Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Isabella felt fierce and aggressive, like a mother tiger. She even found herself entertaining thoughts of murder. She wanted to kill Christina; that cursed woman had actually cursed Emanuele. Isabella felt she couldn’t forgive her!

However, as she saw the fear in Christina’s eyes, she gradually calmed down. She felt scared by the thoughts she had just entertained. How could she have such terrifying ideas? Even if she despised someone, she had no right to take their life.

She wasn’t Emanuele. While she was now the Mafia queen, with power, she couldn’t do that. She still remembered she was a doctor. A doctor’s duty is to save lives.

Even if she might not be able to continue as a doctor, in her heart, she still had the desire to save people. But now, because of what Christina had said, she found herself contemplating killing her.

Isabella found this side of herself a bit frightening.

“Isabella, I remember you used to be a doctor. You’re now saying these things. You’re so scary, so frightening,” murmured Christina. She now knew Isabella’s weak spot.

Seeing Isabella turn pale and looking vulnerable after her provocation, Christina felt like laughing. Isabella was now the wife of the head of the Chicago Mafia, so she couldn’t do anything to her. But now that Emanuele was in mortal danger, if Emanuele really died, and the Chicago Mafia was taken over by someone else, Isabella would have nothing. She could bully Isabella, and even kill her.

Now, no matter how arrogant Isabella seemed, in Christina’s eyes, she was nothing. She was about to trample this proud woman under her feet, making her like a slave.

Thinking about this made Christina feel very pleased.

Isabella couldn’t be bothered to argue with Christina. Christina’s words did make her doubt herself.

She was a doctor; how had she become so terrifying?

But this wasn’t her fault!

Isabella looked at Christina and said, “Get out. If you don’t leave on your own, I’ll have the guards throw you out!”

Isabella’s fierce shout startled Christina, who looked at Isabella. “Fine, I’ll go. But, Isabella, pray you don’t fall from grace.”

Otherwise, once Isabella was in her hands, she would show her what it meant to suffer.

Isabella didn’t want to hear any more from Christina. She had sunk into her own pessimistic world.

She was very afraid, truly afraid for Emanuele’s safety.

Isabella looked at Tony beside her. “Is Emanuele in trouble?”

Tony shook his head. “We also don’t know about the boss’s situation.”

He was telling the truth. Since they had come to Italy, they had rarely been in contact with Emanuele because he was very busy. So, they mostly chatted with Phillip. How could they know if the boss was in trouble or not?

If the boss really was in trouble, did it mean they had to rush back to Chicago as soon as possible? They also didn’t know what kind of situation Chicago was in right now.

Isabella immediately called Emanuele, but his phone was unreachable. Isabella had no choice but to call Phillip.

The moment the call connected, Isabella choked out, “Phillip, is Emanuele in danger? Is he okay?”

“Madam, the boss is fine. He’s just not able to take calls right now.”

“Fine? You’re lying to me. If he’s really fine, why hasn’t he replied to my messages for so many days? From what I know about Emanuele, when he goes on a mission, when he goes into battle, it should be resolved within two days at most. Why has there been no news for so long? He must be in trouble!”

“Madam… it’s true. The boss is just on a mission, it’s just that this time the enemy is particularly tough,” Phillip gritted his teeth.

In reality, Emanuele was missing, and they still hadn’t found him. It was highly likely that he had been captured by the enemy. But as long as they hadn’t seen Emanuele’s body, Phillip would consider him to be alive. He remembered Emanuele’s instructions. If anything happened to him, Phillip couldn’t tell Isabella the truth.

This was what Emanuele had instructed Phillip before going into battle. Phillip remembered Emanuele telling him, “Phillip, if something happens to me, and I can’t tell Isabella, you must keep it from her. If Isabella finds out I’m in trouble, she’ll definitely come back. Chicago isn’t safe right now, and her return would be courting death.”

Emanuele had also forbidden Phillip from telling Isabella about his situation. He thought Isabella should be happy every day in Italy and not constantly worried about him. Even if he really encountered an accident, Rocco would take good care of Isabella; he was confident about that. Therefore, he instructed Phillip that if something did happen to him, he must keep it from Isabella and inform her only when Chicago was safe again.

Emanuele didn’t realize he had planned for what would happen after his accident so thoroughly. He had never been like this before. Previously, he had been brave and had never considered future matters. But now, because of his love for Isabella, he had to plan everything. This included what Isabella should do if he really died in battle.

As his wife, if those enemies succeeded, they would definitely not spare Isabella. He could only ask Rocco to protect her. If Isabella spent her whole life in Italy, protected by Rocco, it wouldn’t be easy for those people to harm her.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He wasn’t truly selfish. He had once thought that even if he died, he would take Isabella with him to hell. But now, things had changed. As time passed, his love for Isabella had deepened, and that selfish love had become selfless.

He hoped Isabella would live well. Even if she forgot him in the future, he didn’t mind.

“Difficult?” Isabella still found it hard to understand. “What kind of difficult task would keep the head of the Chicago Mafia occupied for so long? Emanuele has been in this position for many years, and he should be very experienced in handling things. I don’t believe it.”

“Madam, it’s true. The boss’s tasks are all confidential. I can’t explain it to you too clearly. Our phones might also be monitored. You can rest assured. Once the task is completed, I believe the boss will definitely call you first.”

Listening to Phillip’s words, Isabella thought again about what Christina had said. She was also filled with doubts. She didn’t want to believe it, but what else could she do? Phillip was speaking so confidently, as if it were true. She could only choose to believe.

However, Isabella’s heart was still uneasy.

Christina was Rocco’s sister and also a Mafia princess. She must have known something to say those kinds of things. Otherwise, casually cursing a Mafia boss as being near death, Christina would face severe punishment.

Isabella decided to ask Rocco. After all, she also needed to go to the hospital to visit Grazia. In another two days, Grazia would be able to leave the hospital. Her body was very healthy, so her recovery would be quick.
