Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 418 Consequences

"Carlo, just get out of this matter. I will explain everything to you when I come home. At this time, you just go away from here. Let me handle this," Emma pleaded, her panic evident in her voice. Leonardo couldn't help but notice the sudden change in her demeanor - the same woman who had threatened them moments ago now seemed terrified.

"No, Emma, we have to solve this right now. Just leave Sofia. We will talk about it and put the gun down. Where the hell did you get this gun?" Carlo's voice carried a mix of concern and frustration as he confronted his wife.

Leonardo realized that Emma must have stolen Carlo's gun. The revelation further cemented his belief in the depths of her evil nature. He couldn't comprehend how someone could be so selfish and heartless, not even sparing a thought for her husband's feelings or safety. "Don't give me your lecture, Carlo. I am not in the mood to listen to any of your nonsense. I know that Sofia is your daughter from Maria, and I hate her for that. You also hate her, remember? I really wanted her to die just like her mother. They don't deserve to live in this world. These fucking bitches who always wanted to have a rich husband. First, her mother, Maria, trapped you for your wealth, and now Sofia has trapped Leonardo," Emma spewed venomous words, revealing the depth of her hatred.

Her accusations about Sofia and Maria were baseless and unfounded, driven by her own insecurities and jealousy. Leonardo felt a surge of anger at her audacity to speak ill of his wife and her deceased mother. Emma's words were nothing but poison spewing from a heart consumed by darkness.

"What the hell are you saying, Emma? Are you out of your mind? Neither Maria nor Sofia did anything. They were also victims of contract marriage. But unlike my marriage, Leonardo and Sofia found their love and deserve to be together. Don't be stupid, Emma. Leave Sofia alone. And Leonardo, please forgive my wife for her sin. Please, one last time, forgive her," Carlo implored both Emma and Leonardo, trying to reason with them.

Leonardo remained silent but nodded emotionlessly, his emotions still simmering beneath the surface.

"Emma, put the gun down and come. We will take you home. You need help. You are sick. Come, give me your gun," Carlo pleaded, his voice filled with concern and empathy. He hoped to reach the vulnerable part of Emma that was still buried beneath her rage and darkness.

Leonardo watched closely, his heart pounding, hoping that Carlo's words would break through to Emma.

'Emma, just leave my wife, and I will make you pay for your sins. Don't worry,' Leonardo resolved in his mind, willing Emma to make the right choice.

"OK, I will leave her, but before that, I want her to sign on the papers of the Ricci Empire that she is transferring everything to my daughter Kat's name," Emma stated in her evil, manipulative voice. Leonardo's heart sank at her demand, but he nodded immediately, his priority being Sofia's safety above all else.
