UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 433: Whatever You Want To Know About The Covenant
"You're asking me," Dimitri said."Yes.""Why should I?""Because she was your fiancée."The word sat on the line between them."Betrothed since she was a child," Dante went on. "You were supposed to marry her. For years someone has been poisoning her, and the family you were about to join never noticed. Not her father. Not her mother. Not you. If that means nothing to you, say so, and I'll hang up and find another way. But if it means anything at all, you have a reason to want to know who did this.""That engagement was a signature between two fathers," Dimitri said. "It was never a vow.""I know that.""Then you know it carries no obligation.""I'm not asking you to owe her anything," Dante said. "I'm telling you what she was."Dimitri looked at the dark door that led down the hall to the room where Eve slept. He thought of a girl at the far end of a long dinner table, pale and quiet. He had never wanted her. He had never wanted this for her either."I'll see what I can do," he said
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 432: I'm Calling About Isabella's Medication
"So you're saying Dimitri might already know Isabella is being poisoned?" Dante asked."I'm saying he probably suspects," Luca said. "And at minimum, he has resources to find answers. Resources you can access if you ask.""I'm not asking Dimitri for anything," Dante said."Then Isabella suffers," Luca said, and his tone was absolute. "Because without Dimitri's resources, we're stuck. The medication source is hidden too well. Prometheus Laboratories is too secretive. We can't find them fast enough with what we have."Dante listened to his second-in-command lay out the logic, and he knew Luca was right."If I call him," Dante said slowly, "he's going to know that I don't have the resources to handle this alone. He's going to know that I'm vulnerable. He's going to see it as weakness.""Or," Luca said, "he's going to see it as a man protecting the woman he loves. And Dimitri understands that. He's doing the same thing with his American woman."Dante considered this."What if he refuses?"

Because she trusted that her father had found legitimate medical care for her.And that trust, Dante understood with absolute clarity, had been weaponized against her."Isabella," Dante said, and his voice was absolutely controlled, "I need you to understand something. I don't think you're sick. I don't think you have an anxiety disorder."Isabella's eyes widened."What are you saying?" she whispered."I'm saying," Dante said carefully, "that I think someone has been deliberately giving you something that your body has become dependent on. And they've been disguising it as medical treatment.""That's not possible," Isabella said, but her voice was shaking. "My father would never....""Your father found the doctor," Dante said. "But that doesn't mean the doctor is legitimate. It doesn't mean the medication is what it appears to be."Isabella looked down at her trembling hands."So what you're saying is... I'm addicted to something I don't even understand," she said quietly."Yes," Dant
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 430: Do you regret coming here?
"No," Dimitri confirmed. "I'm not.""Even though Dante just demonstrated that he's capable of strategic planning and has resources and can execute complicated operations?""Even though," Dimitri agreed. "Because that's his problem now, not mine. He's chosen to involve himself with the Russo family and potentially The Covenant's attention. Those are his consequences to manage."He pulled her closer."My focus is here," he said, and he kissed her forehead. "My focus is on keeping you safe. Everything else is noise."Eve understood what he was saying: he'd compartmentalized. He'd looked at the situation, analyzed it, determined it wasn't relevant to his immediate concerns, and moved on.It was brilliant and cold and completely logical.It was also absolutely him."Don't worry about any of this," Dimitri said. "None of it concerns us."But even as he said those words, Eve understood that the world outside their penthouse sanctuary was moving in complex ways. That other people were making
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 429: What Happened At Your Father's Estate?
They lay there for a while.Eventually, Eve propped herself up on her elbow and looked down at him."What happened at your father's estate?" she asked.Dimitri was quiet for a moment."Do you really want to know?" he asked, and there was something cautious in his tone, as if he was testing whether she actually wanted to know, or whether she was asking casually."Yes," Eve said. "I want to know. I want to understand what you're dealing with."Dimitri studied her for a long moment, his expression unreadable."If I tell you," he said slowly, "You're going to realize that bringing you to Rome wasn't just romantic...it was a statement. It was a declaration that I don't fear the political consequences of having you here.""I already know that," Eve said. "I figured that out the moment you brought me. So tell me what's happening."Dimitri pulled her close and held her against his chest, her head resting over his heart."Isabella is gone," he said simply. "Dante took her from her father's est
UNDRESSED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter 428: How Long Can Isabella Last Without This Medication?
"No," Luca said. "It's too sophisticated. Too hidden. Whoever created this went to extreme lengths to ensure it couldn't be traced. The pharmaceutical knowledge required, the resources needed....it's professional work.""Then narrow it down," Dante commanded. "Who could create something like this?"Luca took a breath."Boss," he said slowly, "there are only two organizations I know of that could create something this complex.""Tell me," Dante said.Luca hesitated for just a moment. He knew what he was about to say carried serious weight."The first is The Covenant," Luca said.There was a pause on the other end of the line."The second," Luca continued, "is Prometheus Laboratories.""Prometheus Laboratories?" Dante said, and there was something in his tone that suggested he'd heard the name but didn't know much about it."Yes, boss," Luca said. "They're very mysterious. They don't announce themselves like The Covenant does. But they're powerful. Possibly on par with The Covenant in t
