My Daughter-in-Law Nearly Took My Life

"The engagement banquet ends now!"

Alessandro's sharp voice was heard across the chaos of the banquet hall. There was a series of indescribable emotions in his eyes.

When he entered the hall, the first thing his eyes caught was the woman lying on the floor with her exposed weak body. Initially he could not recognize it was his mother but then everything made sense.

"Who did this?" He growled, terrifying everyone standing there.

As a boss of the Bianchi Mafia Family, his words weighed heavy and that violence had to stop immediately.

Within no minutes, his mother's frail eyes turned to Isabella, standing frozen in shock.

"Alessandro…stop…," Isabella whispered, gasping for breath.

Without delay, his hands reached to his waistband. A metallic gold weapon came into light. The next moment, he pointed that gun in her direction and asked, "It's you, right?"

Beads of sweat covered her forehead, Isabella was trembling by seeing the undeniable wrath in Alessandro's eyes. She opened her mouth twice but no words came out.

"If anything happens to her," Alessandro growled, his voice stern and commanding. "I, the boss of Bianchi Mafia Family won't leave a single one of you standing here. You'll wish you would have never crossed me."

At that moment, Elizabeth's vision blurred with tears. She never thought that her son's wedding would turn into such a nightmare.

......

After working endlessly under the shadows abroad, Elizabeth Bianchi had returned to Rome to support her son, Alessandro who was going to get engaged to his girlfriend of two years, Isabella Morettis, daughter of a rival Mafia family.

"I thought this union would finally end the long-standing feud between the two families," he whispered under his breath, raking his fingers in his hair.

"But things aren't that simple," he added further.

The night before the engagement banquet, Alessandro had taken his mother to a luxurious restaurant for dinner. There they had a great conversation and later on, he posted a photo with his mother, Elizabeth along with a heartfelt caption.

You have been by my side all the way. Thank you, the most important woman in my life. Love you!

Elizabeth wished that her presence would convey her approval and acceptance of her son's choice. But little did she know that her bonafide intentions were about to trigger a storm.

Since her husband died, the sole reason for her survival was her son, Alessandro. But at that time, the responsibility of Bianchi's Family business fell on her shoulders. And she had no choice other than flying to New York City and taking care of it.

But now after so many years, she decided to show up. She dressed up most stunningly so that her son wouldn't be embarrassed in front of his in-laws.

Later that night, she heard Alessandro shouting frustratedly at his phone.

"I will kill that woman, Alessandro." The voice came from the other end of the device. "I, Isabella Morettis, is your fiance, mind that. I won't tolerate another woman in your life."

Before he could respond, the line was cut. The other moment, Alessandro threw the cell phone on the floor. Seeing that, Elizabeth ran in his direction.

"What happened?" She asked in a worried tone.

"Isabella, she is making senseless assumptions," he said angrily. "She wants to kill my mistress. How could I, Alessandro Bianchi, have one?"

Since the time he became the boss of the Bianchi Family, Elizabeth had rarely interfered in his relationships but that time, she cleared her throat and advised, "Marriage is always a union between two people. Right now, you are sitting on your father's chair, Alessandro. He was the most loyal man and so you should be."

She paused and then continued, "If I found out that you dared to cross Isabella, then I will teach you a lesson!"

"You know I can be anything but disloyal," Alessandro replied.

"You better not be. I don't care how many women you were associated with in the past. Since you have chosen Isabella now, cut all your ties with them," Elizabeth warned him.

She never expected that Alessandro and Isabella would fight over an unknown woman a day before their big day.

Mentally, she made a note that she was going to meet Isabella personally. At that moment, she would eventually give a present- a $17 million villa as a token of support and acceptance to her.

The next day, Elizabeth was preparing for the banquet very carefully. The beauty salon was a place where she was going to decide her final look for the grand occasion.

It was not just the engagement banquet but a place where she was finally going to be introduced as the mother of the Boss of the Bianchi Family.

Just when everything was ready and she was about to go, the door of the room opened.

She saw Isabella walking inside angrily along with her friends.

"What a surprise!" A smile adorned her lips as she started moving in her direction to greet and meet her in advance.

But before she could take a step ahead, Isabella's voice filled the air. Her tone filled with venom.

"So this is where you have been hiding?"
