Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Control Freak Ⅱ
"What are you doing here? And by the way, I can pay for my drink," I said, trying to avoid looking directly at him.

"I know, but this one's on me," Alex insisted with a smile. The bartender served my shots, and I downed one in one go.

"Woah! Easy there, baby girl," Alex chuckled at my lack of experience with strong liquor.

"As if you care," I retorted sarcastically.

"I do. Otherwise, I shouldn't be here," he replied with a serious tone, making me pause for a moment.

"Sarah, let's da-" Julia started to say as she tugged at my hand but stopped in the middle of her sentence when she saw Alex.

"Hi!" Julia exclaimed with a fan-girl smile, clearly excited to see him.

Alex was polite enough to acknowledge her. "Hey! You must be Julia," he said, flashing his million-dollar smile.

Julia started jumping up and down with excitement. "Oh my God! Oh my God! He knows my name," she said, shaking her hand in the air. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her reaction.

It was strange seeing Alex here. As far as I knew, he had nothing to do with this side of the city, but then again, Alex had always been good at hiding things. Still, there was something comforting about his presence amidst this tense atmosphere.

I took another shot of tequila, feeling the liquid burn its way down my throat. Maybe I needed the courage to confront Alex about why he was here. But before I could say anything else, the club's lights flickered, and the music abruptly stopped.

A hush fell over the room as the door swung open, and a figure emerged from the darkness. The atmosphere instantly changed, and everyone seemed to tense up. I knew who it was even before he stepped into the

light.

Salvatore "The Shadow" Moretti, the boss of this city's most powerful mafia family. His reputation preceded him, and his presence commanded respect, fear, and even admiration from those involved in the underworld. I regretted coming to this place far away from our city.

I glanced at Alex, whose expression remained neutral, but I could sense a subtle shift in his demeanor. Even he couldn't ignore the weight of

Salvatore's presence.
