All Chapters of Shadows of Forbidden Desire-I slept with my mafia bro in-law: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Three weeks later, the house was finally quiet.Not the uneasy quiet they had grown accustomed to. Not the kind that made everyone reach for a weapon whenever a floorboard creaked.This was different.It was ordinary.Almost peaceful.Sunlight poured through the large windows of the Moretti house, warming the wooden floors and the furniture that had spent years covered in dust. The old mansion had been cleaned from top to bottom. Broken windows had been replaced. The damaged doors had been repaired. The rooms that once held secrets now held people.Too many people, according to Sofia."Someone has stolen my bathroom."Grace looked up from her breakfast."How can someone steal a bathroom?""Because I haven't had five minutes alone since we moved here."Amelia laughed."There are twelve bathrooms in this house.""And somehow all twelve are occupied whenever I need one."Clara walked into the dining room carrying a cup of coffee."You complain too much."Sofia pointed at her."You've bee

The room went completely still.The man's gun remained pressed against Clara's temple.Dante's finger rested against the trigger, but he didn't fire.One wrong movement could kill her."Put the gun down," Dante said.The stranger smiled."You first."Dante didn't move."Who are you?"The man looked at Isabella."Ask your father."Everyone turned toward Gabriel.Gabriel's expression had hardened."Silas."The stranger smiled."So you remember me.""Unfortunately."Silas laughed."We spent years looking for you.""You found me.""Eventually."Maria stepped forward."What do you want?"Silas looked at her."The archive.""You already know where it is.""I know.""Then why do you need Isabella?""Because the archive belongs to the Laurent heir."Isabella looked at the ring."The ring."Silas nodded."Only your blood can unlock the final chamber."Gabriel's face changed."You don't know what you're asking for."Silas laughed."Don't I?"He pushed Clara forward."Open it."Isabella looked a

The first explosion shook the underground hospital so violently that dust poured from the ceiling.Isabella grabbed the nearest table for balance.A second explosion followed.This time, the lights flickered.Children screamed somewhere down the corridor.Helena immediately turned toward the guards."Move the children to the eastern shelter."Three people ran."Everyone else stays on level one."Dante checked his weapon."How many entrances?""Four," Gabriel answered."And how many are they attacking?""All four."Sofia stared at the security monitors."These people really don't believe in knocking."Grace moved beside her."How many?""At least thirty."Adrian looked at Gabriel."Thirty?"Gabriel shook his head."That's only the first wave."Dante sighed."Of course."Isabella looked at the screens.Silas stood outside the main entrance.He wasn't hiding.He looked directly into the camera.Then he lifted a microphone."Isabella."Her stomach tightened.Silas smiled."You have someth

Isabella couldn't breathe.The words hung in the room like something physical.You're not my biological daughter.She stared at Maria.Then at Gabriel.Then at Helena.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The silence became unbearable."Say it again."Maria's lips trembled."Isabella...""Say it again."Maria closed her eyes."You are not my biological daughter."Isabella stepped backward.Dante immediately moved toward her.She raised her hand."Don't."He stopped.She looked at Maria."Then whose daughter am I?"Maria started crying."I don't know how to tell you.""Try."Gabriel stepped forward."Isabella."She turned toward him."Don't."He stopped."You knew?"His silence answered.She laughed bitterly."Of course you knew."Gabriel swallowed."I knew part of it.""Part?""I knew you weren't Maria's biological child.""Who is my mother?""I don't know."Isabella stared at him."You don't know?""No.""Then why did you call me your daughter?""Because you are my daughter.""By blood?"Gabr

For several seconds, neither sister moved.Isabella stood in the doorway.Elena stood beside the window.They looked almost identical, but there were differences. Isabella carried a quiet tension in her shoulders. Elena held herself differently, more guarded, more observant. Isabella had spent years searching for answers. Elena had spent the same years believing she had none to search for.Then Elena whispered, "You're really my sister?"Isabella nodded."Yes."Elena looked at Lucia."Tell me she's lying."Lucia shook her head."She's telling you the truth."Elena's eyes returned to Isabella."Then why didn't I know?"Isabella swallowed."I didn't know either.""Nobody told you?""No."Elena looked confused."Then how did you find me?""The archive."Elena's expression changed."The archive opened?""Yes.""That's impossible.""It happened."Elena stepped closer."What did you do?""I opened it."Elena stared at her."You opened the original archive?""Yes."Elena's eyes filled with t
