After the sound of the gunshot died down, Isabella kept her eyes closed.

She heard Sophia choking. Wet, gurgling sound which sounded broken. Finally she opened her eyes.

Her fingers had moved a bit before she fired. So instead of aiming at Sophia's chest, she aimed at her neck.

The bullet tore through her throat, ripping out the entire flesh. Blood flowed endlessly down her chest like a river, soaking her shirt.

Gradually, the light in her eyes dimmed out and she lay there. Dead.

Isabella turned away, straight into Antonio's embrace and hid her face in the curve of his neck. She didn't cry. She had no tears for Sophia. Except the dull ache in her heart for her late parents.

Antonio took the gun from her and slipped it into the holster in his pocket. Then he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hair, softly stroking her back.

"I'm sorry you had to hear this." He whispered. "But it's better to know the truth. I promise, no one will ever hurt you. I'll make sure of it."

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 144

    The dungeon was exactly as Isabella remembered it the last time Antonio took her there, the day he tortured one of Don Russo's men. It had a high ceiling, thick chains suspended from every part of it. The walls were covered with black tiles, making it impossible to climb. There were twelve cells in total, spaced apart from each other with hard bronze gates. One of Antonio's bodyguard, Luca, led the way, holding a square shaped device in his hand. As Isabella walked down the passage with Antonio, she spotted Pedro in one of the cells. The chains around his body held him suspended in the air, with both his arms stretched apart. He looked terrible. Bruises lined his face, and one of his eyes was swollen shut. He was unconscious. Antonio stopped at the last cell, and Isabella finally saw her aunt. Sophia looked sunken, like the fluids in her body had been drained out. Her hair lay dirty and matted on her head. Her shirt and jeans were covered in dried blood. Her wrists were chaine

    Antonio looked like he had seen a ghost. Pedro was still alive? "You fucking undead bastard." He muttered. "In the flesh and blood." Pedro replied, grinning like a maniac. But even his voice was strained with pain. Blood bubbled through the wound on his arm as he pressed on it. "Signòre?" Marcello called as he pressed his gun on Pedro's head, waiting for Antonio to give the order. Pedro leaned against the wall and laughed, a soulless sound which had no humour in it. "What are your orders, Antonio?" He groaned painfully, looking Antonio dead in the eyes. "Are you going to kill me a second time? Maybe I'll die for real this time."But Antonio had other plans for him. He turned away, taking Isabella with him. "Bring him with you." He ordered. "He'll die, but it will be a slow and painful one."He turned to Montero and nodded. "We're through here." He muttered. Montero got the message and six of the bodyguards immediately bundled Pedro and carried him away. Antonio lifted Isabella

    "What the hell?" Isabella whispered in annoyance. The apartment was pitch black, except for the occasional flashes of lightning which brightened the sky. The rain had reduced, falling in a light drizzle now. She felt her way along the wall, careful not to step on Esmee or the twins. Then she turned on her phone's torchlight and lifted it. She nearly had a heart attack when she saw Veronica standing so close to her."What are you doing standing there like that?" She yelled angrily. "I didn't want to run into you." Veronica said. "I can't see a thing, and my phone's battery is down.""You can be really weird if you want to, you know that?" Isabella scoffed. "Sorry." Veronica muttered. Splaying a hand on her racing heart, Isabella turned away and moved over to Esmee. She crouched and shook her gently. "Esmee. Esmee wake up."But Esmee didn't even stir. She was knocked out cold. Anita and Annika lay beside her, deeply asleep. "They're passed out completely." Isabella muttered. "Wh

    An hour later, Isabella could feel the sugar pill working over time. Her senses heightened, and every part of her body became sensitive. Beside her, Esmee stood on the couch, screaming along with the music booming from the speakers. Anita and Annika were sprawled on the floor, laughing hysterically. Those two were gone already. But only Veronica appeared clear headed, like the drug didn't have an effect on her. Empty bottles of alcohol and pizza boxes were strewn about, along with half eaten chicken bones. Then Veronica slid close and whispered. "I need some air. Will you step outside with me?"Isabella didn't want to move from her spot. "I'm good." She said. "Take Esmee with you."Before Veronica could plead with her, her phone lit up with a text message. It was from Antonio. [How's your party?]She replied swiftly, a silly smile on her face. [Wild. We're high on alcohol and drugs.][Drugs?] He texted back. She palmed her face as she realized her mistake. She hadn't planned

    A week later, Antonio dropped Isabella off at school. It was the last day of her exam, and the day of her sleepover at Esmee's place. The week had gone by smoothly. No threat calls, no hidden attacks from Leonardo.That morning, Antonio parked in his usual spot and immediately pulled Isabella into his arms. "I wish you don't have to go." He murmured, nuzzling the curve of her neck. "It would be torture sleeping without you beside me."Isabella laughed at that. "You survived when we were apart for three weeks." She said. "When I stayed at that apartment. I'm sure you can survive one night.""You have no idea how hard it was for me." He chuckled. "I went crazy."She drew his face closer and kissed him, moaning softly as he sucked on her lower lip. "You're going to make it hard for me to concentrate." She gasped breathlessly. "I need to be clearheaded for my exams."Antonio chuckled and released her. "Remember what we talked about." He said. "If you notice anything strange, call me im
