Isabella's POV

I needed to get out of this house. I needed space to think, to process everything that had happened, to figure out what my next move should be.

But more than that, I needed answers. And there was only one person who could give them to me.

I found Matteo in his office, poring over documents that I assumed had something to do with the Caroline assignment.

He looked up when I knocked on the doorframe.

"I need to leave the house today," I announced without preamble.

His expression

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Epilogue

    EpilogueThree weeks had passed since that night on the rooftop. Three weeks since Carla was arrested and my world turned upside down—or perhaps, right side up.I stood in front of the bedroom mirror, running my hand over my swollen belly. Eight months pregnant now. The baby had grown so much that simple tasks like tying my shoes had become impossible without help."You're getting huge." Gabi appeared in the doorway, grinning. "In a good way, obviously.""Obviously." I turned sideways, examining my profile. "I look like I've swallowed a watermelon.""A cute watermelon." She came in and sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you nervous? About the birth?""Terrified." I sat beside her. "But also excited. Does that make sense?""Completely." Gabi leaned her head on my shoulder. "I'm glad I'm here for this. That you're letting me be here.""Where else would you be?" I squeezed her hand. "You're my sister. This is your home now."It had taken some convincing to get Gabi to move into the estate

    Matteo POV We tumbled backwards, away from the edge. Carla's gun went off, the bullet whizzing harmlessly into the night sky.I held tight to Isabella, using my body to shield hers whilst Sophia and Dante moved in to disarm Carla. The gun clattered across the rooftop as they forced her to the ground."Leave her." Isabella's voice was muffled against my chest. "Let me finish this. Let me end her once and for all.""No." I held her tighter. "You don't have to be that person. You don't have to become the evil they once painted us to be.""But she deserves—""Yes. She deserves justice not revenge." I pulled back enough to look at her face. "You're better than this. Better than her."Isabella broke down completely then. Tears streamed down her face as she buried herself against my shoulder, her body shaking with sobs."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for everything. For lying to you. For putting you in danger. For—""Stop." I stroked her hair gently. "We'll deal with all of that later. Right now

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 116

    Isabella's POV I tried to duck behind a table, but Valentina was too fast. The knife was already coming down, aimed at my chest.A gunshot echoed through the stairwell.Valentina jerked sideways, the knife clattering from her hand. She collapsed, clutching her leg where blood was already spreading across her dress.I spun around to find Gabi standing there, a gun in her trembling hands. Her face was pale, her eyes wide with shock."I shot her." The words came out barely above a whisper. "I actually shot her.""Gabi—" I started to move towards her."I didn't mean—I just saw her coming at you and I grabbed the gun from that guard downstairs and—" She was shaking so badly she could barely hold the weapon.Sophia appeared, gently taking the gun from Gabi's hands. "You did what you had to do. She'll live. You aimed for the leg.""But I shot someone." Gabi's voice cracked. "I've never—I can't—""We'll deal with this later." I grabbed her shoulders. "Right now I need you to stay here with S

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 115

    Isabella's POV "This is too dangerous." I grabbed Gabi's arm. "You shouldn't be here. You should be somewhere safe—""There is nowhere safe anymore." Sophia interrupted, her tone grim. "Carla compromised the safe house. She knows about most of my locations. Keeping Gabi with us, where we can see her, is actually the safest option right now.""She's my sister. She's not trained for this—""Neither are you." Sophia's gaze was pointed. "But you're here anyway. Because Matteo matters to you. Well, you matter to Gabi. So she's coming."I looked at my sister, who nodded firmly. "I'm not leaving you. Not again."There was no time to argue. Sophia was already moving towards the compound, Dante's crew flanking her."The party is our cover." Sophia explained as we followed. "Carla's hosting some kind of exclusive event. Wealthy criminals, corrupt politicians. The kind of people who don't ask questions.""How do you know this?""Because I've been tracking her movements for weeks. Ever since Mat

    Isabella's POV "Stop! Please!" The words tore from my throat. "I'll do it. I'll help you. Just don't hurt her.""That's better." Carla's smile was triumphant. "See how easy it is when you cooperate? I control you like a puppet, Isabella. I always have. I just pull the right strings and you dance exactly how I want you to.""You're a monster.""I'm a realist and reality is that you'll do whatever I say to protect the people you love." She kept the knife pressed against Gabi's throat. "Which makes you predictable. Pathetic, really—"Gabi's eyes snapped open.Before Carla could react, before any of us could process what was happening, Gabi's heavy boot came down hard on Carla's foot.Carla screamed, stumbling backwards. The knife fell from her hand, clattering across the floor."Gabi!" I shouted. "The knife!"My sister kicked hard, sending the blade skittering towards my chair. I stretched as far as the ropes would allow, my fingers just barely reaching the handle."You little bitch!" C

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 113

    Isabella's POV My head was pounding when I opened my eyes. The world swam in and out of focus, shapes and colours bleeding together.Then reality crashed down. I was tied to a chair. Rope bit into my wrists and ankles. The room around me was unfamiliar. It was some kind of basement or warehouse."Finally awake." Carla's voice came from somewhere behind me. "I was beginning to worry I'd given you too much."I tried to speak but my mouth was dry, my tongue thick. "What—where—""Where's Matteo? Is that what you're trying to ask?" Carla moved into view, perfectly composed. Like she hadn't just drugged and kidnapped three people. "He's on his way to a secluded island. Very private and isolated. And you know what, very perfect for what comes next.""Stop." The word came out hoarse. "Stop whatever you're doing and let him go.""I'm afraid that's not possible. We've come too far now." She crouched down in front of me, her expression almost sympathetic. "This was always the end game, Isabell
