Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Isabella was well aware of Emanuele’s current identity and status, which required him to have an heir, several children. Since she couldn’t provide these, staying together would be a burden for both of them. In the future, Emanuele would have to make a choice between her and the children. From what Grazia had told her before, the duty of a Mafia queen was to bear an heir for her husband, and the more children they had, the better. However, Isabella was unable to do so now, so she had to leave. Therefore, Isabella averted her gaze, refusing to look at Emanuele. She couldn’t afford to be indecisive. The only reason she came today was to divorce Emanuele. She couldn’t dismiss that intention just because she felt sorry for him.

Just as Isabella lowered her head, waiting in silence for Emanuele’s agreement to divorce her, Emanuele suddenly stood up and walked towards her. Emanuele was tall, and as he approached, Isabella felt enveloped by his presence. As he leaned in, Isabella felt as if the light around her dimmed in an instant. This oppressive feeling made her feel her blood rushing, and a sense of tension spread throughout her body. Isabella couldn’t help but furrow her brows, wanting to take two steps back, but as she kept retreating, Emanuele kept approaching. She kept retreating until she reached the wall, with nowhere else to go. She looked at Emanuele and asked, “Emanuele, what are you doing?”

She was a little angry and had a sense that something bad was about to happen. She had an uneasy feeling. Looking up, she met Emanuele’s light grey irises. Just as she was about to say something, Emanuele lowered his head and kissed Isabella’s lips. Isabella tried to resist, but her body was trapped by Emanuele, and she could only lean against his chest. Feeling Emanuele’s strong and sturdy body, like an impenetrable wall, holding her firmly, Isabella wanted to escape, but she couldn’t break free from his embrace. She was forced to endure Emanuele’s kiss.

The man’s kiss was like a storm, lacking any gentleness. He kissed her forcefully, prying open her teeth and probing into her mouth, forcibly taking the fragrance between her lips and teeth. Isabella was almost suffocated by Emanuele’s kiss. She felt as if she was melting under his overpowering presence. Emanuele’s breath was so strong and intense that Isabella could sense his sorrow and anger from this kiss.

“Heartless, Isabella… Do you really want to divorce me? Is this really the decision you’ve thought through?” While Isabella struggled to catch her breath from the intense kissing, Emanuele let go of her and spoke softly. His voice was hoarse, and his gaze carried a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness.

Isabella couldn’t bear to look at him, but she was afraid of showing her guilt by avoiding his gaze. So, she raised her head and stared at Emanuele, saying, “Yes, this is a decision I have already thought through.”

“Have you really thought it through? You loved me so much before, and now you’re giving up so easily? Isabella, can’t you give me another chance?” Emanuele’s eyes started turning red.

Isabella stared at Emanuele. Her heart felt like it had shattered into hundreds of pieces. But facing Emanuele’s gaze, she still said, “Emanuele, please let me go. I’m really tired. I always have to endure so much danger. If this continues, I’ll eventually die. I’m still young, Emanuele. I’m only in my early twenties. There is so much wonderful life ahead of me, and I don’t want to die like this.”

“Is that so? Isabella, so you’re just abandoning me?” Emanuele’s tone carried a hint of anger, as if he wanted to burn Isabella.

“Emanuele, I’m really tired. This time, we faced such a serious situation. If we continue like this, I will die. If you truly love me, you should let me go.”

Emanuele’s grip on Isabella’s hand trembled, and his own heart was also trembling. He actually thought that Isabella made sense. If he truly loved her, he should let her go. Isabella being with him put her in danger, as the enemies knew how much he cared for her. They would kill Isabella. But could he really let Isabella go? Moreover, seeing Isabella so eager to leave him, Emanuele felt a mix of sadness, anger, and stubbornness. He lifted Isabella up and walked towards the bedroom.

Isabella became visibly panicked. “Emanuele, what are you doing? Let go of me!”

Emanuele didn’t answer, but instead, he silently held her and threw her onto the large bed. Isabella wanted to escape, but in the next moment, Emanuele forcefully tore off her clothes. The chiffon gown turned into fragments in Emanuele’s hands, as if it was made of paper. With her clothes gone, Isabella’s bare skin was exposed to the cold air, causing her to shiver.

Isabella originally planned to discuss the divorce with Emanuele. She didn’t expect him to do such a thing. She wanted to say something, but before she could, Emanuele kissed her lips, sucking and kissing forcefully as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Isabella bit Emanuele’s lips, and soon, his lips started bleeding from her bite. The taste of blood surged in their mouths.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Isabella originally thought that by biting Emanuele’s lips, it would at least make him sober up. But she didn’t expect that even though Emanuele was in pain, he didn’t release her and continued kissing her. At this moment, Emanuele seemed like a madman.

The smell of blood filled Isabella’s mouth, making her feel nauseous. But Emanuele wouldn’t let her go. She was suffocating under his kisses. She didn’t know how long it lasted, but Emanuele finally released her lips. However, his body pressed tightly against hers, and then he started kissing her body as if they were making love like they used to. But now, they were discussing divorce, and Emanuele was doing this to her. Isabella couldn’t accept it.

Moreover, Emanuele’s actions were no longer as gentle as before. They were rough, making Isabella feel that there was no love in his actions, only anger.
