Antonio was submerged in the bathtub, covered up to the waist in sudsy bath water. His skin glistened like marble, taut muscles gleaming like jewels.

He looked up when she stepped in, and his breath caught. She had discarded her dress, and was wrapped in a single towel.

"Take off the towel." He growled.

But she shook her head. "It's either this, or I put my dress back on."

Antonio's eyes darkened with her defiance, but he let it slide.

"Whatever you want. Now come here." He beckoned on her, water dripping softly from the hand he lifted.

She walked to the side of the tub and knelt beside it. She kept her eyes on his face, not wanting to drool over his rock hard abs glistening enticingly, and how the other half of his body disappeared into the water.

"Take the sponge, amore." Antonio's husky voice cut into her thoughts, and she looked down at the wet sponge he held towards her. She collected it, her hands trembling slightly.

"Are you scared?"

She looked at him, then sho

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 111

    Isabella arrived at school that morning in a foul mood. She didn't even give Marcello a chance to bid her farewell before slamming the door in his face. She was angry, and she had every right to be. Antonio had left her again. When she woke up and found the bed empty, she had been hurt. Livid. What was the point of coming to meet her that night, fucking her senseless, saying those possessive words to her, only to leave her the next morning? And the worst part was he didn't leave a note. He didn't stop to think she would be upset. He didn't call. He didn't text. She was so angry that she could punch someone. She wanted to call him and give him a piece of her mind, but she stopped herself each time. If there was anyone who should call, it was him. She was stomping angrily towards her first class when she spotted Leonard. Her frown deepened. She didn't want to see him. She didn't want to see anyone. "Hey." He smiled cheerfully."Hi." She muttered. "Seems someone is in a rotten mo

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 110

    Isabella felt her heart skip a beat the moment Antonio's lips merged with hers. She let out a soft moan, her arms snaking round his neck, pulling him tighter. Her fingers crept into his hair, tangling in the soft curls. He lifted her, wrapping her legs around him, and kicked the door to the bedroom open. When he tried to lower her on the bed, she clung tightly to him. "Don't leave me." She whispered. "I'm not leaving you, my love." He rasped, his voice thick with desire. "I'm here. Just let me..."He broke off when she leaned up and kissed him again. His hands trailed down her body, past the curve of her waist and hips. He squeezed her ass and she arched into him, curving her spine and grinding against him."Fuck! Amore, wait a second." He gasped, breaking off the kiss. "I don't want to wait." She shook her head. "I've missed you so much.""I've missed you too. But let's take this slow. Your stitches..""I don't care about it." She pulled him close, her lips brushing his ear. "I

  • 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

  • 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
