The Mafia Boss Was Ready to Marry Another — Until His Maid Revealed the Secret She’d Hidden
Chapter 14
Her sister’s name was Sophia.
She had been raised overseas.
Their mother had given her to another family to keep her away from the Delacroix conflict.
Sophia had recently discovered the truth.
She came looking for Elena.
Not money.
Not inheritance.
Family.
Elena welcomed her.
The two women spent hours comparing memories.
Different childhoods.
Different lives.
Same mother.
Same stubbornness.
Same habit of looking away when emotional.
Luca watched them.
Rose immediately loved Sophia.
The family grew.
There was no war.
No betrayal.
No struggle for power.
Just people discovering they had been separated by fear.
Sophia eventually asked:
“Why did Mom leave us?”
Elena answered:
“To save us.”
“Did it work?”
“Yes.”
“Did she ever regret it?”
Elena thought.
“I don’t think she regretted loving us.”
Sophia smiled.
That night, they returned to the old chapel.
Elena placed her mother’s ring on the altar.
“I wish you could see us.”
Sophia stood beside her.
“She can.”
Luca and Rose waited outside.
Elena looked at him.
“Do you ever think about that first night?”
“The wedding?”
“Yes.”
“You told me not to marry Vanessa.”
“I did.”
“You saved me.”
“You saved me too.”
“How?”
“You gave me a family.”
She smiled.
“You already had one.”
“No.”
He took her hand.
“I had a bloodline.”
He looked at Sophia.
“Now I have a family.”
Elena kissed him.
The past was finally quiet.
The Delacroix name had changed.
The mansion had changed.
The businesses had changed.
Most importantly, the people had changed.
