All Chapters of The Mafia's Princess: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Isabella Lombardi remained curled inside the back of the truck, listening to the steady rumble of the engine.The cramped space was uncomfortable.Her back ached from sleeping in the same position.Her legs felt stiff.And every time the truck went over a bump, she had to hold herself against the side to keep from being thrown around.But she didn't care.She had escaped.That was all that mattered.Now she needed to figure out how to get to Lorenzo.Isabella slowly shifted her position and listened carefully.She could hear the driver occasionally humming beneath his breath.The sound of tires against the road filled the rest of the space.She couldn't simply climb out while the truck was moving.It was too dangerous.And if the driver discovered her, she had no idea what he would do.He could force her back.He could even call the safe house.No.She had to wait.She needed to get off without being seen.Isabella pressed a hand against her stomach.Her expression softened."I'm goin

Luca stumbled out of the secret passage and into the early morning darkness.He stopped for a moment and looked behind him.Nothing.No footsteps.No Valenti soldiers.No gunfire.He was alone.For the first time that night, Luca allowed himself to breathe.He had made it out.Barely.His clothes were dusty.His face was covered in sweat.His breathing was still heavy from the frantic escape.But he was alive.That was all that mattered.Luca glanced toward the road.Morning had arrived.The sky was beginning to brighten, and the darkness that had protected him throughout the night was slowly disappearing.That was a problem.He couldn't return to the Valenti estate.Don Lorenzo would undoubtedly send men there.It would be the first place he would search for him.Luca knew Don Lorenzo too well.The man wouldn't stop.Not after everything that had happened.Not after the betrayal.Not after the attack.Not after Luca had tried to kill him.If Don Lorenzo found him... there would be no

Don Lorenzo Valenti stopped a few feet away from the kneeling Don Rossi."You betrayed me again, Silivio."Don Rossi's shoulders trembled."I know.""You knew exactly what would happen if you returned.""I know.""And yet you came back."Don Rossi said nothing.Don Lorenzo looked toward Valeria.Then back at him."You brought Luca here."Don Rossi swallowed."I did.""You brought armed men into my estate.""I did.""You tried to kill me."Don Rossi lowered his head further."Yes."Don Lorenzo's jaw tightened."And now your daughter is lying there because of your choices."Don Rossi's eyes filled with tears."Please..."His voice was barely audible."Don't punish her for my sins."Don Lorenzo didn't answer.He simply looked at Valeria.She was innocent of her father's recent ambition.She had warned him.She had refused to support his plan.And despite everything, she had tried to stop the attack.Don Lorenzo remembered her words.He remembered how she had warned him about her father's

Luca, looked almost relaxed as Alessandro kept driving as ordered.For the first time since the battle began, he felt in control again.He had lost his army.But he had gained something better.A hostage Don Lorenzo could never ignore.Isabella.Luca glanced at her.Then smiled."Do you know what I love about today?"Isabella didn't answer."I thought I had lost everything."His eyes shifted toward Alessandro through the mirror."Then I found you two."Alessandro's expression remained cold."You think Don Lorenzo will surrender because you have us?"Luca chuckled."No."He leaned back."I think Don Lorenzo will do something much more interesting.""What?"Luca's smile widened."He'll freak out when he sees I have his precious woman."Alessandro said nothing."And when he does..."Luca looked toward Isabella."...I'll finally have the advantage."Isabella's heart sank.She looked down at her stomach.She had escaped the safe house because she wanted Lorenzo.Now Luca was taking her str

For several seconds, Don Lorenzo Valenti didn't breathe.Don Rossi stared at him, and could swear it was the first time he had seen Don Lorenzo panic.The guard continued quickly."They're both inside the vehicle with Luca."Don Lorenzo's eyes widened."Isabella..."The word escaped his lips.She was supposed to be safe.She was supposed to be nowhere near the war.He had deliberately stayed away from her.He had refused to call her because he feared his enemies could trace the connection.He had convinced himself that keeping her hidden was protecting her.And now, she was sitting inside a vehicle with Luca.At his gate.In the middle of his war.How come?Don Lorenzo's expression turned murderous."How?"The guard shook his head."We don't know."Don Lorenzo looked toward the entrance."How did Luca get her?""We don't know, Don."Don Lorenzo's jaw clenched.There's no way Luca could have discovered the safe house.Then another thought struck him.Isabella hadn't simply been capture
