LAST TIME ON WRECKING MY HUSBAND_____Serena enters Adriano's office to retrieve the drive, but gets distracted by a picture of her parents with the Di Salvo's. Unbeknownst to her, the wall holding the picture is actually a secret door to the torture chamber. Luca almost catches her, but she manages to escape. Will Luca fall for her tricks or will she succeed again?****If that didn't work, nothing would. When I saw his gaze soften, I knew I had succeeded. Crying feels good, honestly.______"You have no idea how you got there?" He pressed further. "Do you remember where you were standing?""You're just wasting time by dwelling on this issue. Do you know any other way to access the torture chamber besides the front door?" I asked him."I don't. I'm just as surprised as you are. Unless you're lying to me.""I have no reason to lie.""If you're telling the truth like youRelated chapters

Chapter 64: Watch it crumble (2)LAST TIME ON WRECKING MY HUSBAND_________Serena managed to evade the situation where she almost got caught by Luca, goes back to retrieve the drive and is about to hand it over to Maria.________Had we grown that close? It was hard to remember when I used that line around her. Had I really grown that attached to these people? Why? Just why is my heart aching so bad when I'm supposed to be happy?!****Have you ever woken up one morning and suddenly everything feels so surreal like you can't believe you're actually in that situation, but you are? Because that was how I felt waking up the next day.I stared into nothingness for a while, blocking my thoughts for a mere moment, then I stood up in motion and rummaged through my wardrobe. The drive was there, laying safely where I put it.I had exactly two hours to be ready.They say when it's your day of victory, you walk w

Chapter 65: Ill-FatedI stayed hidden as my Gia and Mamma had wanted me to, praying and trying to calm my heart as it thumped against my chest.After hours of staying down there, I couldn't wait any longer.I climbed up and tried to push open the door, calling out to my family. Suddenly, the door pushed open."Gia?" My sister's smile calmed my heart."Come." She gave me her hand.I recoiled at the sight of the dead bodies on the floor, all of father's best men and fighters."Where's Mamma and Papa?"Her smile contorted into a frown."Where are they?" She tilted her head to the side, as though she was confused."Y-yes. Are they inside?""No.""Let's go to them," I chirped."We can't, Aria." Her cold expression scared me."W-why?" I muttered, loud enough for her to hear."You killed them.""What?""Have you forgotten?!""No, Dante did. I-it wasn't me!" I fired back.Her tone was harsh. "How dare you forget?! You killed them.""N-no." I shook my head. "I didn't do it.""You did! You coul

Chapter 66: Ill-Fated (2)"I don't want to cut corners right now. All I need is for you to tell me what the hell is going on," Adriano tells me.If only it were that easy.Well, the thing is I'm not who you think I am. I'm Aria, Federico's daughter, not Serena Da Costa. Your father killed my parents, and then my father's cousin took me in, and she's bitchy. She raised me, and now I'm out to get revenge for my family. I've handed over your family's stupid drive that contains everything about your mafia to her, so you should be in ruins in three days, and she also wants me to poison you. All that's put me in a dilemma lately. I've been out of my mind, been getting wasted, and oh, my nightmares have returned."Are you going to talk?" He spoke again. "Because I could find out on my own, and you know that."I had no strength to come up with a lie. "I'll tell you in five days.""Why not now?"I yawned, and the way his hands ra

Chapter 67: Unknown Forces.I'm done with Serena and her problems if she's not willing to tell me about them. Right now, my Mafia needs me.I dialed Pietro's number."I'm on my way to the mansion, Don," he spoke before I said a word."Good," I hung up.My chauffeur got the limo ready."The limo will slow me down, get the black Porsche ready," I instructed them, sitting outside with my legs crossed, looking through my shades under a shade close to my mother's garden, waiting for Pietro."Get Stefano," I sent one of my men. It's high time I dismissed him. I don't care about how she feels after I do. She did almost pick him over our marriage after all. I hate his stupid face too.In no time, he was before me."Don," he bowed. I really hate his ponytail too. I began to feel like Serena liked it; it was good enough to grab or pull anyway. I could cut off his head, then shave it off and feed it to the hawks or whatever."You will no longer work for my wife. I'll assign someone else. From no

Chapter 68: Darkening."You're changing the conversation. She's better now," she tells me."That's good," I sigh in relief. "Just check up on her from time to time.""I will," she warns me. "Stop drinking.""Yeah, yeah," I say gently. "Go to bed, Mamma Lia.""You too," she tells me.I hung up and finished my scotch.Grabbing my laptop, I sit down with a copy of the flash drive that was made to self-destruct if the wrong password was inputted more than once.It was like whoever was doing this had the drive. No one knows about the drive, and no one will think of arranging the books on my shelf in the order of the password, not after the rule that my bookshelves remain untouched.I check in on the current footage of the secret room, and the drive's box was still in place. I had to make sure of it.I stayed up all night making calls and sending messages to everyone, every Don, politician, Minister, crime boss whose favor my father and I have earned over the years. I would be nothing but a

Chapter 69: Frigid FoeADRIANO'S POVI felt my heart slowing down, making it difficult to breathe. There was a sharp pain in my chest, and I gripped the side where it hurt, as if that would change anything. Droplets of blood from my parted lips fell onto the sidewalk, and I could barely move.Two of my men, I think, held me, and I didn't know who they were. My eyes were slowly shutting, and it was only a matter of time before my whole world shut down completely.****I was awake, but I was unable to move."It could've been worse if he wasn't resistant to poison before."I was poisoned? That fucking junkie."How long will it take before he recovers?""A while-""Whoever did this has to pay.""This is crazy.""His hands are moving." Is that Luca?"Yes, it's Luca." I must have said that out loud. I open my eyes, everything's blurry for a while until it clears. I'm not in a hospital for sure is all I know. My uncles would never take me there."Check on him." I hear the sound of my uncle s

Chapter 70: Heart-wrenching torment.Serena's POV.~~~~~~~~~My eyes fluttered open as I groaned."Goodness! She's awake!" Someone screamed. Evonne?"Finally." I would recognize that annoying voice anywhere. Olivia.Making an attempt to speak, I choked on nothing, maybe air?"Get her water!" Evonne charged and in no seconds a glass of water was in my hands.I cleared my throat then I finally found my voice. "Where's Mamma Lia?" I asked them."She's not home right now, but she'll be soon." Evonne tells me."Excuse us." I demand. Without question, she left Olivia and me in the room.I whisper in annoyance. "Was it in his food?"She rolls her eyes before proceeding to shake her head. "No, it was in his water." She sarcastically replied.Gritting, I glare at her making her get the message."What do you think? Of course, it was in his food."She was right. What was I thinking?I needed to get to Maria. I knew to know how much damage she has caused. We didn't need to poison him. Fuck, I don

Chapter 71: Happier than ever.A/NI listened to HAPPIER THAN EVER by Billie Eilish, also LOVELY by Billie ft Khalid while writing to get in the mood (chuckles). You might want to listen too.__________Everything surrounding me was pitch black. I tried to feel whatever I could with my hands, but I came in contact with nothing but air."Hello?" I called. "Is anyone there?" I mumbled the last part. "I'm scared, please."Am I blind? I asked myself.I couldn't be. I know I'm not. The atmosphere was eerie, and my body was on alert to jump at the first means of escape."Aria." A voice gently whispered."M-mom?" My lips trembled. "Mom!""Tsk tsk tsk. You poor thing.""Mother." My voice came out barely a whisper."You foolish thing.""S-stop.""No, mother. She deserves it all.""No! Gia, tell her to stop.""How can I? You left your family to die. You selfishly kept yourself away," my mother continued."I always knew you were a weakling," my father's voice joined."It's not true," I cried. "I

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

"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

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
