After the maid left, Isabella scoffed and fell back on the bed. She could safely assume that the maids in the mansion were jealous of the way Antonio treated her. Maybe they wanted to be in her shoes.

Shaking her head unbelievably, she tossed and turned on the bed, alone with her thoughts. She would trade places with them in a heartbeat. Even though Antonio took good care of her and gave her most of the things she desired, she would leave the villa at the first opportunity she got.

Antonio was a demon. A dark haired, seductive, breathtakingly handsome mafia demon, and the longer she spent with him, the more her sanity was endangered.

She tried to lay still, but the pressure to pee was getting uncomfortable.

She suddenly had an idea. Pushing the blankets away, she lifted her legs and got off the bed. The chains clanged heavily, the metal weighing her down.

Next she measured the length of the chain, then the distance between the bed and the bathroom. Realizing it was long enough, she

  • 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

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 106

    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 Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 105

    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

    Emilio's words echoed repeatedly in Antonio's ears, rendering him motionless.We couldn't save her... The hospital ward faded. The hallway he stood disintegrated. He barely heard Mario's voice as he argued with Emilio, refusing to believe that Isabella was dead. A sharp pain lanced through his heart and he jerked. It couldn't be. His Isabella couldn't be dead. It wasn't possible. Everything blacked out for a moment, and he felt himself suspended in midair, surrounded by darkness. He saw himself that fateful day, the day his father killed his mother right before his eyes. He saw Karina's body, lifeless, a dagger sticking into her heart. He saw his father, Salvatore, standing above her, grinning like a maddened fool, his face and chest stained with her blood. He remembered the anger that coursed through him that day. That same anger surfaced now, but it wasn't directed to anyone. It was directed to himself. Suddenly he was pulled back to reality with a jolt. Beside him, Emilio an

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 102

    The moment blood soaked through Isabella's white blouse, the murderous haze surrounding Antonio's mind faded. His eyes cleared and focused on her, and that was when he saw the jagged piece of glass stuck in her chest, dangerously close to her heart. "No." He whispered, reaching out to hold her as she staggered back. Beside him, Mario stared in horror at her face, then at his hand covered in her blood. He shook his head, backing away. What had he done? Isabella felt pain shoot up her entire body. Her knees buckled and she fell backwards, but Antonio caught her. Her vision blurred, and she could faintly hear him calling out her name. She looked up at him, tears spilling down her eyes. "Antonio..." She whispered breathlessly. "I'm right here, my love." Antonio's voice shook with emotion. "I'm right here. Keep your eyes on me, okay? Keep your eyes on me..."He lifted her and hurried towards the door, yelling at Marcello to get the car. As her vision dimmed, everything seemed to hap
