Chapter 33: I have to tell him

last update Dernière mise à jour: 2025-07-02 22:03:49

Alessa paced about the length of the lavish bedroom, the sound from her boot was barely audible because of the plush Persian rug. “Vittorio Morretti’s daughter,” she said as she laughed a little. That truth pressed on her chest and felt like a Brand. “This contradicts everything I know and believe in.” She murmured.

Isabella lay on the bed, watching her pace about with a smirk. “You’re overthinking this sorellina” she drawled from the bed, twirling a strand of jet-black hair around her finger, that infuriating smirk still playing on her lips.

“Overthinking you say, is that what you really want to describe this as?” She snarled as she stopped walking and faced Isabella directly. “I've been lied to my whole life… by the people I loved the most. And in the end, I still got betrayed by them. And you have the gall to say I’m overthinking.”

Isabella’s smirk vanished. She sat up slowly, the silk sheets pooling around her waist. “Not telling you anything is not equivalent to lying to you. I

  • She's an Assassin: Falling for the Enemy    Chapter 151: The Endgame

    Isabella paced the grand room of Vittorio’s mansion, the dim light of the chandeliers casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. Her mind was a storm of ambition, fury, and frustration. Every plan she had spent years crafting, every calculated move she had made to claim power within the Vittorio Mafia Clan, felt suddenly fragile—precarious.Vincenzo stood silently in the corner, arms crossed, watching her, his expression a mixture of concern and quiet resignation. He had tried to warn her, to show her that some battles weren’t worth fighting alone, but Isabella was deaf to reason. She had always been stronger than anyone thought, and she wasn’t about to give in to fear—not now, not ever.“I’ve built everything for this,” Isabella said, her voice shaking but firm. “Every ally, every connection… every move I’ve made. If I fail now, everything I’ve worked for disappears. I can’t just run, Vincenzo. I refuse to be a fugitive.”Vincenzo’s gaze softened, his voice low and steady

    Isabella lay breathlessly on the silk sheets, her chest rising and falling, her skin flushed with the afterglow of a pleasure she had never known before. The room was dimly lit, scattered pieces of their clothing littering the polished marble floor. Vincenzo stood at the balcony drawer, pulling the curtains slightly open to let in some moonlight, his back glistening with sweat.He turned, eyes soft, watching her as if he had just witnessed a miracle.Isabella smirked, stretching lazily like a satisfied predator. “I underestimated you,” she murmured. “Terribly, Vincenzo.”He walked back toward the bed, his steps slow, deliberate. The air between them still charged.“I told you,” he whispered, sitting beside her. “You don’t know everything about me.”She let out a small amused laugh, brushing her hair behind her ear. “Apparently not.”Vincenzo leaned down and kissed her—slow, deep, deliberate. And Isabella froze for half a second. His kiss wasn’t lust‑driven like before. It was… tender.

    Nilo plugged the tiny flash drive into his main terminal with a seriousness Alessa hadn’t seen from him since high school—the night he hacked into the school’s administrative system just to change her failing math grade because the teacher hated her. This time, however, the stakes were no longer teenage vendettas or petty pranks. This was life, death, and the future of an entire criminal empire hanging in the balance.The monitors flickered to life as Nilo typed, strings of encrypted symbols racing across the screen.Alessa stood behind him, arms crossed, her foot tapping impatiently. Though she trusted Nilo, her nerves were frayed. The air in the lab felt too still, too tense. Every second wasted felt like another inch of ground Gloria gained.“Okay,” Nilo murmured, sliding his chair closer to the screen. “I’m going to run a deep scan, bypass the trackers, and mirror the data. Gloria’s phone has five-level encryption… and one of the strongest anonymizing firewalls I’ve ever seen. If

    The lab was quiet except for the low hum of servers and the soft tapping of Nilo’s fingers against the keyboard. Alessa sat beside him, a cup of lukewarm coffee in her hands, staring at the lines of code and encrypted files sprawled across the monitors. She had come here burdened with the weight of betrayal, with Gloria’s schemes looming over her, and yet, in this small sanctuary of blinking lights and whirring fans, she felt… almost human again.Nilo glanced at her, eyes bright behind his thick glasses. “So… Luca?” he asked, a teasing edge in his voice. “Still alive, still being heroic, still causing chaos for the world?”Alessa laughed softly, the sound almost foreign to her own ears. “Yes. And we’re expecting a child soon.” She smiled, a quiet glow spreading across her face. “He’s… really excited. As am I. Scared too, but… excited.”Nilo’s face lit up immediately, a genuine smile stretching wide. “Oh, that’s amazing! That’s really amazing, Alessa. You’re going to be an incredible m

    The hum of servers and soft beeping of monitors greeted Alessa as she stepped into Nilo’s lab. The smell of solder, electronics, and coffee hung in the air—a familiar, comforting scent that brought a rare sense of home to her frayed nerves.“Alessa!” A voice called out, high-pitched and exuberant. A figure emerged from behind a towering bank of screens—slender, slightly hunched, glasses perched precariously on his nose, a cable dangling from his pocket. Nilo.The nerdy tech genius who had been her friend since high school. The boy she had defended from bullies, who had once called her his “personal superhero.”Alessa couldn’t help but smile despite the tension knotted in her chest. “Nilo. It’s been too long.”Nilo rushed forward, arms open. “Way too long! I’ve been worried—your messages… radio silence. I thought—” He stopped mid-sentence, scanning her face, taking in the dark circles under her eyes and the tension in her shoulders.“I’m… alive,” she said simply. It was the truth and e

    Isabella stood outside her father’s office, her heels clicking impatiently against the marble floors as she waited for Vittorio to finish his call. She heard the tone of his voice—cold, clipped, irritated—and her instincts sharpened. When Vittorio spoke like that, it was either business… or Gloria.The moment the call ended, Isabella stepped into the doorway.“Who were you talking to, Father?” she demanded, folding her arms.Vittorio massaged his temples, not even looking up at her. “Gloria.”Her eyes sparked instantly with fury. “Then give me the order. Let me finish her off. Right now. Before she causes more damage.”“No.” Vittorio’s voice was firm—too firm for her liking.“No?” Isabella repeated, her voice rising. “No? After everything she’s done to us? After she ruined our deals? After she sent threats? After she destabilized the Iranians? You’re saying no?”“Yes,” Vittorio snapped finally, meeting her eyes. “And you will stay away from her, Isabella. Do you hear me? You have done
