The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 112

“It looks ridiculous,” Massimo observed.

“Good,” Elena replied. “Parties should never be too serious.”

“I’ve been to plenty of mafia parties,” Massimo continued, “and none of them looked like this.”

“Those aren’t parties–they’re meetings,” Elena corrected. “They’re for business. This is just for fun.”

Massimo looked back at their hard work, as if trying to appreciate Elena’s perspective.

“Is there anyone you want to invite?” Elena asked. “Beyond Luca and myself I mean.”

“No,” Massimo replied quickly.

“Not even your grandfather? Or your wife?” Elena asked.

“No,” Massimo repeated. “Actually, there’s something I need to do first. Wait here.”

Before Elena could say a single word, Massimo quickly left the dining room and the Ferraro estate altogether.

Massimo parked his car outside of Aria’s cousin’s hotel. He quickly made his way to Aria’s room–232. He knocked.

Aria answered the door. Her smile disappeared when she saw him. “Y’know, when I gave you this address, I thought it’d be for more enjoyable activities–but I can tell that’s the furthest thing from your mind right now.”

“Let me in,” Massimo stated. “We need to talk.”

Aria rolled her eyes and opened the door. Massimo stepped inside.

The room was oddly barren. Massimo briefly wondered if Aria had packed enough things to stay here for as long as she had. But he shook his head–that wasn’t why he was here.

“We need to get a divorce,” he stated.

“We don’t need to do anything,” Aria countered. “I know we’re having a rough patch right now, but don’t you think we should give this some serious thought?”

“I have thought about this seriously.”

“Really? That’s why your first words to me after you were arrested–after I waited for you for hours at the country jail–were, ‘We should get a divorce, Aria,“” she replied. “It all sounds like a typical stress response to me.”

“I wanted to divorce you back on the cruise ship,” Massimo stated.

“You mean when you were going against that nasty mafia don and were stressed out of your mind?” Aria argued. ” This is exactly why I stopped visiting you in jail, y’know. This divorce and how much you hate me is all you ever want to talk about–it’s like no matter what I do, it’s not good enough for you.”

“It isn’t,” Massimo said cruelly. His words sunk into Aria like knives, but he no longer held any love for her. He wanted this whole ordeal to be over quickly.

Massimo pulled out a check and handed it out to Aria. “I will of course pay for devaluing your future marriage prospects. I think this is a fair offer.”

Aria took the check. Her eyes widened as she read the large sum.

As Massimo watched her, he couldn’t believe he had ever been in love with someone like Aria. She was too similar to all the mafia women he had met and rejected. In his mind, Aria held no redeeming qualities.

“Fine,” Aria said suddenly. “But you better not change your mind–I’ll be leaving New York in a few weeks, so better send the divorce papers to my apartment before then.”

Massimo frowned. “Have you told Elena this?”

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business,” Aria replied, clearly annoyed.

“You better tell her,” Massimo insisted.

“Fine!” Aria shouted. “I was going to tell her anyway, geez. Is that it yet, or is there another unreasonable demand you want to make?”

Massimo took a deep breath and walked to the door. “Goodbye, Aria.”
