Semua Bab The Mafia King’s Bride; He’s danger. She’s revenge : Bab 1 - Bab 10

ISABELLA'S POV“Name and ID, Ma'am” The burly man at the velvet draped entrance said, his hand outstretched while he gave me a slow, lazy look but I could swear I felt his eyes pause at my exposed cleavage firmly jutted up by the push-up bra I had worn as the jewels angel mask over my eyes glinted under the light.At least I could confirm that the bra was doing its job.“Juliette Sergio” I lied smoothly, a smile on my lips as I handed the man the fake ID that had been made specially for me tonight.The man took it, his tongue swiping against his lower lips as our fingers brushed lightly. He looked down at the ID for a second before looking at me again, a glint in his eyes. “Sergio?” He asked, his gaze dropping to my cleavage again as I knowingly folded my arms, pushing my boobs even further, an innocent look in my eyes.I needed to get in at all costs.“Yes, that's my father, do you know him?” I asked, my smile ever present as I collected the ID from him, placing it into the red bag h

MATTEO’S POVMy head tipped back against the hospital bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling as the sound of the heart monitor beeping steadily irritated me even further. I had been stuck here for over twenty-four hours, trapped in this sterile building the family called a "private hospital."The bullet had almost been fatal but thankfully I was out of danger but the doctor said I would be discharged by evening. I hated it here already.There was a knock—two short raps. Familiar. I could feel my jaw clench as the door opened.I already knew who it was.Don Enzo Romano, my father, walked in, flanked by two of his usual guards that never left his side, his face was hard and I could feel the atmosphere in the room became thick with the tension.The door shut behind him, and he barely spared me a glance before muttering, “Out. Leave us.”The guards didn’t hesitate, they simply bowed and walked out, the door shut behind them.The moment we were alone, silence descended heavily on us both.I didn’

ISABELLA'S POV.“Was he losing his mind now coupled with the fact that he was a dickhead?”Of course, I didn't say it out loud.I stayed silent. “Didn't you hear me?” he uttered, and as usual, the tone of his voice indicated how stern and strict he was.My heart hammered rapidly and violently as he moved closer to where I stood. I was so sure that he could hear my heart race beneath my silk dress.He lifted his right hand and brought it closer to my face.“Oh no.”I muttered in a very low voice.No–No–No.Was he going to kiss me now?I gulped down saliva.I closed my eyes in fear.I soon felt his fingers move my hair that covered my face behind my ears.“Now, I can see your face better.” “Now, I'm sure you're the girl from the other day who saved my life.” His hot breath brushed my face as he spoke.Suddenly, my heart stopped pounding.I was sure now that he wasn't going to kiss me.He moved backwards and away from me. My eyes were now opened and I couldn't help not to notice the de

ISABELLA’S POV.This maid’s voice rang in my head still, “Don’t resist him.” Long after the door clicked shut, each word cut deeper as I continued to think about it.The box, yes!If I opened it, I could get an answer to my questions, something to quench my curiosity.I hurried to the bed and sat on it. The brown envelope and the golden box were next to each other on the bed.Two things that bothered me just there.I reached for the brown envelope again as the thought of what I had read previously clouded my head.“He knows you lied.”My chest began to tighten, maybe from fear or the fact that Matteo was closing in on me already. Would I be able to still achieve the reason why I came here in the first place? What if it was from the jealous women? I didn’t even know what to think or believe now.I dropped the brown envelope back on the bed and reached for the golden box.I hesitated at first but I had no other choice.I untied the golden rope slowly that was used to keep the box tog

ISABELLA’S POV.My feet began to fail me. I lost total balance of my body.I began to shake and the heels I was wearing made the whole matter worse.I began to feel dizzy as well, as I visualized in my head all the notes I had received for the past few hours. “Your aunt sends her regards.”“He knows you lied.”“Trust no one, especially not him.”I was losing my mind. I was about to drown in a huge and deep pool of confusion.The note slipped from my hand and I managed to bend over to pick it up.I was indeed confused.How did he find out? Or was he doing all these to scare me?I was just making up a lot of reasons in my head because I didn't know what exactly to believe.“How sure are you that he was the one who sent the other two notes?” A tiny voice echoed in my head.“Who else, if not him?” Another voice added.All these voices and all these thoughts in my head were driving me nuts.Maybe Carla was working with him, I thought to myself.I didn't know what to believe anymore and i
