Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“I did that at the time, actually because I wanted to avenge Isabella. William asked me to drug Isabella, I didn’t do it, but I also didn’t tell Isabella in time, which led to Isabella’s miscarriage. I hate William, so I planned to avenge in my own way,” Evelyn tried to speak as calmly as possible about everything, but her voice was still trembling.

Thinking about the things that happened in the past, Evelyn felt as if she had been through a nightmare. But she knew she had to speak out. If she didn’t, it would forever be a burden on her heart, and she would never be able to move on.

James was undoubtedly the most suitable person to confide in. James never expected Evelyn to think like this; this girl was too naive, but she had her own persistence. It’s good, but in the world of the mafia, not to mention Evelyn, even he wouldn’t dare to go into a fight alone. Unprepared fights would only end in a terrible way. He never expected Evelyn to have such courage, to go find William alone and seek revenge?

No wonder when they saw the wound on William’s shoulder, it turned out Evelyn had stabbed him.

“Evelyn, are you out of your mind?” James couldn’t help but scold Evelyn.

A ruthless person like William, who didn’t even spare the child in Isabella’s belly. If William didn’t like Evelyn, he would definitely kill her directly, even before Evelyn died, he would torture her severely.

Fortunately, he was somewhat grateful. William was infatuated with Evelyn’s body and was reluctant to kill her easily. But even so, Evelyn was still tortured by William to an inhuman state.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

No wonder when he found Evelyn, she looked so serious.

But he should also be grateful that Evelyn was still alive, allowing him to confess his feelings to her, allowing him to be with her.

Thank God!

Evelyn didn’t expect that after she explained, James not only didn’t comfort her but instead was harsh with her. This made Evelyn involuntarily shrink her neck. James’ angry appearance was still quite frightening. But before she could be completely afraid, he pulled her into his arms.

James hugged her tightly, as if afraid of losing her, so tightly that Evelyn felt almost breathless in his arms.

“Evelyn, don’t be so foolish in the future. When seeking revenge, we men can handle it, rather than putting you, a woman, in such a dangerous situation. If something had happened to you at that time, everything would have been lost,” he couldn’t bear to think about how heartbroken and sad he would be if something had happened to Evelyn.

“I understand. At that time, I just wanted to find William as soon as possible, without considering much else,” Evelyn admitted.

In fact, James knew that it was indeed because they had tracked Evelyn’s whereabouts that they found William. Otherwise, William might have hidden for a long time.

The two calmed their emotions in the car. James took Evelyn out of the car, and they went to meet Evelyn’s parents.

Evelyn’s parents breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Evelyn return safely. During this time, they had been very bored in the apartment. They felt that their peaceful life of over forty years had been suddenly shattered, and now, with Evelyn’s return, they could finally relax.

Meanwhile, Evelyn, James, and her parents met. On the other side, after receiving the message Evelyn sent, Isabella couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She also told Lilly about what happened last night.

“James said Evelyn got drunk, and he took her to his apartment.”

As for what happened next, everyone was adults, and there was no need to guess; they all knew.

Lilly was also very happy. “Evelyn can start a new life again, nothing could be better.”

Isabella nodded, genuinely happy for Evelyn. At least, James wouldn’t be a scumbag like William; she felt James was more suitable for Evelyn. She even looked forward to Evelyn getting married.

However, thinking of the message Evelyn sent her, she already knew the truth about why she suddenly left last night. She guessed that when they met next time, Evelyn would give her a piece of her mind.

However, sacrificing herself for Evelyn’s happiness, Isabella thought it was worth it. And she also had to prepare to attend the party with Emanuele.

Before, Isabella used to attend parties often, but since her mother and stepfather passed away, their lives had changed drastically, and they rarely attended gatherings.

This time, Emanuele said only business elites would be present at the banquet. Now, Emanuele had been working hard to clean up his image. The influence of the mafia was only suitable for the dark, in public, he was actually the CEO of a company.

Thinking of Emanuele’s grand office building and the overthousand employees inside, all legitimate hires, Isabella thought, if he truly managed to clean up his act, she wouldn’t have to live in fear anymore.

However, these things take time.

On the day of the banquet, Isabella wore a silver gown that accentuated her figure. The fitted style outlined her beautiful silhouette, and under the lights, it sparkled.

Isabella had her hair up, revealing her delicate face and slender neck. She had lost weight recently and was satisfied with her current physique.

However, Emanuele wasn’t quite satisfied. He touched Isabella’s hip, feeling that it wasn’t as good as before.

“Isabella, could you eat a bit more and gain some weight in the future?” Emanuele requested.

Isabella shook her head. “You’re asking for too much. I feel good about myself the way I am now.”

Isabella thought she needed to exercise more, maybe even work on getting a toned stomach. Perhaps she could go to the gym after work and exercise with Elisa?

Thinking about it, Isabella felt it would be a good idea, albeit a bit tiring.

Emanuele embraced Isabella. “Isabella, you are truly cruel to me now. You can’t fulfill even this simple request of mine.”

Isabella’s waist had become much slimmer. Before, she had a bit of flesh, but now, when Emanuele touched her, it felt uncomfortable.

Nowadays, girls aimed to be thin, but Emanuele didn’t want Isabella to think that way. He preferred a healthy, even slightly plump figure.

“Emanuele, look at yourself. If others knew you’re the head of a large corporation and yet you’re acting so spoiled with me, what would they think?” Isabella found Emanuele a bit amusing.

“I don’t care what they think, darling. You are my favorite,” Emanuele said, then leaned in to kiss Isabella’s lips.

The two kissed deeply, their breaths intertwining passionately.

But as the kiss continued, Emanuele’s hands began to wander over Isabella’s body, and she immediately pushed him away.

Emanuele looked displeased. “Enough, Isabella. We have to attend the banquet later. I’ve prepared everything carefully, and I don’t want you to ruin it.”

She actually valued this banquet a lot more than before. Unlike before, she didn’t have to worry about her personal safety as much this time.
