Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband
Chapter 115 The Contract #Finished
Alessandro was working in his office when the commotion outside made him frown with frustration. He was furious at whoever was ruining his already foul mood, and he didn't have to wait long to find out who it was. Vanessa barged into his office, with his secretary trailing behind her, still trying to convince her not to disturb him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Valentino. Miss Vanessa wouldn't stop," the secretary mumbled, her voice filled with helplessness and apology.
Alessandro nodded dismissively and beckoned her to leave them alone.
"What is it, Vanessa? You know I don't like interruptions while n working," he growled, glaring at her.
"I know, honey, but I was missing you so much I couldn't stop myself from coming," she murmured sensually, walking seductively toward his desk. She sat on the edge, arching her back, her eyes half-lidded as she gazed at him.
"Get the hell off my desk," Alessandro scolded, his tone icy. His words made her shiver, and she quickly slid off, standing nervously by. "Now tell me why you're here. I don't have time for your nonsense," he grimaced.
Alessandro, why are you avoiding me? I'm your fiancée," she began, her voice breaking as tears welled up. her lips trembling. "How can you do this to me?"
"The engagement is off, Vanessa. When will you get that through your thick, pitiful skull?" Alessandro growled, barely glancing up from the papers he had been reading before she barged in.
"Engagement is off?!" she gasped. "Alessandro, I will die without you. I love you. Don't leave me, please!" she pleaded, her voice thick with desperation, though inside she was fuming that her theatrics weren't working on the Italian don.
"Stop wasting my time and get out," he waved his hand coldly, his expression unreadable. "And don't ever show your face to me again," he added sharply, making Vanessa's jaw drop in shock.
"Is this... is this because of that bitch, Mia Peterson?" she stammered, her voice trembling as rage overtook her. "No matter how hard she tries, she can never be your late wife, Alessandro. Open your eyes and see her lies-she's after your wealth!" she shouted, her anger spilling out.
"Don't shout," Alessandro warned, his voice dangerously low, his eyes narrowing with fury. "And don't you dare speak ill of her, or the consequences will be worse than you can imagine," he thundered, his threat sending a wave of fear through Vanessa, causing her to stumble back.
He hadn't seen Mia since that day, but he knew he had to keep his distance-for her own safety. Yet, the decision was tearing him apart inside, each passing moment without her feeling like a wound that wouldn't heal
"Alessandro, she doesn't love you, but I do. You're making the same mistake by not choosing me," Vanessa mumbled, her eyes filling with tears. "Please, remember how much you used to love me." "That was in the past, Vanessa. It's history. I don't love you anymore, Alessandro grumbled, his irritation evident in the hard set of his jaw and the coldness in his eyes. "Now leave!" he ordered authoritatively.
But Vanessa stood there stubbornly, her teary eyes locked on him.

Just wait and watch, Mia Peterson. I'll make your life a living hell," she muttered to herself as she pulled, out her phone from her purse, quickly typing a message before sending it to Mia's number. Claire stood before Adam's mansion, taking a deep breath as her heart pounded with nervousness. Though she had been here countless times for work, today felt different. The air felt heavier, and butterflies swirled in her stomach as she crossed the threshold. Trying to steady herself, she took another deep breath and made her way toward the large room Adam had transformed into his study. Each step seemed to echo her rising anxiety, knowing that today wasn't like any other. Knocking on the door, she entered without waiting for a response, a habit she had formed over time. Usually, she would find him engrossed in reading scripts or working on something related to his scenes, and she would quietly sit in a corner with her laptop, waiting until he was free.
Today, however, was different. As she stepped inside, she saw Adam pacing the room, a deep furrow adorned his face and his hands clasped behind his back. He stopped abruptly when he noticed her.
A smirk spread across his face as he walked closer. "Claire," he said, his voice smooth and confident, "So what have you decided?"
Her nerves flared, but she maintained her composure. I accept your proposal," she replied, meeting his gaze with determination.
"So it's a yes?!" he asked, cocking his head and raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," Claire breathed out.
"Good decision, Claire. I've already called my lawyer and drafted the contract in advance. He picked up a folder and handed it to her. "Read it carefully and let me know if you want to add anything else," he said. curtly.
Claire took the folder and opened it to find several pages detailing the contract. As she started reading, she noticed many conditions that were also in her favor. She had expected to negotiate certain terms, but Adam had already included them, such as the intimacy clause. They wouldn't sleep in the same room or be intimate during the contract period; otherwise, it would be considered a breach, and the responsible party would have to pay ten million as compensation.
She looked up at Adam, who was watching her intently, waiting for her response. She continued reading further. Another clause stated that, in front of Adam's family and friends and whenever in public, they had
be intimate-holding hands, hugging, and kissing-to maintain the appearance of a real married couple.
Other clauses related to living conditions specified that after the marriage, she had to move in with him immediately. However, she had to respect his privacy, living as strangers in the same house,

his brows with concern. Claire stopped in her tracks as Adam walked closer. His expression was intense, his gaze locked onto her with a fierce intensity. "Nothing!" Claire licked her lips nervously and tried to look down, hiding her face from his gaze.
But Adam gently grabbed her chin and lifted her face, inspecting her swollen check. He touched it, and Claire winced in slight pain. Adam slowly rubbed his fingers, removing some of the makeup from her soft cheek. Claire swallowed hard as tingles erupted where he touched. She focused on her breathing, trying not to appear affected by the movie star's proximity.
Adam's eyes burned with anger as he realized she had been hit.
"Who did this to you?" he growled, making Claire flinch.
She had never seen him so angry before. She was surprised her boyfriend hadn't noticed her swollen check when she was sitting so close to him, but Adam had noticed it even from a distance.
"I told you it's nothing." Claire said, trying to sound casual. "I collided with a wall in the darkness. That's it."
Adam's eyes narrowed, not entirely convinced by her explanation. There was something about her reason that didn't add up, but he chose to respect her reluctance to share more. He released her face and Claire took a step back instantly, creating some distance between them. She felt a wave of relief as she wa

"Should I leave?" Claire asked, lowering her head and avoiding his gaze.
"Hmm." Adam nodded, his gaze fixed on her with intensity. He watched with a frown as she hurriedly exited his study, moving like a frightened kitten.
