Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Emanuele was comforted by Isabella and gradually calmed down, looking at her.

“Isabella, as long as you’re not afraid or upset, that’s good. Rest assured, I’ve handled all the news on the internet. Now we need to find out who the mastermind behind this is.”

However, Emanuele knew that the group of people involved in the beginning had actually died. Could it be that William had left behind photos before he died and sent them to someone else?

And the Sicilians lurking in the shadows, Emanuele also knew that although he had cleared out most of the Sicilians in the city, there were always some who would hide and not reveal their identities, and finding these people wouldn’t be easy.

Just like it took him a long, long time to find William back then, would he have to search for a long time again this time?

Thinking about this, Emanuele couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He was a bit worried that Isabella would once again encounter danger.

No matter who these people hiding in the shadows were, it was clear that they were after Isabella.

They hadn’t come to him immediately, which was already very strange. Logically, they shouldn’t have done that. Because they believed that Isabella was his weakness, that as long as they targeted Isabella, he would collapse?

Indeed, in his heart, Isabella now held the top spot. So, knowing this, Emanuele thought it over and decided to rush back from the company to accompany Isabella, worried that being alone, Isabella would think too much and sink back into a state of depression.

He had worked so hard to pull Isabella out of the abyss and didn’t want to see her fall back into it again.

But now, seeing Isabella’s calm demeanor, Emanuele suddenly felt that he was overthinking.

Isabella was fine, she was very strong, and she seemed so calm. This reassured Emanuele.

“Emanuele, go and do your own things with peace of mind. I may not be able to help you, but I will try to be strong. After all, there’s actually nothing major that can affect me now.”

For Isabella, her mother’s death, the miscarriage, to her, those were as terrifying as doomsday, but she managed to come out of those sad emotions. And now, she felt that the current situation was just a small problem.

Listening to Isabella’s calm words, Emanuele knew that Isabella must be saying this with the most sorrowful heart.

Although she had already come out of it now, thinking about those things must still be distressing.

Emanuele held Isabella in his arms, kissed her hair, and her cheek: “Isabella, I promise, I won’t let you lose anything again.”

He didn’t want to see Isabella in pain and distress like before.

Isabella nodded, “I will cooperate with you, Emanuele. If you’re worried that I might be in danger outside, then I won’t go out. I’ll stay in the apartment and wait for you to completely resolve the situation.”

“Okay.” Emanuele hugged Isabella tightly.

He took away those photos and threatening messages, and seeing those, he felt heartbroken. Isabella’s current strength should also be something she carefully disguised, right?

Thinking about this, Emanuele felt somewhat sad.

Since being with him, she had encountered a lot. If she were an ordinary person, she would only have ordinary worries. Even though she might not have much money, at least she would be free and happy. But now, she had to lose so much.

Even if he had to choose again, Emanuele thought he would still keep Isabella by his side. He was just that selfish of a man.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

But, because of Isabella’s presence, he indeed had many more worries, worrying that Isabella would be hurt by someone, worrying that Isabella would be in danger.

“Emanuele, since you’ve already come back and it’s so late, why don’t you just stay in tonight?” Isabella saw Emanuele’s furrowed brow. To make Emanuele feel at ease, Isabella shifted her attention.

Emanuele looked at Isabella, “Alright, I’ll stay with you tonight.”

Although Isabella said there was nothing wrong, Emanuele was still worried about her. These photos being exposed and seen by so many people made him very worried about Isabella. It would be better to accompany Isabella more.

Seeing Emanuele’s worried look, Isabella couldn’t help but smile. But in truth, the feeling of being cared for was also very warm.

But who is it that’s targeting her?

When Isabella went to take a shower, Emanuele wanted to join her.

“Let’s take a bath together. It’s been a long time since we’ve done that,” Emanuele said in a hoarse voice.

Isabella knew what Emanuele was about to do, so she pushed him away. “No, I’m used to taking a bath alone,” she said.

However, Emanuele embraced her and went straight into the bathroom.

They had redesigned the bathroom, adding a window sill next to the bathtub. This window was specially designed so that they could see the outside scenery from inside, but no one could see inside from the outside.

At that moment, Emanuele filled the bathtub with hot water and then held Isabella as they both lay in the tub.

Both of them were completely naked, their bodies closely pressed together.

Isabella felt Emanuele’s strong body enveloping her from behind.

His muscles looked so firm, like stone, and there were tattoos and various scars on his body.

As Isabella lay in his embrace, she talked to him about Evelyn.

“Evelyn is with James now. You should know about this, right?” she said.

“I know,” Emanuele replied.

“Evelyn was originally hesitant to be with James, but I helped bring them together,” Isabella said, smiling. Her eyes were curved with joy.

“Emanuele, you resisted entering the world of the Mafia before, why are you willing to help bring Evelyn and James together?” Emanuele’s arms tightly held Isabella’s waist, while his other hand helped wash her body.

His hand caressed Isabella’s skin, feeling the smoothness and delicateness of her skin, like fine silk, which he couldn’t get enough of. His hands, calloused from years of training, were rough, but touching Isabella’s skin made her sensitize, causing a shiver to run down her spine.

Breathless, Isabella responded to Emanuele, “Evelyn likes him, and James likes her. I think it’s worth a try. James is certainly capable of protecting Evelyn, isn’t he?”

“Darling, it seems like you really believe in my subordinates. Does that mean you also one hundred percent believe in me?” Emanuele kissed Isabella, his tongue licking her earlobe, creating a warm sensation that made Isabella’s body go limp.

She lay weakly in Emanuele’s embrace.

Oh God, Emanuele really understood those sensitive spots on her body. Just a casual gesture from him could make her body heat up.

“I believe in you, Emanuele,” Isabella turned her head and kissed his lips.

Her initiative made Emanuele’s body instantly stiffen, and he became aroused.

Isabella’s actions made Emanuele’s body instantly tense, and he became aroused.
