Chapter 171

Mia’s fingers trembled, and the letter was about to slip from her hand as she continued reading. Her heart sank, and her mouth went dry. She swallowed hard, her eyes memorizing every word. She was so shocked by the revelation and truth-the letter was from Teresa her last words before she fled her marital home. She had written it for her son, hoping that one day he would find it and learn the truth.

The truth was harsh and cruel, something that could change everything. For a moment, Mia’s resolve wavered, but she knew Alessandro needed to know. He needed to stop hating his mother, for she was nothing like she had been portrayed.

With determination, Mia folded the letter and clenched it in her fist as she set out to find her husband. He wasn’t home yet, so she dialed his number.

“Missing me already?” Alessandro’s teasing voice came through the phone as the call connected.

But her mind was too preoccupied to entertain his flirting. “Alessandro, when are you coming home?” she asked, urgency lacing her voice.

He quickly picked up on her tone and became serious. I’ll be home soon, amore mio, but what’s wrong? You sound anxious.” Thave something urgent to tell you, but not over the phone. I’ll talk to you when you’re home,” Mia replied in a hushed voice. “Alright, I’ll be home soon, la mia regina,” Alessandro said firmly before hanging up, determined to finish his work faster.
