Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 131 Retribution +5 Pearls

Maria was anxious about what they would do without Alessandro and how they would explain it to the Italian Mafia that the Mafia king was dead. She didn't want to leave behind her luxurious lifestyle and be forced to run their business herself, especially since her son was a useless idiot.

Maria's voice hardened as she gritted out, "You've made a grave mistake, Enzo. Alessandro was the reason we thrived. Without him, we could lose everything. You don't understand that," she scolded. Alessandro was no threat to them, as he had stepped down from his inheritance and given up everything for Enzo to have and rule. She hated him, but she was selfish enough to let him live.

"That's the reason, Madre," Enzo grimaced. "That's the exact reason I never liked him, Madre. You always compared me to him and wanted me to be better than him. Now, without him in the picture, there won't be anyone to make me feel like a failure," Enzo spat out bitterly.

At that moment, his wife, Vittoria, emerged from the hallway with their son, Lorenzo, holding his hand. She had overheard the last part of the conversation and understood well how her husband resented his stepbrother.

"Is that true?" Vittoria's eyes gleamed with wicked pleasure.

Enzo smirked. "That's true, my love."

"I knew it," Vittoria chimed. "I knew that one day you would rule this entire empire on your own, and the day has come." She encouraged him, and Enzo responded with a kiss. "I know that with you by my side; we can achieve anything." Vittoria, the daughter of a mafia gang member, was well aware of the underworld's operations. She understood the business and was determined to see her husband take full control, no longer living in the shadows.

"See, Madre?" Enzo said triumphantly. "Vittoria is also happy, and you should be too. You hated Alessandro and were never able to kill him. I did it for you." He declared with a conceited expression, reveling in his accomplishment.

"I'm happy for you, my son. What mother wouldn't be pleased to see her son happy?" Maria said, overwhelmed by her maternal affection for him. "But it's not the right time to celebrate, Enzo. We need to pretend to grieve so no one suspects anything," she suggested. "Oh, Madre, no more pretending," Enzo announced loudly, drawing everyone's attention. "I'm the one who makes the rules now, and everyone has to follow them."

He glanced firmly at the staff who had overheard him. Back to work, you useless idiots," he ordered rudely, causing the staff to immediately resume their tasks.

"Now, your boss is me, and what I say goes," Enzo declared, but his words faltered as the main door was flung open. An authoritative figure walked in, causing Enzo's face to drain of color. He began trembling with fear. Maria and Vittoria shared the same reaction of shock and dread.

"What's the matter, everyone?" Alessandro mocked menacingly. "You all look at me as if you've seen a ghost."
