The exam was more difficult than Isabella expected. As the hours went by, she did all she could to answer most of the questions correctly.

Before the time ended, a number of students had submitted and logged out of the system. When she finished, she submitted her work and logged out, then grabbed her bag and headed outside with the other students. Now the hardest part was waiting for the results to be released.

As she stepped out of the hall, she turned on her phone to see a dozen text messages from Antonio.

Before she could read them, his call came in. She slid the answer bar and put it in her ear.

"Why has your phone been switched off?" He sounded upset from the other end.

"We were instructed to switch if off before starting the exam." She answered. "I didn't want to risk getting punished if I disobeyed."

"Where are you?"

"Still at the school. I just stepped out." She replied. "It was harder than I expected, but I did my best."

Antonio hummed, distracted for a moment.

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 86

    Hours later, Mario stopped the Ferrari in front of a gigantic skyscraper. Antonio got down first, then helped Isabella out. The sight of the tall building took her breath away. Her jaw dropped when she spotted the penthouse at the top. "You have a penthouse?" She gasped, turning to stare at him. He chuckled, amused at the awe in her eyes. "This is just one of them." He confirmed. "I thought you would like to spend some time here before heading back to the villa.""But I didn't bring anything to wear.""Don't worry. It has been taken care of."Isabella was speechless as he held her hand and led her to a private elevator, surrounded by numerous bodyguards. She could feel the intense stares as people gawked at them. They knew who Antonio was, and it was clearly a surprise to see her with him. The doors of the elevator was still sliding close when he suddenly pulled her against him. "What are you doing?" She laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Something I wanted to do back

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 85

    Isabella chose a sundress to wear after her bath. The deep pink floral pattern enhanced her creamy skin perfectly while the sides trailed down her hips, highlighting her hour glass figure. She brushed out her hair and let it curl wildly around her face. Next she added a touch of lilac lip gloss and stood back, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Staying with Sophia had drained her mentally and emotionally, leaving behind an empty shell with crushed dreams. But with Antonio, everything changed. Despite the dark life he led, he saved her. It was ironic, seeing as he bought her initially as his plaything. But he saved her and gave her a chance to achieve her dream. There was no need denying the intense attraction between them, yet she reminded herself not to fall completely. Antonio wasn't the kind of man who loved. He told her countless times that she shouldn't make the mistake of falling for him because he didn't believe in love. So she guarded her heart jealously. His affect

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 84

    Antonio was ready to get to the bottom of everything. Nothing had ever riled him up the way this nameless stranger did. And apart from that, he had other rivals he needed to hunt down. There was Leonardo Russo, Sebastian Giovanni, Luca Moretti who was no longer a rival, but still posed a threat, and finally, Pedro. Pedro had been one of his closest friends, but after the disgusting stunt he pulled with Isabella, he had become a rival. Antonio knew Pedro wouldn't dare cross him, but he wasn't ruling him out. "What are you orders, signòre?" Mario asked when Antonio kept gazing out the window, long after the call ended. "The number can't be tracked because it's hidden." Antonio answered calmly. "But there should be a way to intercept the call log and trace it to the location.""There should be." Mario agreed. "Frankie could try. He's a tech whiz.""Good. Send it to him first thing in the morning." Antonio flung the phone across the room and Mario caught it easily. "Tell him I want t

    It was heading towards evening by the time Mario drove into the villa and parked. Antonio carried Isabella up to the room. She hadn't spoken a word all through the drive back home, and even now, she clung tightly to him. He could imagine how terrified she must have been, jumping out of a moving vehicle, only for it to explode seconds later. If he hadn't received that amber alert from the Rolls Royce, he would have lost her. It made him realize just how much he cared about her, and how he had restrained himself from admitting it. He cared about Isabella more than he was supposed to. Inside the room, he gently laid her on the bed and moved away. But she grabbed his hand, stopping him. "I'm here. I'm not leaving." He murmured. She let him go and he straightened. He took off his jacket, then sat at the foot of the bed and took off her shoes. Next he massaged her toes, his fingers warm and gentle.Occasionally, he would gaze in her direction. She was lying so still, so silent, and he

    Isabella only had a second to process what Antonio said before Mario grabbed her and pulled her across the seat. He kicked the door open and leaped out, his arms tightly wrapped around her. She shut her eyes as they hit the tarred ground, the impact knocking the breath out of her lungs. Few seconds later, a loud explosion rocked the earth. The ground trembled, the air filling up with the smell of burnt rubber and metal. Luckily, Mario had done his best to shield her body with his. When they fell out of the car, they rolled over a few feet before stopping. Mario immediately lifted her and carried her away from the middle of the road, away from the explosion. Isabella coughed as the acrid smell of smoke scratched her throat and made her eyes water. She held on tight to Mario as he stopped at the side of the road and lowered her to the ground. "Are you okay?" He asked, his voice filled with concern. Isabella couldn't speak for a moment. Her entire body was stiff. She lowered to the

    (TRIGGER WARNING! MIGHT BE TRIGGERING TO SOME READERS!!!)...After Antonio left in the Ferrari, leaving Mario to keep an eye on Isabella, Marcello drove him to a secluded part of the city, where there was little vegetation. There was an old building built right inside a deserted animal farm. Marcello slowed to a stop behind the building and turned off the engine. "Wait here." Antonio muttered as he got down from the car and walked towards the back door. Two of his bodyguards stood erect on either sides of the door, holding big guns. They looked fearsome in their usual black outfits and dark shades. But this time, black masks shielded half of their faces. They nodded respectfully as Antonio walked past. Antonio headed towards the stairs and climbed up. As he neared the top, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, blowing out the stream of smoke in one puff. There was another door at the top of the stairs, guarded by three other armed bodyguards who stood erect as he walked through.

    "Heyyy, are you ready for today?" Veronica asked the moment Isabella stopped beside her, a wide smile stretching her lips. She was dressed in a black two piece, and her blonde hair was woven into a single braid. "As ready as I'll ever be." Isabella replied with a smile. "I'm nervous though.""Nervous?" Veronica repeated incredulously. "You have nothing to be nervous about. We're going to ace this.""I hope so." Isabella laughed. She walked beside Veronica as they headed towards the hall where they would take the exam. "So, about that day you wanted us to meet up...""Yeah, about that day." Veronica cut her short. "I'm sorry for what I said. I had no right to ask you that question."Isabella was rendered speechless. She had intended to apologize to Veronica for hanging up and not getting back to her, but surprisingly, it took a different turn. "It's alright." She said finally. "Also, I didn't want you to come because, well, Antonio wouldn't allow it.""I realize that now." Veronica n

  • The Mafia's Dark Obsession   Chapter 78

    A week flew by rapidly until Isabella's examination date arrived. It was on a cold morning, because it rained the previous night. Through out the week, Antonio had spent every second with her. Whenever he stepped out, he returned within a few hours, almost as if he was afraid of leaving her all by herself. The nights were perfect and steamy, spent mainly in the play room. Antonio introduced her to an entirely different world of pleasure, with a promise of more to come. Isabella gradually began to notice how over protective he became. Whenever they stepped out, he was always alert, shielding her with his body, never leaving her hand. When she asked why he was being overly cautious, he assured her he was just keeping her safe. But that wasn't the reason. It was because of the strange call he received after the day of the accident. He didn't tell her about it so he was on full alert at every moment. He also hadn't heard a word from Pedro since he beat him up. At that point, everyone
