Chapter 12 - The Mafia Boss Who Once Terrified New York Asked Me to Stay
Months passed.
The Moretti empire collapsed.
Rafael was sentenced.
Lorenzo entered protective custody.
Michael disappeared.
And Alessandro became a different man.
He started a legitimate security company.
He sold properties.
He donated money.
He rebuilt the neighborhood where Sofia had grown up.
Emma adored him.
She called him “Mr. Wolf.”
He pretended to hate it.
He secretly loved it.
One evening, I found him sitting in the garden.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you keep protecting us?”
He looked at me.
“Because the first time I saw Emma, she was trying to save you.”
He smiled.
“And I realized nobody had ever tried to save me.”
I sat beside him.
“You don't have to save us anymore.”
“I know.”
“Then what do you want?”
He looked at me.
“You.”
My heart stopped.
“I don't understand.”
“I want you to stay.”
“As an employee?”
“No.”
He took my hand.
“As the woman I love.”
I stared at him.
Alessandro Moretti.
The man who once terrified the city.
Was asking me to stay.
Not because I worked for him.
Because he loved me.
I smiled.
“I'll stay.”
He kissed my forehead.
Emma shouted from the garden.
“Mama! Mr. Wolf!”
We laughed.
