Isabella

Sofia burst into the penthouse like a ray of sunshine, all bright smiles and excited chatter, her lighter brown hair bouncing in its ponytail as she spun to take in the massive space.

"Oh my God, Bella! This place is AMAZING!" She rushed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, pressing her hands against the glass. "You can see all of Manhattan! This is like something out of a movie!"

Isabella forced a smile, her stomach twisting with guilt. "It's nice, isn't it?"

"Nice? NICE?" Sofia whirled a

  • The Don's Obsession    CHAPTER 69: Aftermath

    IsabellaIsabella sat in the hospital cafeteria at seven in the morning, both hands wrapped around a cup of tea she wasn't drinking, watching the world pretend to be normal outside the window. People walked past with coffee cups and briefcases, completely unaware that twelve hours ago, the Manhattan ballroom had been a war zone.Sofia sat across from her, their mother's locket clutched in her fingers, her lighter brown hair still disheveled from the night's chaos. She hadn't spoken in twenty minutes. Neither had Isabella."I killed someone," Sofia said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "I mean…..Catalina was already dead….but I didn't know that. I pulled the trigger thinking I was….""Saving my life," Isabella interrupted gently. "Which you were. Which you did. Sofia, you were brave and quick and….""I'm pre-med," Sofia interrupted. "I'm supposed to save lives. Not—not end them. And I know Catalina deserved it. I know she was a monster. But Bella….." Her wide innocent brown

    IsabellaIsabella stood in the hospital corridor at dawn, her blood-stained emerald gown replaced by borrowed scrubs, facing Agent Morrison across a small table covered in files and recording equipment. Outside the window, New York was waking up—oblivious to the night's devastation, the bodies, the betrayals, the explosion that had killed Agent Chen.Dante was two doors down, under medical observation. Furious. Demanding Isabella stop negotiating without him. She could hear him arguing with the agents keeping him in his room.She ignored it and focused on Morrison."Here's what I have," Isabella said, sliding the phone with Antonio's full confession across the table. "Complete audio recording. Antonio Russo confessing to embezzlement, to my father's murder, to coordinating with three alliance families. Clear. Detailed. Admissible."Morrison picked up the phone, playing a brief section, her sharp eyes assessing. "This is good. But Mrs. Valentino, we need more than one dead man's confes

    IsabellaIsabella stared at the photo of Catalina—alive, smiling, triumphant—while federal agents processed Marco and chaos swirled around them. Her hands shook so violently she nearly dropped the phone."Dante," she whispered, showing him the message. "Dante, she's alive. Catalina's……she's alive."Dante's steel-gray eyes went cold as he read the message, his powerful frame tensing with barely controlled rage. "That's impossible. Sofia shot her. Three times. We saw her fall. We saw…..""We saw what she wanted us to see," Isabella interrupted, realization crashing over her. "The body. The blood. The ... .oh God, Dante. What if it wasn't her? What if she had someone else wear her clothes? What if……""What if she planned her own death from the beginning," Dante finished grimly. He turned to Agent Morrison who was coordinating with crime scene investigators. "Morrison. The body you're processing. Check the ID. Check everything. I think……" He showed her the phone. "I think Catalina Russo

    DanteDante stared at Marco—his brother in everything but blood, his underboss for twenty years, his most trusted friend—lying wounded on the restaurant floor with Sofia's gun still smoking in her trembling hands."You," Dante said, his voice hollow. "All this time. It was you.""It was me," Marco confirmed, his warm hazel eyes that had always held loyalty now cold with something Dante couldn't recognize. "For six months. Planning. Coordinating with Catalina. Feeding her information. Positioning Lorenzo. Setting up every piece on the board while you were too busy falling in love to notice your kingdom crumbling.""Why?" The word tore from Dante's chest. "Twenty years, Marco. Twenty years of brotherhood. Of loyalty. Of…..of everything we built together. Why betray that? Why betray me?""Because you betrayed us first," Marco said, trying to sit up despite the bullet in his shoulder. "The moment you married her……." He gestured to Isabella with contempt. "The moment you let some restaurant

    IsabellaIsabella sat in the back of an FBI van outside Bella Notte, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, watching crime scene investigators swarm through the restaurant that had been her family's legacy. Catalina's body was being photographed, documented, and removed. The place where Isabella's mother had cooked, where her father had welcomed guests, where she'd built a life from ruins—now it was a crime scene."Mrs. Valentino?" Agent Morrison slid into the seat beside her, her expression professional but not unkind. "I need to take your statement. About what happened here. About Catalina's death. About….about everything.""Sofia shot her," Isabella said, her voice hollow. "In self-defense. Catalina was going to kill us. Sofia saved our lives.""I know," Morrison said gently. "We have the recording from Catalina's phone. We have witness testimony from your husband, from Marco, from you. Sofia's not being charged. This was clearly self-defense. But Isabella…." She paused. "We need

    IsabellaWhere it all started. Where your father died. Where the debt was born. Where your marriage began.Isabella stared at Catalina's riddle, her mind racing while Marco's breathing grew shallower in her arms. Four minutes. She had four minutes to solve this and save both men she loved."The restaurant," she whispered, realization crashing over her. "Bella Notte. That's where Dante first came to collect the debt. Where he proposed the contract. Where it all started."She called 911 for Marco, giving rapid instructions to the operator, then grabbed a nearby police officer. "This man needs immediate medical attention. Poison. Tell them to prepare for ricin exposure protocol. And….and tell them to send whatever antidote they have to Lenox Hill Hospital, room 847. There's another victim there.""Ma'am, you can't just….""Do it!" Isabella commanded with such force the officer actually stepped back. "Or two men die in the next three minutes and their blood is on your hands."She was alre
