The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

She handed the papers to Massimo. He put the stack neatly on an empty part of his desk–which wasn’t easy, seeing as the don had plenty of folders and papers already led there.

“Between Morello’s recent boldness and my more frequent meet–ups with my wife, we can’t allow any more accidents to happen,” Massimo explained.

“The car pile–up was weeks ago,” Elena stated. “Has Don Morello made any other moves recently?”

Massimo shook his head. “And that is exactly why we need to be careful. I know that wasn’t the end of his foolish plans.”

Elena was glad to hear no more trouble had gotten stirred up, but she knew Massimo was right. The problem was that Elena had no idea what Tyler Morello could be planning to do next.

Luca mistook her silence for concern. “We will of course be making sure you’re safe, Dr. Vitale–Don Massimo had already told me to ensure your safety as well.”

Massimo glared at him. “That was a given, Luca. Elena is one of my people and will obviously be protected. Just like anyone else.”

Elena didn’t like how Massimo bit out each word, but she didn’t comment on his sharp tone. He was probably just stressed, after all. And Elena had a different thought occupying her mind.

“Can I help with these new security measures?” Elena asked.

It seemed neither man had been prepared for her question. Massimo recovered first.

“And why would I,” he hissed, “allow my family physician to do something like that?”

“Because we both know Don Morello is only acting up so publicly because of me,” Elena explained. “And I like to help out with any problem I cause.”

That gave Massimo pause. Elena couldn’t tell what her boss was thinking. His brow was furrowed so deeply Elena didn’t dare break his concentration.

“Fine,” Massimo finally said, clearly unhappy. “But listen to my men’s instructions and don’t get in their way.”

“Yes, sir,” Elena replied.

Luca gave Elena the task of checking the estate’s windows. She was to keep track of any defects like cracks or broken safety locks as well as measure them–apparently, they were to be outfitted with new alarms.

Elena made quick work of the downstairs floor and headed p the grand staircase to the guest bedroom she had once used. It was just as clean and perfect as she remembered.

It was hard to stay focused in a room full of such memories. This was the place where she first started to get to know her husband. She had spent a good chunk on this bed texting him and waiting for his replies.

It was also where Massimo had delicately laid her injured body down and cared for her.

Elena was in so much pain back then, but she remembered how gently his hands moved across her shoulder. And, of course, there was another time Massimo had laid her down in a soft bed…

Elena’s face burned at that memory. She had almost throw herself at a married man. Elena was lucky she hadn’t made a huge mistake like that.

But if she hadn’t fought so fiercely to control her drugged urges, what would have happened? Massimo wasn’t nearly as devoted to his wife back then. Would he have pusled Elena away?
