Chapter 131

Retribution

Maria was anxious about what they would do without Alessandro and how they would explain it to the Italian Mafia that the Mafia king was dead. She didn’t want to leave behind her luxurious lifestyle and be forced to run their business herself, especially since her son was a useless idiot.

Maria’s voice hardened as she gritted out, “You’ve made a grave mistake, Enzo. Alessandro was the reason we thrived. Without him, we could lose everything. You don’t understand that,” she scolded. Alessandro was no threat to them, as he had stepped down from his inheritance and given up everything for Enzo to have and rule. She hated him, but she was selfish enough to let him live.

“That’s the reason, Madre,” Enzo grimaced. “That’s the exact reason I never liked him, Madre. You always compared me to him and wanted me to be better than him. Now, without him in the picture, there won’t be anyone to make me feel like a failure,” Enzo spat out bitterly.

At that moment, his wife, Vittoria, emerged from the hallway with their son, Lorenzo, holding his hand. She had overheard the last part of the conversation and understood well how her husband resented his stepbrother.

“Is that true?” Vittoria’s eyes gleamed with wicked pleasure.
