Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“Boss!” James knelt in front of Emanuele, looking at him covered in blood and wounds, appearing quite frightening.

James thought that if it were him who was injured so severely, he wouldn’t feel much. But this was his boss. Seeing Emanuele so heavily wounded, James was frightened.

Looking at James’ worried expression, Emanuele deliberately showed a relaxed face. “Hurry, put me down. If you had been any later, I would be dead.”

Only then did James come to his senses, quickly untying the restraints on Emanuele.

Once released, Emanuele, whose standing had been supported by the restraints, collapsed into James’ arms.

James hastily embraced him. “Boss, hold on, I’ll take you for treatment right away!”

Supporting Emanuele, James left. Mathias’ men had all been taken care of by them. The dungeon was now filled with bodies, and blood flowed like a river.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Breathing heavily, Emanuele felt intense pain all over. It seemed like it had been a very long time since he had suffered such severe injuries. Emanuele closed his eyes, feeling like he might lose consciousness at any moment.

Seeing Emanuele so severely injured, James couldn’t help but say, “Boss, you have to hold on. We’ve found a doctor to help treat you.”

Feeling like he was barely holding on, Emanuele reached out and grasped James’ arm. “Please don’t let Isabella know about this, James, I’m begging you.”

Emanuele, even in such a severely injured and unconscious state, was still concerned about Isabella. In that instant, James’ feelings became complicated.

The boss cared so much for Isabella. Even in his current state, he was still thinking about her. However, James now understood, he understood Emanuele’s feelings. Because he too had someone he loved deeply, someone he would fight for with his life.

And now, he needed to do everything he could to help his boss recover. Until then, Isabella couldn’t know.

…

After having a nightmare, Isabella couldn’t sleep anymore. Today, she didn’t go to see Grazia, instead, she wandered the streets of Italy alone.

Tony and Harry had been following Isabella and could tell that her mood was very poor. But as men, although they had always protected Isabella, it was a different kind of protection from that of a woman like Elisa.

There were some things that couldn’t be bridged between men and women. For example, now they saw Isabella in a bad mood, they wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know how.

They truly didn’t know the current situation of the boss. They saw Rocco and Phillip had tried to comfort Isabella, but she was still worried.

After buying some things on the street, Isabella found a shop and had something to eat.

Grazia called Isabella, “Isabella, why haven’t you come in?”

“I’m outside buying some things, Grazia. I’ll come see you in the afternoon.”

“Okay.”

Grazia called Isabella because she was a little worried about Isabella’s condition. For some reason, she felt that Isabella had been very unhappy these past few days, with a deep sorrow in her eyes.

Was she worried about Emanuele? She didn’t know what the situation in Chicago was like now. She asked Rocco, and he said Emanuele was still very busy because he had encountered a very tricky situation.

That was troublesome. Grazia knew it was normal for Isabella to be so worried now. She was also very worried about Emanuele; he was her brother and her only relative in this world.

Even though she now had a child, her feelings were still different. Her parents were gone, and she didn’t want anything to happen to Emanuele.

After eating, Isabella rested for a while, then went to the hospital to find Grazia. She knew Grazia was alone in the hospital and would feel very bored.

Grazia was still in the ward. She really wanted to go out, but Rocco had asked her to stay in the hospital and rest for a few more days. She had to take care of her body in the hospital.

Grazia felt like she was about to become depressed staying in the ward. However, Nicholas’ adorable appearance made Grazia happy every day.

This little life was born to her. Watching him grow day by day, from being wrinkled at birth to becoming cuter every day, Grazia wished she could hug and kiss him more.

When Isabella came in, Grazia handed the child to her immediately. “Isabella, look, he’s getting cuter now.”

“Yeah, I really want to see him speaking and calling you ‘mom’ in the future.” Isabella took out some gifts she had bought for the child.

“Oh myGod, you bought so many things.” Grazia saw a lot of items for the child, including utensils, pacifiers, toys, and more.

Although she had already prepared many of these things, it was okay to buy more consumables.

“Thank you, Isabella, I love it.” Grazia looked at the items with a pleasantly surprised expression.

“You’re welcome,” Isabella said, and she also gave Grazia a set of skincare products. “This is for you.”

“Isabella, you’re too kind. Thank you, I love it.” Grazia hugged and kissed Isabella. “Why did you buy so much today?”

Seeing that Isabella had been in Italy for so many days and she hadn’t given Isabella anything, it seemed like she also had to tell Rocco that when Isabella was about to leave Italy, she must give Isabella some Italian specialties to take back.

“Grazia, I want to go back to Chicago.”

“Why? The situation in Chicago is still unclear. Isabella, I don’t advise you to go back now.”

“I’m worried about Emanuele. Although everyone tells me he’s fine, he hasn’t replied to my messages for several days. I’m worried that something has happened to him.”

She felt restless and anxious. Every moment, she thought about Emanuele. Even when she dreamed, she thought about Emanuele. She couldn’t imagine what she would do if something happened to Emanuele.

“Isabella, don’t worry. Maybe nothing has happened to him? Maybe he’s just too busy. If you wait a couple more days and he still doesn’t respond, you can look for him then.”

Isabella shook her head. “I want to go back now. I can’t wait any longer.”

Grazia wanted to persuade Isabella to stay, but Isabella seemed so determined.

By chance, Rocco had work to attend to today, so he wasn’t at the hospital. Grazia felt that she really couldn’t persuade Isabella anymore.

Just then, Isabella’s phone rang. Seeing the phone number, her eyes lit up with a hint of joy.

Isabella immediately answered the call, and soon, Emanuele’s voice came through the phone. “Isabella, I heard that you’re very worried about me. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

After hearing Emanuele’s voice, Isabella couldn’t hold back her tears.
