HER REVENGE

10.

"Massimo's back," Sebastiano said,"What does he want?"

"He's back for revenge," Alessandro said, his tone dark. He knew Massimo better than anyone, and he knew what the man was capable of.

Sebastiano was looking at Alessandro, waiting for an explanation. "But what the hell happened back then?" he asked"What made Matteo hate you so much?"

Alessandro was silent, his thoughts swirling.

"ALESSANDRO, answer me!" Sebastiano said

But before Alessandro could respond, Michele burst into the room. "Boss, I have some news,Salvador will be back in town tomorrow."

Alessandro's shoulders relaxed, and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "That's good to hear,We need to be prepared."

But before he could continue, Michele spoke again. "Also, I've taken your wife to the penthouse. She's waiting for you there."

"That's true," Sebastiano said, giving Alessandro a pointed look. "You should be with your wife on your wedding night."

"She doesn't need me, and I don't need her," Alessandro said, "Our marriage is a sham, and we both know it."

"Do you really want your father to find out that this whole thing is a plan?,It could put all of us in danger."

"I know,Let's go," Alessandro said to Michele, and the two of them left the room.

"Thank you for bringing me home," Lucia said

"You're welcome," Luca said, his smile warm.

"So..." Lucia said, her voice trailing off.

"What is it?"

"Nothing," Lucia said, quickly backtracking. "Good night."

She rushed inside, not wanting to give Luca the chance to ask any more questions.

As she closed the door, Luca shook his head and laughed.

Maria and Fabrizio were lying in bed together, both of them fast asleep

"When was the last time you touched me?"

Fabrizio hesitated, and then sighed. "I'm not in the mood for this rubbish tonight,"

"You're not in the mood?,That means you don't love me anymore. Is it because you're still in love with Bianca?,You're not going to answer me, huh?" Maria said, her voice rising in anger. "Do you still love her?"

Fabrizio's eyes were cold and hard as he looked at her.
"What if I said yes?"

"Fabrizio,I've done everything for you. I've stood by your side and supported you, even when it meant hurting Bianca."I made you who you are today,I've supported you, even when it meant hurting Bianca. You know that I know your dark secrets. I could destroy you if I wanted to. You might be a powerful mafia boss, but to me, you're just a weak man. And do you really think Alessandro will continue to do your bidding if he finds out what you've done? Don't push me."

There was a long pause, as Fabrizio stared at her, his expression unreadable. Then, slowly, he began to laugh.

"You think you can destroy me?,If I go down, you'll be coming down with me. We're both in this together, whether you like it or not."

"He's not home?" Chiara said.

"Why not? It's getting pretty late," Lucia said

"I don't care if he never comes home,He's a killer and a mafia boss. He could be out there right now, cutting people's throats. Why should I care?"
