In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: He Lost

Isabella felt she would never forgive Emanuele. He always enjoyed forcing others, treating people as tools for exchange.

"Grazia, I'm sorry. I couldn't persuade Emanuele not to do this," she said with a heavy heart. Grazia, her dear sister and friend, was left without any help.

Grazia held Isabella's hand. "Isabella, I won't be disappointed. The fact that you made an effort for me already moved me. As for Emanuele, I don't hate him either. He must have his reasons for making this decision. Since childhood, I knew that as the princess of the Mafia, I have to fulfill my duties. I've had over thirty peaceful years, and I'm content."

She knew the upcoming challenges were hers to face.

At that moment, Grazia's phone rang. It was a video call from Leo.

Grazia answered. "Leo, I heard from Emanuele that he wants you to marry Rocco."

Grazia confirmed.

"Fine. You know, Emanuele is in a difficult situation now, dealing with enemies' ambushes and protecting us. If you marry Rocco and go to Italy with him, those enemies won't dare to harm you."

"I understand, Dad. Are you having a good time with Sophia over there?" Grazia smiled, looking relaxed. Isabella couldn't tell if Grazia's state was genuine or an act.

"Very much. Sophia and I plan to visit several more countries." Leo said. He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. He had delegated all Mafia matters to Emanuele. His duty was to enjoy life with his love. By not returning, he allowed Emanuele to focus more.

Because, at this moment, Chicago was the most dangerous place.

"Grazia, if you think Rocco is suitable, marry him as soon as possible. When we travel to Italy, we can attend your wedding." Leo suggested.

"It's hard to say." Grazia frowned, seeming unwilling to discuss it further. "Okay, Isabella is here too. I want to continue chatting with her. You guys have fun."

After ending the call, Grazia looked at Isabella, shrugged, and expressed a sense of helplessness. "You've seen it too; everyone hopes I marry soon."

Isabella sighed. "I still hope you can stick to your own ideas." As the wife of the Mafia boss, she had no power. How much she blamed herself, only heaven knew.

"Isabella, don't be sad. You should wish me well and hope I'll have a better life in the future." Grazia touched Isabella's hair. She liked Isabella a lot, but sadly, they were about to part.

Isabella leaned on Grazia's leg. Grazia was like a sister to her. She had no real sister, and her cousin Chloe was a lunatic. So, Isabella cherished the time spent with Grazia.

How could she not feel sad?

At that moment, Isabella noticed a diamond ring on Grazia's middle finger, something she hadn't seen before.

"Oh, my God, Grazia, don't tell me that the diamond ring on your finger is from Rocco."

Before, when Grazia married Andrew, she wore a ring on her ring finger. Now, she took that ring off and replaced it with this one.

Grazia nodded, "Without any surprises, we will have the engagement ceremony in a week. Isabella, you and Emanuele should come to attend. Our ceremony will be simple."

Isabella plunged into sadness, restraining her emotions and nodding.

They weren't even engaged yet, and Rocco had already given Grazia the ring. It showed how eager he was. Did he like Grazia? From a woman's perspective, Isabella couldn't tell how much he liked her. As Emanuele said, Rocco now wanted a child.

Rocco was at an age where he needed to have his child, nurture him to become the new Mafia boss, and further consolidate his Mafia career. Choosing Grazia probably had to do with Emanuele's abilities-strength in unity, nothing better.
