Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Isabella is genuinely worried about Emanuele now. She wishes she could return to Chicago immediately, but she knows she can’t. The crisis there hasn’t completely subsided yet.

She has to endure.

During the day, Isabella visits the hospital to see Grazia, and at night, she returns to the estate to sleep. Grazia’s son, Nicholas, is also very well-behaved, sleeping soundly every day, emanating the scent of milk, which Isabella finds irresistible.

When holding Nicholas, Isabella also thinks of her own daughter. If her daughter were still around, she would probably be close to giving birth by now. Initially, she had hoped there would be a chance for them to grow up as siblings, but now it seems that opportunity may never come.

Today, after Isabella woke up, she prepared to visit Grazia, but as she was about to leave, she heard voices at the door.

“What are you doing? Blocking me and not letting me in?” A woman’s sharp voice echoed.

Isabella had a feeling of familiarity. It dawned on her that this was Rocco’s sister, Christina. The things Rocco’s sister had done before left a deep impression on Isabella. At the time, Isabella had driven Christina away; otherwise, Grazia would probably have been bullied to death by this woman.

Isabella couldn’t believe Christina had suddenly showed up, especially just after Grazia had given birth and was still in the hospital. It all seemed very strange to her.

Stepping out, she saw the security guards blocking Christina at the gate. At this moment, Christina was carrying a large bag of things. When she saw Isabella coming out, she froze.

“It’s you!” Christina felt her anger rising.

But considering Isabella’s status as the wife of the head of the Mafia, she became a bit apprehensive. Isabella was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, a smile appeared on Christina’s face.

“Isabella, hello. I heard Grazia had a baby and came specially to visit her.”

Due to the previous incident, her relationship with Rocco had become very tense, and each time she wanted to visit, Rocco refused. No matter how she apologized, Rocco just didn’t want to see her. Her husband, who had always been abusive, had become even more violent now that he knew Rocco couldn’t help her. Christina was now covered in injuries. She wanted to report her husband and have him imprisoned, but she had several children. They couldn’t grow up without a father. Christina could only endure.

She now wanted Rocco to help her deal with her husband, but Rocco didn’t care. It was all because of Grazia. If it hadn’t been for Grazia, Rocco wouldn’t have treated her so badly. Christina despised Grazia, but now, Grazia not only had a good relationship with Rocco but also gave birth to a son. Her son would be the future head of the Italian Mafia, and Rocco would definitely like Grazia even more now.

Despite hating Grazia, Christina had to endure, because the current Grazia was different from before.

“Please go back. I don’t think Grazia would want to see you,” Isabella said, thinking of the harm Christina had caused Grazia before and refusing her request to meet. Christina had caused psychological trauma to Grazia. How could Grazia possibly want to see her again?

“Please, Isabella, I’ve changed myself. I won’t treat Grazia the way I did before. I now respect Grazia and consider her the mistress of this house. Whatever she wants this house to be, that’s what it will be.”

Seeing Christina’s humble appearance, Isabella couldn’t help but shake her head. She hadn’t expected Christina to become so humble after the previous incident. But then again, Christina never had much capital to be arrogant in the first place. She had only been acting out because she was Rocco’s sister. But now that Rocco hated her, she had lost even that last bit of leverage.

“You may leave, and I will tell Grazia that you came to visit her today.”

This wretched woman, so ungrateful. She had become so humble, and still, Isabella didn’t appreciate it!

Christina was very angry. Her anger made her face contort, but she had to work hard to control herself.

Isabella could see that Christina was very angry. In fact, she knew that Christina hadn’t changed at all. She still disliked her and Grazia. Now, she was just trying to gain what she wanted by pleasing them.

Living in her home was very difficult. Her husband abused her, and she also had to take care of so many children. Before, she used to come here to relieve the pressure, but now that Rocco wouldn’t let her come, her life had become even more difficult.

Now, she onlywanted to gain Rocco’s forgiveness.

After speaking, Isabella turned and prepared to go back inside the house. Seeing Christina early in the morning made her feel uncomfortable.

“Isabella, you have no right to treat me like this,” Christina shouted behind her.

Isabella ignored her.

“If my brother finds out, he will be angry.”

Isabella still didn’t pay attention to Christina.

She planned to tell Rocco about this and let him handle it. She wasn’t part of their family and couldn’t help them make decisions.

“Isabella, do you think being the wife of a Mafia boss makes you so great? Everyone knows how chaotic Chicago is right now. Your husband, Emanuele Lombardi, is in danger. I heard he’s near death. Haha!”

Isabella’s steps suddenly halted. She turned to look at Christina. “What did you say?”

Emanuele was near death? How did she not know? Phillip had told her that Emanuele was on a mission and was fine.

“You know, even though I have no connection, I’ve heard some information. Isabella, after your husband dies, can you still be the great Mafia queen? No, no, no. You will be just a poor creature, like me. You can’t go back to Chicago, and my brother won’t let you stay in Italy forever. Be careful. One day, walking on the streets, you might be assassinated.”

Isabella paid no attention to Christina’s mocking words. What she cared about most now was whether Emanuele was still alive.

He couldn’t be dying, could he? Emanuele must still be alive and well.

“Is what you’re saying true?”

“I’ve heard some information. You know how our circle is. Everyone is guessing. Isabella, I hope Emanuele dies. That way, you won’t be so arrogant in the future.”

She wanted to see Isabella turn into a pitiful creature, and then she would mercilessly crush her!

But she hadn’t gloated for long before she was slapped across the face.

Isabella gave her a merciless slap.

“You hit me!” Christina’s face showed an angry expression. She couldn’t believe Isabella had dared to hit her.

Damn, this woman was truly despicable.

“Shut up! I’ll kill you!” Isabella was this angry for the first time, her chest heaving, trembling all over, wishing she could tear Christina apart.

Seeing the ferocious woman in front of her, Christina was afraid. In the next moment, it seemed as though Isabella would devour her.

Oh God, she had only disliked Isabella before, but now, she was starting to fear her.

The previous Isabella had seemed so young, lacking in any intimidation. Yet at this moment, she had made Christina afraid.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
