she bellowed at Alessandro.
"Vittoria, take Lorenzo to your room," Maria instructed, her voice firm. Vittoria glared at her mother-in-law in
disbelief and disgust.
"Go to your room, Vittoria!" Maria's voice rose, her tone so cold it made Vittoria flinch. Breathing heavily with
anger and hatred, Vittoria stared at Maria with tearful eyes filled with loathing before finally retreating to her
room, taking Lorenzo with her.
"What have you done?" Alessandro bellowed, snatching the revolver back from Maria. He didn't want him to die
so quickly and easily. Alessandro had planned to make him confess his sins and crimes, to reveal who else had

Alessandro was momentarily shocked to hear Maria. He didn't expect this from his stepmother. However he
hadn't wanted Lorenzo to witness his father's death just as he had been forced to watch his mother die when he
was very young. But most of all, he hadn't expected Maria to kill her own son. He was both confused and
impressed, believing that Maria chose to side with justice and him.

down her face. She looked at Alessandro with hope in her weary eyes.

Alessandro sighed, utterly conflicted about what to say. He was strict with his rules and had never shown mercy
to anyone who betrayed him. But after his mother's death, Maria was the one he looked up to as a mother figure.
He cared for her deeply. Though he was cold-hearted, he couldn't bring himself to hurt someone he cared about.
Even if he was the one who had established the rule, he had the authority, and he could change it.
"As you say, mother," he agreed in his,signature indifferent tone.
Maria smiled through her tear-filled eyes, holding Alessandro's hand tightly as she urged, "I have one more
request, Alessandro."
"Tell me, mother," he replied, straightening his back while fixing Maria with an intense gaze.
"I don't want the world to know how Enzo deceived his brother. | want him to go in peace and with respect,"
Maria demanded insistently.
