Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro)

Chapter 173 Heart-Wrenching Deceit #Finished

"You killed my mother!" Alessandro's whole body trembled with fury as his shout echoed through the room like a clap of thunder, and Maria's eyes widened. She instinctively closed them and turned her head away, unable to withstand the fierce, burning anger inNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Alessandro's gaze.

The letter fluttered in his hand, caught by a gust of wind, drawing his gaze back to it. Alessandro's eyes softened, turning from fury to a helpless, haunted look as he stared at his mother's handwriting-the only piece of her he had left. "She wanted me to know," he began, his voice suddenly thick with emotion, "that she loved me and wanted me to be sale. So, she chose to disappear from my life, to protect me."

His voice trembled with the weight of his words, and his eyes brimmed with pain and remorse. He had spent so many years misunderstanding, even hating, his mother. Now, the truth of her sacrifice tore at him, an unbearable revelation. "Because Maria threatened her, he snarled, his voice hardening with each word. "to leave Father and me alone and disappear from our lives if she wanted us to stay alive."

Alessandro's jaw tightened as a deadly glint flashed in his eyes. His fists clenched around the letter, crumpling it in his grip as his rage boiled over. The room seemed to darken with the force of his fury, and it was clear that someone would face the full weight of his wrath today. There would be blood, and there would be no mercy.

"That's... that's not true!" Maria cried, her eyes brimming with tears as she stared at Alessandro. She could see her own death before her in the form of a raging son, ready to avenge his mother's blood..

"Someone is trying to frame me, son. You know me how I sacrificed everything for you and your father's happiness." Maria pleaded, her voice trembling with desperation. "How could I do something like this?"

A conflict stirred in Alessandro's heart. He had never found anything suspicious about Maria before; she had always seemed loyal and devoted. But how could his mother's handwritten letter be false?

"Your mother ran away with her lover and left this letter behind to plant a seed of hatred in your heart," Maria explained in a voice drenched with helplessness and pain. "I am glad you didn't find it back then, or you would have believed her lies."

She poured every ounce of her acting skills into her words, desperately trying to convince Alessandro that she was right and his mother was the one who had wronged him

"How can you blame Mom?" Vittoria stepped in, siding with Maria. "She even killed her own son to save you," she reminded Alessandro in a voice laced with bitterness.

Alessandro scowled, his face clouded with even more conflict. He couldn't decide whom to believe-the woman who had raised him or his gut feeling, which whispered that his mother had been a victim all along. His heart wavered between the present accusations and the unsettling truth of his mother's letter.

But Mia grew frustrated with Maria's deceit, and she knew she had to do something to expose her true colors to Alessandro.

"Really, Maria?!" Mia challenged, her glare sharp with anger. "Then how do you explain that ring- Alessandro's mother's ring-being in your possession?"

"What are you talking about?" Maria feigned ignorance, her eyes darting nervously.

Mia snorted, shaking her head. "The ring with the big ruby stone and unique design. Alessandro?!" Mia reminded her husband, and Alessandro's eyes sparked with sudden recollection. "I've seen that ring in Maria's room many times I'm sure if we searched her belongings we'd find it with her" che merested

"Stop it, Aria!" Maria scolded in a flat, deflated voice. "I know you have a grudge against me because Alessandro is closer to me than to you, but for heaven's sake, stop lying!" She sobbed, her hand covering her mouth as she lowered her eyes, trying to appear innocent and victimized by circumstance.

Mia was revolted by Maria's vile acting, deceit, and wicked lies. But before Mia could respond, Alessandro interrupted.

"No! Aria is telling the truth," Alessandro declared with disgust. "I've seen that ring in photographs from various events published in tabloids. You really do love to flaunt your possessions, Maria."

"That ring was given to me by your father after your mother died," Maria fibbed, but Alessandro's glare remained unconvinced.

"I was there when... Alessandro's voice faltered as his throat tightened, the memory of that tragic day choking him. "When my father killed my mother because of your scheming and the misunderstandings you orchestrated between them. I was there until she was cremated. My father despised her so much that he buried her just like that, without even taking any of the jewelry she wore at the time." His voice was heavy with pain.

"It makes sense now." Alessandro continued, his voice cold and accusing, "that you kidnapped my mother and took her ring before my father could discover her and have her killed."

"How dare you do this, Maria?" he roared, trembling with rage.
