The Price of Betraying a Mafia Princess Chapter 03

The Price of Betraying a Mafia Princess Chapter 03

By the time we arrived, the preschool entrance was already packed with luxury cars.

Not long after, Luca’s car appeared, and Iris stepped out of the back seat with Noah in her arms.

“Mr. Davis! Mrs. Davis!” the admissions director said warmly as she hurried over. “You’re here. Please come in. The thank-you ceremony is about to begin.”

People surrounded them almost instantly.

“So that’s Luca Davis, the man who donated an entire playground.”

“He really doesn’t hold back when it’s for his own kid.”

“Of course. I heard he started from nothing and is worth over a hundred million now. Incredible.”

Luca’s eyes filled with pride as he listened.

He took Noah from Iris’s arms and said fondly, “I wouldn’t be where I am today without my wife working by my side. As long as my wife and Noah are happy, nothing is too much.”

The irony nearly made me laugh.

Iris helped him build his career?

Had he forgotten that without my father’s fifty-million-dollar investment, he’d still be working in sales at some small company?

Had he forgotten that without my access to the Moretti family’s network, he never would’ve landed those major projects?

Just as they were about to enter the preschool, I gave a cold laugh and stepped out of the car.

I took off my sunglasses, stared straight at Luca, and spoke just loud enough for everyone to hear.

“A man who built his career on Moretti money still has the nerve to keep a mistress and a bastard son. Impressive.”

The moment Luca saw me, his entire body went stiff.

Iris immediately clung to his arm, as if she were declaring ownership.

I walked up to them with a mocking smile. “Mr. Davis, you really do take good care of your employees. So good that you let one give birth to your child, then donated a playground just to make her happy. What a generous boss.”

A wave of shocked chatter broke out.

The way they looked at Iris changed instantly, from envy and admiration to contempt.

“What? That woman is his secretary?”

“So she’s the mistress? Does that mean Noah is a bastard?”

Iris went pale and burst into tears. “I’m not a mistress. Luca and I have been together for six years. Noah is already five.”

Then she lifted her pitiful face to Luca. “Luca, tell them. Isn’t that true?”

Luca finally snapped back to himself and glared at me. “Aurora, why are you here? What the hell are you trying to do?”

Then he pulled Iris tightly into his arms and turned to the crowd. “Everyone, I’m sorry you had to see this. She’s our housekeeper. She’s been delusional for years and keeps imagining she’s my wife.”

“Since she’s taken care of our home for so long, I never had the heart to fire her. I didn’t expect her to follow us here and cause a scene today.”

What?

For a second, I couldn’t believe what I had heard.

He had called me the housekeeper.

The people around us immediately shifted back to his side, pointing at me and whispering.

“So she’s a crazy maid?”

“Housekeepers have some nerve these days. She actually thinks she can become the lady of the house.”

“Look at what she’s wearing. How could a housekeeper afford that? She must’ve stolen Mrs. Davis’s clothes.”

“Shameless. She even dared to accuse the real Mrs. Davis of being a mistress.”

Just then, my phone buzzed.

It was a message from Iris: [See that? Luca chose me. Why didn’t he come home last night? Hard to guess, isn’t it? I was gonna let you off and not tell Luca you slapped me, but then you came here to humiliate yourself.]

A second later, a video popped up in the chat.

In it, Luca and Iris were in his office, tangled together in a filthy scene that turned my stomach.

No wonder Luca hadn’t come home last night.

So he had been busy.

But I didn’t understand one thing.

Where had Luca found the nerve to treat me like this?

Had he forgotten my father’s warning before our wedding?

Anyone who betrayed the Moretti family ended up as shark food.
