Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 192 The Ultimate Punishment eFinished

Mia sat silently in the car, watching the chaos unfold before her. Her heart sank with fear, but she trusted her husband. She knew Alessandro was deeply concerned for her and their children's safety, and that he would protect their family at any cost. That was why she didn't argue when he insisted she stay behind.

She could see how anxious he was and didn't want to add to his worry by insisting on going with him to search for their children.

The bodyguards arrived in the cars behind them, and one stayed by Mia's side while the others rushed after Alessandro. Despite their efforts, Alessandro moved so quickly without waiting for them that the guards struggled to keep up. One of them hurried into the restaurant, trying to locate Alessandro amidst the chaotic scene inside.

Every moment felt unbearable for Mia as her eyes stayed glued to the restaurant's exit. With every figure emerging, she hoped it would be Alessandro carrying their children, safe and sound. Finally, she exhaled-a breath of relief when she spotted Alessandro stepping out of the building. But her heart dropped when she realized Gia and Maximo weren't with him. Unable to hold back, she yanked open the car door and hurried toward her husband. Alessandro's somber expression hardened as he saw his wife approach, quickly masking the turmoil churning inside him.

"Where are our kids?" Mia demanded, her voice trembling with rage as her eyes stayed glued to the restaurant's exit, still hoping that Gia and Maximo would walk out any second.

"Get back in the car, Mia," Alessandro replied in a clipped tone, barely containing his own frustration.

"No! First, tell me where our kids are!" she shot back, defiantly standing her ground. "You said you'd get them safely." Her pained eyes locked onto Alessandro's, full of accusations and heartbreak.

"Amore mio," Alessandro's tone softened as he gently took her hand, trying to lead her back to the car despite her resistance. "Our kids are safe, and I promise you I'll bring them to you very soon," he assured her, his words filled with determination.

Mia looked at Alessandro as her face was covered with a mix of confusion and shock. "What's going on, Alessandro?" she asked, her eyes locked on him as she followed closely behind while he led her toward the

car.

Alessandro halted and turned to face her, letting out a deep sigh. "I'll tell you everything." he promised, his voice tense. "But first, I need to drop you home so I can focus on what I need to do."

"No," Mia shook her head, her tone resolute. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying with you. Tell me what you're hiding from me."

Alessandro averted his eyes, trying to dodge the question and the piercing look in Mia's glistening gaze.

"Don't you dare avoid me again," she snapped fiercely. "I know you've been stressed since we got to Florence. Now, tell me what's going on." She pulled her hand from his grasp and crossed her arms over her chest, standing her ground. It was about her children and husband and she had to know.

Alessandro took her hand again, pleading with his eyes. "Alright, but first, get inside the car. I'll tell you everything on the way home." When he noticed Mia was still unmoved, he added in a sharper tone, don't have time, Aria. I need to act quickly to save our children." Mia's defenses softened at the mention of their kids. "Let me come with you," she implored, her eyes filled

Alessandro shook his head firmly. "No, amore mio. I need you safe. Please stay at home, and I promise I'll bring our children to you. Believe me."

Mia stepped closer and cupped Alessandro's large face in her small hands.

"I believe you, hubby," she smiled weakly, but that simple gesture filled Alessandro with renewed determination and courage. He had never felt so helpless in his life, but now, he knew exactly what he had to do.

As Alessandro made sure Aria was securely seated inside the car, he took the driver's seat himself, ignoring his bodyguards" insistence to accompany them. He needed privacy-time to tell Aria everything about the decisions that had led to the chaos in the lives.

As the car began speeding down the road, Mia anxiously waited for him to start talking. Feeling her gaze on him, Alessandro glanced at her swiftly before letting out a deep sigh and fixing his eyes on the road ahead.

-You

might have an idea that I'm connected to the Italian mafia, but you don't know that I used to run the mafia of all of West Italy," he started.

"You mean you're the head?" she gasped, her voice barely above a whisper.

The mafia king, the capo Alessandro nodded solemnly. Mia stared at him in shock, processing the weight

of his words.

"When I found you again, I realized I had to leave my dark world behind to give my family a life free from danger. But the Center-the council of older members-intervenes in every decision and ensures there's no rebellion. They were unhappy with my choice because this is a one-way road. Once a person enters the dark world, there is no return. So the Center didn't want me to leave just like that. They took our children to use them as leverage against me."

Alessandro gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening with barely contained fury. The moment he received the call, he knew it was the Center. They were behind it. They had kidnapped his children.

"So what do they want?" Mia asked, frustration lacing her tone. It angered her that her husband was being forced into something he didn't want.

"They want me to surrender and face punishment for rebellion," Alessandro replied, his voice low and heavy. The next second his eyes hardened and his knuckles turned white, tightening around the steering wheel as he uttered the words. "And the ultimate punishment is death."

Mia's eyes widened in horror, and her heart felt as if it had stopped.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
