Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: I Swallowed The Pain

Luca paused. He turned slowly to look at his father. His chest rose and fell heavily, every breath dragging through clenched teeth. His hair had fallen slightly over his forehead, and his eyes...

His eyes were bloodshot angry.

Wild.

"Settle down! Now!"

Julian wiped blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, his broken nose already swelling as crimson dripped onto the floor.

But no one moved.

Luca slowly turned his eyes back to Bianca. His fingers flexed slightly.

Still itching for blood.

"What is this madness?" Don shouted. "My rule in my familia is you cannot hurt your family!!!"

"Your rule, father?" Luca turned fully now, staring straight at the old man. "Do you have any idea how much Julian has hurt me. Do you even have any fucking idea how many times his mother hurt me before she died?"

Julian stiffened.

Don’s jaw tightened slightly, but he remained silent.

Luca continued. "Have I for once run to you? No! I swallowed the pain. I pushed it down because you taught us never to be pussies! He had his mother to protect him." Luca jabbed a finger toward Julian. "I didnt! I didnt!"

Then he shook his head, his chest heaving as he tried to pull himself back from the edge he had been standing on since he landed in New York. "Father..." He gestured vaguely toward Bianca. "this... this, this I cannot allow."

"they have done nothing wrong, Luciano. Your wife has a right to be angry." Don said.

"She shot my woman!!!"

The roar ripped out of him.

Don Genovese simply rolled his eyes. "Stray bullet..."

The dismissal was so casual it almost felt insulting.

Luca stared at him like he had just heard something absurd.

A stray bullet.

That was what his father called the image burned into his mind — Veronica lying pale on a hospital bed, her skin drained of color, her voice weak as she tried to pretend she was fine.

"You say we cannot hurt family, yeah?"

Don said nothing.

Luca stepped forward slightly, his gaze shifting between Bianca and Julian. "Veronica Scalese is my family!" he declared. "From this moment on, she is a member of the familia." Luca’s red eyes locked onto his brother and his wife. "one scratch on her head is treason!"

Don Genovese slowly smiled.

A knowing smile.

"So that’s why you went to see your mother."

Luca’s eyes flickered briefly.

"She told you to do this."

The old man looked amused.

Luca didn’t deny it. "You did the same. I expect my claim on her to be respected." He paused, his gaze sweeping the room slowly before settling back on his father. "And I am saying this in front of you father. I don’t care who it is, if any harms comes to her ever again, I will kill every single person responsible."

Don waved a hand dismissively. "Go, we will talk about this later. And Luca, you will still be punished."

"Really?" Luca smiled. He bent slightly and picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground earlier, brushing a shard of glass away from the grip before straightening again.

Everyone watched him.

For a moment it almost looked like the moment had passed.
