Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“Rocco, take good care of Grazia,” Emanuele said. It had been a long time since he had seen his sister. Now that their parents were both deceased, Grazia was the only close relative he had left in the world. When he had arranged for Grazia to marry Rocco in Italy, it was because he believed Rocco had the ability to protect her. Chicago was currently too chaotic, but under Rocco’s rule, Italy had become incredibly peaceful. He believed that marrying Grazia to Rocco was the best choice, and now it seemed that he had been right.

“I know, and you too, Emanuele, take care of yourself and your wife.”

Their relationship had previously been based on mutual benefit, but after he married Grazia, Emanuele became like a brother to him. Naturally, he also hoped that Emanuele would be safe.

“If you need any help, Emanuele, you can ask me. We are family now, and I will definitely help you if I can.”

“Not for now, but if I need your help, I won’t hesitate.”

After a brief chat, they hung up. Rocco sighed; he couldn’t shake the feeling that Emanuele was facing as many difficulties now as he had in the past. Thinking of his deceased wife, even though many years had passed, Rocco still missed her. She was the woman he had loved most in his life. He loved Grazia as well, but because of his previous intense affection, his feelings for Grazia were not as deep. Especially at the beginning, their relationship was purely a marriage of convenience, and they both maintained a polite distance from each other. But now, their feelings for each other had gradually developed. At least, after Grazia became pregnant, he made sure to take care of her in a way no other man could.

At that moment, Grazia entered the study and looked at Rocco. “Rocco, I’m going to give birth next month. I’m a little scared alone. Can Isabella come to keep me company?”

After getting married, Grazia hadn’t made many friends in Italy; most of her friends were in the United States, in Chicago. Although Rocco would arrange for his cousins and other relatives to accompany her, Grazia felt that these people were not as close to her as her friends in the United States. When she was in the US, she and her friends would share everything. Despite Isabella being much younger, Grazia regarded her as a sister, and they were very close. She missed Isabella a lot, especially at this moment, when she was about to give birth.

Rocco hesitated at her request. “I’ll ask Emanuele.”

He needed to consult Emanuele and Isabella about this matter. As long as they were willing, Rocco saw no problem with it. He understood Grazia’s desire for Isabella’s company; she felt lonely in Italy.

Grazia was very happy when Rocco agreed. She even kissed Rocco on the cheek. “Rocco, thank you. I believe Isabella will definitely agree.”

“What? I’m going to Italy to accompany Grazia?” Isabella looked at Emanuele, a little surprised. Emanuele had previously told her to stay inside the apartment and not go anywhere, but now he was asking her to go to Italy.

“Grazia is about to give birth. She has no friends or relatives there. She’s very lonely. I think Italy is safe now, and I trust you to go there. Once Emanuele has sorted out everything in Chicago and it’s safe for you to return, it will be just right.”

“But I’m worried about you,” Isabella frowned. She knew she was in danger in Chicago, but she also worried about leaving Emanuele alone there.

Emanuele laughed and kissed Isabella on the lips. “Isabella, even if you stay in Chicago, you’ll be confined to the apartment and unable to go anywhere. It’s better to go to Italy, where you’ll have more freedom. And you have to trust my abilities. As long as you’re safe, I won’t have any worries, and I’ll focus entirely on dealing with the situation.”

Isabella looked at Emanuele, who seemed so relaxed, just like he used to be, arrogant and confident, as if he could trample the whole world underfoot. But now, he was also enduring pain. His enemies were hiding in the shadows, while he was in the open, unaware of the sniper aiming at him.

Isabella was very worried.

“Don’t worry, Isabella. As long as you’re safe, I can handle anything. It’s best for you to go to Italy now. Trust me, Isabella, I am powerful. I can quickly eliminate any danger. Wait for me to come and get you in Italy.”

Emanuele stroked Isabella’s hair. Isabellahad always taken great care of her hair, leaving it smooth and shiny, which he loved. Her skin was also smooth, exuding youthful vitality. Her mindset had grown stronger; she had always been resilient. No matter the setbacks, she always managed to stand up again. This kind of Isabella had long become a goddess in Emanuele’s heart. He hoped she would always be safe and never encounter any danger.

Even though Isabella was reluctant, she had to embark on the journey to Italy. Emanuele didn’t accompany her to the airport but saw her off at the plane.

“Emanuele, please take care of yourself,” Isabella said.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I will,” Emanuele kissed Isabella’s forehead and then turned to Tony and Harry. “Take good care of Isabella.”

As the plane took off, Emanuele stood on the ground, watching until it disappeared from view.

Phillip could see that Emanuele was not in a good mood. He tried to comfort him, saying, “Boss, now that the missus has left, we don’t need to be distracted by her safety. We can focus all our efforts on the fight.”

“The fight?” Emanuele turned to Phillip, his eyes filled with mockery. “We don’t even know who the hell we’re up against.”

He knew the situation was very critical, and a war was about to break out, but he didn’t know who their enemy was. The people from William’s side had all been cleared out by him, so this would be a new force.

“The photos were taken from William’s surveillance. These surveillance videos were either handed over by William before the incident, or someone obtained them through technical means,” Emanuele said, smoking a cigarette.

Normally, their surveillance would automatically upload to the cloud. At the time, they had found William’s surveillance in the cloud and deleted all the footage. But who knew if someone would recover that information?

Emanuele called Zak and handed this matter over to him. As a top hacker, Emanuele believed Zak could handle it.
