Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 The Legacy
Carlo smiled, his eyes pleading. "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Please, let me throw this party for my daughter. I want to make up for my regret," he asked, looking towards Leonardo.

Leonardo was not going to agree. He despised Carlo for his irresponsible behavior towards Sofia. No matter how many times Carlo regretted his actions, Leonardo would never forgive him.

"No, Carlo. Sofia is now Morelli's daughter-in-law. You have to pay for your sins. You have no right over her after what you've done to her for so many years. She longed for her father's love, and you ignored her. This is your punishment. So we will be the ones to make this announcement. However, you are invited to this party, and of course, you can invite your guests as well," Alessandro interjected, turning towards Leonardo.

"...And Leonardo," Alessandro continued, locking eyes with his son, "make sure every influential name attends this party. It will be beneficial to make more connections and expand our territory. When they know that you are married to the heiress of the Ricci Empire, it will strengthen our position."

Leonardo knew his father would never change. He rolled his eyes in his mind but plastered a fake smile on his face and nodded.

"So, we will leave now. Keep me updated on the timing and venue. I will send you the guest list as well," Alessandro added, ready to depart.

As Alessandro and Carlo turned to exit through the door, Alessandro halted at the doorway and turned back towards Leonardo. He leaned against the doorframe, his expression serious.

"Leonardo, remember my words. Make sure she signs the papers. It's crucial for both you and Sofia," he emphasized. With that, he turned and left, disappearing through the door.

Leonardo couldn't help but frown. Why did Alessandro care so much about Sofia's property when the Ricci family already possessed immense wealth? Perhaps it was true that power and wealth made a man greedy for more.

Leonardo called for Domenico to come to his office, as he needed to discuss the party planning. He wanted it to be a grand celebration for Sofia. He had never celebrated anything significant regarding her presence in his life, and this time, he wanted to go all out to show his love for her.

He had been meaning to confess his love to her, but he hadn't found the time to make all the necessary arrangements. He wanted everything to be perfect, just as Sofia would like it: roses, balloons, chocolates, and strawberries. Everything should be as beautiful as she was when Leonardo proposed to her, asking her to marry him again, but this time for a real wedding.

Leonardo heard a knock on the office door, signaling Domenico's arrival.

"Good to see you fit and finally in the office," Domenico said, his mischievous smile evident as he entered.

"Good to see you too, Domenico," Leonardo replied, shaking his head at Domenico's playful remark.

"How much did you miss me today?" Domenico teased.

"If you're done, Domenico, can we focus on some serious work?" Leonardo glared at him.

"Okay, Boss, tell me. What's your order?" Domenico said, bowing playfully in front of Leonardo.

"Take a seat. I need to discuss something with you." Leonardo gestured towards the chair opposite him, and Domenico sat down.

"I want to make a formal announcement about Sofia's legacy, and for that, I want to organize a big party. My father wants to invite all the influential personalities to this event. So, make a list, start the preparations, and send out the invitations. Make sure to include Mr. Carlo Ricci and inquire about his guest list as well." Leonardo explained.

Domenico nodded. "Anything else?"

"You were right, Domenico," Leonardo said, his lips curling up as he thought about Sofia. She had brought brightness and happiness into his life. She had taught him to smile, trust, and love again. She was the reason he felt alive and wanted to live only for her.

"What is it about?" Domenico furrowed his brow, sensing Leonardo's urgency.

"I... I'm in love, Domenico. I'm in love with Sofia, and I want to confess my feelings to her," Leonardo blurted out, unable to contain his excitement any longer. He couldn't wait to reveal his love to Sofia. He hoped with all his heart that she would accept his love. He could sense her attraction towards him, but he desired nothing more than for her to love him back. He was willing to do anything to make her fall in love with him.

Domenico's eyes widened, and he swiftly rose from his chair, placing his hands on the table as he leaned forward. A mixture of surprise and joy spread across his face.

"Are you serious? That's incredible, Leonardo! Finally, you've realized it. I'm so happy for you," Domenico exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.

"I want to prepare a surprise for her, and I need your help," Leonardo requested.

"Just let me know what you have in mind to surprise her. I'll make all the arrangements at the snap of your fingers," Domenico replied, playfully snapping his finger. Leonardo smiled and nodded.

He was determined to make Sofia his forever and always, and this time, it would be real.
