Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Twenty-Three – Growing Desire
Isabella sank onto the couch with a soft groan, the warm evening air drifting in through the open windows, carrying a quiet relief from the chaos of the parking lot ambush. Her ankle throbbed, a sharp reminder that danger had been very real, very close. Ryan was already beside her, seated on the couch, his body angled carefully toward hers, his eyes focused and alert as they studied the swelling and bruising along her ankle. The intensity in his gaze was precise, professional, yet there was something else—a subtle undercurrent that made the air between them taut.“Let me handle this,” he said, his voice steady, authoritative, with a calmness that made Isabella’s pulse jump in ways the adrenaline alone could not explain. She nodded, trying to maintain composure, aware of how the soft curve of her leg brushed against his as he leaned closer.She adjusted herself slightly, bending her knees, and almost instinctively, Ryan took both her legs in his hands. Gently, almost reverently, he lif
Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Twenty-Two - The Attack
The late afternoon sun dipped low over the city, casting long shadows across the parking lot of the upscale restaurant. Isabella Romano had just exited with Marco, her ever-vigilant lawyer, when a subtle shift in the air caught her attention. Something was off. The warmth of the evening, the distant hum of traffic, all of it seemed to fade as her instincts screamed.Before she could fully process the sensation, a group of men materialized from the shadows near the far end of the lot. They moved quickly, silently, their intentions unmistakable. Isabella’s heart skipped, the reflexes she had honed over the years kicking in.“Move!” Marco barked, instantly positioning himself between her and the approaching figures.Two of the men lunged simultaneously, attempting to grab her. Pain shot through Isabella’s ankle as one of them caught her heel mid-step, twisting it sharply. She stumbled, barely keeping her balance.“Isabella!” Ryan’s voice cut through the chaos as he appeared at the edge o
Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Twenty-One – Crossed Paths
The restaurant was understated yet elegant, the sort of place where polished wood, soft golden lights, and the low hum of conversation could make anyone feel simultaneously at ease and exposed. Isabella Romano stepped through the entrance with the grace she had cultivated over a lifetime, heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She paused for a moment to adjust the strap of her bag and scanned the dining room. She wasn’t here for business, not officially. Just a quiet lunch, a pause in the storm of her life, a moment to breathe before diving back into the endless calculations of family strategy.Yet life rarely afforded pauses.As she moved toward a table near the window, her eyes caught an arrangement that made her chest tighten. Adriano De Luca and Gianna were already seated, sipping wine, their bodies turned slightly toward each other in a manner that seemed casual yet deliberate. Isabella’s first impulse was to turn and leave, to vanish into the quiet anonymity of the re
Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Twenty – Shadows in the De Luca Estate
The De Luca Estate was cloaked in the heat of the late afternoon, sunlight slanting through tall windows and illuminating dust motes that drifted lazily in the air. Adriano sat at his desk, the divorce documents from Isabella’s lawyer spread before him, and he stared at them as if willing them to vanish. The letters were official, cold in their precision, yet the thought of signing them brought a flicker of irritation that he could not shake. He pushed the papers aside and leaned back, his expression unreadable. For him, Isabella had been nothing more than a pawn, a tool in a long game of revenge against the Romano family.His mother entered the room with her usual measured grace, her hands lightly clasped in front of her. “Adriano, have you looked at these? The divorce papers?” she asked, her tone polite but carrying a subtle undercurrent of concern. She had always preferred Gianna to Isabella, seeing in her a daughter-in-law far more suited to the De Luca image, and the thought that
Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Nineteen – The First Betrayal
Isabella walked through the Romano Estate, the warm summer air brushing against her face as she moved along the familiar corridors. Her heels clicked softly on the polished floor, a rhythm that seemed at odds with the storm of thoughts swirling in her mind. She forced herself to appear calm, to blend in with the quiet elegance of the estate, but every detail around her screamed otherwise. Her cousin’s restless movements, the subtle way he shifted when he thought no one was watching, the faint tremor in his fingers when he adjusted a glass on the table—all these small, almost imperceptible gestures prickled at her instincts. Something was off, though she could not yet say what.She sank into a high-backed armchair in the main lounge, pretending to follow the conversation among the estate staff and family members. Her eyes, however, never left her cousin, who appeared increasingly uneasy. Every laugh he forced, every casual nod, seemed strained. Isabella cataloged each subtlety, each fl
Her Mafia Husband's Secret Agenda Chapter Eighteen – Secrets in the Shadows
Isabella stepped into the grand, dimly lit library of the Romano estate, the familiar scent of aged wood and leather surrounding her. The day had been long, filled with meetings and briefings about family business, yet a lingering unease had been gnawing at her. Her instincts, honed through years of navigating the treacherous world of power and alliances, whispered that there were truths hidden just beyond her reach—truths that might shatter everything she thought she knew.Her eyes fell upon a leatherbound tome resting on the highest shelf, its spine cracked and edges worn. She had seen it before, during quiet moments in her father’s study, but had never dared to open it fully. Today, however, curiosity and necessity compelled her. With careful fingers, she lifted the book and pulled it down, the heavy weight of history pressing against her hands.As she flipped through the pages, her heart quickened. Documents, letters, and meticulously detailed accounts sprawled across the pages. S
