Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia

Rosana couldn’t eat any longer. Rather, she kept sipping wine and glaring at Sergio. What does he think he is? She wondered. And why does he affect her so much even after everything he had done to her?

Deep down, she had so much revulsion for him but there was a little part that flushed whenever he was around her. And the worst part was that she couldn’t control it no matter how hard she tried to.

But why should it be that way? She wondered.

This man was ruthless and didn’t care about anyone, no matter how big or small the person was. If he could lock her in the freezing room for hours and also lock her in a white cell where she almost lost her sanity, then he was worse than the devil.

And instead of loathing him so much for everything he had done to her, she was… Getting turned on by just hearing his deep voice and being close to him. What the hell was wrong with her?

She didn’t acknowledge when he stood up and started walking away until he paused in front of Munika who was still standing in the doorway. Rosana looked at the old woman and sighed. She must be disappointed in her after everything, she thought. Munika froze in the spot as all the blood drained from her face. He knew… Sergio knew about everything. Rosana must’ve told him everything. She must’ve exposed her.

“My wife has not told me a thing. But you know I always recognize your work when I see one” With that being said, he walked off.

Rosana kept watching but couldn’t unravel what was going on. What did Sergio say to his mother that made her turn pale? She looked shocked and frightened like she had seen a ghost or received the worst news of her life.

She hastily stood up and rushed over to her. “Are you… Are you okay?”

“Water… Water. Get me water!”

Rosana nodded and dashed into the kitchen to fetch her a glass of water. By the time she returned, Munika was sitting in the dining room. She had managed to move her legs which suddenly turned heavy.

“Thank you!” She breathed and dropped the glass on top of the table after taking several gulps.

“Are you okay?” “Oh, please, stop,” Rosana responded and bit her lower lips. “It was not your fault. You were only trying to help”

Munika took a deep breath and wiped imaginary tears from her eyes. She still couldn’t imagine that Rosana was alive. She had thought her dead and eliminated her from her mind. But she was wrong.

Maybe that’s the reason why Sergio spared her. Because he knew Rosana couldn’t have plotted everything by herself. She had an accomplice, a mastermind behind the whole plan.

“So… What now?”

“What what?” Rosana asked in confusion.

“Do not tell me you have given up!” Munika leaned closer and whispered. “Do not tell me you have accepted this”

Rosana was surprised. She didn’t understand what Munika was driving at but she knew it wasn’t good. Was she expecting her to come up with another escape plan?Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I… I am not doing this again!”

“He is going to kill you”

Rosana stood to her feet immediately. “Then, I will die”

Munika scoffed and shook her head. So after everything, she still managed to remain in their life. After everything, she still managed to stand firm and unbreakable. What kind of a lady was she?

“And what about your little lover boy, huh? Do you not love him anymore?”

Rosana hesitated and thought about it. She still loved Allen deeply but she knew it wouldn’t change anything. It wouldn’t change her from being Sergio’s wife and being trapped in his hell. So she had to accept her fate. She had to let go of her feelings for him and stay strong.

“I know you still love him, My dear.” Munika continued in a calm tone after getting the reaction she had been looking for. Of course, it was evident that Rosana still loved her ex-fiance.

“Yes I do”

“Then what are you waiting for? Are you already tired of fighting for your love, huh?”

“Yes, I am tired. I cannot continue to fight a battle I will never win. A battle that would cost the lives of people I love and care about”

“So you are giving up then,” Munika asked and scoffed. “So pathetic! I guess you never loved him”

“And I guess you do not know your son too well”

The two women stared at each other silently, each having different thoughts running through their minds. How dare she accuse her of not knowing her son too well? Munika thought angrily. And why would she keep pushing her to fall into hell? Rosana wondered.

“I will try to get rid of my feelings for Allen,” Rosana finally said. “But I will never forget him.”

“And what about my son? Do you love him?”

“No, never!” Rosana deadpanned irritably. She could never imagine herself falling in love with someone like Sergio. “I hate your son so much and I will keep cursing the day I met him”

Munika saw the anger and hatred burning in her eyes. The pain and the hurt all combined, and she felt relieved. Rosana might have been forced to marry Sergio but she can never be forced to love him. Sergio on the other hand will never take it easy on her, especially when she keeps opposing him.

And a marriage without love is like a house built on thick sand. But Munika wasn’t alleviated. She needed this woman out of their life but was afraid at the same time. Sergio would not spare her the next time. Munika furrowed her brows and turned around but Rosana had walked off already. How dare she? She gritted, glaring at her exiting figure.

Well, she should also accept her as her Mother-in-law. Munika said in her mind. Because she was not going anywhere. And she would do anything to eradicate her, no matter what.
