In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Chloe's Desperate Plea

Chloe's face looked even more horrifying, with two long scars that appeared to be inflicted by a blade, with dried, coagulated blood creating dark red streaks, making her appear exceptionally frightening. Chloe's arms and legs were covered in wounds, not a single patch of unscathed skin left.

Isabella knew that Chloe was barely clinging to life. The once pampered Chloe, who exuded an air of elegance and wealth, was now reduced to a filthy, ragged appearance, emanating a putrid stench. She seemed like a beggar, and her surroundings resembled a trash heap.

Upon hearing someone approaching, Chloe struggled to lift her head and, upon spotting Isabella, her eyes lit up. She shouted, "Isabella, save me! I'm your cousin, you won't just watch me die, will you?"

She was on the brink of insanity. It had been five days since she last ate, surviving solely on water. Weakened to a frightening degree, she didn't want to die; she was still young, wealthy, and hadn't found the right man to marry yet. She refused to meet her end like this.

All of this was because of that wretched Isabella. All she did was hit her once, but Isabella had allowed Emanuele to torment her so ruthlessly. Torture was one thing, but they seemed intent on killing her as well. Chloe had already suffered enough; wasn't this enough to make up for the years of torment she had subjected Isabella to? They should release her.

Isabella approached Chloe, observing her pitiable state and seeing Chloe's desperate desire to survive. Chloe resembled a miserable dog, praying for her master's mercy. At this moment, Isabella realized that she didn't fully understand why she had once feared Chloe.

Chloe was so foolish that, even after learning that Isabella was Emanuele's wife, she dared to strike her. This woman, who was so senseless, had managed to torment her for years, becoming her nightmare.

Isabella let out a brief laugh, and Chloe saw a glimmer of hope, thinking that Isabella was in a good mood and would spare her. However, Isabella said, "Chloe, I warned you before when you hit me. Emanuele won't spare you. Do my words matter to you now?"

"Isabella, can you forgive me? I truly regret what I did. Please spare me, I won't bully you again. I'll be your dog if you want."

Chloe just wanted to stay alive; she feared death. She was in excruciating pain all over, to the point where she wanted to bash her head against a wall. However, the desire to survive compelled her to plead with Isabella.

Even though Chloe knew that Emanuele was the one torturing her, she didn't dare to look at him. She had even tried to seduce this man before, but now she realized that he was truly a devil. This woman, he could even be so ruthless towards her. What else was he capable of doing?

Isabella turned to Phillip and said, "Loosen her restraints."

Soon, the ropes binding Chloe were loosened, and she gained temporary freedom. Chloe wanted to approach Isabella, trying to get on her good side. But Isabella took a step back and commanded, "Kneel."

Chloe's eyes showed a hint of anger. How dare this wench ask her to kneel?

But then, Emanuele suddenly pulled out a handgun, causing Chloe to change her demeanor. She knelt in front of Isabella, trembling.

"I'm sorry, Isabella, please forgive me," the desperation to survive compelled her to kneel, despite the excruciating pain this action caused due to her injuries.

"Admit what you've done to me," Isabella continued to command.

Emanuele gazed at Isabella with eyes as fiery as the sun, feeling that this woman was becoming more and more like him. Her tone now sounded just like his own. It was fantastic; she was gradually evolving into a true Mafia queen. And in front of her, Chloe was nothing more than a pile of rubbish.

"I hurt you..." Chloe carefully spoke, her voice trembling.
