Isabella's classes were over for the day.

It went well surprisingly. The female professor who introduced their first course to them, Professor McAllister, had been warm and friendly. After giving them a rundown of the topics for the semester, she left.

The other two classes went well also and by 2PM, she was done.

As she stepped out of the classroom and walked down the hallway, she spotted Leonard coming her way. He was dressed in his usual baggy hoodie and jeans.

"Leonard." She gasped excitedly, hurrying up to meet him.

"I was just coming to find you." Leonard grinned as he stopped in front of her. He opened his arms for a hug, but she moved back sharply, the smile disappearing from her face.

"I don't think that's a good idea." She said, looking around casually.

Leonard dropped his hands and frowned. "Why? Is your watch dog spying on you?"

Hearing him refer to Mario as a watch dog again angered her. She pushed him out of her way and stormed off.

"Hey, I'm sorry." Leonard yelle

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 185

    In the middle of the night, after Isabella fed her babies, she crawled into bed beside Antonio. He had stayed awake with her for hours, holding Adriana while she breastfed Romeo. Then rocking Romeo to sleep while she breastfed Adriana. Now that both babies were asleep, she felt exhausted. "Are your okay, my love?" Antonio asked, pulling her against him. He kissed her cheek, her lips, her neck, rubbing her back in soothing circles. "Just tired." She mumbled. "You should sleep. You need rest.""I know, but I don't feel sleepy." She nuzzled into the warmth of his body and sighed. As the room turned silent, she heard something. Muffled moans came from the room next to hers, the room Mario and Esmee had taken. She raised her head slightly, straining her ears to listen harder. The sound came again, a soft insistent moaning followed by a deep groan. She looked at Antonio, only to find him grinning at her. "Is that...?" She paused, laughing softly. "Is that what I think it is?""It

    A month later, Romeo and Adriana were discharged from the NICU. Mario was discharged too. He stood with Esmee outside the hospital beside the SUV, waiting for Antonio and Isabella to emerge with the babies. But they wouldn't return to the villa. The battle with Leonardo had ruined what was once their home.Instead, they would go to one of Antonio's penthouses in the city. They would remain there until the mansion was rebuilt again. Apart from Mario, Marcello had survived, along with Montero, Henry and a handful of the bodyguards. The others died in the fight with Leonardo. Marcello and Henry had already transported all of Antonio's cars to the penthouse, while Montero and the rest of the maids moved everything else they would need. The drive home was silent, but it was a comfortable silence. The babies were strapped into identical car seats. Isabella beside them at the back, cuddled in Antonio's embrace, while Mario drove the car, with Esmee sitting in the passenger's side. The

    Isabella was finally able to hold her babies a month after they were born. Emilio explained that they had to remain in the NICU for an additional month, before they would be discharged. Isabella was fully recovered, and was ready to be discharged. But she decided to stay in the hospital so she could be close to her babies. The first time the nurse placed them in her arms, she cried. Happy tears spilled down her eyes as they nestled into her arms, fast asleep. Antonio sat beside her, watching with eyes filled with love. It was a precious moment, and he couldn't resist leaning close and placing a kiss on her lips. He looked much better, and he no longer had to wear the hospital gown he despised so much. Now he was in casual clothing, a black t-shirt and grey slacks. "They're so perfect." She whispered. "I feel scared just holding them." Antonio chuckled softly. He stroked the baby boy's cheek softly, then the girl's hair, his heart overflowing with love. "You still have to

    Isabella awoke with a shrill scream. Strong hands wrestled with her and she thrashed in terror, fighting to jump off the bed. In her mind, she was back in the mansion. Leonardo stood before her, with a gun aimed at her. She heard the roar of a gunshot and pain exploded in her stomach. Her screams turned raw and primal, but everything ceased when she heard Antonio's voice. "It's okay, my love. You're safe now. I'm here with you."He spoke in a whisper, and she almost concluded that she was hallucinating. She calmed down, breathing shakingly, clutching him tightly as if she was terrified to let go. Then she felt him stroke her cheek. She opened her eyes and looked around. The room was dim, and the curtains were drawn, keeping the harsh sunlight away. Antonio was lying beside her on the bed, softly stroking her face. She looked up at him, taking in his appearance. The was a tiny plaster taped over a cut on his eyebrow. He was putting on a light blue hospital gown, the same as the

    "ANTONIO!" Isabella screamed as he fell down the stairs. She started to run towards him but Marcello held her back. "Let me go!" She cried, struggling with him. She bit his arm hard and when he pulled away with a painful howl, she rushed up the stairs. Antonio lay on his side, groaning from the pain of the gunshot wound. Blood soaked his shirt, spilling down his back to the stairs.Beside him, Mario lay totally still, the gun still nestled in his hand. He was unconscious, and he was losing too much blood. But that wasn't what made him worried. He lifted his head as Isabella rushed up the stairs towards him. She collapsed beside him and pulled his head onto her laps. "Oh Antonio." She cried softly. "This is all my fault. I never should have left.""Mi amore." He groaned weakly, worried for her. "You have to get out of here...""No! I'm not leaving you again." She shook her head. "I didn't mean what I said. When I said I didn't love you, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean any of it.

    Isabella clamped her palm over her mouth, muffling her cry. She shut her eyes as the pain heightened, almost splitting her stomach in two. It released her suddenly and she gasped, breathless from the pain. This couldn't be happening, she thought. She couldn't be going into labor. But the water pooling around her feet told her otherwise. She was having her babies. The footsteps alerted her again, getting closer, like they were creeping forward silently. Gritting her teeth hard, she lifted the gun, prepared to protect herself no matter what. She counted to three, then with a shrill scream, she leaped out. She slammed the gun on the intruder's head and he collapsed, groaning in pain. Isabella froze. That voice, she thought. It sounded familiar. She gasped when he raised his head and stared at her. "Marcello?"Marcello looked battered. His shirt was bloodstained, and a thin trail of blood spilled down the side of his lips. His eyes widened in shock when he saw her. "Signòra?"Is
