Isabella.

Rocco finds me in the garden just after noon. I’m sitting under one of the tall trees, trying to focus on a book, but the words keep blurring together. My thoughts won’t stay still.

He walks up with that half-smile of his, the one that always makes me wonder what he's hiding.

"Hey Isabella What'sup" he says.

I glance up. "Hi Rocco"

"Matteo wants you on tonight’s mission."

I blink. “Seriously?”

He nods. “Told me himself.”

A wave of surprise, then excitement rolls through me. My stomach flips. I want to run to Matteo and ask him what changed, but I stop dead in my tracks when I remember how cold he's been to me.

“Thanks,” I say, standing. “I’ll be ready.”

I spend the rest of the day preparing. Going over everything I’ve learned. My hands tremble a little when I lace up my boots, but it’s not fear—it’s anticipation.

When night falls, I make my way down to the garage. A few of the men are already there—Enzo, Alexander, Rocco, and two others I don’t know well.

They all glance

  • An Assassin's Love : His To Possess.   Chapter Thirty Five.

    Isabella. I didn’t go near Matteo the next morning. I told myself it was for the best. I wasn’t here to fall in love, anyway. I was here to get stronger, get revenge, and forget everything else. I didn’t need him for that. I could do it all on my own.Even when everyone else went to check on him.Rocco, Enzo, even Luca who barely liked him.I stayed back. I stayed in the training ground, pouring all my anger into every shot and every throw. My fingers wrapped tight around the knife as I sent it flying, hitting the target dead center. My heart pounded in my chest. My mind was all over the place.The image of Laura brushing her hands over Matteo’s chest played again in my head, again and again, like a sick loop. And then the way he told me to leave... like I didn’t matter.Fine.If he wanted a war, I’d give him one.I picked up another knife and threw it with so much force my arm stung. I barely noticed Luca until he ducked behind me, hands up."Easy, mafia queen," he joked. "Trying

    Matteo.Pain greeted me before my eyes even opened. A sharp, throbbing ache pulsed through my ribs, each breath a reminder of the bullet that had torn through me. I blinked against the dim light filtering into the room, the ceiling above unfamiliar yet comforting in its stillness.Turning my head slightly, I spotted her. Isabella. Curled up on the couch, her hair a tangled halo around her face, lips parted in sleep. She looked peaceful, vulnerable even. The sight stirred something deep within me, something I wasn't ready to name.Memories of the mission flooded back—the chaos, the gunfire, the searing pain. And then, her face. Tear-streaked, eyes wide with fear as she begged me not to close mine. That image clung to me, more potent than any painkiller.I recalled the earlier scene with Luca. Seeing her on his back had ignited a fury I hadn't expected. A possessive, irrational rage that had no place in my world. She was playing a game, trying to provoke me. And damn it, it worked

  • An Assassin's Love : His To Possess.   Chapter Thirty Three.

    Isabella.For a moment, I thought I saw it. That flicker of something behind Matteo’s eyes—jealousy. The way his gaze locked onto me riding on Luca’s back. It was quick, gone before I could catch it properly. Maybe I imagined it.But then, just like that, he looked away. No words. No reaction. He turned to Laura, said something to her, and walked her straight out of the estate like nothing happened.The way my stomach twisted shouldn’t have surprised me anymore. But it did.I climbed off Luca’s back, my smile gone. I hated how stupid I felt. How I had expected something, anything. A glare. A possessive word. A sign that he cared.But there was nothing.“Stupid,” I muttered under my breath. “You’re so stupid, Isabella.”“Whoa,” Enzo’s voice broke through the air. He was walking toward us with Alexander, both of them looking amused and confused.“Luca,” Alexander said, raising a brow, “do you have a death wish? Carrying Matteo’s wife like that?”I rolled my eyes. “Relax. Matteo doesn

  • An Assassin's Love : His To Possess.   Chapter Thirty Two

    Isabella. Dr. Laura showed up at the villa again today. I had barely stepped into the hallway when I heard her heels clicking against the marble floor, that sharp, annoying sound like she was announcing her arrival to the entire world. Anna was doing better. Her face looked healthier this morning, and she even managed a smile. But that didn't make me feel any better about Laura being here again. She was all over the place—smiling at Rocco, chatting with Hugo, pretending not to notice me. But I could see her eyes scanning for Matteo. As always. I told myself it didn’t matter. That Anna needed a doctor. That Laura was here for that, nothing else. Still, the pit in my stomach burned. Enzo met me out at the training grounds. We started with light sparring. My arms ached from the last session, but I welcomed the burn. It distracted me. Until I saw them. Matteo and Laura were standing by the balcony, talking. Laura laughed and touched his arm, leaning in like

    Isabella. I opened the door gently. The room was warm and quiet. Light slipped through the curtains and fell across the bed. Anna sat up against a pillow, her long hair falling over her shoulder. Her eyes were tired but clear. She looked at me and gave a weak smile. I smiled back and walked in slowly. “Hey… how are you feeling?” She nodded. “Better. Thank you.” Her voice was soft. I moved closer and pulled the chair beside the bed. I sat down and took a breath. “Do you remember what happened? How you ended up there?” She looked down at her hands. “Yes,” she whispered. “I remember.” I waited quietly. She started speaking, her voice shaky at first. “My name is Anna,” she said. “I have a younger brother. His name is Hugo.” My breath caught for a second. Hugo. “We lived with our parents. Just a normal life. Until they came.” She paused, eyes getting watery. “Rossi’s men.” I could feel my heart squeezing in my chest. I didn’t speak. I just listened. “They wanted me

    Isabella. MatteoLayla's hand slides around my arm again. She laughs softly at something Rocco says, but I’m not even listening. I’m watching Isabella.She’s standing near the hallway, her arms crossed. Her face is calm, too calm. But I know her now. Her eyes are sharp, jaw tight. She’s pissed.And I like it.Layla squeezes my arm tighter, like she wants to glue herself to me. Her fingers are too familiar. Too fake.Isabella’s eyes narrow for a second, then she turns and walks away.Something sharp pulls in my chest.Layla leans closer. “You seem tense. I could—”“Stop,” I say, my voice low.She blinks. “Sorry. I thought—”“Come with me,” I say, walking ahead without looking back.She follows quickly, heels clicking behind me.I take her to the study. As soon as we step in, I shut the door behind us. I turn around.“That’s enough,” I say.She tilts her head. “What do you mean?”“Leave.”“I can help you relax—”“I said leave, Layla.”She opens her mouth, but I step closer. My jaw is t
