Mia showed a surprised expression, intentionally making Maria believe she was convinced by her explanation. However, she was relieved to know they all believed Aria was dead and that her resemblance to Mia was merely a coincidence. "It's good she is dead; otherwise, Alessandro would have killed her," Vanessa huffed with the most hatred. "She was the third wheel in Alessandro's and my love story. Because of her, we had to wait so many years to live our dream to be together," Vanessa spat out with disgust, but her words pierced Mia's heart with the pain of betrayal. So, it was all true-he actually tried to kill her. Vanessa knew it, and perhaps Maria did too but pretended to be ignorant because no one could go against the Italian don. In that moment, all the memories of that night when she was attacked by the assassins sent by her heartless mafia husband resurfaced, making even her soul tremble with fear. She couldn't believe she had loved that monster for so many years and still couldn't let those emotions. "Vanessa!" Maria gasped. "You really have a big mouth and don't know when to stop speaking," she rebuked the dumb supermodel. "Please don't mind her. She actually said this unintentionally, and it's not true at all. She still can't forgive Aria for coming between Alessandro and her, but in the end, Alessandro is hers because he loves only her," Maria emphasized the word "love" to give Mia a clear warning to stay away from him. But Mia was not going to make the same mistake again, not after knowing the true intentions of the mafia king. "I understand, ma'am," Mia spoke with extreme professionalism, maintaining her stoic demeanor. "By the way, if you want, we can leave the mansion and come back later for the rest of the work if you need some time here," she proposed. "No need. Vanessa wanted to see the progress. She just can't wait to move into this house with Alessandro." Maria winked, smirking. "You guys carry on with your work, and we'll just get a tour of the mansion." "Sure!" Mia nodded. "I hope you like our work," she said in a businesslike tone. "I'm sure I'm going to like it. After all, the world famous Mia Peterson has designed the interiors of the mansion." Maria's tone was flattering, but Vanessa remained sullen, her eyes shooting daggers at Mia. However, Mia remained indifferent. Maria dragged Vanessa away before she could make another nasty statement. Mia took a breath of relief as she watched Maria and Vanessa's retreating backs. She clapped her hands, drawing attention. "Okay, guys, we need to finish this mansion ASAP. So, back to work. Where were we?" she asked, and one of her assistant designers showed her the notes they were discussing before being interrupted by Vanessa and Maria. "What were you doing, Vanessa?" Maria scolded her niece in a hushed tone through gritted teeth. "What?!" Vanessa snapped, flipping her red hair smugly. "I was showing that whore her place." "And you forgot you blurted out some secrets that could put Alessandro in trouble," Maria fumed, her anger barely contained. "Come on, Maria. Since when do you care about Alessandro?" Vanessa rolled her eyes. She knew Maria's intentions were never pure. She knew all about Maria's plan as Maria was her aunt, after all. "But I am not as dumb as you, Vanessa. I know Alessandro is my money-making machine. I have to be on his good side if I want a good life." Maria stated coldly. Maria knew her son was not as capable as Alessandro, but she wanted her son to inherit the Valentino empire and the mafia empire. When Antonio died in a gang war, Alessandro was declared the next mafia boss and the heir of the Valentino empire. Her son only got a few states and limited trust funds. She knew they couldn't kill the invincible mafia boss, Alessandro Valentino, but she made sure he remained childless and heirless at the age of thirty. Now, at thirty-four, Alessandro still had no children. According to the will of the head of the Valentino family, Maria's father-in-law, the Valentino empire was now Enzo's by default. Maria had smartly orchestrated Enzo's marriage, and Enzo had a son at the age of thirty. Now, Enzo's son was two years old, solidifying Enzo's position. Alessandro stepped down easily without a fight, choosing to work for the Valentino empire to ensure that the empire his grandfather built with such hard work would not be destroyed or fall into loss. He wanted nothing in return, and Maria and Enzo were happy with Alessandro taking care of the Valentino empire, states, and businesses with no profit for himself. However, the Western Italy mafia was still led by Alessandro, and the mafia council refused to accept Enzo as their leader. It was well known that no one matched Alessandro's leadership and insight; he was irreplaceable as their boss. Maria, ever the strategist, had another plan up her sleeve. She wanted Alessandro to marry Vanessa, her sister's daughter. This way, Maria could get a hold on the mafia business as well. Maria glanced around before she leaned closer to Vanessa. "You need to understand, Vanessa, that marrying Alessandro is the only way we can secure our influence over the mafia. If you become his wife, we can control everything" Vanessa looked at her aunt skeptically. "You know I'm trying everything to make him fall for my beauty and allure, but he seems to be gay and has no interest in any woman. Sometimes I wonder if you intentionally trapped me into this, to marry an impotent man. What will I get in return?" Vanessa whined. "It's said he's never touched a woman. Maybe that's why his wife died." Shut up! You're getting the fortune from this marriage, and your child will inherit the mafia empire." Maria grimaced at the naivety of her niece. "But how will I get a child when Alessandro is gay?" Vanessa shrugged. "You're not innocent, Vanessa, and you know how to get pregnant," Maria smirked, making Vanessa smile cunningly.
