Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 419 Haunting Past

Sofia's heart ached, her emotions conflicting as she fought against feeling anything for the people who had never cared for her. But family ties ran deep, and despite her best efforts, she couldn't deny the pain she saw in her father's eyes. Carlo cried inconsolably, clutching Emma's lifeless body tightly against him. Tears streamed down his face, his cheeks glistening with sorrow, and his body trembled as he silently wept.

Sofia turned her teary eyes towards Leonardo, seeking support and understanding. He gently unwrapped his arm from around her, gesturing for her to go to her father. Slowly, she approached Carlo, her heart heavy with the weight of the situation. She had never been in a position to comfort anyone before, let alone her own father. This tragedy was partly due to her own past, and she felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.

With trembling hands, she placed one on her father's shoulder. Carlo turned his head towards her, his eyes red and filled with tears.

"Dad," Sofia whispered softly, kneeling beside him. The pain in his eyes was palpable, and her heart ached even more.

Carlo couldn't hold back his emotions any longer and hugged Sofia tightly, his tears soaking her shoulder.

"I am sorry, Sofia. Sorry that because of Emma, you have to suffer so much. I saw her end coming close when she kidnapped you. I will never forgive her for trying to harm you. But I can't help but feel pain and sorrow over her death," Carlo's words were filled with regret, remorse, and a sense of protectiveness toward his daughter.

"I know, Dad. I know. You don't need to explain yourself; just let the pain out of your body and heart with those tears." Sofia's voice was gentle as she rubbed Carlo's back, offering him comfort and understanding.

Leonardo, standing by Sofia's side, observed the scene with a mix of sympathy and admiration for Sofia's strength. He knew that she was bearing the weight of this tragedy, and he respected her for being there for her father despite the painful history between them.

Leonardo's men brought in a stretcher to carry Emma's lifeless body, a somber reminder of the loss they all now faced.

"Dad, we need to go," Sofia gently urged, hoping that he would agree. Carlo nodded, silently acknowledging her request.

At Leonardo's direction, Bella was summoned to bring a plain black dress for Sofia. Understanding the need for privacy and dignity, Leonardo took Sofia to a nearby hotel and booked a room for her to change out of her wedding gown before attending the funeral. Everyone was informed, and the news of Emma's demise had spread. When they arrived at Ricci's family graveyard, Kat was already there. She ran towards Carlo, tears streaming down her face, and embraced him tightly.
