Wrecking My Husband Chapter 27
Chapter 27: Luca Di SalvoMy plan to get more champagne failed, as dinner commenced immediately after the toast. I went with Adriano and got the grilled steak along with some red wine. After that, Adriano had to say hi to the guests, and my legs were starting to ache from standing and walking for so long."Are you tired, Bella?" Adriano noticed."No, I just need more champagne," I groaned."Waiter!" He summoned a waiter. "Get my wife some champagne.""How many glasses?" he whispered to me."One will do," I whispered back. That was a glass I needed a lot more than one; the brand they served was so good. I jolted in alert as someone tapped me from behind.My jaw dropped as I saw Rosaline, Grace's daughter, aka the one I grew up with, aka Maria's favorite assassin."Don Adri," I marveled at the voice that came out from the tall hunk beside her; she must've been on a mission. I felt bad for the hunky who was to die."Ro-""Serena," she stopped me from calling her by her code name. She alwa

Chapter 28: Luca Di Salvo (2)[ADRIANO'S POV]"Which one should I get?" I looked at the black and blue blazers. I didn't want my woman looking too attractive to other men."I can't believe you bent your morals for her," Pietro said, expressing his disappointment, as expected from a supposed mentor."She's my wife.""A woman isn't supposed to interfere in such matters. Put your home in control!""I believe my father appointed you as my mentor and personal assistant, not my personal chief counselor," I warned. "What happens in my home is none of your business.""Fine. My apologies for intruding," Pietro said, offering a half-hearted apology. "Know that Serena is a fiery ticking time bomb, if you keep giving her what she-""I married her because she was a fiery ticking time bomb. I dread spending the rest of my life with a laid-back sulking woman who does everything I want her to. I want a challenge," I sighed. "I don't want a woman like my mother. Her quiet nature ended her.""She died fr

Chapter 29: Missing Pieces"Ugh." I woke up with a terrible hangover. Sitting up, I rubbed my temple and massaged the sides of my head with both hands. Taking in my surroundings, I came to my senses. The party! Rosaline! My champagne! Adriano!"You're up." His voice made me turn my head. His wet hair fell flat, sticking to his forehead. Water dropped from his hair to his face and then to his exposed chest. The bathrobe gave an excellent view of how well-toned his upper body was. He gently wiped his face with a small face towel."Yeah." He stared at me with an expression I couldn't fathom. I prayed within me that I hadn't done something stupid at the party. I tried hard at that moment, but it remained impossible to remember anything from when I bumped into a man. That man, there was something ominous about him I wished I knew what it was. I wished to remember him vividly."You're sober, yet your attention isn't on me?" I didn't notice how fast he moved from the bathroom door to hovering

Chapter 30: Dear, Brother.ADRIANO'S POV~•~"Luca, get away from my wife," I glowered."She's your wife?" Luca scoffed. "Well." He paused, meeting my wife's eyes. "Seems like it.""Why are there two of you?" Serena mumbled."There can only be one of me," Luca cockily smiled."Like you could ever be like me," I retorted."Aren't you going to give your brother a hug? After all, it's been years," he said plainly."Two years isn't exactly a long time. We had to pretend like it was okay, so those far from us wouldn't notice.""Can I take her with me?" Angeline suggested."Can you handle her?""What? I can handle myself," Serena rolled her eyes."I have pins with poison.""Cool," Luca grinned."Chinese people know the good stuff," she said smugly."I'll leave her with you.""Black-""Let's get you seated," she took Serena by her arm."Does she work for you?" Luca referred to Angeline."She's with Rick," I told him. The three of us used to be acquainted."I see. He's lucky.""Yeah, yeah," I

Chapter 31: I'm testing.ADRIANO'S POV~•~"Do you really?" I brought my face closer to hers, our noses almost touching."I-I don't-"I chuckled at her reaction. "You're cute.""You confuse me," she blurted."I confuse everyone.""Whatever," she threw her head back ridiculously, almost hitting the car window.My forehead creased at her action, and I raised my eyebrow. "What are you doing?""Your face was too close.""You could have just said so.""Oh," she brought her head back up."I think I like you this way," I snickered. "I'll be letting your hands go now.""Finally," she mumbled, but I heard her."But you won't be taking off your dress," I added. "You can do that when we're alone." I let my breath fan her neck to tease her, and I was pleased I got a reaction from her as her face and ears turned beet red."I-I'll take i-it off," she slurred adamantly."I have some champagne with me. I'll give you some if you don't.""Liar.""I'm not lying." It was a lie. I just needed to get her to

Chapter 32: Sister-in-law.I finished my food, took knitting with Mamma Lia, and played chess with Stefano. Unfortunately for him, he lacked the skills to beat a woman of my kind. Apart from the drama with Adriano, I felt like my day was off to a good start."I think Gia should get a purple bow tie, black's a little too masculine," Evonne suggested."You think?" I asked. "But I really feel like blue would shine more on her white fur." I paused. "Oh! Red is sexy and fierce. We could make it a bow on her head though.""Oh, wow! Yes, red," Evonne liked my idea."What do you think Gia? How's red?" I asked Gia, who was sitting on Adriano's grey rug."What happened to the cream rug?" I asked Evonne before Gia could woof in approval."You don't remember?""Remember what? What did I do last night? I was going to ask, but I got carried away." I nearly panicked. Everything was in a haze. My memories were absolutely distorted."Well," she nervously looked away."Well? Tell me," I demanded."It's

Chapter 33: Dante's Whore"We meet again, sister-in-law." Immediately, I heard those words, and something told me I'd be saying goodbye to my chill time with Rosaline."Are you both acquainted?" one of the uncles asked."We met at the anniversary, right?" I clarified."Yes.""I see." He slightly nodded.Both of his uncles were surprisingly built, even for their age. They looked like they were in their early 50s, and were both dressed in grey tuxedos. One had a grey tie, and the other was wearing a red tie, and they looked surprisingly alike. Even though green eyes were said to be genetically recessive, it ran through the family like a flood. A flood of sea green and emerald eyes."Ahem." The one with the red tie cleared his throat. "Mamma Lia told us your husband is out at the moment.""Yes, he is," I smiled."Sit, you look so uneasy in your own home," the one with the grey tie told me."Yes, please. Come sit next to me," Adriano's look-alike told me.Thinking about it, Adriano never t

Chapter 34: The Four Fs.After everyone was settled, Mamma Lia decided to get busy by making dinner while I intended to pass on that. The aroma of her food and my greedy watering mouth pulled me like some magnetic tool, and in the end, I joined her in making some traditional Italian cuisine plus some lasagna because I was craving it."Don Adri is back." A maid rushed to the kitchen. I was still tasting the food so Mamma Lia could dice some more onions. I hated onions."Oh." I immediately untied my apron and removed the cotton gloves I had on. "I'll be back.""I understand, I'll make the rest of it." She smiled. "Go to your husband." She urged me.I sheepishly creaked open the door of our room. Adriano was undoing his tie with his back facing me. "You don't have to sneak around.""Don't be a party pooper, Adriano." I said with my tongue in my cheek."Did anyone give you any trouble?" He spun around."No. Why would they?""That's good." He sighed out of relief."Were they the unwanted gu

Wrecking My Husband Authors Note-92
Hello, I'm Tori, the author of this book. I don't know where to begin, but thank you so much for sticking with me until the end. If you're reading this, you have a big place in my heart.Initially, this book was supposed to be 30 chapters for a competition I joined last year, but it ended up lasting longer than expected, so I could not use it anymore as a short story.Amid illnesses, school issues, and writer's block, I was able to complete "Wrecking My Husband" after a year.This is my first Mafia book, and honestly, I was so scared to continue with it. Sometimes I felt exhausted because this is the first time I'm writing anything romantic, and it just had to be a dark romance. My main genre is horror, so it was challenging.I had to take breaks to focus on so many things and think long and hard about how to connect the feelings of my characters to the readers.I did not think anyone would read this, and I'm sure many must have given up due to my very slow updates. But I'm healthy no
Wrecking My Husband Chapter 91
Chapter 91: A Better Life. ADRIANO'S POV Every day I wake up feeling fulfilled. I have my beautiful wife and my pretty five-year-old daughter who has my wife's beautiful brown hair and inherited my green eyes. The same eyes I used to hate for looking just like my father's, now made me happy each time I saw them in my daughter's face. On weekends, Aria and I would take strolls around the mansion to talk about everything on our minds, as well as things or people that bother us. Then we'd come to a conclusion on how to handle those situations. Most of the time, it ended well. Sometimes we'd argue about it, then settle it. But it was our ritual that we started after a year of marriage. We wanted to be completely honest with each other, no matter what, so that we could learn to embrace each and every side of one another. "Ready?" She hugged me from behind. "We have to be fast before Rick and Rosaline get here." "I am." Every time I looked at her, I felt blessed. She did not look

Chapter 90: Forever and Ever; Where Fate has Led Us (2).I've recently fallen more in love with ponytails and decided that was how I would style my hair tonight.To me, there was something stylish and classy about having your hair up rather than letting it down, but it all depends on the outfit. I considered a few other options but went for ponytails in the end.Touching up my makeup, I let my delusional self imagine how blissful the quality time I'd be having with Adriano would be tonight. Whenever I was with him, I only wished for time to stop and never continue; more than anything, I wanted it to last forever and ever.Discussing work-related affairs could wait. I did not want us to argue one bit tonight. Spraying my perfume, I got news that Luca had arrived."With the way you're dressed one would assume that you are responsible," I teased."As they would think the same for you," he jeered playfully, making both of us chuckle."The Uncles and Mamma Lia had gone before time so we'd

Chapter 89: Where Fate Has Led Us Adriano's POV Aria went through the formal procedures to get the job, and she scaled through every scrutinizing stage. Six months had gone by, and I could not be happier. We weren't ready to rush things. I knew Serena, but I could not say much about Aria. I wanted to know her completely just as she wanted to know me as well. And I love her all the same; no, I do not think I can love her any less. She, without knowing, has me completely wrapped around her fingers, and that is where I'd like to remain. Although the construction company boomed over time, it was a facade for the real deal: my Mafia. She gave me her support in both aspects, bagging contracts back and forth. She was a force, an unstoppable force. Even when I could obviously handle the matter, I left it to my woman so I could flaunt her intelligence to everyone. People would often tell me that I fell for a shrewd businesswoman, and it was an undeniable fact. I got worried from tim

Chapter 88: The Right Direction (2)I hated that I felt so cowardly. It shouldn't be that hard to say."These are just words, Aria! Just say it," I mentally scolded myself.I swallowed. He was waiting patiently for me to say whatever I had to. I also noticed how his forehead slowly creased with worry.I didn't think he had found someone else, not with how he had been acting since we met today. He was his usual self with me."What if he's just trying to be friendly?" My intrusive thoughts nagged me.I can't do this. I need some tequila, I thought. More so, I had already broken my self-made promise to stay away from alcohol only after a year."Give me a minute," I excused myself and got a bottle of tequila from my fridge.I know I said I'd never drink again, but this was the scariest thing I had done in a while.I was just about to take the second shot when he approached me at the mini liquor cabinet. "What are you doing?" He snatched the bottle from me, his anxiousness displayed by the

Chapter 87: The Right DirectionSERENA/ARIA'S POV"Where were we?" I chuckled lightly."Yes.""Adriano, put me down; people are watching.""Let them," he smiled."No, this is different," I pleaded. "People are everywhere.""You didn't seem to have any trouble with the Blondie carrying you in his arms. Yet, you have a problem with me," he feigned annoyance. "Would you rather go back to him?""No," I instantly admitted. "I want to stay with you," I quietly added."Good. I don't want you walking in heels that high; your feet will hurt."It was hard to deny what he said. Though I could easily move in the strapped heels, my ankles were beginning to hurt.We got to where his ride was, and I gasped."Is this a new ride?" The sun shining upon the black vehicle reflected its beauty even more."It got in three days ago, and I thought you should be the first person who gets to sit in it.""Ridiculous," I laughed."It's not ridiculous," he frowned. "This is the Aston Martin DB12, coupe.""Not the

Chapter 86: AFTER.The last four years have been a lot. Tough? Definitely. Peaceful? Not when I had to study for insane tests. Eventful? Yes. I missed everyone. I missed home. I was grateful for the opportunity to keep in touch with them all through video calls, especially with Adriano. There was not a day when he did not make time for me, even when he was covered in blood, bruised, disheveled, he'd call me.I did not think it would be easy all alone in a foreign country for my studies, but he kept me going even after our divorce was finalized. He never left me. My graduation day was the day I was going to let him know that I could not find someone else. I don't think I ever could. I was all his."Ow!" I yelped as the hair straightener burned my ear."What's wrong?" Adriano asked, sounding worried. I could tell how tense he was through the phone."Nothing, I wasn't careful with the straightener.""Please be more gentle. It's a big day," he told me."I will. You're on your way, right?"

Chapter 85: The Next Four Years. SERENA'S POV I woke up feeling trapped, my limbs entangled with something warm and firm. As my hands roamed firm and toned skin, panic set in. Why can't I remember anything? Argh! I shouldn't have followed him? Was I that desperate? I must've looked like a jealous fool! I mentally scolded myself uttering all sorts of profanities. It was when I shifted the soft grey duvet off my upper body that I noticed I was topless. I tried to recollect more from when I ended up in his room, but my effort was fruitless. I'll never drink again. I promised myself. That was the last straw. The one who died when I got drunk was me. There was no blaming Adriano; I brought it upon myself by trying to spy on him like an idiot. Judging from the fact that he was fully clothed and that my pants were on, we did not do much or go all the way. I struggled so much to get my legs out of his. He captured them like I would escape or something. With patience I never knew
Wrecking My Husband Chapter 84
Chapter 84: Never Not Wanted You (2).ADRIANO'S POV.In order to revive the Mafia, I needed to establish connections with influential people. One such person was Liliana, who had been interested in Luca for years. She agreed to help only if I could arrange a date between her and Luca.During the game, my phone rang, and Aria handed it to me. It was likely that was Liliana calling to discuss the plans. I couldn't help but notice the little gasp Aria made, which I found cute. I waited until I excused myself to release the chuckle I had been holding in.Was she jealous? I had no intention of making her feel that way. She had asked for a divorce, but now she was jealous?Probably just shocked, I thought.She must have believed that my love for her was so insignificant that I would move on quickly. It hurt. I went into my room to take the call from Liliana. She was spoiled, demanding, and cocky, but I needed her to strike a deal with her father.I nearly had a heart attack when a shadow lo
