Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Just because she couldn’t bear children and didn’t want to burden Emanuele, she decided to divorce him.

Isabella must be crazy!This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Evelyn thought, It’s clearly Emanuele who has made Isabella like this. If Isabella hadn’t married Emanuele in the first place, if she had married an ordinary man, she wouldn’t have been so badly hurt, unable to have children.

Probably, she would have already given birth and become a mother.

But now, Isabella not only got hurt because of Emanuele, but she also can’t have children. She takes all the blame upon herself. Thinking about this, Evelyn couldn’t help but pat Isabella’s head.

But Isabella still said, “I know, but, Evelyn, it was my choice to be with Emanuele. Since I chose to be with Emanuele, I also have to bear the corresponding consequences. You see, I am seriously injured. Although I am also very sad, I will not regret being with Emanuele. And I will feel sorry for burdening him.”

“Isabella, if you think this way, don’t you think Emanuele would think the same? He will surely feel sorry for causing you such serious injury. I think Emanuele is a good man. He won’t abandon you just because you can’t bear children. So, Isabella, please, can you not be the first to give up?”

Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, Isabella shook her head, “Evelyn, I admit you’re right. I also understand Emanuele. He definitely won’t divorce me just because I can’t bear children. He is not that kind of person. Even though he seems cold, he is very good and gentle to me. That’s why, Evelyn, I have to make this decision myself. I don’t want to make things difficult for Emanuele.”

“What’s so difficult about this? If both of you agree, why not stay together? Why divorce?”

“You don’t understand, Emanuele is the head of the Chicago Mafia. He needs his own children to inherit his business. Without children, what will happen in the future?” Isabella looked at Evelyn. “When he gets old, his fighting ability will diminish, and the enemies will kill us.”

For people like them, it’s almost impossible to retire peacefully.

They have to cultivate their own bloodline, let their children inherit their father’s business, and continue to fight.

Evelyn sighed. She looked at Isabella, “So, have you made up your mind?”

She knew that no matter what she said, Isabella probably wouldn’t listen to her.

In that case, she could only support Isabella’s decision.

Isabella nodded, “Yes, I have made up my mind.”

Evelyn looked at Isabella’s determined look. She couldn’t help but sigh. She truly hoped Isabella wouldn’t regret it in the future. But at the same time, she felt heartache for her friend.

Being by the side of the Mafia boss is truly heart-stopping. If Isabella were just an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have to endure these injuries. But unfortunately, she isn’t, so she has to bear these injuries.

Evelyn now even doubts whether she and James being together will also face similar things in the future.

But she feels that James’ situation is even more dangerous than hers, after all, he is the one who has to fight on the front lines.

Every time he goes out on a mission, she has to worry, fearing he might get hurt, fearing he might encounter danger. It makes Evelyn feel sad. Perhaps her parents were right? They shouldn’t get too involved with James.

But she deeply loves James now. Even though James looks like a tough guy, in reality, he is a very good, gentle, and caring man she has ever met. She can’t bring herself to break up with James. Thinking about this, Evelyn sighed.

She envied Isabella’s determination.

Isabella looked at Evelyn, “Evelyn, please don’t tell Emanuele about this. I don’t want him to know that I want to leave him. It must be for other reasons, if Emanuele knows it’s because of this, I think he won’t divorce me.”

Evelyn was stunned. She looked at Isabella, then nodded sadly.

Emanuele went to Europe and returned only after half a month.

During this time, Isabella’s body recovered quite a bit, but the damage to her uterus still couldn’t be repaired.

Isabella also went to a different hospital for a check-up, but the results were the same.

Isabella’s inner disappointment grew more and more. She knew she had to accept this reality.

She probably really couldn’t have a child with Emanuele.

Thinking about this, Isabella felt very sad.

When Emanuele returned, her first reactionwas to go and hug Isabella, but Isabella pushed him away.

Emanuele looked at Isabella in confusion, “Isabella, what’s wrong?”

“You’ve been gone for so long.”

“Yeah, after all, it was a big deal. It’s not easy to negotiate.”

“You pretended to be a couple with her, so did you sleep together?”

Thinking about their arrangement on the ferry, Emanuele rubbed his brow.

Yes, because he pretended to be a couple with Jessie, they indeed had to share a room, but they kept to separate spaces.

Emanuele explained this to Isabella.

“Actually, I’m quite upset, Emanuele. I didn’t even know if our life together should continue.”

Emanuele heard Isabella’s words and was momentarily stunned. “What are you saying? What do you mean by that?”

Initially, when he cooperated with Jessie, Isabella clearly understood and supported him.

But now, she suddenly regretted it?

Emanuele immediately said, “Isabella, Jessie and I are just partners. I helped her because I owed her a favor. If you hadn’t agreed back then, I wouldn’t have gone. Because you agreed, that’s why I… During the mission, there was no intimate physical contact between us.”

Seeing Emanuele explaining anxiously, this man, who rarely showed emotions, had such an expression. This surprised Isabella.

However, the more Emanuele acted this way, the more Isabella felt upset.

What should she do?

She had to separate from Emanuele, which is why she had randomly found an excuse to quarrel with Emanuele, and then divorce and leave him.

As luck would have it, Emanuele had a task to attend to, so Isabella decided to use this as an excuse to quarrel with Emanuele. After that, she would separate from him.

“When I said that, I just wanted to see your reaction. I didn’t expect you to agree immediately. But these past few days, I was sick and injured, in the hospital, and you weren’t there for me. Outside, there have been constant rumors of our divorce, and reporters have come to confirm. Emanuele, you’re carefree over there, but I’m exhausted dealing with all these matters here.”

Listening to Isabella’s accusations, Emanuele felt that this wasn’t something Isabella would say.

“Isabella, if you really feel tired, just rest more. Resting more will help. I will handle all these messy things.”

Isabella shook her head, “I’m not tired. I just feel that I’m not safe by your side. Always facing so much danger and having to see you acting as a couple with another woman, I just want to be an ordinary person. Why is that so difficult?”
