Chapter 191
“What’s wrong?” Mia asked as her voice brimmed with worry. She couldn’t understand what had made Alessandro’s expression shift to pure terror. She had never seen him panic before-not in any worse situation. Her heart sank with fear even before Alessandro responded.

“Get in the car, Mia,” he ordered sharply, opening the door for her. Without argument, Mia slipped inside, sensing the urgency in his tone. Alessandro quickly rounded the car and slid into the driver’s seat, starting the engine with swift precision. “Which restaurant are the kids at?” he asked urgently, his eyes fixed on the road.

“Alessio told me he took them to La Piazza, Mia answered, still confused and anxious.

“Call him. Check on the kids,” Alessandro instructed, his voice tight with concern.

Mia nodded and quickly dialed Alessio’s number. But when he didn’t answer, her panic set in. “He… he’s not picking up.”

“Damn it!” Alessandro cursed, slamming the gas pedal and ignoring the traffic lights.

Within minutes, they pulled up in front of La Piazza. The sight made Mia’s panic intensify. Police were swarming around, people were crying, and an ambulance had just arrived. Paramedics rushed out, sprinting toward the restaurant.
