The Mafia heiress

Replacing lalisa? Never

"Guard, are you doing your job well? What's my own with her? Why is she holding me?" Sage asked the guards.

"We are sorry, Miss. We'll get going now," the guards said, dragging the maid up.

"Miss, young Miss, please help me!" the maid kept calling on Sage as she was dragged out.

"If not that I'm in a good mood, I would have asked the guards to add more to her punishment for calling me 'young Miss.'"

In Mr deluca's room

"Oh Madina, my daughter is around. Let's get dressed. I'm sorry that maid made you angry," Mr deluca told Madina.

"It's okay sweetheart, let's go and meet my stepdaughter—oh, I mean my daughter," Madina said, putting her gown on.

Mr deluca held Madina's waist and they walked downstairs to meet Sage.

"Wait a minute, honey, why can't Sage come to greet you in your room?" Madina asked.

"She would never come to that room since her mother died. She hasn’t stepped foot in that room, even her sisters have," Mr deluca answered.

Madina continued talking, "Really? It must have been very painful for her. Don't worry, I will take care of her as my daughter."

In the living room

Sage ran and hugged her father, Mr deluca. "Dad, I missed you so, so much! How have you been? I'm happy to see you."

Her father hugged her tightly. "Oh, my baby has grown up more than she used to be. I’m so happy to see you too. Oh my, see my baby—looking good, sexy, and shiny like always."

"Thanks, Daddy. You look more handsome too. I can hardly tell you missed me," Sage said.

"I missed you so, so much. As much as 100%," Mr deluca replied.

"Really? Where are my sisters and how is their schooling going? I was thinking maybe you should transfer them to Raven High," Sage asked her father. Sage didn't even act like she saw anyone else besides her dad.

"Your sisters? I already sent them abroad, and they’re doing well. Their schooling is going great," Mr savage replied.

Mr savage continued, "Do you remember I told you I needed to tell you something the day I called you?"

"Yes, that's true," Sage replied.

Mr deluca held Madina's hand. "This person here is..."

Sage cut in, "Dad, she’s the new maid, right?"

"Honey, what does she mean?" Madina asked.

"Sage, let me let her introduce herself," Mr deluca told her.

Madina wanted to hug Sage. She came close. "I'm your new..."

Sage moved aside, allowing Madina to fall.

Madina stood up and dusted herself. "I understand you don't know me before, so it’s okay you reacted like this. I'm your mum now, Sage. So you are my daughter. Hope you understand."

Sage looked very curious. "Dad, what rubbish is this woman spouting? Like, are you crazy? Do you have something wrong with your brain? My mum? Who told her she deserves to be my mum?"

Mr deluca held Sage. "Sage, what she's saying is true. She will be your stepmum now. I’m going to marry her."

"Dad, stop joking with me. Enough of this, please!" Sage shouted. "You’re joking, right? Because there’s no way you will marry this plaything. Not on my watch. She’s not even fit to be your plaything either."

Madina started acting weird. She started crying. "Honey, your daughter said I'm a plaything. Me? A plaything?"

"Madina, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm so sorry. I’ll take care of this, relax okay," Mr deluca said, leading Madina to sit on the sofa.

"Dad, make it clear to this fool that no one can take Lalisa’s place—the only wife of Mr deluca, the head of the Mafia clans, and the mother of his children. No one, unless the person is ready to die. That’s the only way someone will try to take my mother’s place. Get that straight in your head!" Sage said angrily.

Mr deluca slapped Sage. "I will marry her. You won't dictate for me. Get that straight into your head!"

Sage looked surprised, clapping slowly. "Dad, you slapped me because of this homewrecker? Daddy, you slapped Sage?" Sage walked out and went straight to her room.

Madina stood up and held Mr deluca’s hand. "Honey, I hope what you did won’t spoil my relationship with your daughter. She seems very angry. You shouldn’t have slapped her, you know she would be upset seeing me come to display as her mother."

"Madina, calm down. I’ve never raised my hand to Sage before, but because I love you, I did. She made a huge mistake. Her mother has never left my mind. I’m getting her a new mum for her own benefit," Mr deluca said angrily.

Sage now dressed confidently—her jeans and her top matching perfectly. She walked past the living room.

"Honey, call Sage and apologize please, for me. Do it for me, okay?" Madina pleaded with Mr deluca.

"Sage! Come back here now!" Mr deluca shouted.

Sage ignored him like she didn’t hear and went out. "Hey driver, drive me to the company now."

"Yes, ma’am," the driver replied quickly because he could tell Sage wasn’t in a good mood.

Sage entered the car and the driver drove off. Mr deluca, running slowly because of old age, shouted, "Stop! Stop!"

After 20 minutes, Sage told the driver to turn. She wanted to get something at the supermarket.

The driver said, facing the rearview mirror, "Ma’am, it won’t be good if you go alone. Your bodyguards are at the company. It’s not safe for you to wander around all by yourself. There may be people wanting to hurt you."

Sage shouted, "Are you crazy?! Turn right now! You won't be the one to tell me what to do, fool."

The driver apologized quickly. "I’m sorry ma’am. I’ll turn right now. I’m really sorry."

The driver turned to the right, heading to the main road. Noise was coming from afar, like a crowd cheering as if they’d seen a celebrity.

Sage, talking to herself, said, "I think I have to inform my sisters that their dad brought in a mistress, calling her their stepmum." She took out her phone and dialed a number.

Getting to the roundabout, Sage’s car and another car clashed.

"Ah! What the f**k?! Driver, can’t you watch where you’re going?" Sage said in pain.

"I’m sorry, Madam. It’s not my fault. That car bumped into us."

"Oh really? I’ll show them what it means to offend me now," Sage said, getting out of the car.

Leo, the number one Visenson family heir, also got out of the other car. His bodyguard tried to restrict him, telling him to sit down and let him handle it, but he insisted.

Sage’s driver rushed out of the car. "Ma’am, please go back in. I will take care of it."

Sage shouted, "Take care of it you say? If you say one more word I will slap you, and it will sound like a thunder strike!"

Sage and Leo made eye contact. Sage walked angrily, her aura confident and powerful. Leo also walked toward her, his presence commanding power and wealth.

Before they could reach each other, the crowd ran from the back shouting, "Sage deluca and Leo Visenson! Why are they looking so fierce toward each other?"
