Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 367 Love Him

Sofia mustered all her courage and firmly stated, "Then kill me because I am not going to sign."

"You bitch," Mak hissed, his anger boiling over. He swiftly pulled the trigger.

Sofia closed her eyes, bracing herself for the imminent shot. Yet, instead of the expected gunshot, she heard a deafening crack as the door burst open, followed by the sound of gunfire. Trembling with fear, she cautiously opened her eyes and saw Mak sprawled on the floor, clutching his bleeding hand while his gun slipped from his grasp.

Her gaze darted toward the broken door, and her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Leonardo and Mark rushing toward her. Leonardo's men retaliated with their own gunfire, quickly incapacitating Mak's henchmen, who now lay motionless on the ground. With swift efficiency, Leonardo untied Sofia from the chair and enveloped her in a protective embrace. Relieved yet shaken, she nestled into his arms. Leonardo pulled back slightly to study her face, his eyes now burning with rage. He marched over to Mak, gripping his collar and yanked him to his feet, before delivering a powerful punch to his face.

Mak crumpled to the ground, sprawled on his back. Leonardo approached him with a vengeance, delivering a forceful kick to his already injured hand, causing Mak to cry out in agony. "Boss, look at these papers," Mark interjected, extending the documents toward Leonardo.

Leonardo snatched the papers, his eyes widening with disbelief and his jaw clenching in furious resolve. It was clear he was gritting his teeth, his anger seething beneath the surface. "You fucking bastard! How dare you prepare this power of attorney?" Leonardo growled, his voice laced with venom.

He forcefully kicked Mak's bleeding hand once more, causing fresh streams of blood to trickle from the wound.

"Leonardo... he... he forced me to sign the papers. B-but... but I... I hadn't. I didn't," Sofia hastily revealed, recounting the events to him.

Leonardo swiftly closed the distance between them, his footsteps urgent. He stood before Sofia, his gaze intense.

"Do you know what is written in these papers?" he demanded, his voice tinged with concern. Sofia shook her head in response.

"Its a power of attorney and it's stating that you are handing over all the rights of the Ricci Empire to this fucking bastard," Leonardo seethed, pointing an accusing finger at Mak.

Sofia furrowed her brow in confusion, her mind grappling to comprehend the situation before her. "How can I possibly give anyone the right over the Ricci Empire?" she questioned, her voice laced with bewilderment.

"Because," Leonardo responded, a smug grin playing on his lips, "according to Lady Valentina Ricci's will, she specifically chose you to be the heiress of the Ricci Empire. You now possess sole ownership of all the properties and fortunes belonging to the Ricci family." Sofia gasped in disbelief, her hand instinctively rising to cover her mouth as the weight of the revelation settled upon her. A whirlwind of thoughts and emotions cascaded through her mind.
