searching, evaluating—but Cristiano remained still. Outside, cold. Inside, a storm.“Tell us,” a voice barked from the far end of the table. Vittorio smirked.Another voice rose, harsher, fueled by old wounds. “We need vengeanc

    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
