Chapter 6 Gold Digger

Enzo was enjoying the party, holding an expensive scotch in his hand, watching the drama unfold before him while Maria stood beside him.

As Vanessa kissed Alessandro, all the paparazzi began clicking pictures, and quickly this went viral on social media and television. However, no one bothered to capture what happened afterward. Alessandro instantly stepped back, gently pushing Vanessa away from him.

He warned her in a low and dangerous voice, "Don't do that again. I am a married man."

Vanessa murmured an apology in a remorseful voice, but no one heard it. Alessandro also did not bother to correct anyone. He did not care about his Casanova image as it served well for his plan to save his wife. He used to bring another woman with him to every party rather than his own

wife, so everyone would say that he didn't care about her. No one would target his wife to indirectly harm Alessandro Valentino, as he had many rivals looking for an opportunity to take him down. Everyone knew she meant nothing to him and he didn't love her.

But even Alessandro didn't himself realize how much he cared about his arranged bride. The mere thought of someone hurting her was unbearable and made him want to burn the whole world. But he didn't want to feel anything-hell, he despised any emotions his arranged bride stirring in his cold heart. Yet, somehow, his gold-digger, unfaithful wife had managed to break through the rock wall around his heart with her seemingly innocent face and spell- casting hazel eyes. Whenever this unexpected thought filled him with a fear that chilled him to the bone, he masked his feelings with cruelty toward her, breaking her heart in the most ruthless way.

Suddenly, Enzo's phone began to ring, and he excused himself, moving to a far secluded corner to answer the call. "Is the work done?" he asked the person calling him.

It was Enzo who had sent goons to kill Aria on her mother's instructions. They knew the house would be empty; her mother had sent all the servants out for the whole day and given the guards the day off. Aria was always regarded as lower than the servants, so no one bothered to care that she was alone in the mansion. Their plan to kill her without arousing suspicion seemed foolproof.

"Boss, we went to kill that bitch, but she escaped, taking advantage of the darkness. We are still searching for her and will find her soon, the goon informed him in a terrified and disappointed voice.

useless!" Enzo's anger flared as he shouted into the phone, but then he realized he was still at the party and lowered his voice.
