Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

James was very worried that his unnatural lying might be noticed by Emanuele. Fortunately, that did not happen. Emanuele had never lied in front of Emanuele, and Emanuele believed James. He immediately found Phillip and asked him to investigate what had happened to Isabella during this time, especially in the hospital, to see if there was anything he had missed. He actually felt that something was wrong. Initially, after Isabella woke up from the attack, her attitude towards him was not bad. But later, for some reason, Isabella suddenly said she wanted a divorce. It was so sudden that it left Emanuele feeling a bit bewildered. Thinking about it now, it was indeed very strange.

After receiving Emanuele’s call, Phillip also found it strange. “But, boss, haven’t you already divorced Isabella?” Or was he helping Emanuele find a lawyer. “Can’t we investigate after the divorce?” Indeed, Phillip thought, regardless, Emanuele was his boss, and he must have his reasons for doing so. Phillip quickly went to investigate.

Emanuele originally wanted to take the divorce agreement to Isabella, he didn’t want to see Isabella, but he thought that if Isabella really had any difficulties, if Isabella really didn’t want a divorce and was forced to do so… Emanuele frowned and put the divorce agreement in the cabinet. He wouldn’t divorce Isabella until the truth was clear. He wanted to see if Isabella had any compelling reasons to leave him.

Thinking about this, Emanuele’s previously quiet heart seemed to be revitalized. Isabella had been waiting for Emanuele to send her the divorce agreement. As soon as she signed it, they could quickly get divorced. However, these days passed, and Emanuele did not send the divorce agreement. Thinking about this, Isabella couldn’t help but message Emanuele: “I have decided. There is no problem with the divorce agreement. Do you need to print and sign it and send it to me, or should I print and sign it and send it to you?” She typed this message while her fingers were trembling, but she felt that she couldn’t continue to delay, lest there be more troubles.

After a while, Emanuele replied to her: “Don’t worry, Isabella. Wait a little longer. I still have some things to confirm.” Is Emanuele going to go back on his word? Isabella frowned, but Emanuele wasn’t the kind of person to go back on his word. Generally speaking, as long as he promised something, he would definitely follow through. Since he had already agreed to divorce, he couldn’t suddenly change his mind now. It should be like that, but Isabella suddenly felt a little uncertain.

She knew Emanuele’s feelings for her better than anyone else. He probably didn’t want to let her go. If Emanuele didn’t want her to leave, then she really had no way out. Isabella felt very tired now. Since she had already decided to divorce and leave Emanuele, she didn’t want Emanuele to keep trying to keep her.

Isabella did not know that Phillip had already compiled the information about Isabella’s physical condition in the hospital and sent it to Emanuele. Earlier, Emanuele had also seen Isabella’s medical report, and knew that Isabella’s physical condition had recovered quite well. But this time, Emanuele asked Phillip to further investigate and present every detail of her physical condition to him.

Isabella had been in the hospital for some time, and her body had almost recovered. Her attitude only began to change after that. At first, she had even comforted him, telling him not to feel guilty.

At this moment, Emanuele looked at every detail of Isabella’s physical condition. Many aspects had returned to normal and had not caused permanent damage. Only one thing caught Emanuele’s attention, and when he saw it, his eyes narrowed, and his usually strong heart also seemed to falter. Was it like this? Is this why Isabella wanted a divorce? It showed that Isabella’s uterus had been injured and she might not be able to conceive in the future. Did Isabella choose to leave him because of this? Emanuele thought of his own position. Indeed, he needed a qualified heir, and the most basic duty of every Mafia queen was to bear children and raise the next generation of heirs. Did Isabella leave him because she knew she couldn’t conceive?

At this moment, Emanuele felt that he couldn’t remain calm. He wanted to smoke to ease his inner tension, but when he lit a cigarette, his fingers trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, all the complaints, anger, and sadness he had towards Isabella dissipated in an instant, leaving only deep heartache.

He really didn’t know how Isabella hadmanaged to endure all this time, knowing she couldn’t get pregnant. She must have been in a lot of pain. And to choose to divorce him while enduring such physical pain and emotional separation. Emanuele had never empathized with anyone like this before, but now he seemed to understand Isabella’s feelings at that time.

Damn it, why hadn’t he noticed earlier? He had thought that as long as Isabella’s health recovered, everything would be fine, but he had not expected that she had endured such pain. Just thinking about these things made Emanuele feel murderous.

It seemed as though Isabella had deliberately concealed it. When he had asked the doctor about her condition, the doctor hadn’t told him any of this. Damn it, he felt like a fool, completely unaware. Emanuele took a deep breath, his eyes reddening, feeling tears welling up. He had not cried even when he was close to death from his injuries, but now, he felt like crying.

After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, Emanuele decided to go find Isabella. At that time, Isabella was still at Evelyn’s apartment. She was very bored every day now. Evelyn went to work, and she stayed in the apartment. Even the variety shows she used to enjoy, Isabella didn’t like watching anymore. When someone loses interest in everything, they become like this. She was now just waiting to divorce Emanuele and leave Chicago, never to appear in this city again.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, the doorbell rang, and Isabella walked down from the sofa to open the door. She was a little surprised; why would someone come at this time? However, when Isabella saw Emanuele’s tall figure standing outside the door, she was so scared that she covered her mouth.
