"Come here." Antonio murmured, gesturing for her to sit on his thigh.

Isabella's whole body screamed at her to refuse, but she remembered the rules. She didn't want to anger him.

When she hesitated, he arched a brow at her. "I said come here, Isabella. Don't make me come get you."

Sighing angrily, she got up and walked towards him. She paused, standing before him, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly he grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his laps.

His masculine smell hit her immediately. She breathed in, drawing in his scent. Why did he smell so delicious? She kept her gaze pinned on his adam apple, watching as it bobbed when he swallowed.

She didn't like this, sitting so close to him. Yet her body betrayed her.

Antonio on the other hand pulled her closer, keeping one arm around her. He crushed the cigarette on the silver ash tray beside him and turned to her.

"Are you nervous?" He murmured softly.

"No." She replied. She wasn't nervous. She was trying to stop herself from swooning

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 109

    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 Range Rover pulled into the parking lot inside the school and stopped. Isabella grabbed her bag and was about to step down when she noticed everyone staring at the car. "Why's everyone looking?" She asked Marcello, turning to face him. Marcello had an embarrassed look on his face as he turned around. "I think it's the bow." He answered. "The what?""The gift bow." He repeated, pointing towards the roof of the car. "The big gift bow.""Oh." Isabella realized and she groaned in embarrassment. She couldn't imagine how they must have looked, driving on the highway with a massive bow wrapped on top the Range Rover Sport. "This is just great." She muttered, sarcasm edging her voice. "First day of school and I'm already drawing all the attention to myself."Marcello chuckled. "I could take it off if you want."Isabella opened her eyes and stared at him. He had the kind of face that was neither good looking nor ugly, unlike Mario who had been very good looking. Marcello was just...

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 107

    That first night Isabella stayed without Antonio was harder than she imagined. Every minute, she found herself leaning over to touch him, only for her hand to feel the emptiness. Then she would open her eyes and remember that she wasn't at the villa with him. She was on the other side of the city, miles away from him.And each time she realized it, she would bury her face in the pillows and cry. She missed him, so much that it hurt. Her heart ached whenever she looked towards the other side of the bed and saw emptiness. When morning came, she dragged herself out of the bed to get ready for school. Her limbs ached with her movements and the stitches on her chest were itching badly. She stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection. Disheveled hair, red rimmed puffy eyes and pale skin. She looked terrible. "Get a grip, Isabella." She muttered, running her hands through her hair. She needed to focus. That monday morning was her orientation week at school. While she was

    A month later, Isabella was discharged from the hospital. She sat in the reception lobby waiting for Antonio, surrounded by few of his bodyguards. They all looked strange and unfamiliar, and she didn't try to make small talk with them. She didn't want to. None of them would ever replace Mario. Antonio arrived around noon to pick her up. He braked to a stop, easing the red sports car into the private parking lot and stepped out. The wind ruffled his hair as he walked towards the lobby, hands thrust into his pockets. He was clean-shaven, and the wild look in his eyes was gone. He no longer looked vulnerable and helpless. It seemed he had pulled back every drop of emotion and locked them in a dark place in his heart. Now he was back to being formal, cold, unreachable, the ruthless mafia devil everyone knew. The moment he stepped into the hospital lobby, the air changed. Everyone felt his presence, even without a word from him. The chill emanating from his gaze was enough to instil

    The silence that followed after Antonio's entrance was soft and comfortable. Words were not spoken. They were not needed. He just held her close, one hand tangled in her hair, the other stroking her back. His face lay buried on her shoulder, and gradually, his trembling subsided. The door opened and a blonde nurse stepped in, holding a chart and a syringe. When she noticed she had walked in on a private moment, she immediately turned and stepped out, shutting the door silently behind her. Isabella felt instant relief as she held Antonio. This was all she wanted, all she craved. To be in his arms after everything. She pulled back finally, wincing from the pain in her shoulder. "Does it hurt a lot?" Antonio asked worriedly, fluffing up the pillows behind her so she would be comfortable. "Yes." She nodded. "My entire shoulder and chest area are sore.""Let me get the nurse." He said, rising up from the bed. "They can give you something for the pain."But she grabbed his hand and t

    "I just had to see you one last time before I go."Fear seized Isabella when she heard Mario. What was he talking about? "Before you go?" She whispered, brows pulling into a frown. "What do you mean?Where are going?"Mario opened his mouth to answer, but the words caught. He looked away for a moment, hiding the tears that glistened in his eyes. Isabella felt her fear increase. She reached out and touched his face. When he looked back, the torture in his eyes was so much that it immediately made her cry. "What's going on, Mario?" She asked softly. "Are you... are you dying? Is Antonio going to kill you?""No." Mario shook his head quickly, then smiled reassuringly. "No, sweetheart. Antonio is not killing me. While you were unconscious, we had a long talk, and we decided to put everything behind us."Isabella was relieved to hear that, but she still didn't understand why Mario said he was leaving. "Then where are you going?" She asked. "I'm leaving Las Vegas." He broke the news. "A
