In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Killing That Bitch

Emanuele handed her a small, elegant pistol that she carried with her. The next time Chloe dared to offend her, she'd have no qualms about using it.

Isabella spent quite some time in the restroom, working on her face, making sure the marks weren't too conspicuous. She finally opened the door when she heard Emanuele knocking impatiently.

"Isabella, are you in there?" He sounded a bit anxious, clearly unable to locate her and growing concerned.

But did he genuinely worry about her?

He claimed that everything between them was just a game, engaging in flirtatious exchanges with Chloe, allowing her to touch his muscles...

Isabella felt miserable, but she couldn't let it show with so many people watching.

"What happened to your face?" Emanuele noticed the injury right away; he had an astute eye for detail and recognized the damage to Isabella's cheeks.

Had her extended stay in the restroom been related to this?

"Just a minor bump," Isabella lightly touched her cheek and looked up at Emanuele. "Come on, I was also looking for you. You're about to give a speech."

Today was Emanuele's day, and he was the first to speak. She had gone to find him earlier for this reason.

"It's not a big deal. I don't have to give a speech if I don't want to. But what about you, Isabella? Shouldn't you see a doctor?"

Emanuele had his doubts. A simple bump shouldn't have caused her face to look like this.

"It's alright, I'm a doctor myself. I don't need any treatment for this minor injury."

Emanuele didn't push Isabella further and held her hand as they walked towards the hall.

But before leaving, Emanuele glanced back at Phillip and motioned towards the nearby surveillance near the restroom.

Phillip nodded and left.

Emanuele's message was clear: they needed to examine the surveillance footage. The injury on his wife's cheek didn't seem like something she'd caused herself, and if she wouldn't talk about it, the boss would find out one way or another.

Isabella had concealed her injury quite well, and only someone as observant as Emanuele could detect the issue up close.

After Emanuele delivered his speech in the hall, Isabella sat in a quiet corner, avoiding interaction with others. Chloe's presence in the crowd, being the social butterfly, made her feel disgusted, and she wished to stay as far away from them as possible.

However, because she was Emanuele's wife, she was still approached by many unfamiliar relatives from both sides, creating a semblance of being a star.

Fortunately, Grazia was by her side, providing some relief.

After the banquet ended, Isabella and Emanuele were heading back to their upscale apartment. Grazia mentioned that she would be staying at the estate for some time.

She had been living here since she didn't marry Andrew. She didn't want to intrude too much on Emanuele and Isabella, especially considering they had just recently gotten married and needed to nurture their relationship.
