Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Now, Emanuele is thinking about what he is about to tell Isabella, but he finds it difficult to bring it up. Actually, Emanuele knows that once he tells Isabella about this matter, she will surely understand. However, he still feels hesitant.

A couple of days later, Jessie suddenly urges Emanuele: “Emanuele, have you told your wife yet? I plan to go to Europe next week. If it’s not done soon, they won’t believe me.”

“Yeah, I will do it as soon as possible,” Emanuele replied.

“I know I shouldn’t force you, but I don’t know anyone else there, and they don’t owe me anything. So, I have no choice but to come to you. I’m sorry, Emanuele. I hope you can forgive me for what I’m doing.”

Jessie’s sincere apology makes Emanuele feel a bit embarrassed. This woman is quite strange, he thinks. Sometimes so straightforward, and at other times, feeling apologetic.

“Emanuele, I’ve been married before and I’ve truly loved someone. So, I understand the pain of separation. Emanuele, you and Isabella have such a good relationship, of course, I hope you can live a good life together. If you can’t explain it clearly, I can help you explain it to Isabella.”

“No need, I’ll tell Isabella myself.”

After hanging up the phone, Emanuele stood outside the ward and smoked a few cigarettes. The nicotine helped him calm down quickly. When he felt a bit calmer inside, he turned back and went into the ward.

At this time, Isabella was able to use her phone and sit up. In just a few days, she had recovered to this extent, indicating that Isabella’s body was recovering quite quickly.

Emanuele said to Isabella, “Isabella, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Well, when I was in New York, I received help from a friend to quickly find that batch of weapons. But as you know, according to the rules of our Mafia, if someone helps me, I owe them a favor. So, I need to repay this favor.”

Isabella nodded, “I understand, it’s necessary.”

“The favor is, she asked me to pretend to divorce you and then pretend to marry her. She wants to go to Europe for arms trading, but being a woman, those people are unwilling to believe her. And coincidentally, I have a bit of a reputation.”

As a world-famous Mafia boss, everyone treats him with respect.

After Emanuele finished speaking, his heart was beating fast. He was anxiously waiting for Isabella’s response, observing her reaction closely.

But suddenly, he realized that Isabella seemed really calm, so calm that it seemed like it wasn’t a big deal.

“Isabella, what do you think? Should I agree to her?”

“Emanuele, you don’t need to ask me. I support whatever you do. Besides, we aren’t really getting divorced, it’s just a fake divorce. You’re not really marrying her. We are husband and wife. If we can’t trust each other on this, how can we grow old together?”

Emanuele knew Isabella would definitely agree with his idea. However, when Isabella actually said these words, Emanuele felt as if his heart had been firmly grasped by something, a suffocating feeling overwhelming him.

This made Emanuele unable to help but embrace Isabella, afraid of hurting her. When he held Isabella, his strength was much gentler, almost cautiously.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Afterwards, Emanuele held Isabella’s chin and kissed her. His kiss was passionate and lingering, biting Isabella’s lips, his tongue entering her mouth, savoring the fragrance between Isabella’s lips and teeth.

Isabella responded slowly to Emanuele’s kiss.

As they kissed, Emanuele felt as if his whole body was engulfed in flames, becoming hotter and hotter. But he had to restrain himself. Isabella’s body was still severely injured, and he certainly couldn’t do anything like that.

Finally, after kissing for a long time, Emanuele couldn’t help himself anymore and released Isabella.

Looking at Isabella’s teary eyes and her swollen lips, she seemed as if she was waiting to be ravished. But when he looked at Isabella’s injuries, Emanuele instantly regained his senses.

“I’ll go to the bathroom,” Emanuele turned and walked into the bathroom, closing the door.

Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Isabella couldn’t help but smile. She knew why Emanuele suddenly went to the bathroom. Because he couldn’t help himself.

In fact, she also couldn’t help herself, but unfortunately, her current physical condition was too bad. Even if she couldn’t help it, she still had to try to endure it.

Emanuele was about to go to Europe with Jessie, and when the news came out, everyone was surprised. However, a few people close to Emanuele probably knew what was going on, and they didn’t inquire about it.

Grazia also heard about this, and she wanted to ask Isabella about it, but Rocco stopped her.

“Emanuele must have some other purpose. Wait for a while, and if they are really divorced, it won’t be too late for you to ask then.”

“Oh, Rocco, you men are ruthless. How can you even scheme about marriage? Can marriage also be pretended? I feel it’s disrespectful to your vows in the church.”

Grazia shook her head. Rocco looked at Grazia, who still didn’t know about Isabella’s serious injury.

Emanuele told him, but he instructed him to keep it from Grazia. After all, Grazia had just given birth not long ago, and knowing this, she would definitely want to go to Chicago. And Chicago is not safe right now; it wouldn’t be good if she got hurt.

Rocco also kept it from her because he definitely didn’t want Grazia to go to Chicago.

On the other hand, Isabella’s wounds were healing faster and faster, and she was able to walk now. Today was also the day she was going to have a full-body checkup.

“It’s great, Mrs. Lombardi. Your body is slowly recovering. Although there was a fracture, it has been mended. If you rest and recuperate slowly, there won’t be any aftereffects in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Isabella was very happy. Next, the doctors checked Isabella’s internal organs. However, Isabella’s body had been crushed, and some of her internal organs had also been damaged, and they were now in the process of recovery.

But when the doctors examined Isabella’s uterus, they couldn’t help but frown.

“There is some bad news, Mrs. Lombardi. Your uterus seems to have been seriously impacted before, and you may not be able to have children in the future.”
