Chapter 79 - Narrate All His Crimes

"Don't," Alberto begged her. He couldn't bear to hear what he had done. Elena Moore was his biggest sin. What he had done to her didn't let him sleep at night. 

Only he knew how badly he wanted to go back to time and undo everything! 

"You broke her… you broke her physically and mentally… she never cursed you even in the end. She cursed her rotten fate," Isabelle spoke in a chilly voice.

Today, she was going to narrate all the crimes he had committed. 

"Even after escaping your dungeon, she couldn't escape the horrors you had inflicted on her…" 

"She took her life in front of me… she said she couldn't meet my eyes and so she was freeing me of having a dirty mother… you took everything from me, Albert. Tell me how can I let you and anyone associated with her death go just like that?"

"Your son and daughter-in-law were her so-called friends...they turned their faces when she begged them to help her… how can I spare them?" 

"Only if they had told Lucien, my mother would have been with me…" 

This man not only killed her only family but was a party in Lucien's death too. When she reached the Scuderi family, it was too late. He was gone just like her mother. She had taken the resolve to help Persephone run out of this family. She secretly helped her to run away and Persephone had almost succeeded but in the end, she was caught because of this man's grandson. The man who was supposed to give Persephone a second life away from this heinous family was killed right before her eyes.

Persephone had become a never vanishing stain on the flawless Marino family. 

Tears leaked out of Albert's eyes but he couldn't even wipe them.

"What's the point in crying now? I just made you count a tiny percent of your crimes?" Isabelle said indifferently. Chuckling to herself, she continued, "What are you gonna do when I tell your son that you are the murderer of his family?" 

She was pretty sure that Geoffrey and his wife were dead by now. However, she was surprised as no one until now was aware of that. 

Whatever! Her task was completed. The three of her mother's murderers were dead. 

"Don't do this, Belle," The old man said in a broken voice. "I can't even express in words how guilty I am for doing what I did to Elena. I loved her truly." 

This old pervert claimed to love every woman other than his wife.

His son would hate him if he knew what he had done to his wife. 

He was stupid if he thinks Isabelle only know this much. She knew each and everything about this old man. If not she wouldn't have spent almost a decade with him and his family. 

Looking at him, she added, "Even if I won't tell your son about the truth of his mother's death, what do you think will happen if Don Marino gets to know how you helped his biggest enemy who also happened to be his son?"

His family would be destroyed if Don Marino got to know how he betrayed him by helping one of his greatest enemies… 

"Let's make a deal, Albert Scuderi. You will answer my questions and I will take your secret with me to the grave," Isabelle whispered. "I know you will never believe me but no one better than you knows that there is nothing like my words. I can die but will not break my words." 

Albert's face clearly said that he didn't believe her. 

However, when one is on the brink of death, one can't think about anything but the atonement of their sins. 

He had loved Elena with all his heart. But she never looked at him with that gaze. She respected him as an elder. And never had any kind of romantic feelings for him. He was always Geoffrey's dad for him. Nothing more. 

Penelope Marino knew about his romantic feelings for her sister. She has warned him several times to stay away from her. But he, who was a fool in love, always looked for other ways to spend time with Elena. 

His wife was a big thorn by his side. He just wanted to be with one he loved. But she snitched on him to Penelope. And Penelope warned him that if he didn't stop himself, she would ask her husband to punish him. 

Frightened by her threats, he distanced herself from Elena. But when Penelope died, he was over the moon. No one would stop him from approaching Elena. Even his old hag of the wife. 

However, at that time, Elena chose to run away with that Bastard. Dante Kingsly. The greatest enemy of Alessandro Marino. Also the current head of one of the rival mafia families. When he found Elena years later on Don Marino's order, she was mother to Dante's child and on the run… 

He had no idea why she had left Dante Kingsley and why she wasn't his wife even though she was the mother of his child. But did he care? No, he just wanted to be with her. Taking advantage of the situation, he captured Elena in his basement and… did all the unspeakable things to her. 

He never told Don Marino that he caught her. Because if he did, he would have to hand her over to Don Marino. And how could he, the biggest fool in love, let it happen? 

In the end, Elena escaped from the basement with the help of his wife. 

One had to know that Albert's wife didn't help Elena out of goodwill. She hated that woman the most in the world. How could she save Elena, the woman for whom her husband had gone berserk? 

She helped her to escape to save her position in the Scuderi family. 

She was also the same person who helped Elena in protecting Isabelle as Elena knew that she wouldn't be able to live for a long time.
