Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro)

Chapter 131 Retribution

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."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"You... you're alive?!" Enzo stammered, his voice filled with disbelief as he stared at Alessandro in a daze,

"Did you expect me to be dead, brother?" He stressed the word 'brother' with a disdainful tone. Enzo swallowed hard, unable to form another word under Alessandro's piercing gaze.

"No, it should be your enemies who are dead, my son," Maria interjected, trying to save the situation and protect her son. "I pray day and night for your safety."

"Really, Mother?" Alessandro's voice carried a taunt that made Maria's heart sink with fear.

She knew Alessandro was merciless, but she trusted her ability to manipulate him. She pressed on, "Yes, Alessandro. But we didn't expect you to arrive suddenly at this late hour, which is why we were a bit surprised."

"Do I need anyone's permission to come to my own home?" Alessandro scowled, his anger fully reflected in his eyes.

"No, I mean..." Maria began, trying to distract Alessandro to give Enzo a chance to escape, but Alessandro ignored her and stalked toward Enzo with menacing intent.

"So, stepbrother, why are you so afraid to see me?" Alessandro asked, his voice laced with a challenging tone, daring Enzo to confess his crime. Enzo's whole being trembled with fear. He looked around and saw that Alessandro's men had surrounded him and the entire mansion. There was no escape.

"Alessandro, I'm not afraid of you. I'm happy that you're alive, brother," Enzo declared, though Maria could see that her foolish son was sealing his fate to die miserably by the hand of the Mafia king.

"What's going on? Someone, please tell me," Maria demanded, stepping between Alessandro and Enzo, trying to diffuse the tension. But Alessandro ignored her, stepping past her to stand face-to-face with Enzo.

"Your henchman is dead, the one you sent to kill me. Now it's my turn to kill you, and I don't need henchmen for this small task," Alessandro declared, his voice cold and menacing as he glared at the man who had betrayed him. Enzo's eyes widened in shock, his heart pounding in his chest as the fear of death took hold of him.

"What are you saying, Alessandro?" Maria demanded, her voice rising in panic.

"That your son tried to kill me, mother. Now, what should I do to him?" Alessandro drawled dangerously, pulling out his revolver.

"No, that can't be true. Enzo would never harm his brother," Maria murmured with an expression of disbelief on her face. She was desperately pretending it wasn't true, hoping Alessandro would believer

act.

"I have his confession and a recording of the phone call where your son gave the order," Alessandro announced, turning to Maria with cold, indifferent eyes. He had once considered them his family, but they had tried to kill first his pregnant wife and then him.

"Not only did he try to kill me, but he also attempted to kill Aria while she was pregnant," Alessandro growled, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. "He tried to kill my wife, and I won't forgive that bastard for this. He will suffer a death worse than anyone could imagine," Alessandro declared menacingly. his voice dripping with hatred.

Maria's heart sank. He knew everything. There was nothing she could do to save Enzo now.

"If that's true, he should suffer for his crime. This isn't just a crime; it is a sin, and I'll punish him for his

sins myself." Maria declared, her voice icy as she took the revolver from Alessandro's hand.

Before Enzo could comprehend what was happening, a bullet pierced his heart, and he collapsed to the floor, dead in an instant.
