In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Am I Important to You?

As they chatted, they began to eat. Isabella cut into her steak, the diamond on her hand sparkling in the light.

The diamond ring that Emanuele had given her was quite large, almost like a pigeon egg. Evelyn also noticed the sparkling ring on Isabella's finger.

"Isabella, your ring must have been very expensive!" she exclaimed. "I can't even imagine wearing such a huge diamond in the future."

Although she knew that Pippo's family was wealthy, it would still be difficult to buy such a large diamond ring.

Emanuele was really rich!

"I don't know," Isabella looked at her own ring. The design was simple and nothing special except for the exceptionally large and shiny diamond.

When they got married, Isabella thought she was going to marry Clark and didn't care about the ring at all. When Emanuele put it on her finger later, she was shocked that he wanted to marry her instead of the ring.

Now that Evelyn mentioned it, she realized how much bigger it was compared to what an average person would wear.

However, she noticed some old marks underneath the diamond which meant that this wasn't a new piece of jewelry - could someone else have worn this before?

That night when they got home, Isabella waved her hand with the ring in front of Emanuele's face.

"Did you give this same exact one to someone else before? Are you trying to fool me with someone else's things?" If he really gave his ex-girlfriend something like this before, then there would be no forgiveness from Isabella.

"Well then, who do you think I gave it too?" Emanuele asked while smiling as he took hold of Isabela's hand and caressed his fingers over the ring.

"How should I know? But I found out it has some old marks, so obviously its not new anymore... Did you take back after breaking up with an ex-girlfriend?"

It looked clean, but it was nothing like the shiny ring that just came out.

Isabella was angry.

Even though she knew Emanuele didn't like her, it made her feel bad that he had treated her this way.

Emanuel continued smiling as he held Isabelia close in his arms.

"Isabella, is it because I haven't been generous enough with you that you think I would take something meant for another woman and give it to you?"

"Then where did this diamond ring come from? You're not going to tell me that it's second-hand, are you?" Isabella glared at Emanuele. Why was he still smiling at her when she was so serious and angry?

Emanuele kissed Isabella on the cheek and laughed out loud. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. The truth is, this is my mother's diamond ring and it has a special meaning."

It was the ring his mother left him before she passed away, and he gave it to Isabella.

His mother!

Isabella wasn't angry anymore; instead she looked down at the ring in her hand. Did Emanuele giving her this mean that she was important to him?

Thinking about this made Isabella's heart beat faster as if it were about to burst out of her chest. She caressed the ring as if seeing his unseen mother.

She remembered Grazia telling her that her own mother had been killed by someone else.

Being a female head of a mafia family was very dangerous; one had to be vigilant all the time or risk being killed by enemies who wanted to prove their ability or make their leader suffer, so they could start a big fight.
