Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband
Chapter 195 Cold-hearted Devil Finished
Salvatore's face drained of color, his once unshakable confidence now faltering under Alessandro's pointed accusation. The room grew tense as Alessandro's words echoed through the silence, all eyes locking on Salvatore.
"What's this about, Salvatore?" Luigi demanded, his voice sharp and filled with suspicion. "Are you hiding something from the Center?" Salvatore's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he shot a hateful glare at Alessandro. But his silence was louder than any denial.
"Go on, tell them," Alessandro taunted, lowering his gun with a calm, almost mocking case. His relaxed posture made it clear he was in control, savoring the moment like a predator toying with its prey. "Why don't you tell them about your dealings with the Marino gang?" Salvatore flinched at the mention of the Marino gang, his reaction betraying him. The room was now filled with palpable shock. Though he tried to keep his defenses up, the cracks were showing.
"Don't listen to him." Salvatore snapped, his voice desperate as he tried to recover. "He's just trying to turn you all against me. It's a lie!"t
But his words lacked conviction, and everyone could see it.
Luigi and Giuseppe exchanged a glance of confusion before Luigi, his voice now tense, asked, "Salvatore, are you really in cahoots with the Marino gang against Don Alessandro?"
"What? No!" Salvatore denied blatantly, but his tone was shaky.
"Tell us the truth." Giuseppe warned sternly, "because if our investigation finds you involved in the kidnapping of Don Alessandro's children, you'll be stripped of your position and executed by the Center,
Salvatore's face betrayed him-he knew he had been caught. In a foolish last-ditch effort, he abruptly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Luigi's head, who sat beside him. "Clear the way and let me go, or Luigi dies," he barked, his desperation clear.Nôvel(D)daisynovel.com's content.
The guards immediately aimed their guns at Salvatore, but no one dared to fire. Alessandro sighed, visibly exhausted by the old man's foolishness. With a swift motion, Alessandro's hand moved, and in an instant, a shot rang out. The bullet hit Salvatore's hand, forcing him to drop the gun as he cried out in pain.
But no one had time to react as a second bullet from Alessandro's gun pierced Salvatore's head.
"Bastard traitor," Alessandro spat with disgust.
Everyone in the room stood frozen in shock. Salvatore had been a longstanding member of the Center, making his betrayal even more unsettling.
"How did you find out about his betrayal?" Luigi asked Alessandro, still trying to process what had just unfolded.
"I had my suspicions," Alessandro began, his voice cold and authoritative. "But when my children were kidnapped, and I got that call, it confirmed everything I conducted an investigation and gathered proof to be certain."

"And what about your decision to leave the mafia?" Giuseppe asked, his tone filled with skepticism.

"I've changed my mind," Alessandro replied with a shrug, causing every face in the room to brighten with joy and relief.
"Good decision, Alessandro. We need a leader like you Luigi cheered.
"Yeah?! That's why you were planning to get rid of me?" Alessandro scoffed with disdain.
He knew the underworld was filled with people he couldn't trust, except for a select few close to him. Everyone else was driven by greed, willing to betray anyone for their own gain. But despite that, they all knew Alessandro was a wise and capable leader, one who had instilled a sense of morals in their illegal business. That set him apart from the rest and made him a popular, favored leader-the only real. candidate for the position of the Supremo.
"That's
's not true, Capo. We were only trying to maintain harmony and enforce the rules set by the Center, We had no personal grudge against you. Please try to understand, Luigi explained sincerely, his tone pleading for reason.
"By the way, where are your children?" Luigi asked again, concern evident in his voice.
"They're safe, Lucas replied, making Alessandro smirk as he glanced proudly at his right-hand man,
Lucas had rescued the kids after Alessio informed him about the kidnapping before he died. Lucas intercepted the kidnappers, killed them all, and kept the children hidden at his safe house until Alessandro's plan was executed.
"Thank God," Luigi and Giuseppe sighed in unison, knowing Alessandro would have lost his mind if anything had happened to his kids. They both understood that no matter their non-involvement, they wouldn't have survived the wrath of the Italian don.
Alessandro turned to Lucas and whispered, "Look after Alessio's family. Make sure they have everything they need. If they ever require assistance-financial or otherwise-tell them to come to me. I owe Alessio for his unwavering loyalty, and I will ensure his family is taken care of for as long as they need it. Alessio was the bravest man I had, and I'll do everything in my power to keep his family safe and secure."
"Yes, boss," Lucas replied promptly.
To the world, Alessandro might appear as a cold-hearted devil, but Lucas knew that this devil had a heart reserved only for his closest allies. "Now that everything is settled here, can I leave if I'm no longer needed?" Alessandro asked. The two heads of the Center nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Don Alessandro. We'll handle the rest and deal with the Marino gang for their nefarious act," Luigi assured him.
With one last disdainful glance at Salvatore's lifeless body, Alessandro left the room, Lucas trailing closely behind.
"We're so glad you're back, boss," Lucas muttered, struggling to contain his emotions. Alessandro recognized the depth of his loyal man's feelings reflected in his eyes.
"I'm glad to be back too, Lucas," Alessandro replied softly, giving Lucas a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Lucas felt a surge of happiness as Alessandro showed this rare softer side. Bowing his head, he opened the car door for his capo.
"I've sent the kids home, and they're safe," he informed him.
"Thank you, Lucas. I know I can always count on you," Alessandro expressed his admiration for his most. trusted ally.
"Always, boss," Lucas replied firmly as he closed the door and took a seat beside the driver.
Alessandro felt a rush of excitement as the car sped along the road. His heart soared at the thought of being back home, eager to reunite with his family. It felt like a miracle that everything had fallen into place, all thanks to his Aria-his woman who he loved more than anything, even his own life.
As the car navigated through traffic, leaving the buildings and shops behind, Alessandro caught a glimpse of Vittoria and Vanessa together. While it wasn't unusual for them to be seen in each other's company, a sense of unease stirred within him. Could his instincts be wrong this time?
