Chapter 253 Repercussions +5 Pearls

Both Vittoria and Vanessa swallowed hard, the weight of their actions sinking in as they realized the repercussions. Vanessa's confidence crumbled, and she stammered, "I... I..."

"Shut the fuck up, you bitch," the man barked at Vanessa, his tone dripping with disdain. "Did I tell you to kill her without my permission?"

Aria's gaze shifted to the man who had entered the room. He was tall and broad-shouldered, his sharp features accented by a long scar that ran over his left eyebrow, adding an intimidating edge to his appearance. His powerful frame filled the small space, and he exuded an air of authority that made the atmosphere feel even more tense.

"But... but weren't we supposed to get rid of her eventually? What did I do wrong?" Vanessa protested, though her voice shook, betraying her fear. Aria's heart raced as she pieced together the scene-this man wasn't just anyone. He had authority here and was evidently working with Vittoria and Vanessa.

"Nothing happens without Rafael Marino's permission. Do you understand that?!" he thundered, his voice rising with such intensity that everyone around him seemed to shrink back in fear.

The name clicked in Aria's mind-Rafael Marino. She'd heard it before, once when she'd accidentally overheard her husband's conversation on the phone. Marino was the leader of the notorious Marino gang and Alessandro's sworn rival. Dread settled heavily in her chest as the reality sank in. Where had she ended up? Her heart sank with the realization, and she silently prayed that Alessandro would find her soon -before anything terrible happened to her or their unborn child.

"I'm sorry, Rafael," Vanessa mumbled grumpily, but Rafael ignored her, his gaze locked onto Aria as he began to stalk toward her.

"Ah! Such a beauty!" he remarked, trailing a finger along Aria's cheek. She unched away in disgust, unable to hide her revulsion. Rafael chuckled, clearly enjoying her discomfort. "No doubt Alessandro is ready to give up the most powerful position for a woman. This incredible beauty and allure can make any man fall to his knees. I'm already captivated, bambina."

Aria squared her shoulders, summoning her courage. "And I'm glad I convinced him not to give up what belongs to him. Otherwise, the power would have fallen into unworthy hands," she mocked, fully aware that her boldness could have severe consequences. But she couldn't bear to hear anything about her husband-he was her pride, and deep down, she held onto the hope that he would come for her.

Rafael's face twisted with rage, his expression darkening as he grabbed Aria by the throat. "You will realize- your mistake, bambina, when you witness his life ending before your eyes," he sneered, tightening his grip. "Then I will make you my queen," he spat, his tone taunting.

"In your dreams!" Aria managed to snap defiantly, her hands clawing at his to loosen his grip.

"No, Rafael! You can't just turn away from your word," Vanessa insisted, stepping forward with a desperate attempt to regain control. "That wasn't our deal. We agreed to benefit mutually, and you promised-you said you would kill her! She's the one who's ruined everything for me. I want her to be dead!"

Rafael's gaze shifted to Vanessa, his expression hardening as he left Aria and glared at her. "Vanessa, don't forget who's in charge here," he replied, his tone laced with warning. "I said I'd keep my word, but as long as Alessandro is alive, he's a threat to me. And I don't leave threats hanging around."

He turned back to Aria, a dark, twisted smile creeping onto his face. "So, he dies. And you'll just have to

accent that."

Oh God! Aria's heart sank as the horrifying realization washed over her. Rafael's plan was to lure Alessandro here to save her, only to trap him and kill him. Desperation clawed at her insides as she prayed with everything she had that Alessandro would never find her. She wanted him to be safe, no matter the

cost.

Determined to protect him, she knew she had to act quickly. Turning her attention to Vanessa, she began to provoke her. "I pity you, Vanessa," she taunted, a smirk playing on her lips. "You say you love Alessandro, but here you are, teaming up with his rival to get him back. Your plan has backfired, hasn't it? Now Rafael Marino is going to kill him right before your eyes, and you can't do a damn thing about it."

Vanessa's face contorted with anger, her eyes narrowing as she processed Aria's words. Aria felt a flicker of hope; if she could sow enough doubt and frustration in Vanessa's mind, maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to save Alessandro, to stop him from coming here.

"Shut the fuck up, you bitch!" Vanessa bellowed, fury and hatred twisting her features. "My Alessandro can't die. I will kill you, and then he will be mine forever!" With that declaration, she raised the gun she had in her hand, aiming it directly at Aria.

Aria instinctively caressed her stomach, feeling the weight of the choice before her. In that moment, she knew she had to choose one life over the other, and her heart ached for her unborn baby as she chose her husband. Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself for what was to come. She would gladly sacrifice her own life for the man she loved.

Suddenly, she heard Rafael's voice rise in alarm as he lunged toward Vanessa, but before he could reach her, the gun went off. The deafening crack of the shot echoed in the small room, and Aria's heart raced as she watched in horror. Blood began to drip onto the filthy floor, staining the dirt with a crimson hue.
