Emma chimed in, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "I can see it, Sofia. You are glowing and looking more beautiful. My, my! The after-marriage glow suits you," she complimented, a smile gracing her lips.

Sofia couldn't help but be taken aback by Emma's words. Emma had never been one to offer praise, and Sofia knew it for certain. She scanned the room, half-expecting to find Kat lurking in some shadowy corner, her piercing gaze drilling into Sofia's very being. Yet, to Sofia's surprise, Kat was nowhere to be seen.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Sofia turned to Carlo, seeking answers. "Where is Kat? Has she not come to the party?" Sofia's voice carried a tinge of wonder, for it would be yet another unexpected twist if Kat had indeed chosen to be absent. Attending these high-society gatherings was practically Kat's modus operandi. She would never pass up an opportunity to network with the heirs of wealthy families—an art Emma had instilled in her daughter from an early age,

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 353. Love At Stake

    She should have barged in. She should have screamed, cried, fought—dragged that woman out of the mansion, and slapped her husband for daring to do this to her.But her feet wouldn’t move.It was as if something inside her had shut down all at once. The exhaustion that flooded her wasn’t physical—it was emotional, bone-deep, the kind that drained all strength for anger or confrontation. Her chest tightened, her breath turned shallow, and tears burned her eyes before she could stop them.And in that moment, she realized she didn’t want anything from him. Not explanations. Not apologies. Not lies.Whether it was the fear of heartbreak or the pain itself, the feeling overwhelmed every other emotion until all she wanted was to escape—to run, to disappear.Before he could see the tears spill over, she turned abruptly and fled, her steps unsteady as she rushed upstairs, the walls blurring around her.She didn’t stop until she reached her bedroom—the room that was supposed to be theirs. S

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 352. His Fourth Deception

    The moment Riya and Anna heard Siena crying, their voices softened instantly.“Si… don’t cry,” Anna said gently, her voice coming through the phone like a hand on Siena’s back.“Yeah,” Riya added, anger lacing her concern. “Why waste your tears on an asshole like him?”Siena let out a shaky breath, wiping at her eyes even though the tears kept coming. “I don’t know how to stop,” she whispered. “No matter how much I try to be strong… they just fall on their own.”Her throat tightened before she could continue. “Today is Valentine’s Day,” she said softly. “I had planned so many things. I thought—” her voice cracked, “—I really thought he had a surprise for me. When I heard we were going to a party, I believed it was for us.”She laughed bitterly through her tears. “It was a surprise… just not the kind I imagined.”There was a pause, heavy and aching.“I never thought Cris would betray me,” she murmured. “Not like this. Not after everything. It feels like my past is repeating itself a

    She had never felt tortured. Never treated like a hostage. During their marriage, he had done nothing but make her feel wanted, protected… cherished.Until today.If her real father wanted her so badly, why hadn’t he come himself? Was he afraid of Cristiano Vitelli—or was she simply not important enough to face him?The answer tasted bitter.Whatever the truth was, one thing had become terrifyingly clear: Her husband’s power ran so deep that even other dons hesitated to step into his territory.She couldn't respond for several long moments, her distant gaze gave her away. She was lost in thought—torn.Fabio leaned forward, urgency sharpening his tone. “What are you thinking about? Let’s go. Everything is ready. We’ll disappear from here.”Siena exhaled slowly. Then, after a pause heavy with realization, she said, “I can’t make a decision this fast. I need time.”Frustration flickered across Fabio’s face.“Time?” he snapped. “Siena, your life is in danger. This isn’t something you

    “What do you mean?” Siena frowned, suspicion tightening her features.“Exactly what I said. Every word.” Lino didn’t repeat himself—he stood by it.Siena’s frown deepened. “And why would you do that?” Her voice dropped. “Go against your Don?”A bitter smirk tugged at Lino’s lips—empty, pained. “Because I hate him,” he said flatly. “Because of Cristiano Vitelli, I’m trapped in this life. I can’t be with the woman I love.” His jaw tightened. “All I want is revenge.”He stepped closer, facing her fully now. “That’s why I’ll help you disappear. I want to see that look on his face—the moment he realizes he’s not untouchable.” Lino lifted his chin. “He thinks he’s smarter than everyone. That fear rules this world. That no one dares defy him.” His eyes hardened. “He’s wrong.”Siena stared at him, shaken. She couldn’t believe her husband was surrounded by traitors. Then again… why should she care?He was the one who had betrayed her—her trust, their marriage. Men like this suited him.“Signo

    Shock flickered across her face. She looked at her parents, then at Vittorio. His brows knitted into a frown as he intervened, “Can’t you see that his hand is injured?”Carina nodded stiffly and slipped the ring onto her own finger.Then she picked up the man’s ring and held it out to him.Cristiano extended his palm without looking at her. “I’ll wear it later.”Carina stared at him, disbelief tightening her expression, before she slowly placed the ring into his blood-smeared hand.“That’s enough,” Cristiano said, his voice cold and final. “The engagement is over. Everyone can leave.”And with that, he turned and walked out of the hall—authoritative, unyielding—leaving behind stunned faces and a room thick with confusion.Vittorio quickly stepped in, forcing a composed smile. “His mood is… unstable today. He’ll be fine later.”Soraya gasped as Cristiano passed her. Anger still burned in her chest over what he had done to Siena—but seeing blood streaking down her son’s knuckles pier

    Despite everything—despite the lies, the manipulation, the cruelty—she could feel nothing from him but love and longing.And he kept denying it.Her strength finally gave out.“Please… end this,” she pleaded, exhaustion seeping into every word. “I’m tired. I can’t bear it anymore.”Cristiano exhaled slowly, a quiet sigh heavy with restraint.“Doll,” he said, his voice edged with steel, though his hand lingered on her back, trying to steady her trembling. “I’ll admit… I’ve grown used to you. But habits can be broken.” His gaze darkened, sharp and unyielding. “And people… they can be replaced. Easily,” he said, his tone expertly cold, practiced.“So accept it,” he continued. “I only love power. I don’t want you anymore.”Yet no matter how cold his voice sounded, his hand wiped her tears from her cheeks and smoothed her hair. He couldn’t bear her pain.He was supposed to hurt her, to maintain the act—but she was right. He couldn’t bear to see her in pain. The dilemma he carried—the war
