The Mafia Boss Who Buried Me Alive Chapter 08
Sofia’s lips trembled violently as her tears flowed faster. She reached out, trying to grab Luca’sÂ
sleeve. “Luca, it’s not like that. Please let meÂ
explain…”Â
Luca took a step back, easily evading her touch.Â
“I am so disappointed in you.” His voice sounded hollow, as if echoing from a great distance- exhausted, drained, and completely done. “This wedding… is off.”Â
Sofia’s face drained of color before turning a flushed, angry red. She clutched her stomach, her voice cracking as she shrieked, “Off? I am carrying your baby! How can you treat me like this? Luca, do you have a single shred of conscience?”Â
My mother quickly rushed forward, grabbing Luca’s arm. Her voice was hushed but desperate, her lips shaking with panic. “Luca, please calm down. Let’s just finish the ceremony first. Don’t make us a laughingstock in front of everyone.”Â
“You and Sofia have been together for so many years. There’s no need to throw around reckless words over a petty argument. You’ll regret this later!”Â
My father hurried over as well, trying to look sternÂ
but failing to hide the desperation in his tone.Â
“Exactly, Luca. Whatever it is, we can talk about itÂ
at home. Look at all the relatives and friendsÂ
watching us today…”Â
Luca took a deep breath, shaking his head. HisÂ
voice was quiet but absolute. “I won’t regret it.”Â
Sofia’s crying escalated into full–blown wailing.Â
She collapsed against the couch, sobbing so hardÂ
she could barely catch her breath.Â
Leo, who had been standing tentatively by my sideÂ
watching the chaos, suddenly wrenched his hand.Â
from mine and ran over to her. He threw his tinyÂ
arms around Sofia’s legs, looking up at her withÂ
tearful eyes. “Aunt Sofia, don’t cry! Leo loves you!Â
Leo will protect you!”Â
Sofia looked down at Leo, her eyes filled withÂ
absolute venom and madness. She violentlyÂ
shoved him away, screaming at the top of herÂ
lungs, “This is all your fault! Everything is ruinedÂ
because of your big mouth!”Â
The force of her shove sent Leo flying backward.Â
The back of his head slammed hard against theÂ
sharp metal armrest of the couch.Â
A sickening thud echoed through the room.Â
Blood immediately began to pool.Â
“Leo!”Â
I lost my mind. Shoving my way through, I gathered him into my arms. A deep gash had opened on the back of his head, crimson blood soaking through his hair. His face was deathly pale, his eyes tightly shut, his lips twitchingÂ
weakly.Â
“Leo, look at Mom, look at Mom…” My voice cracked, my hands shaking uncontrollably as IÂ
held him tight against my chest and bolted for theÂ
exit.Â
Behind me, Luca’s voice rang out, cold as ice.Â
“Sofia, we are completely done.”Â
The sound of his heavy footsteps hurried afterÂ
- me.Â
Behind him, Sofia screamed in absoluteÂ
desperation, “Luca! If you dare walk out with those two today, I will kill myself! I’ll take your baby toÂ
the grave with me!”Â
The footsteps behind me abruptly stopped.Â
I didn’t look back.Â
Leo’s blood dripped onto my dress, mixing with the stale red wine stains. I could no longer tell what was wine and what was blood. I just held him as tight as I could and ran toward the hospital with everything I had.Â
While Leo was getting stitches, I stood outside the ER, my entire body shivering. My hands andÂ
clothes were covered in his blood. Staring at theÂ
stains, my mind kept replaying that awful thudÂ
over and over again.Â
Four stitches.Â
The doctor said we brought him in just in time, so there was no permanent damage, but we needed to monitor him closely for any signs of aÂ
concussion.
