The Mafia Boss Who Buried Me Alive Chapter 05

The cold red wine seeped down my neck, making me shiver violently. 

The entire banquet hall fell dead silent. My mother 

and father stood frozen on the spot, their mouths open as if someone had choked them. 

Luca was the first to snap out of it. His brows knitted into a tight knot as he looked down at the boy and scolded, “Leo! What nonsense are you talking? How can you be so rude?” 

The little boy tilted his head up, his face full of innocence, his voice loud and clear. “Daddy, I’m not talking nonsense! Aunt Sofia showed me this bad woman’s photo. She told me this lady is a whore who only knows how to use dirty tricks to steal 

you away!” 

He paused, puffing out his cheeks as he added righteously, “Hmph! I was just helping Aunt Sofia fight the bad guy! You’re mean for scolding me, 

Daddy!” 

With that, his mouth puckered, and he burst into 

loud wails. 

My body shook uncontrollably. I knelt down, trying to reach for his hand. “Leo, I’m your mother… I’m 

not a bad person…” 

The boy violently slapped my hand away, taking two steps back. Tears still hung on his face, but his voice was piercingly sharp. “I don’t have a mother like you! Go away! I don’t want to see you!” 

My hand hung uselessly in the air. A crushing pain. in my chest made it impossible to breathe. 

By now, the guests had finally processed what was happening, and the room erupted into hushed. 

whispers. 

“What… what is going on here?” 

Someone lowered their voice, but the hall was so 

quiet that every single word carried perfectly. 

“Why would that little boy call the oldest daughter. 

a whore?” 

“Isn’t it obvious? An adult must have taught him. 

How else would a kid even know what that word 

means?” 

“Wait, don’t you think something is weird?” 

“I heard earlier that this boy was born to the 

younger daughter and her boyfriend. They only got their marriage certificate back then and didn’t 

have a ceremony, which is why they’re having this 

wedding today… So why is the kid calling the bride 

‘Aunt Sofia‘ and the groom ‘Daddy‘?” 

“This family dynamic is messed up…” 

The gossip spread like wildfire. More and more 

people leaned in to whisper, their eyes darting back and forth between Luca, Sofia, and me. 

My mother’s face turned completely white. She 

waved her hands frantically. “Everyone, please don’t misunderstand! The child is just talking 

nonsense! He doesn’t know any better…” 

Before she could finish, the boy abruptly stopped 

crying. He wiped his tears, turned around, and 

pointed at my mother, then at Sofia, his voice 

ringing out even louder than before. 

“I am not talking nonsense! And I didn’t get it 

wrong!” 

He turned his head, looking earnestly at Sofia. 

“Aunt Sofia, tell them! Am I right?” 

The air in the banquet hall felt completely sucked 

dry. Every single eye locked onto Sofia’s face. 

Staring into Leo’s wide, demanding eyes, Sofia 

froze. Her lips trembled for a long moment before 

she managed to force out a weak response. 

“Leo, stop talking nonsense… Be a good boy and go play over there, okay?” 

Her voice was entirely hollow, her smile frozen like a popped balloon that could no longer hold its shape. 

Hearing this, Leo’s face immediately fell. He threw a full tantrum, stomping his feet and pounding his fists against Sofia’s legs. “No! No! Aunt Sofia, I was clearly trying to help you and the baby brother in your tummy!” 

“I wanted to help you drive this bad woman away. Why aren’t you sticking up for me? Everything I said is true!” 

As he wailed, he threw up his arm and angrily tapped on his smartwatch. 

Sofia’s voice blasted through the speaker, echoing 

sharply across the silent banquet hall.
