Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

In the air, there was something slowly spreading, a thing called suffocation.

Isabella stared at Emanuele, and Emanuele stared back at Isabella. At this moment, their gazes intertwined, and neither of them spoke.

Karen was the first to break the silence. She looked at Emanuele, seemingly shocked. “Who is she? Could it be your wife, Emanuele?”

“I am his wife. May I ask who you are?” Isabella regained her composure and asked Karen.

“Oh, I’ve known Emanuele since I was little. We used to play together. I just didn’t expect him to get married so quickly. I don’t know you. You weren’t a Mafia princess before, were you?” Karen walked towards Isabella, her chin lifted high, her black hair cascading like a waterfall behind her, giving her a powerful aura.

Although she didn’t say anything offensive, her tone, actions, and informing Isabella about her past with Emanuele seemed like a show-off.

Isabella, however, was not one to be internally fragile. Having been by Emanuele’s side for so long, she had encountered all kinds of people. Karen, this naive young girl, didn’t bother her.

Isabella knew she lacked a powerful background, but she was Emanuele’s wife, and that alone was stronger than any background, right?

“I was just an ordinary person. I don’t have such a powerful background like you all. However, Emanuele still chose me.”

She didn’t want to compare herself to Karen, but to her, it seemed Karen was looking down on her because of her lack of background.

Isabella finished speaking and saw anger flash across Karen’s face. Karen looked at Emanuele. “Emanuele, you really lost out by marrying such a wife.”

“Enough! Karen, if you didn’t come to wish me happiness in my new marriage and have other things to say, you can leave now.”

Emanuele was angry; his face looked stern, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he could kill.

This scared Karen. She had never been stared at by Emanuele with such eyes before.

Phillip quickly walked over to Karen and said, “Miss Reid, it’s late. You should go back and rest.”

On the surface, he wore a smile, but in reality, he was already quite nervous.

Oh God, would the boss find fault with him later? He didn’t manage to stop the wife and Miss Reid from bumping into each other.

As Emanuele’s assistant, he knew Emanuele hadn’t returned home these past few days. They must have had a fight; otherwise, with how sweet they were before, there was no reason for him not to go home for days.

Thinking about this, Phillip was very distressed, hoping that the boss wouldn’t blame him later.

Although Karen was unwilling, because Emanuele was angry, she didn’t dare to stay any longer and turned to leave.

She knew how terrifying Emanuele’s anger could be. Previously, anyone who angered him had their heads twisted off.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

If she weren’t Bratva’s princess, Emanuele probably wouldn’t let her off so easily.

However, Emanuele was angry because of that woman? Karen was also angry. How could such a powerful woman have no status?

Emanuele must have been deceived by her!

Karen was furious, thinking that she must find an opportunity to deal with Isabella severely.

After Karen left, Phillip also sensibly went out. In the vast office, only Emanuele and Isabella remained.

Isabella placed the food she had just bought from the roadside restaurant in front of Emanuele. “Eat.”

Emanuele opened it, and the aroma of the food wafted in. Originally, he wasn’t hungry, but now, looking at the food in front of him, Emanuele began to feel a bit hungry.

However, it wasn’t mealtime yet.

Emanuele looked at Isabella, noticing that her expression was steady and calm. It seemed that Karen’s appearance hadn’t affected her.

Awesome, Emanuele couldn’t help but appreciate. He didn’t expect Isabella to grow so rapidly. In the past, she could at least let him sense her emotions, but now, she had concealed everything so well that he couldn’t detect any anomalies.

Truly his woman, Emanuele thought.

However, even though Isabella showed no emotions now, Emanuele could judge from the previous events that Isabella was definitely not happy at the moment.

“Isabella, let me explain.” Emanuele said.

He didn’t want more misunderstandings between them. He didn’t want children for the time being, while Isabella wanted them. Emanuele knew this contradiction wouldn’t be resolved anytime soon.

So, let’s explain about Karen’s presence.

“I have a good relationship with Karen’s brother, who is currently the head of Bratva. I have always treated Karen as my sister, but she unexpectedly developed feelings for me.”

“You don’t need to explain so much to me. Even if you are really together with her, it has nothing to do with me.” Isabella said coldly. “I didn’t want to marry you in the first place. You forced me to be with you. We might as well get divorced.”

Due to anger, she spoke hurtful words without thinking.

Emanuele was somewhat annoyed by Isabella’s words.

How could this woman casually mention divorce?

In his view, marriage was a sacred thing. In his heart, there was only widowhood, no divorce. Since they were already married, it meant he had long regarded Isabella as the wife he would spend his life with. It wasn’t something to be easily divorced.

Emanuele stood up and walked to Isabella, bending down to gaze at her.

“Really doesn’t matter?” His body pressed against Isabella’s. At this moment, his expression became somewhat dark, like a hunter in the night, exuding a dangerous aura.

Isabella instinctively stepped back. This man looked frightening, but as she retreated, he approached.

Watching Isabella evade, Emanuele smiled, taking another step forward to close the distance.

It wasn’t until Isabella backed up to the edge of the cabinet that she had no place to go and had to stop.

Leaning against Isabella, his body pressed tightly against hers, with no gap between them. Isabella felt the powerful pressure emanating from Emanuele.

Even though she felt a bit scared inside, Isabella forced herself to stay calm. She looked at Emanuele. “What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why get so close to me?”

“I just want to be with you.” Emanuele straightforwardly reached out and embraced Isabella.

Isabella struggled, but her strength was insufficient. She could only be tightly controlled by Emanuele.

Then, Emanuele lowered his head, kissing Isabella’s lips.

Emanuele’s kiss was, as always, domineering and intense. He nibbled at Isabella’s lips, his tongue swirling in her mouth with a force to destroy everything, forcing Isabella to endure Emanuele’s kiss.

She used to enjoy Emanuele’s kisses, but now, she didn’t like it.

She was someone with mental needs greater than physical ones. Even if she desired Emanuele, she didn’t want to kiss him when they were in the midst of a conflict.

However, Emanuele seemed unwilling to let her go. He passionately kissed her, depriving her of every inch of breath, making Isabella gradually feel a growing sense of suffocation.

Oh God, spare her.
