Married to Mafia Boss novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Alia Pov

I suddenly couldn’t understand what all my years of endurance and suffering had been for. I once thought that by escaping those heartless family members, I could live in peace, But now?

Gabriel’s relentless pursuit, Maria’s secret schemes–they were like demons from the depths of hell, slowly devouring my happiness piece by piece.

How could they?

At that moment, Camila walked to my side and whispered triumphantly, “Alia, I told you, no matter what the cost, I wouldn’t let you off easy.”

How pleased Camila looked, her satisfaction wounding my eyes.

Maria and Gabriel could hurt me because I once loved them, once cared about them.

But you? Camila, who are you to do this?

I snorted coldly and slapped her across the face. “Camila, who do you think you are!”

1 put considerable force into that slap, leaving five red finger marks on Camila’s face.

Camila clutched her stinging cheek, glaring at me venomously. “You bitch, you dare to hit me?”

As soon as Camila opened her mouth, I slapped her again. Sometimes when people won’t listen to words, direct action is more effective.

“You fucking hit me…”

After receiving two slaps, Camila wasn’t one to back down. She lunged at me, grabbing my hair and yanking hard.

The pain made me grit my teeth, but I suppressed any sound of discomfort.”

Assessing the situation, I noted that Camila was shorter than me, though her heels were higher. I could use this to my advantage.

I might look slender, but years of doing everything myself had given me considerable strength.

As our struggle brought us to the edge of the stage, I pushed hard. Camila wobbled for a moment, lost her balance, and tumbled off the stage.

But before she fell, she grabbed my arm, pulling me down with her.

Fortunately, the entire multipurpose hall was carpeted, so neither of us was badly hurt.

Camila scrambled to her feet and shouted, “There are many married women here, right? Surely some of you have husbands who’ve cheated. Don’t you hate homewreckers like her? She seduced her future brother–in–law before, now she’s seducing Mr. Vittorio, and in the future, she might seduce your husbands

too.”

Camila knew she couldn’t handle me alone, so she needed to incite public anger, to get others to join against me.

Having previously worked in public relations, Camila was eloquent. With Berti fanning the flames beside her, adding provocative comments, some people were indeed stirred up.

Someone stood up, incited: “Shameless! Get out of here, homewrecker!”

“Homewrecker, get far away from here!”

Seducing her sister’s fiancé, seducing a married man…

Various insults rose and fell, reaching my ears and piercing my heart.

Chapter 99

I had twisted my ankle when I fell. It took several attempts before I could stand up.

It was my left foot that was injured, so once standing, I had to put all my weight on my right foot.

The scene felt like a return to three years ago…

Once again, I could only watch as people hurled abuse, powerless to do anything.

I watched and listened until gradually everything blurred before my eyes.

“What’s all this commotion about?”

At the sound of a deep, cutting voice, everyone immediately turned to see Marco approaching with Giulio and Luca.

Hearing Marco’s voice, I quickly straightened my hair, stood tall with my head held high. No matter how he looked at me, I wouldn’t lose face in front of him.

Camila and Berti exchanged glances, their lips curving upward involuntarily.

Marco had arrived–now the real show would begin. Camila was already relishing the thought of me being abandoned and despised by Marco.

Marco still wore his silver–gray tailored suit, his expression calm, his steps as elegant as ever.

As he walked, people instinctively made way, all eyes following his movement.

But his gaze was fixed solely on me, standing at the eye of the storm. He saw my clenched fists, my pale lips, my forced smile, my pretense of indifference.

I was smiling, yet Marco felt I was crying. He wanted to personally wipe away the tears hidden in my heart.

I was looking at him too–no, I wasn’t really looking at him. My gaze was directed toward where he came from, but it was unfocused; he wasn’t truly in my sight.

I dared not look at him, fearing I would see contempt in his eyes, dreading hearing hurtful words…

Yes, I was afraid, so I dared not look at Marco.

I knew Marco was getting closer and closer….

Finally, he came to my side, stood next to me, and gently called my name as he always did: “Alia.”

“Mm.” I responded softly as I always did when he called me, but I still couldn’t bring myself to look at him.

“You have me. His calloused palm gently caressed my cheek, and he placed a kiss on my forehead, saying in a deep yet tender voice, “Alia, look at me.”

In that moment, all surrounding sounds disappeared. Everyone’s eyes were fixed intently on the two of us.

What was happening?

“Mr. Vittorio, look at the screen, look at what she’s done in the past. Then you’ll know what kind of woman she really is.”

Seeing that. Marco showed no disgust toward me but rather looked at me with such tenderness, Camila momentarily forgot her place and shouted out again.

Marco turned slightly, looking at the speaker. His seemingly calm gaze flashed with bone–chilling coldness: “Giulio.”

Just being looked at by him made Camila step back in fear, not daring to say another word.

Giulio immediately stepped forward: “Mr. Vittorio, I will definitely have someone investigate today’s incident thoroughly. How could these petty individuals be allowed to slander your wife’s reputation?”

Chapter 99

Wife?

Everyone heard the key word in Giulio’s statement: “wife.”

Could it be that his wife was…?

Everyone stared wide–eyed at the scene before them, seeking confirmation. Was Alia actually Mr. Vittorio’s wife?

I pressed my lips together and finally brought my gaze to Marco’s face, looking at him quietly. Though I wanted to show him a smile, tears betrayed me and streamed down my face.

Seeing my tears, Marco’s heart tightened. He lowered his head to kiss my tears away, but the more he kissed, the more they flowed, only stopping after a Jong while.
