"Who's behind the attack?" Alessandro growled, his jaw clenched, his face dark with anger.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"I will find out very soon," Matteo muttered darkly.

He didn't want to act on mere suspicion, not until he was sure. However, he knew that after hearing the name, Alessandro wouldn't hesitate to kill the person suspected of the attack. This wasn't the punishment Matteo wanted for the culprit behind the attack on Emily. His sense of justice was different from that of the Italian don. He was famous as the ruthless attorney for a reason. He didn't want an easy death for criminals and the guilty; he wanted a vengeful punishment on behalf of the victims.

"Matteo, I need you to keep Emily safe. You know how much she means to Aria," Alessandro instructed assertively.

"If you hadn't told me, I'd still do everything in my power to protect her. It's personal now," Matteo muttered the last part unconsciously, then bit his lip, realizing just how important Emily had become to him in such a short time. He felt something different about her... something he'd never felt for anyone else before.

"Personal? What do you mean?" Alessandro snapped.

Matteo clenched his eyes, cursing under his breath, before quickly replying, "I'm her attorney, representing her in court against her ex-husband. And she's Aria's best friend, so that makes her family. right?" As a skilled lawyer, he knew exactly how to twist words to his advantage.

"Yes, she is family. After all, she was there for Aria when she was alone. I'll make sure she never faces difficulties in her life. But you're right-I can't tell Aria about all this right now. Our relationship is going through a rough patch again, and I can't give her more stress, Matteo heard Alessandro sigh heavily.

"Going through a rough patch? What do you mean?" Matteo frowned, "Alessandro, don't make the same mistake again. She needs you and your time, especially now that she's carrying your baby. I've seen how precious she is to you, so don't do anything foolish to lose her again, Matteo warned his stubborn mafia best friend. "If she leaves you this time, she'll never come back.

"I know, and I'm trying to cope with the problems in my life. Sometimes it makes me think that Aria and the kids would be better off without me in their lives, Alessandro muttered, his voice heavy with guilt and

remorse.

"Shut up. Don't let those negative thoughts take over," Matteo scolded his stubborn friend. "Your wife and kids love you, Alessandro. If you can't see how much they need you, then maybe you should get your eyes checked"

Alessandro chuckled lightly. "Alright, Mr. Lawyer. Now let's focus on the task at hand," he said, feeling relieved to have a friend who always showed him the right path when he was lost.

With the Marino gang and the Centre interfering in his life, he barely had time to think straight. But after talking to Matteo, Alessandro gained clarity, and his determination to keep his family safe and intact with him was strengthened once again. "Keep me updated on any new findings about the culprit behind the attacks on Emily," Alessandro said.

"Don't worry about her, I'm almost at her place, Matteo replied in a dark tone, his fierce determination to protect Emily resurfacing. "I'm taking her to my home, and she'll stay there until the threat is completely removed"

Chapter 183 The Ruthless Attorney

Finished

"Hmm," Alessandro nodded, even though they were only speaking over the phone, and then ended the call.

A few minutes later, Matteo arrived at Emily's place and rushed inside to see her. As he entered the apartment, a wave of fury hit him when he saw Emily sting on the couch in her pajamas. Her eyes were dull, and her face still bore traces of fear. But the moment her beautiful eyes fell on Matteo, she stood up with a glimmer of hope in her gaze as her eyes locked with his intense orbs. Something snapped inside Matteo, and he couldn't help but remove his jacket in a swift movement, wrapping it around Emily's shoulders before pulling her into his embrace.

Emily hesitated, taken off guard by Matteo's protective gesture.

"Are you okay, gorgeous?" he murmured into her car, his deep, husky voice sending a shiver through her.

Matteo pulled back slightly, still holding her in his arms, his gaze locked deeply with hers. His concerned eyes roamed over her face before he stepped back further, scanning her body for any signs of harm. Relief flooded his eyes when he saw that Emily was unharmed. "I'll kill them all for trying to scare you," he growled, his face twisting dangerously with fury,

"I'm fine. No need to worry, Emily gasped, startled by the attorney's fury. Her hand instinctively flew to Matteo's chest, as if trying to soothe his loud and angry heartbeat beneath her palm. Matteo's eyes locked with Emily's, finding concern and worry in her gaze. For a moment, he forgot the world around them

"What I don't understand is why someone would want to hurt me when I've never done wrong to anyone! Emily muttered, confusion and fear clouding her beautiful eyes again, intensifying Matteo's desire to eliminate whoever was responsible.

*Babe, you're so naive," Matteo sighed, shaking his head. "You still don't understand that there's only one person who wants to see you dead." His jaw clenched tightly as he spoke.

"D-dead?!" Emily stammered, her eyes widening in real terror.

"Yes, because the attackers were professional mercenaries," he declared, causing Emily to gasp as her heart sank with the realization. Who could hate her so intensely, to the point of wanting her dead?
