Isabella's POV

A second woman. The elders playing into rumours they made.

The words echoed in my head, but I didn't have time to process them. The hallway had gone completely silent.

Too silent.

My heart hammered against my ribs. They knew. Somehow, they knew someone was listening.

I heard movement inside the room. Quick footsteps heading towards the door.

I looked around frantically. There was a alcove a few metres down the corridor, barely deep enough to hide in but it was all I had.

I ran for it, pressing myself into the shadows just as Vincenzo's door swung fully open.

From my hiding spot, I watched him step out into the hallway.

He looked left, then right, his eyes scanning every corner. His jaw was tight, his posture alert.

He knew someone had been there. He could probably sense it.

I held my breath, not daring to move. If he found me now, after everything I'd heard —

"Anything?" Valentina's voice asked from the other end.

"No." Vincenzo's response was clipped. "But I could h

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 76

    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

  • The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge    Chapter 71

    Matteo's POV The click of the empty chamber echoed in the silence following the gunshot. No bullet. There had never been a bullet.I knew that. Had known it the moment Uncle Stefano raised the rifle. He'd done this before, countless times over the years, all he's done is testing. Always testing.But Isabella didn't know that. I could feel her trembling beside me, her hand clutching my arm so tightly her nails dug through my shirt."See?" Stefano lowered the rifle, his expression disgusted. "Not even a flinch. You knew it was empty.""Of course I knew." I kept my voice steady, controlled. "You're predictable, Uncle.""Predictable? I could have had a bullet in there. Could have blown your head off." He shook the rifle at me. "But you didn't even move. Didn't try to dodge or disarm me. That's not confidence, boy. That's arrogance.""Or trust.""Trust." He spat the word like it was poison. "Trust gets you killed in this life. You should know that better than anyone."I did know. Had lear
