Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 252 Vengeance

.

Aria's head throbbed painfully as she opened her heavy eyes, a sharp ache pulsing through her skull. She realized she was lying on a cold, damp floor in a dimly lit, foul-smelling room that looked like a dungeon, Panic seized her as fragmented memories rushed back, bringing a wave of dread. Instinctively, her hand went to her stomach. Then her second concern was Emily.

With a surge of adrenaline, she got to a sitting position her anxious gaze scanning the dim space until she spotted Emily lying nearby on the cold floor.

"Emily! Emily!" Aria called, kneeling down and shaking her friend in an urgent attempt to wake her. Her mind was racing, still unable to fully grasp what had happened to them or how they'd ended up in this filthy place.

"Glad you're awake," a voice startled Aria, and she looked up to see Vittoria and Vanessa standing before her, both wearing smug smirks.

"Vittoria?" Aria's brow furrowed in confusion as her gaze shifted to Vanessa. "Vanessa?! What's going on here?"

"Oh, Aria, you're so innocent. Do you still not understand?" Vanessa sneered, a mocking laugh escaping her lips, "You messed with the wrong person. Taking my place was the biggest mistake of your life," she added, her tone dripping with venom. "Now, be ready to bear its consequences."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"What the hell are you talking about, Vanessa?" Aria pushed herself up to her feet, meeting Vanessa's gaze defiantly. "I never took your place. You're trying to claim someone who isn't yours. Alessandro loves me, and that's why he chose me."

"Shut up, you bitch!" Vanessa screamed, her voice laced with rage as she stormed toward Aria. In an instant, she raised her hand and slapped Aria hard across the cheek. The impact sent a shock through Aria's body, leaving her stunned, her skin stinging from the blow. "If you had died six years ago, he would be mine-only mine," Vanessa spat, her voice trembling with a crazed fury. "Why did you have to come back? Why didn't you stay dead?" Her eyes were wild, a bloodthirsty glint appearing in them as she lunged forward, grabbing Aria's hair with a brutal grip and yanking it back mercilessly.

"But don't worry," Vanessa sneered, her expression twisted with madness. "I'll fix that mistake. Today, you will die." Her laughter filled the small room, an unhinged chuckle that made Aria cringe, as Vanessa's grip only tightened.

Aria lifted her head, her expression one of shock as she stared at Vanessa. What could she possibly expect from a woman as wicked as her? With Vittoria standing there as well, it was clear that she was cut from the same cloth as her husband, Enzo, and her mother-in- law, Maria. Panic bubbled beneath the surface as Aria's thoughts shifted to her only concern: how to escape this nightmarish place while protecting her unborn child and Emily, who lay unconscious on the cold floor.

"Vanessa," Aria said, her voice trembling slightly but filled with determination, "you know Alessandro will be furious with you if he finds out what you've done to me. I'm carrying his child." She hoped to appeal to Vanessa's fear of Alessandro's wrath. She understood his reputation as a ruthless mafia boss; everyone in their world feared him, and she needed to use that to her advantage."So it's better if you let us go, and I'll make sure he forgives you," Aria added, lifting her chin with newfound confidence.

"You're pregnant?!" Vittoria's voice broke through, and Aria's gaze shifted to her, catching a fleeting hint of concern in Vittoria's eves.

"Yes," Aria nodded, seizing the opportunity. "That's why I'm asking you to let me go. We can settle our differences peacefully. There's no need for violence." She held Vittoria's gaze, hoping her words would reach the woman beneath the bitterness. For a moment, Vittoria looked uncertain, but Vanessa quickly intervened, shaking her friend out of hesitation.

"Don't listen to her! Remember how she and Alessandro killed Enzo and snatched everything that rightfully belonged to you and your son!" Vanessa's voice was sharp, dripping with venom. "Don't you want to take it all back-with a vengeance?" Her words hit their mark. Vittoria's brief softness vanished, her expression turning ice-cold as she focused on Aria with renewed malice.

"Yes, I want everything back. But I'm not a murderer," Vittoria replied firmly. She turned to Aria, her expression resolute. "Transfer everything to my son's name, and I'll let you go."

Aria felt a glimmer of hope, but Vanessa's face twisted with fury.

"Are you insane?" she shouted at Vittoria. "I don't care if you get anything or not. I want Alessandro, and for that to happen, she has to die."

In a fit of rage, she snatched a gun from a nearby goon, pointing it directly at Aria. Aria's heart pounded as she instinctively clutched her stomach, fear flooding her at the thought of her unborn child in danger.

Before she could react, a chilling voice echoed from behind Vanessa. "Don't do anything foolish, Vanessa."

Everyone froze, their eyes widening in shock as they turned tow:
