Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

However, that’s life. Some people slowly leave your life, and new ones enter.

Even though Isabella was upset, she didn’t stop Elisa from leaving. She wished Elisa could continue to hold her ground and hoped she would become better.

Afterwards, Isabella adjusted to a new rhythm of life. She went to the hospital every day, returned home after work, and chatted with Emanuele. They only had evenings together. Sometimes Emanuele had to go out to handle matters and even then, they had no time together in the evenings.

“Isabella, please, I feel like we hardly ever see each other now. Can I come to the hospital to visit you, have lunch with you at noon?” Emanuele asked.

“No, it would be terrible if my colleagues saw us,” Isabella replied.

Isabella yearned to return to a normal life, at least in her work. Emanuele was so well-known that if he came to the hospital, he would surely be recognized, and her identity would be exposed.

Emanuele was puzzled. He clearly couldn’t understand why Isabella insisted on concealing her identity. Was being an esteemed mafia queen something to be ashamed of?

“I don’t care. I just want to be a normal person. From the start, I wanted to have a normal life,” Isabella said.

Since she couldn’t realize her desires, she at least wanted to be as normal as possible in her work.

“What’s so great about being normal? Isabella, I don’t quite understand your thinking, but I respect it,” Emanuele said, kissing Isabella’s forehead. “Tonight, you must make it up to me.”

Isabella hadn’t expected Emanuele to demand compensation. She was taken aback.

Emanuele caressed Isabella’s lips. His eyes conveyed an uncontrollable desire, deep and endless, like an infinite ocean. Isabella felt herself gradually sinking into his gaze.

She knew what this man was thinking. These days, almost every night, he tirelessly indulged her, and it seemed like he would never grow weary of it. She was starting to feel afraid.

“Or, let’s rest tonight?” Isabella said, feeling nervous, swallowing hard.

Emanuele simply embraced her and headed upstairs. “Isabella, if you rest, what will I do? Don’t worry, we’ll be happy together. Aren’t you always excited every night?”

She was indeed excited, but Emanuele’s stamina was inexhaustible. Despite her fondness for Emanuele, after the initial excitement, she would be left exhausted by his attentions. It seemed like this man always had an endless reserve of energy in bed.

At that moment, Emanuele carried Isabella to the bed, then began to kiss her. Isabella had no chance to resist. Under his kisses, her clothes were removed.

Isabella started feeling warm and weak. She felt like a puddle of water, letting Emanuele touch and caress her, from her breasts to her waist, then to her most sensitive area.

Until her desire peaked, Isabella watched as Emanuele entered her body, stimulating her most sensitive parts in various ways, making her body increasingly sensitive and eager for more.

God, Isabella felt like Emanuele was going to tire her out again and again.

Sure enough, just as she had imagined, Emanuele had countless ways to indulge her, leaving Isabella completely defenseless. Finally, she felt herself losing consciousness.

She pleaded with Emanuele not to torment her. At that moment, she heard Emanuele say, “Isabella, how about we have another child?”

Of course, he didn’t dare to have a child with Isabella so soon. Although Isabella’s body had mostly recovered, it hadn’t fully healed. The doctors said they would have to wait another six months before having a child.

But he thought they could at least make a plan and see how Isabella was doing now.

However, his probing statement immediately made Isabella tense.

“I don’t want a child right now,” Isabella said. “Emanuele, I think you were right before. Perhaps we should wait until you’re forty, until everything is stable, before having a child.”

His words reminded her of her daughter, the child she had accidentally lost. Thinking about it now, her heart still ached.

Seeing Isabella’s fragile and sad expression, tears welled up in her eyes.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Emanuele hugged Isabella, comforting her. “I’m sorry, Isabella. If you don’t want a child, we won’t have one for now. Once it’s safe, as safe as Rocco, we can have our own child.”

Isabella nodded.

She tried her best not to feel sad. She knew that Emanuele was just as upset as she was. He wanted a child, probably thinking that having a child would help healtheir inner wounds.

Isabella understood these principles, but in reality, crossing that threshold was not easy at all.

“Emanuele, give me some more time,” Isabella said to Emanuele.

“Okay, Isabella, you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. If you don’t want to, we won’t. We have plenty of time,” Emanuele said.

He didn’t want Isabella to feel too pressured.

Isabella nodded.

She believed she would surely overcome her fear.

“Isabella, I can see you’re getting better now, and I’m very happy,” Grazia’s smile in the video was infectious. She had been very worried about Isabella, afraid that she might never recover. But now, seeing the sparkle in Isabella’s eyes again, she was overjoyed.

Looking at Grazia’s slightly plumper face and fuller figure, Isabella realized that it was almost time for her to have a child too.

Time flew by. Before she knew it, Grazia was about to have a baby.

“Grazia, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m happy for you, too,” Isabella said.

Grazia smiled, but then tears started to well up in her eyes. “Isabella, I haven’t forgotten about Andrew. I miss him a lot.”

Isabella immediately comforted her, “Andrew is in heaven. Seeing you so happy now, he must be happy too.”

Since Grazia got married, Isabella had never mentioned Andrew in front of her. Whenever they talked, they only discussed cheerful things.

However, hearing Grazia suddenly bring up Andrew now, Isabella also felt a bit sad.

Andrew was a very warm-hearted man. It’s just a pity that he left too soon, and quite cruelly at that.

But that’s how the mafia world was. Even though things seemed calm now, she couldn’t guarantee absolute safety for herself.

There were many enemies lurking in the darkness. If Emanuele ever let his guard down, they would surely pounce.
