"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 180

    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

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 179

    Isabella queued up with the other boarders as they prepared to board the plane. Her lower back was beginning to really hurt, making her uncomfortable, yet that was the least of her worries. As she moved closer to the jetway, her heart constricted. A tiny voice kept telling her to stop, to turn around before it was too late. But she didn't stop. She kept walking, getting closer and closer to the jetway. If she wanted to change her mind, now was the time, because once she stepped into that plane, there would be no turning back. As she lifted her foot to climb, a memory flittered through her mind. It was the day Antonio proposed to her, and she remembered the promises he made. ...I'll give up being el capo. I'll take you away from here, to a safe place where it will just be the two of us... She shut her eyes, willing the memory to stop, willing herself to move, to board the plane, but she couldn't. She couldn't get Antonio's voice out of her head, couldn't forget how his face lit

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 178

    The words tore at Isabella's heart. She hated herself for what she was doing to him, hated herself for hurting the only man who had ever shown her what true love meant. But she had to do it. It was the only way to make him leave without her. He had to understand that she couldn't be with him until the danger around him was gone. So she hardened her heart and looked him in the eye. "No. I've never loved you." She said. "When I came back to you that night, I decided to use you to get what I wanted. I used your affection for me to my advantage. I used you, but what I didn't expect was to end up pregnant for you."The more she said those hurtful words, the more Antonio's heart shattered. He couldn't believe it. All those times, the love, the affection, the promises, they were all lies? "So you see, Antonio, I can't be with you." She continued. "You're surrounded with death and bloodshed. I'm too innocent for the world you live in. I can't be with you."Antonio took a step towards her,

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 177

    ‹I'm leaving you, Antonio. But first, you need to know this. Leonardo is coming. He's planning something big, something dangerous, and I'll die if I remain with you.I know you think can protect me, you think you can keep me safe, that everything will be fine. But let's face it. I'll only be a burden to you. I won't be able to live with myself if you die because of me. Please, don't look for me. Stay focused and end Leonardo once and for all. Live for me. Live for our babies. I'll be carrying a piece of you with me always, and I hope fate brings you back to me when all this is over. I love you. More than life itself.›Antonio's hands shook violently as the letter fell from his grip. His vision blurred as tears brimmed in his eyes. It couldn't be. It had to be a dream. A nightmare. His Isabella couldn't be gone. But reality hit him hard when something round and shiny fell out from the handbag. He leaned down and picked it up, staring in horror at the diamond engagement ring he gav

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 176

    All through the night, Isabella didn't sleep a wink. Her heart was unsettled and she dreaded what would happen. By morning, she looked a mess. Dark circles appeared under her eyes and her skin lost its healthy tone. She looked sick. Antonio grew worried, and not just because he knew something was bothering her. He could clearly see fear in her eyes. She was terrified, and he felt helpless because he couldn't do a thing about it. "Mi amore." He pulled her into his arms. "I'm worried. What is it?"Isabella tore her gaze away from the clock which she had been staring at all morning. It was past 7AM, which meant she had less than an hour to get to the mall and meet with Leonard. She swallowed past the lump in her throat, trying to calm her racing heart. "Mi amore." Antonio repeated. "Mhm, what?" She looked at him, finally noticing how worried he looked. "What's wrong? Why do you look so worried?""You." Antonio murmured. "I'm worried about you. Should I call Emilio? Maybe he can pre

    Isabella just folded the letter and slipped it into her bag when the door opened. She shoved the book and pen into the bag, dropped the bag beside the couch and turned away from it. Antonio stepped inside and paused at the door. "You're awake." He smiled. "Yes. A while ago." She smiled back. "I heard you talking in the study, but I didn't want to disturb you." "You know nothing you do would ever be a disturbance." He shut the door and joined her on the couch. Then he pulled her onto his lap. "I want to apologize for how I spoke to you that day." She started to say, but he drew her close and silenced her with a kiss. Her arms immediately went around him, pulling him closer as she poured all her love into that kiss. It soon turned intense and she only pulled back when she became breathless. "Don't do that." He rasped. "Don't apologize for anything. It's in the past. I shouldn't have burdened you with so many questions, not when your emotions are all over the place.""Still, it wa
