HER REVENGE

25.

After a few moments of silence, Alessandro's eyes were still fixed on Chiara, but his expression had grown cold.

"From now on, you're not allowed to enter my room, or my study, again,"

"But I'm your wife," Chiara protested, her eyes wide with shock.

"The last time I checked, you're not my real wife, So stay out of my rooms. Good night."

With that, he turned and stalked out of the room, leaving Chiara alone

Maria burst into Matteo's room, flinging things off the shelves and scattering them across the floor.

"Mum, what are you doing?" Matteo yelled, his eyes wide.

"You're not going to be a photographer, I want you to quit!"

Matteo's mouth fell open. "Mum, I love photography, It's what I want to do with my life!"

"It's a waste of time,"

"Mum, just get out of my room,"

"I will not allow you to waste all of my efforts over the last five years, You need to quit and join Massimo."

"Massimo again?" Matteo asked, his eyes narrowing. "He came to you, didn't he?"

Maria's face flushed. "That's not important,"

"I choose the work I want, and I don't care what you think,"

"You punk!" Maria yelled, her face red with anger. "I won't allow that!"

"Mum, it's better for you to stop this before I tell everyone what you did,"

"You're threatening me now?" Maria asked, her eyes wide.

"I'm not trying to threaten you, Mum, I'm just saying that it's better for you to stop what you're doing, and I think you should consider what Fabrizio who you call my father  would do if he found out what you did to him."

Maria's eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't dare,"

"Then please leave my room,"

Maria glared at him, her jaw clenched.  she turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Matteo let out a long breath,

"You sent for me?" Alessandro asked,

"Yes, of course!" Fabrizio said. "I have a surprise for you, since you're free today."

"What kind of surprise?" Alessandro asked,

"You'll see," Fabrizio said, a sly smile playing on his lips.

Fabrizio clapped his hands, and a video of Bianca started playing on the screen. She was tied down, her face pale and weak.

Alessandro's fist clenched. "What do you want?"

"I told you," Fabrizio said, his voice smug. "I want you to give me a grandchild.

"But you gave me time," Alessandro protested.

"Yes, I did, But I think I need to shorten the timeline. I'll give you one month, or else I'll kill Bianca and your wife."

Alessandro's eyes flashed. "You wouldn't dare,"

Fabrizio smirked. "Oh, but I would,"

"Stay away from my wife, and don't you dare hurt my mother,"

"You know the deal, Give me a grandson, kick your wife out, and if you dare fall for her, consider her death."

Alessandro's face went ashen. "You can't be serious, You're not actually threatening to kill my mother."

Fabrizio gave him a cruel smile. "I'm dead serious,"
