The Mafia's Wife Replacement 51. Family's Call
"Stellina, what are you doing there?"Diego's voice jolted the attention of Stellina who had been watching the scene outside the window of the mansion for the past hour. Stellina was even more surprised to see Diego coming with two cups in each hand. As he got closer, the distinctive aroma of tea greeted Stellina's sense of smell."Why are you here all of a sudden?" asked Stellina, her gaze fixed on the two gels.Diego stopped in his tracks beside Stellina and handed her one of the gels. "For you. I made these personally," he said as he held out his hand.Stellina looked at the glass Diego handed her in surprise. Diego almost never made tea for Stellina. In fact, she thought he might be doing some other work right now."Why did you make this for me?" asked Stellina, showing her suspicion openly. "I don't think there's any reason for you to suddenly be so nice to me."Diego's thin smile that signaled sincerity faded in an instant. Now the look of annoyance on his face was immediately a

Diego sighed after helping Eston unload the suitcases from the trunk of the car.At the airport car stop, Eston, Matteo, and Stellina gathered around waiting for Fabian, Eston's personal driver, Diego, Eston's confidant, and Matteo's confidant to push the suitcases."Be careful with that suitcase!" exclaimed Eston, giving orders to his confidant.While they-including Eston-were busy with their own activities, Stellina accidentally turned to Matteo. It turned out that Matteo had been watching her for some time. Stellina was surprised when Matteo winked at her."What are you doing?" Stellina said to Matteo without making a sound.Fortunately, Stellina and Matteo were standing one step behind Eston. Their interaction went unnoticed.Receiving a glare from Stellina, Matteo smiled contentedly. For some reason Matteo could not stop flirting with Stellina despite the rejection reaction."Do not miss me," Matteo whispered very softly. His voice was barely audible because it was drowned out by

"Hey Diego, we met here!"As Diego and Stellina walked hand in hand out of the shop, Benigno suddenly appeared. Diego was confused as to which direction Benigno had come from and repeatedly looked around. But before Diego could react, Benigno's staggering body suddenly lurched forward and almost fell onto Diego.Suddenly Diego was forced to stop and take Benigno's weight. It was not only Diego who was surprised, but also Stellina who was confused by the man."Benigno, oh my... where did you come from?" Diego asked with a groan as his hands straightened Benigno's body.Benigno looked up at Diego with wide eyes. This made Diego sure that Benigno was really under the influence of alcohol. But Diego didn't know which club Benigno had gone to until they met on this street.Diego and Stellina were just about to head to the car park to go home. The clock was already striking eight in the evening."Diego, I had a great time. I didn't realize you were around," Benigno said. Although he was in

Today was the gathering of the wives of the Pavnozzi Clan capos.The crowded atmosphere in the mansion was unavoidable. All the servants were lost in their own busy lives. They were scattered all over the mansion. Without exception. Various types of decorations and event trinkets filled the rooms of the mansion.Today's important event required Stellina to overhaul every detail in the rooms of the mansion. For some reason, Stellina could not just fix them one by one. Since yesterday, Stellina had even consulted with someone who was an expert in choosing room decoration colors. Only a few things had their colors chosen by the expert, while the rest were chosen by Stellina herself.Descending the stairs after checking the second floor, Stellina walked over to the dining room that was directly adjacent to the living room.

That afternoon when the capo Pavnozzi's wives arrived at the mansion, one of the servants, Cessa, accidentally spilled tea on Madam Massimo's dress.This well-built woman with her chin up was notorious for her cruelty. Suddenly, her face turned red with anger."How dare you spill tea on my expensive dress. Don't you see this dress is made of very expensive silk? Your lifetime salary alone won't be able to afford such an expensive silk dress, you won't escape my punishment," she scolded.Madam Massimo looked sarcastically at Cessa whose face was now deathly pale.Hearing Madam Massimo's sharp words, Stellina did not remain silent. She could not stand it when her servant was chastised and humiliated by Madam Massimo."Anthony should take Cessa downstairs. Maybe she's too tired, you know the place I mean is in the storeroom, don't you?" In a slight whisper Stellina spoke to Anthony.Anth

The next day, Diego woke up refreshed. His days with Stellina had been full of energy. Whereas with Vellina, every day felt the same and dreary, with Stellina, Diego now felt his spirit revitalised. Seeing Stellina busy taking care of Arianna was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen."Get ready Stellina, today I'm taking you to a special place."Stellina's face lit up instantly. It was unusual for Diego to ask her out without asking her first."Where are we going today?" asked Stellina with a sweet smile on her lips."Just come along, you'll find out later."After Stellina got ready, it turned out that Diego had brought her the house where he was born and raised. The house had now been transformed into a restaurant with a vintage style."Come in," Diego said softly. He took Stellina by the hand. Their arrival was welcomed by the owner of the restaurant."Hello, Diego, it's been a while since I've seen you, why do you look so fresh and young," Bruno greeted him kindly."You're sti

Why did papa and mama leave for so long?" The little girl immediately ran into Stellina's arms. As always, Stellina's presence always made Arianna happy. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around the neck of the woman she considered her own mother. Stellina and Arianna had a special closeness that only the two of them knew and felt. A bond between mother and daughter that even Stellina herself could not explain. With Arianna, Stellina feels like a perfect woman even though Arianna is not her daughter."Honey, I've only been gone for a while, I miss you, mom and dad have work to do first." Stellina replied softly while looking at Arianna's clear eyes that radiated sincerity."Mama, Arianna wants a pony. Do you want to buy it for me?"

Matteo's whole body was suddenly stiff and nervous after hearing the stranger's words. Matteo watched Diego's back and the stranger beside him walk away. In his mind, Matteo questioned who the stranger was who suddenly said the painting was a fake."What did he say?" asked Eston, interrupting Matteo's thoughts.Matteo immediately smiled stiffly at Eston. Of course he could not let Eston be swayed by the stranger's words."Sir, he may have just been joking," Matteo said, trying to reassure Eston.Eston shifted his gaze from looking at Diego and the stranger's backs, to looking at Matteo. The look of doubt on his face instantly faded and he returned to arching a proud smile."That's right. Why should we think about it? It is also possible that Diego took the man away because he wanted to reprimand him," Eston replied, nodding his head twice.Hearing that suddenly made Matteo breathe a sigh of relief.

A large ship carrying a container of goods arrived at the port of destination.The atmosphere in the harbor was even more chaotic as Eston's bodyguards, who had been waiting all along, rushed to the ship. Others were making preparations for heavy equipment to unload the large container from the ship.After the special stairs appeared and stretched out as a path, Matteo appeared with three bodyguards. They descended the stairs, with the three bodyguards occasionally keeping Matteo's body balanced."Don't forget to make sure the container doesn't fall and damage the goods inside!" Matteo warned the crew and some of Eston's bodyguards.Once he was fully disembarked, grounded in the harbor, Matteo walked a little as he watched the heavy equipment begin to transport the container.

This time, nothing could be missed.Diego also prepared himself for Eston's arrival. With the presence of Stellina, who was now disguised as Vellina, there was no suspicion on Eston's part. At least until now, everything was going the way he wanted it to. Diego plans to give Eston one of the souvenirs they bought in Rome."I want to give my papa-in-law some of the souvenirs we bought in Rome, can you help me choose them?" Diego asked, looking at his watch. He didn't have much time as Eston would be landing in Vomero soon."Of course, I will choose the best for Mr. Eston," Stellina replied with a sweet smile."Don't forget, he's your father. Don't make any mistakes that make him suspicious of all this." Diego reiterated Stellina's role. This time the beautiful girl didn't answer, she just looked

Finally, the moment Stellina had been waiting for came. Just now she had met her family and released her longing, now she had to part with her family again.

Even though the girl repeatedly told her that everything would be fine.They arrived at Napoly airport three hours before departure. As always, the airport was bustling with people and business. There was still a little time to prepare a few things.Stellina smiled gently at Arianna who had fallen asleep in the car, but when they arrived at the airport, her eyes were perfectly round. It was as if the little girl had been fully recharged to run here and there through the vast airport."Watch your step, sweetie, don't get in the way of people who want to pass.""Mama, the airport is spacious and very cool. I like it, are we going to wait here for a long time?" asked Arianna, holding her hair which occasionally covered her face."We'll just wait for the plan
