The Mafia's Wife Replacement 9. Morbid News
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!Eston's attention immediately shifted towards his study door when a knock sounded. Eston frowned as he waited for the door to open and the figure of the man on his right hand enter the room. The man's face looked worried, as if implying he brought some bad news.Before the right-hand man was about to speak in detail, Eston raised a palm. Gave the signal to hold off for a while as there was still a call. Eston's right hand man just nodded his head."Yes, I'm in Belgium on business right now. Don't try to offer me a business you can't guarantee." Eston said to his business partner on the phone.Eston occasionally watched his right hand man for a few seconds. At that time, for some reason Eston felt that the man on his right hand was agitated."Come on, let's not discuss something that is not important. I have a lot of business here. I'll hang up from you."Without waiting for a long time and not wanting to hear what his business partner was saying, Eston immediately

Eston seemed to feel his heart drop that very second. He took a deep breath and exhaled while lifting his head."Oh my god... my daughter shouldn't be in a coma if I'm not away on my work matters." Eston complained and once again insinuated Diego about Diego's incompetence in looking after Vellina."What did Vellina do before the accident?" asked Eston after complaining.Diego was still silent for a few seconds. Thinking of the right answer to Eston's question."To be honest... I don't know, Mr. Eston.""You don't know?!" Eston raised his voice again."I mean, I've received news that Vellina will be going with her friends. I also ordered two bodyguards to guard her from behind. But it turns out that Vellina knows about bodyguards—""Diego! Stop explaining by putting Vellina in a corner! You're the one responsible for the accident here!" Eston suddenly interrupted Diego's explanation without wanting to listen to it all.At that time, Diego was somewhat surprised by Eston's words, which

"Why is your face suddenly gloomy?" Diego made a sound, startling Stellina from her reverie.The direction of Stellina's eyes that radiated doubt shifted to Diego. That made Diego realize that the woman in front of him was currently confused.Without question, Diego had already guessed what was bothering Stellina."If you can't continue this charade, you can cancel your plans."Suddenly Stellina was surprised to hear Diego's words. Stellina shook her head quickly."No way. Are you crazy? Even your preparations are very mature."Diego snapped his fingers. "You know that. Why do you still look confused?"Stellina immediately couldn't answer for a few seconds. But before long, Stellina let out a restless sigh. There is a sense of guilt if he canceled this play plan."I'm not worried, just thinking about how to pretend to be someone with amnesia." Stellina replied in her confused state.Meanwhile, in front of Stellina, Diego didn't seem to care. After standing up and placing his hands acr

Stellina opened her eyes deliberately, watching Eston for a few seconds. Then her hand reached out to signal one of the nurses who happened to be staring at her."Miss Vellina has come to her senses!"After one of the male nurses pointed at Stellina, all eyes turned in unison. The movement of Eston's right-hand man suddenly stopped in the air, even though he was about to give Diego one more punch.Stellina deliberately groaned while moving her fingers and face slowly. This made Eston smile broadly. In a hurry, Eston immediately walked towards Stellina."Vellina, my beloved daughter..." Eston's voice sounded very soft, much different compared to Diego's.Stellina slowly opened her eyes. It's kind of hard to act out someone who just woke up from a coma. Luckily, however, Stellina had read a book with a similar character.At least Stellina can demonstrate how the character acts."You're awake?" Eston couldn't help but smile broadly, as if forgetting the chaotic fight that had just taken

Unfortunately, the doctor nodded in response to Eston's guess."That's right. He has amnesia, sir," replied the doctor. After completing the examination, the doctor sighed heavily. "Luckily even though the brain impact was strong, he was able to wake up from the coma. His physical injuries weren't too severe. The amnesia wouldn't last long."Eston's body still went limp after hearing the doctor's explanation. Instantly his gaze changed to that of a dazed person. This made Stellina secretly feel that she couldn't bear to witness Eston's grief.For some reason, Stellina imagined that Eston was her biological father. Stellina wouldn't be able to stop herself from seeing the uneasiness on her father's face."It won't last long, but he still has amnesia..." Eston said very softly as his body slowly almost swayed. Eston immediately removed the small, short-rimmed glasses at the bridge of his nose, then gave small massages there."How did this happen?" asked Eston groaning angrily.Diego fel

"I never thought that your acting would make him believe it!" Diego praised Stellina again, but this time his tone was lower than before.On the other hand, Stellina still felt uncomfortable after receiving so many compliments. If indeed the plan is successful, then Stellina can help her father in getting a lung donor."You can trust me from now on," replied Stellina after being barely able to say anything.Diego had already finished clapping and nodded his head at Stellina's words. "Yes, I can trust you. As for the original plan, you have done well. But..."Stellina immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Diego curiously. She didn't answer anything to wait for the man's continuation. The man stared back at her."This is just the beginning. I haven't seen how you act in the middle of the plan until the end of the plan," continued Diego, his tone implied threat. It was as if there was any concern that Stellina would mess up their plans later.It was clear that Stellina understood

Diego took a deep breath of relief. "Eston is back from here, at least you succeeded at the beginning of the plan," he said to Stellina.At first Stellina didn't understand Diego's sudden change in topic. However, after remembering that she had deliberately chased Eston away gently, Stellina immediately rubbed the nape of his neck."Was it wrong for me to send him away?" asked Stellina, suddenly feeling worried.Diego shook his head as he put his cell phone in his blazer pocket. "Not at all. You just woke up from a coma and need rest, your reasoning is quite reasonable.""He won't suspect anything, will he?" Stellina was still thinking about the bad possibility of her attitude towards Eston earlier."Of course not. If you know how Vellina is, she's much worse at kicking him out than how you were earlier," Diego answered without any hesitation.Stellina shook for a moment. I don't know if it's just his feelings or not, but from the start he always hears about Vellina's attitude which i

"It will be given to Ariana?" Diego held back the steps of a maid-woman who was walking down the aisle carrying a tray of food.The maid-woman whose steps suddenly stopped was suddenly surprised by Diego's arrival. For a few moments, the maid-woman was motionless for a moment with a shocked expression on her face and nodded her head awkwardly."Y-yes, Mister Diego. What's wrong?" asked the maid-woman who sounded awkward to Diego. The maid woman was worried that she had made a mistake.With a crooked smile, not showing any anger at all, Diego held out both hands."Just let me bring this food to Ariana." Diego provided assistance to the maid woman, but unfortunately the maid woman took one step back while shaking her head slowly.The maid woman before Diego smiled. "No need, Mister Diego. If you're feeling overwhelmed with work—""Not at all. I'm done with my work," Diego answered quickly. He really wanted to check on Ariana's condition after being too busy dealing with Stellina matters

The Mafia's Wife Replacement 66. Diego's Scheme
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. Because Matteo would not have b
The Mafia's Wife Replacement 65. Matteo is Back
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. Matteo was a little worried as he watched this scene."If any of the goods are damaged, I will cut your pay!" Matteo threatened with a louder and more emphatic call than before.There was no resistance or rebutta

Stellina knew what she had to do. During her time as Eston's daughter, she had never made a mistake. Diego had been very neat in teaching her many things. 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
The Mafia's Wife Replacement 63. Back to Vomero
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. The look in Laura's eyes that harbored sadness was still in Stellina's eyes. 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

Arianna's favorite thing to do is to buy cotton candy, a snack sold around the area.They happily strolled through the ancient buildings.

Although annoying, Patty had the sincerity to approach a child and Arianna could also feel that Patty was like a pleasant sister.Meanwhile, Diego and Stellina sat together in the courtyard of the Colosseum. They were chatting casually. Diego was no longer angry with Stellina because she had ignored the rules they had agreed upon. Diego was not worried because the situation was very much under control."So how did you feel after

Mama was just about to call Camilla and ask her to bring you to join us."Finally, after Arianna joined them, they all left the hospital to go to a nearby restaurant. Camilla couldn't come along as she had to go back to the hospital to look after Enrico and keep Laura company.They immediately headed to the restaurant.

Arianna was confused at being separated from Stelina. The little girl kept calling her mama's name."Mama... where are you? Why did you leave Arianna here alone? Arianna is scared, Mama."With an upset face Arianna continued to look for Stellina among the hospital visitors. One by one, she searched the faces that passed by, but all of them were not Stellina.The little girl was already in the lobby at the same time as someone pushed open the hospital's glass doors. Arianna's face was instantly filled with anxiety."Mama... where are you?" she whispered softly. The girl looked at the people who were visiting the hospital.While Arianna was confused about finding Stellina, the little girl walked from one corridor to another, until she accidentally collided with a girl."Ouch." Arianna groaned as she fell on the floor."Hey, are you sick?" greeted the girl who turned out to be Patrizia. It was a girl who came with Pedro."My knee is a little sore, ouch!"Arianna cried not only because sh

As per Arianna's wishes, they had a quick bite to eat at a restaurant inside the airport's food court area while buying ice cream for the little girl."Everything is ready, sir." Fabian reported about the hotel he had booked the men to stay at. Diego deliberately did not want to stay at his mansion because Stellina's family was there. At the moment, the hotel was the perfect choice for the night."Let's go straight to the hotel, I'm tired and want to rest soon." Diego stepped off his feet in a hurry. On the airplane, he could barely close his eyes."Yes, sir." Fabian immediately put the luggage into the car that he had prepared.

Several large balloons with Ariel, the mermaid, and other characters from the Little Mermaid also greeted guests at the entrance.
