THE SINFUL BONDAGE OF MAFIA PRINCESS
039. UNCOVERED

Savero's question made Ruella speechless. Something was on his mind at this moment. He remembered what happened three years ago. Honestly, he could not forget the incident, but there was nothing he could do about a reality. The truth about something that no one would believe in.

"Why silence?" Savero's question scrunched his forehead staring at Ruella. "So it's true you hid it. Looks like you already know that the person you hit was the same person as my best friend—Matteo. Right so?"

Ruella immediately moved up from her sleeping position and sat on the bed. He did not want to say anything because it seemed like his words would not be trusted by Savero, therefore he would just say something that showed who he was as usual.

"Do I have to remember? Is that important to me? I don't think so. All the things that have passed let it pass, why do you talk about it again? Want whoever I hit, be it your best friend or someone else. That doesn't matter anymore, does it? Now get out, and let me continue my sleep." Said Ruella with a sharp gaze and an emphatic tone of voice.

Of course Savero was struck with emotion when he heard the words of Ruella who seemed to ignore what sin he had committed by killing Matteo first. Even from his gaze there was no remorse at all.

"Now I understand. You are a cruel arrogant woman. It seems you've enjoyed everything you've done in your life." Savero said in his usual tone. "Ah, it seems like what happened to you first with that guy named Hugo, you actually want it too."

Ruella just silently looked at Savero who said a sentence that made her sad. Even so, the woman continued to hold herself back from crying. He kept staring intently at Savero who was still silent looking at himself from where he stood.

"I don't understand what kind of woman you are. Now I'm sorry I'm gonna have a daughter with a woman like you." Savero added after that walked out of that room.

Ruella's retained tears finally came out because she could not bear the pain of all Savero's words earlier. Somehow the rude words that Savero was saying at this time were very piercing in his heart. Though previously he never questioned whatever all Savero said to him.

All because of the effects of Ruella's pregnancy that makes her feel hurt when hearing the bad words of the father of the child in her birth.

Ruella stayed in the room all day. He only asked the two guards to give news about Hugo. Unfortunately, Hugo only had a gunshot wound to his shoulder and everything was fine. This made Ruella even more upset because her plan failed to kill the man.

Boredom overrule Ruella intended to call her husband again, even though only an hour ago she called earlier.

"Dear, I'll be home tomorrow." Donzello said this directly when answering the phone. "I'm not gonna pull it back. You don't have to worry."

"Hurry home, if you can today if there is no more work, just go home." Ruella exclaimed with great disdain speaking on the phone.

"I'm sorry, Rue. I promised to have dinner with your uncle and aunt." Answer Donzello.

"Uncle Vern and aunt Viv?" Ask Ruella. "Yes, okay. Come home early tomorrow, I miss you so much."

After hanging up her phone, Ruella let out a long sigh as her current sense of boredom felt so agonizing towards her. He held his stomach to feel the fetus inside.

He recalled Savero's very painful words earlier and now made Ruella become sad again.

No one will believe his words, so he doesn't want to say anything about what happened three years ago to anyone. All because he did not have any evidence for what actually happened.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and Paola appeared to bring fruits to Ruella.

"Eat these fruits, madam, so that you may be healthy again." Excited Paola put a plate of fruits that have been cut to the table beside the bed.

"I told you, I'm fine, Paola." Ruella answered, pursing her lips.

"Yes it seems so, but the mistress's face looks nothing like usual. Is there something the lady thinks?" Paola asked who stood watching Ruella.

"Mr Sav? Since three o'clock this afternoon he's been in his room after coming home from the hospital." Paola replied as she glanced at the wall clock in the room. "Now four o'clock in the afternoon, that means he's been in the room for an hour. What is it, madam? Does anything hurt? Does the madam want me to call her to check on you?"

"No need. I think I want to go now." Ruella stood up and got out of bed.

"Where is the lady going? Madam better rest in the room. Don't go anywhere, madam!!" Pinta Paola with a worried look.

"I'm just going somewhere to enjoy my day. Don't tell Savero. If he asks, just answer me in the room. Youunderstand?" Ruella's gaze looked extremely sharp on Paola at this moment.

...***...

Donzello, who is currently in Genoa, visited the home of Ruella's uncle and aunt. Vernon Arkyn Sanzio and Vivian Zeta La Nostra. Vivian is a mafia leader in Venice, continuing the grandmother of her mother who is the leader of the mafia network named Dranheta.

Dranheta is a mafia group that controls the economy in Venice and moves secretly or underground. Vivian—adik of Ruella's father had a very strong power continuing his grandmother Melissa Bellucci.

"Please, Don... Enjoy it all." Vivian is currently in Genoa. "How's Rue doing now? Is she okay?"

"Yes, everything's fine." Donzello answered while enjoying his dinner.

"How does it feel to have a child at your current age?" Vernon asked who was sitting in the single seat between Vivian and Donzello.

"It's more stressful and feels like new going to have a child." Donzello replied with a laugh.

"We didn't think you two were in a relationship without our knowledge. It's good that you got married, the wedding happened at the right time because Rue was very young at the time." Vivian.

Donzello slightly did not understand what Vivian was saying to her.

"Sorry madam, what do you mean?" Donzello asked confusedly.

"Yesterday Renata told me about what happened. We're surprised but it doesn't matter, even we're glad that Rue married you before it was discovered that she was pregnant with your son, Don." Vivian answered with a smile. "Is that why you decided to get married?"

Like being struck by lightning Donzello heard all Vivian said to him. Instantly it felt like he was being played with when he heard the truth about Ruella's pregnancy. He did not think about all that, about his pregnant wife even before they were both married.

Donzello felt that he had been deceived by Ruella.

"What's wrong? Why did your face become like that?" Vernon asked who saw the change in Donzello's face.

Donzello immediately hid his current feelings and smiled.

"Yes, things are going as they should." Donzello said with a smile.
