Chapter 147

Chapter 146
THIRD POV 

The night spits tension in the event place where the Morelli family and Evelyn stood. 

All eyes rested on Evelyn and Adrian as he kept holding her hand. 

"What the hell are you saying, Dolores?" Candela asked just to be fucking clear. 

"Are you deaf, Candela? You fucking heard me," Dolores said, making Mimi furrow her brows the more. 

She has no idea what is wrong with her mother. 

Why is she acting like this? 

The rest of the family stared at the scene as they thought of different things in their heads. 

Irina smirked as she watched. 

Candela is boiling in anger. 

Dante sipped his drink, enjoying the scene. 

Candela made an attempt to walk towards Adrian, but Dante held her back. 

She looked at him. 

He shook his head a bit as he sipped his drink again. 

Candela clenched her jaw as she looked back at Adrian and Evelyn. 

Manuel, Carlos and Lucas couldn't believe their ears and eyes. 

Especially Carlos. 

There were also a few guests around staring at the scene too. 

Mario stared at his dad, but Adrian's attention was on Evelyn. 

At this point, he doesn't care about anything but her. The tears in her eyes are affecting his heart.

She shouldn't be here. 

Alfredo said he didn't send her an invitation. 

He has no idea who did. 

"Dad," Mario called. 

Adrian didn't respond. 

"What is going on?" Mario asked. 

Still no response from Adrian as he stared at Evelyn. 

Evelyn's heart tightened as she held Adrian's gaze. 

She is supposed to be disturbed by the outcome. 

Dolores has just exposed their secret to everyone, but all she can think of is Adrian's betrayal. 

Adrian, on the other hand, has his focus on her, still holding her and trying to explain things to her. 

"Evie," Mario called, looking at Evelyn. 

Evelyn lowered her gaze as she withdrew her hand from Adrian's hold. 

She looked at him. 

He is looking at her with a lot of things in his gray eyes. 

The more she looks at him, the more her heart bleeds. 

She turned to leave, but Mario held her arm without looking at her, stopping her on her track. 

"Evelyn," Mario called as he moved his gaze to Adrian. 

Adrian's eyes are on Evelyn. 

"Is this true? Are you sleeping with my dad?" Mario asked without taking his eyes off Adrian. 

Evelyn didn't respond or look at Mario. 

She moved her hand to his hold on her arm. 

She pulled down his hand slowly as tears flowed down her eyes. 

"I am sorry," she almost whispered. 

Mario gritted his teeth as he stared at Adrian.

Evelyn took steps away from them. She walked past Mimi and was about to head for the entrance when Candela blocked her way instantly. 

Evelyn's heart dropped.

"Little bitch!" Candela yelled, giving Evelyn a hard backhand slap. 

Evelyn whimpered, looking away as she held her cheek. Candela proceeded, grabbing Evelyn's hair aggressively. 

"Poisonous snake! You were sleeping with my husband under my nose. How fucking dear you?!"

Evelyn let out screams as she struggled to get away from Candela's hold. 

"Aunt, stop!" Mimi yelled. 

"Candela!" Adrian yelled, making Mario angrier as he stared at his dad. 

Irina smirked. 

Dante moved towards Candela as she went on pouncing on Evelyn. 

"I am going to kill you!" Candela yelled, slapping Evelyn's face again. 

Evelyn wasn't going to ignore her this time. She slapped Candela's face hard, making Candela scream and they both gripped each other's hair. 

Hitting and pounding on each other. 

Next, Evelyn was grabbed away from Candela by Adrian and Dante grabbed Candela. 

"Ugh!!!!" Candela yelled angrily as she glared at Adrian and Evelyn. 

Evelyn's hair was messy, breathing hard as she stared at Candela. 

"You bastard! Adrian, you are a bastard!" Candela yelled. 

"Touch her again, and I will kill you," Adrian snarled, glaring at Candela. 

Mario let out a scoff of disbelief as he stared at Adrian who was holding Evelyn. 

"Let go of me!" Evelyn yelled, snatching her arm from Adrian's hold as she glared at him angrily. 

He stared at her softly. 

She pushed his chest angrily, making him fall back a bit. 

"Don't you ever touch me again!" She almost cried. 

His heart tightened as he stared at her. 

She breathed hard as she stared at him angrily. Her eyes moved to Mario. 

Mario's eyes are on her. 

Her eyes moved to Dolores. 

Dolores is looking at her. 

Evelyn's heart clenched as she recalled what Dolores said to Adrian.

She moved her gaze back to Adrian again.

He is looking at her. 

She averted her eyes from him, walking away and heading for the entrance. 

Everyone stared at her as she walked. 

Adrian's heart broke as he stared at her. 

Candela's blood boiled as she stared at Evelyn. 

Candela released herself from Dante's hold as Evelyn walked out of the place. 

Dante stared at Adrian as he rested his eyes on Evelyn. He walked closer to Candela and leaned closer to her ear. 

"Now is the time to take him down, Candela," he said. 

Candela clenched her knuckles as she looked at Adrian. 

His eyes were still in the direction Evelyn took. 

"How dare you humiliate me like this, Adrian?" Candela asked, walking towards Adrian and claiming his attention as Irina put down her glass and followed Evelyn out of the resort. 

"That little bitch is the reason you want a fucking divorce? Are you fucking insane?!" Candela yelled. 

Mario kept staring at Adrian. No doubt his blood is boiling like a volcano now, but he is trying to understand what just happened. 

He couldn't believe that the one man he had looked up to all his life did this to him. 

His own father is having an affair with the only girl that had driven him crazy. 

How can this fucking be?! 

"Get out of my face, Candela," Adrian snarled. 

Candela scoffed. "This is the end of the road for you. This is the end of Don Morelli!" She yelled, reaching for Dante's gun in his pocket and aiming it at Adrian. 

Everyone gasped as Carlos, Manuel and Lucas quickly took a step towards her, but Dante blocked them instantly, pointing another gun at them. 

They all stopped in their tracks. 

"Steady boys. Steady," Dante said, smirking at them. 

Mimi moved towards her mother and held her hand. 

Dolores moved Mimi behind her as she stared at the scene. 

Adrian rested his eyes on Candela.

She glared at him while still aiming the gun at him. 

His eye rested on the gun and then on Candela. 

"Say your last prayers, bastard," Candela said. 

"You won't dare," Adrian snarled. 

Next, the sound of a cocking gun took Adrian's attention to the side. He saw Mario pointing a gun at him angrily.

Everyone froze. 



MEANWHILE........

OUTSIDE THE RESORT......

Evelyn walked towards the road as she let out uncontrollable sobs. Her heart broke over and over again as Dolores' news repeated in her head. 

She rubbed her arms, taking in the cold as she looked around for a taxi, but the cars were just moving without stopping. 

She moved towards a corner, covering her face with her palms as she cried painfully. 

She thought all their times together. All be said to her at her place.

He claims to protect her, but he has been sleeping with not just his wife but his wife's sister. 

His wife's sister! 

She didn't see that coming. 

God, she can't believe this. 

She can't believe it is happening. 

She cried, feeling her heart shattering to painful pieces. 

Her phone rang in her purse, but she ignored it. 

She moved and began walking slowly along the road, still sobbing.

Next, a car drove close to her, but she didn't look in that direction as she continued walking. 

"Evelyn, sweetie," Irina's familiar voice called. 

Evelyn kept walking slowly. 

"Out here is dangerous for you. Come on in, I will give you a ride," Irina said. 

Evelyn didn't respond but kept walking. 

Irina stopped her car and got out of it. 

"Evelyn," Irina called, walking towards Evelyn. She placed her hand on Irina's shoulders, stopping her in her tracks. 

"Come on, dear. Please let me take you home," Irina said. 

"Leave me alone," Evelyn said, walking ahead. 

"I can't let you go by yourself. Adrian will be upset with me if I don't keep you safe." 

"I don't want anything from him. I don't want his stupid help. Tell him to go to hell!" Evelyn cried, making Irina blink her eyes as Evelyn kept walking. 

"Whoa, I wasn't expecting that. But hey," Irina said, following Evelyn behind. 

But Evelyn stopped in her track and rubbed her head, wincing a bit. 

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?" Irina asked, holding Evelyn. 

"My head," Evelyn said, wincing again. 

"Oh goodness, come, come with me please," Irina said, taking Evelyn back to her car. She helped Evelyn into the passenger seat before heading to the driver's seat and drove off. 



BACK IN THE RESORT....

Adrian's eyes softened as he stared at Mario. 

Mario held the gun tightly as he glared at Adrian. 

"Oh no, Mario," Mimi whispered. 

"Mario," Alfredo called, joining the scene for the first time. 

Candela chuckled. 

Dante looked at Mario and smirked. 

"Well, well, well, what do you know? The son has become the father's enemy. What an irony," Dante said, smirking. 

Adrian kept staring at Mario. 

"Give me one good reason why I should put bullets into your fucking fraudulent brain right now?" Mario snarled, glaring at Adrian.

Adrian didn't say a word but kept staring at Mario. 

"Mario, calm down and let's talk this out," Alfredo said. 

Candela moved her gun to Alfredo, making him freeze. 

"Shut the hell up, Alfredo. I will shoot you too if you piss me off. I fucking mean." Candela snarled. 

"Candela...." 

"I said shut up!" Candela yelled. 

"Listen to the lady, Doctor. You don't want to die on your birthday, do you?" Dante quipped, smirking. 

"Everyone shut up!" Mario yelled, claiming everyone's attention. 

"Shut the fuck up," Mario snarled, still glaring angrily at Adrian. 

"This fucker I call father. This fucker I made a role model. This fucker! How could you do this to me?!" Mario spat. 

Adrian kept staring at him. 

"Fucking speak to me, damn it!" Mario yelled. 

"There is no need for him to speak, Mario. He has nothing to say. He is not even denying it. He couldn't even get his eyes off her. Dolores was right," Candela said, making Dolores gulp. 

"He fucked that snake," Candela said, adding to Mario's rage. 

"He fucked the girl you were crazy about. The girl you disrespected me multiple times for. The fucking slut you were busy caring for. The slut you gave the entire world, Mario. She never cared about you. All she wanted was to fuck your father," Candela said, scoffing. 

Mario's blood boiled as he recalled those times at the mansion. Those times he would talk to his father about his relationship with Evelyn.

God, he was such a fool. 

A big blind fool! 

"He doesn't deserve to be your father. This bastard is worse than an infidel. Shoot his brains out!" Candela yelled. 

"Mario," Alfredo called, but Candela cocked her gun at him. 

"I am waiting for you to say something to me, Adrian," Mario called Adrian by his name for the first time ever. 

Adrian kept staring at him, void of what to say. 

"Tell me why you did this!" Mario yelled.

"They are here, Candela," Dante said. 

"Bring them in," Candela said, smirking as Adrian looked at her. 

"Come on in," Dante said to the person over his phone. 

Next, Luciano walked with his men dressed in black suits and holding guns, claiming everyone's attention. 

Carlos and the boys shared a look. Mimi and Dolores stood dumbfounded. 

Candela and Dante smirked. 

"What a party, Don Morelli," Luciano said, smirking as he approached. 

Adrian looked at him. 

Luciano's men stood around the place with their guns. 

"What is he doing here, mum?" Mario asked without taking his gun away from Adrian.

"He is here to take down your worthless father," Candela said, smirking at Adrian, who looked at her. 

"That's right, nephew." Dante spoke up, attracting Adrian's eyes. 

"You can join us, and we will teach him a lesson," Dante said, smirking at Adrian. 

"What do you say, son? Join us and let's finish him," Candela said. 

Mario looked at Candela and then at Dante, who smirked again.

"Don't do this, Mario," Alfredo said. 

"One more word from you, Alfredo, and you will be treating patients in the land of the dead," Candela threatened. 

Alfredo glared at her. 

Mario looked at his dad. 

Adrian looked at him. 

"Come on, Mario," Candela said. 

"Don't listen to her," Adrian said calmly. 

Mario scoffed. "Now you can speak?" 

Adrian stared at him. 

"How pathetic," Mario snarled. 

"Pathetic indeed, son. Pathetic and fucking worthless," Candela said, glaring at Adrian. 

"I will join you on one condition," Mario said. 

"Name it," Mario urged. 

Mario looked at her. "Send that fucker back," he said, gesturing at Luciano, whose face twitched. 

So did Candela's and Dante's. 

Mario returned his gaze at Adrian. 

"I want to handle this fucker my own way in the cold room back at home," Mario snarled, glaring at Adrian. 

Candela smirked.
