Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro)

Chapter 92 Losing A Friend Finished

"No! Please, stop it! The children are watching. Don't display your ugly behavior in front of them," Mia shouted urgently, interrupting the angry men before the situation escalated further. She felt a deep apprehension about their feral standoff.

Both men seemed to snap out of their trance and took a step back, breaking the tension. Adam, too, cared about Gia and Maximo. He was hurt that they chose Alessandro over him; he had always thought of them as his own and wanted to be their family. "Let me do this, Alessandro. Just one last time, please," Mia tried to convince her mafia husband again.

"I'm waiting for you. Finish this quickly," he replied, nodding in silent warning about his impatience before. he took Emily and the kids to a nearby vacant table.

Mia felt a bit relieved that Alessandro had at least agreed to give them some space. As he moved away and sat with the kids, though his eyes remained fixed on her, Mia turned towards Adam. She noticed an unfamiliar intensity in his gaze, something she had never seen before

Adam's intense, scrutinizing eyes made Mia's palms sweat. His penetrating gaze seemed to strip away her defenses, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable.

"What is going on, Mia?" Adam's voice was cold, the exhaustion in his breath evident. "I don't understand how everything changed overnight. The family that was supposed to be mine is now someone else's. The sharp accusation in his tone made Mia wince. "Adam, nothing changed overnight, and that's the good part," she said firmly, but her voice remained soft, laden with the care she still felt for him. He was her friend, and she could never bring herself to hurt him. "Whether you want to accept it or not, I..." She paused, looking at him with imploring eyes, hoping he would understand. "I don't love you, and I never gave you mixed signals."

Adam raked a frantic hand through his hair, cursing under his breath.

"Why is he so important to you? What's so special about him?" he groaned, frustration lacing every word.

But Mia couldn't reply. She couldn't tell him the truth. She did trust Adam, but this time he was very angry, and she didn't know what he would do with that information. No, she couldn't take that risk. Her heart ached for the pain she saw in his eyes, but she knew that some truths were too danger

to reveal.

Suddenly, as if the realization dawned on him, Adam's eyes brimmed with shock. "He... he is the father Adam gasped

Mia's eyes snapped toward Adam's questioning ones, but she remained silent, her heart pounding in her chest. Adam nodded slowly with a knowing glint in his eyes.

"You are impossible, Mia!" he exclaimed, shaking his head. There was no pity or empathy in his expression, only disdain. "Did you forget that you didn't even want to talk about that man. Hell, he wasn't even present in your life for six years, and then he appeared out of nowhere, and you neglected all other relationships for him."

Adam frowned, his annoyance evident. "You women always trust the wrong man, and then you repeat that mistake by choosing him again. Then you complain when something bad happens, asking why fate has to De unfair." He snorted coldly. "It's not fate but you who is to blame for making such a big mistake."

of anyong's business. I've made all my decisions in my life alone, bad or good. I never regretted them, and I'm still proud of myself as an independent woman." She lifted her head smugly, her eyes blaring with defiance.

She had survived the worst situations and had been on her own for six whole years, raising her kids vide handedly. She didn't need anyone to remind her of her strength or to suggest she couldn't take bere decisions.

"Mia, the whole world witnessed my proposal, and my fans are waiting for us to make announcement about the wedding date, Adam said, his voice heavy with upset.

"Adam, that was again your mistake. You planned that without discussing it with me, and now I can't do anything about it. It's marriage, not a child's game you're talking about. We can't. I can't do this," V replied in a voice heavy with exhaustion. Adam's shoulders slumped as he absorbed her words, his frustration palpable. Disbelief surfaced in his

eyes.

"But if you need me to issue an announcement together to the press to give clarity to your fans, I'm always in. We can make excuses, like it was all a big prank or a misunderstanding" She paused, offering a small smile. "However, your female fans would be very happy knowing you're not getting married anytime soon? She smiled teasingly, hoping to lighten the mood.

But Adam's face remained stern, his eyes boring into Mia's for a moment longer before they shifted toward the children. The sight of them intensified his pain. He had always dreamed that family would be his. He took a deep breath, trying to swallow the lump forming in his throat.

"Goodbye, Mia. I hope we never cross paths again," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

He didn't wait for her reply, turning on his heel and leaving quickly, his footsteps echoing in the lobby of the restaurant.

Mia's heart ached as she watched him walk away, his figure growing smaller and smaller in the distance. her eyes glistening with the hurt of losing a very close friend. The pain of his departure cut deep, leaving a hollow feeling in her chest. She had made her choice, but the cost was higher than she had anticipated. Though she resolved in her mind to try to mend things between them, she wasn't sure if Am would ever forgive her.
