Isabella's POV

The phone slipped from my fingers before I could catch it.

It clattered against the desk, the sound impossibly loud in the sudden silence.

"Isabella." Matteo's voice cut through the air like a blade. "You shouldn't be reading my messages."

I looked up to find him standing in the doorway, Marco behind him.

Both men were staring at me, but I only saw Matteo. Only saw the way his jaw tightened, the way his eyes went cold.

"I wasn't...I didn't mean to —" The words tangled in my throat.

My hands were shaking again, worse than before. "Your phone was just there, and the notification —"

"That doesn't give you the right to look at my private conversations."

His tone was sharp. The kind of voice he used when he was truly angry but trying not to show it.

Something snapped inside me. All the fear from earlier, all the confusion and secrets and lies, it came rushing up, hot and furious.

"What does Caroline mean?" I demanded. "Are you ready to ditch her? What is she talking abou

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 77

    Isabella's POV I woke to the sound of Matteo's voice, sharp and tense. He was standing by the window, phone pressed to his ear, his back rigid."When did this happen?" His tone was controlled but I could hear the anger underneath. "Why wasn't I informed immediately?"I sat up, pulling the sheet around myself. The morning light filtered through the curtains, but Matteo's mood cast a shadow over everything."I don't care what the protocol is. I should have been told." A pause. "Fine. We'll be there by tonight. Don't do anything until I arrive."He ended the call and stood there for a moment, his shoulders tense."Matteo?" My voice was soft. "What's wrong?"He turned, and I saw the storm in his eyes. "We need to go back to New York. Now.""What? Why?" I climbed out of bed, reaching for my robe. "What happened?""There's been an emergency. I can't explain right now, but we need to leave within the hour." He was already moving towards his suitcase, pulling out clothes. "Can you pack qui

    Isabella's POV He leaned closer, brushing his lips against mine the same second I closed my eyes. They were cold, firm, yet gentle.I almost pulled back but his arms around my waist tightened, locking me in place. “Not tonight, Isabella.” he murmured huskily. “You don't get to leave tonight.” His hands found the zip of my dress and with mastered precision, he pulled it down, leaving my back bare.My inner being danced with excitement but I ignored it. Suddenly, I was spun around. This time with my back turned to him. He pulled me closer and leaned towards my ear.“I've wanted this for so long. Needed it.” he rasped. “Now you'll be mine.”His words sounded like a promise he intended to fulfil but there was no time to figure it out because I was suddenly lifted and placed against the bed.I didn't realise he had taken his clothes off until I stared at him, seeing his toned muscles and abs beckoning to me.His lips found mine and all traces of resistance vanished. Damn, this man was

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 75

    Isabella's POV I picked up my fork and took a bite of pasta, chewing slowly whilst everyone stared at me. They expected me to panic. To defend myself frantically. To break down under the weight of their accusations.But I was done playing their games."You know," I swallowed, reaching for my water glass, "I think I know what's wrong with Mrs Clementine."The table went silent. Even Uncle Stefano stopped mid-bite, his fork suspended in the air."You do?" Aunt Pauline's voice was careful, suspicious. "And what would that be?""She slapped me this morning in the garden." I touched my cheek where the mark had mostly faded. "Hit me quite hard, actually. I imagine she must have hurt her hand. That's probably why she's feeling unwell."The reaction was immediate. Gasps. Shocked faces. Uncle Stefano's face turned red with anger."You lying little—" Pauline's husband started, his voice rising. "How dare you accuse Clementine of such a thing? She would never raise a hand to anyone without cau

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 74

    Matteo's POV Isabella had been gone too long.I paced the bedroom, checking my watch every few seconds. Twenty minutes had passed since she'd left with Clementine. Twenty minutes that felt like hours.What if this was another one of their tests? Another cruel game designed to break her down?I couldn't stay in this room anymore. I grabbed my jacket and headed downstairs, searching for any sign of where they'd gone.The house was quiet, most of the family still sleeping or keeping to their rooms after last night's disaster. I checked the sitting rooms, the library, the dining room where we'd had that nightmare of a dinner.Nothing."Looking for someone?"I turned to find Aunt Pauline standing in the doorway of the morning room, a cup of tea in her hand."Isabella. Have you seen her?""Oh yes. She went out with Clementine." Pauline took a sip of her tea, watching me over the rim of the cup. "To the gardens, I believe. For their morning chat."The gardens. Of course. Far from the hou

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 73

    Isabella's POV I couldn't back down. Not after everything that had happened last night. Not after they'd made me think I was dying just to see if I'd break."I'll be fine," I told Matteo, keeping my voice steady even though my stomach was twisting with nerves. "It's just tea.""Isabella—""I can handle this." I met his eyes, willing him to understand. If I refused now, if I let them see I was afraid, it would only confirm their suspicions. "I'll be back soon."He didn't look happy about it, but he nodded. "If anything happens, scream. I'll hear you."Mrs Clementine's smile widened slightly. "How sweet. He thinks he can protect you from everything."I ignored her, moving back into the room to quickly splash water on my face. My reflection in the mirror looked tired, haunted. The events of last night had left marks that went deeper than physical exhaustion.But I couldn't afford to look weak. Not here. Not with these people.I dried my face, straightened my shoulders, and followed Mr

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 72

    Isabella's POV The words hit me like ice water. There was poison in my food and already inside me.My hand flew to my throat, fingers pressing against my pulse. Was it racing because of fear or because something deadly was already working through my system?I looked down at my plate. The pasta I'd barely touched. Had I swallowed enough to kill me? Enough to cause permanent damage?"You're insane." The words came out choked. "You actually poisoned me.""Give her the antidote." Matteo's voice cut through the room like steel. "Now.""Not until she tells us the truth." Aunt Pauline's expression remained pleasant, almost sweet. "We have time. Not much, but enough."Matteo's fist slammed against the table so hard the dishes jumped. The sound echoed through the dining room, making everyone flinch."I said give her the antidote!"Clementine's laugh was harsh and mocking. "Look at him. So desperate to save his little spy. I wish we'd poisoned you instead, Matteo. Would have saved us all a lot
