ISABELLA'S POV.

The underground mafia gathering is nothing short of a show off. The venue, a grand mansion with sprawling gardens and a dimly lit ballroom, illed with the most dangerous and influential figures in the mafia world.

Just as soon as we both alighted from the car, I felt every pair of eyes latch onto my skin, but good. They wanted a show; I'd gladly give them one.

“Remember... Don't make a fool of yourself, baby,” Luca mocked. Dropping a kiss against my earlobe, biting Sharply on it.

I had drawn a loud hiss, gritting my teeth at his bold actions; my eyes shot to his defiant blue ones; he was enjoying this. I nodded. A smirk straddling my lips as we both pushed forwards, he could gloat all he wanted now; I was dying to see just how he'd react when I'm done with him tonight.

A few steps into the hall, several feet approached Luca, each one bowing slowly to pay their respects to the don.

“Isabella, love, I'm afraid I have to leave you by yourself for a minute. Do you think

    LUCAS POV.A perfect coincidence. Wasn't it?The wanker who had challenged my authority as don twelve years ago when I had first become one happened to stand by my wife, kissing her on the head.Didn't he learn? I believed I had put him in his place twelve years ago, but I guessed he just couldn't pass off a chance to irritate me, only that it did more than irritate me; it made me want to bash his skull constantly with a hammer until there was nothing left but scrambles of brains and then broken skulls and oozing blood.I once enjoyed it, and now doing it twice didn't sound so bad.My eyes darted to Isabella's, who averted her gaze from mine almost immediately; she was scared...she knew she pissed me off. Crossed the fucking line this time... good.“Having fun?” I asked, corking up my eyebrow in his direction; he groaned with an eyeroll, pulling away from Isabella slowly, but still not enough space to my satisfaction.“I see you take my wife's silliness for interest.

    ISABELLA'S POV.He Bloody Cut Me.Yes, I wanted more. My legs parted on his command. A low growl erupting behind his words. My insides churned, I felt my cunt clench and unclench hearing those words.I dragged in sharper breaths, feeling the tip of the letter opener trail over my laps; his eyes flickered, and all I saw in them was pure rage and lust.“You drive me insane, Isabella; you make me want to bash your fucking skull against the wall and ride out your senses till your limbs go numb.” Luca grunted. This time I wasn't able to comprehend if it was his anger speaking or the lust clouding of his judgments.Yet a part of me hardly gave a single damn; I wanted this. It…him..fuck…I had sucked that cock, and my cunt wept for it, and now the glare passed in my direction, the narrowed gaze the way his Adam's apple bobbed as he trailed his eyes to the probably pooled spot on my panties.“Nasty freak you are…my little wife.” He murmured the warmth of his breath fanned against my skin,

    ISABELLA'S POV.Antonio was in fucking danger; it was because of me.I was a fool. What was I expecting? He was Luca Ricci, mafia don of all the underworld. How was I inane enough to think I could keep my affair with Antonino a secret from him, basically fucking right under his nose?I didn't hesitate or think twice; I knew that look in a man's eyes; it was envy, rage, and possessiveness, and Lucas eyes it was worse.I didn't have the time to question his reasons; I didn't have a reason to. I was his wife, willing or not, and I knew what it meant sleeping with the wife of a mafia mob.In fact, I was certain now that indeed Antonino and Luca had shared a bond than I beleived, if not, he would be fucking six feets beneath the earth by now.“Antonio, where is he?” I asked the guard holding a cigarette to his lips; he was quick to stomp on it. Flicking it off, fear weary in his eyes. “He is… right by the third room on the right,” the guard responded. He looked huge. Bulky just like thu

    .ISABELLA'S POV.Luca did not return. After breaking apart a man who had adored and worshipped me, I returned to an empty room. It worked better for me; it gave me the solitude I needed through the night as I bawled out my eyes, unable to stare at my own reflection in the mirror. I was no better than a monster; I knew that much already. Drawing a louder sigh, I washed up, and with a gnawing feeling at the pit of my belly, I refused to budge, so I slept in the bathroom using the duvet and pillow.Waking up this morning to my much disappointment, the bedroom was still empty... and I was sure as fuck, whatever it was that we did yesterday had ruined me, and anger brewed in me afresh at the situation of things between us.Corking up my head, I tucked in the last button to my shirt before walking out of the room. I got a knock a few minutes ago stating the meeting was over and so was the party we were leaving.I approached an open ground. Cars were parked around, and the bodyguard all s

I relished the discomfort she was in and how she stole occasional gazes at me, fire blazing in her eyes, yet she stilled, a lot hammered in her mind, but all for the sake of Antonio, she was mute, keeping her wild tongue on a leash; she knew how dangerous I could be, and she understood better than to second guess me.I wasn't sure if I ought to be proud to have instilled such lengths of fear in her. Not if I ought to ponder about why She was scared of me being Antonio but it did pull at a little string of my heart.I had lost control twice the previous day; there was no room for mistakes anymore...

I thrived on deception and manipulation.“I'm nothing like you,” I spat furiously, my grip firmer on the knife, his warm palm holding onto it as he pressed the tip harder into his flesh.Warm blood oozed from his temples, and I could see the broken shrads of glass embedded in his skin, and something about it made my heart topple over and over in a constant state of happiness.“You are everything like me, Isabella, just born in the wrong family, but what can we do? We are who we are.” He mumbled, his warm breath fanned across my skin as he spoke, sending tingles down my spine.Hi

    ISABELLA'S POV.I counted down every single second to twenty minutes before reaching out my back window. Dressed in a fitted jumpsuit and nothing but bare legs, I clung hard to the rails on the balcony.Swiftly, thankful to all my training over the year, I climbed from one rail to another edge, clutching my hand to window frames.Occasionally my hands slipped, and I faced death head-on, but I didn't make a single squeak noise knowing if I was caught, I'd be locked up in a far more terrible situation.My heart raced as I climbed off to the very first floor landing on my feet, which seemed to have caught a blister. I bit on my lower lip, cursing in Spanish before steering directly toward the main gates.I had no idea what the guard had done, but it worked. There were merely a few guards left in place…just a few whom I had manoeuvred my way around.Soon I was out of the estate, running as fast as I could, scared that one fuckup and they could tell I was gone, but maybe they wouldn't; no
