Mia set the final plate on the table, glancing at the kids who were still glued to the television, watching yet another cartoon.
"Maximo," she sighed, rubbing her forehead with exhaustion. "I'm exhausted from watching cartoons all day. Can you please change the channel? It's almost time for your dad to get home, and I'd like to catch up on the news."
She had spent the entire day at home, feeling too drained to go to work. After the chaos of the morning she just didn't have the energy. Alessandro had been called away for some urgent business, leaving her to manage things from home. The fatigue weighed heavily on her now.
"Okay, Mom, Maximo replied, obedient as ever. He grabbed the remote and, with a quick flick, changed the channel, replacing the cheerful cartoon with the serious tones of the evening news.
As the news began playing on the television, Mia sank into a chair, her elbow propped on the table as she rested her head in her palm. The fatigue of the day still weighed on her, but something about the news caught her attention. Her eyes grew sharp, and her lips parted in surprise as she heard the name *Emily Yang on the screen. Her gaze locked onto the television, where she saw a glimpse of Matteo shielding Emily from the cameras, and the news anchor identified Matteo Vinci as Emily's attorney.
Mia frowned, but the next few words brought a sense of relief-Emily's ex-husband had finally been convicted of his crimes. Justice had been served for Emily and her late parents.
But then the weight of what she had just seen started to sink in. Matteo was involved in this case. That could only mean Alessandro must have known about it too. And the fact that Emily, her best friend, had hidden this from her stung deeply. Mia's chest tightened. How could they keep something this huge from her? How could Emily keep this from her? She struggled to process the hurt, disbelief flooding through her.
Her angry thoughts were interrupted by the joyful squeals of her children. "Daddy!!" Gia and Maximo ran toward the door as Alessandro entered,
He smiled warmly at his wife, but his expression faltered when he noticed her lack of response. Confusion washed over him as he registered the news headlines playing on the television. His heart sank as he realized the implications of what he was hearing, and the moment Mia's furious gaze fixed on him, he knew his doom was coming.
"Amore mio, let me explain," he urged desperately, his voice laced with anxiety.
But Mia stood abruptly, her eyes blazing, and walked toward their bedroom without another word. Before entering, she turned to the nanny and instructed firmly, "Make sure the kids eat on time and go to bed. after brushing their teeth."
As Alessandro watched Aria retreat, he sensed the tension radiating from her. She clearly didn't want to discuss the situation in front of the kids. With a nervous heart, he followed her into their room, knowing he had to confront the brewing storm.
He watched as Mia entered the room and slammed the door behind her, the sound echoing through the house. Alessandro winced, realizing just how deep in trouble he was. The invincible Italian don, who had never feared anyone in his life, now found himself nervous to enter his own bedroom and face his furious wife. He just prayed that Mia loved him enough not to attack him too harshly.
Swallowing hard Alessandro grabbed the door knob opening it as quietly as possible not wanting to do

"Baby, calm down. The stress and anger aren't good for you or our baby," Alessandro tried to coax his beautiful wife, who looked so furious she seemed ready to explode at any moment. He blinked at her with an innocent expression, trying to appear as though he had no idea why she was upset-an act that could easily fool anyone.
"Calm down?" Mia snapped, shocked by her husband's infuriating behavior. He knew exactly what he had done, yet he still feigned innocence. "How dare you do this to me, Alessandro?" she shouted, her voice rising in a crescendo of hurt and betrayal.
Alessandro drew in a long, steadying breath, fully aware that a storm was brewing. He knew that a furious wife could be scarier than any lethal weapon in the world, and this time, the stakes were particularly high.
