In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Luring Isabella

And so, the two changed several positions until they were both exhausted, and only then did Emanuele release Isabella. Now, they lay in bed, Emanuele holding Isabella from behind. His hands caressed Isabella's spine, giving her a tingling sensation on her back.

Ticklish, yet strangely wonderful.

In the end, his hands stopped at a certain spot. Isabella knew it was where her butterfly tattoo was.

He still cared about this.

She thought that his return and their intimate moments meant he had let go of the suspicions in his heart. Yet, it seemed otherwise.

"Why did you come back?" Isabella inquired.

"Lilly said you've been in a bad mood lately, unable to eat," Emanuele's low voice sounded from behind her.

"Yes, a little," Isabella replied.

"Because of me?"

"You're suspecting me, aren't you?"

Emanuele furrowed his brows, and after a while, he said, "I admit, in fact, it's Frederick who made me suspicious of you. He has a photo of your back tattoo. This place, only the most intimate person could know about. You've never worn backless outfits, so where did he get a picture of your back?"

Although Isabella knew she was innocent, Emanuele's words had some validity.

She found it strange too.

"Could it be photoshopped? He only needed to know I had a back tattoo, and he might find someone to Photoshop a design similar to mine."

"That's also possible. Don't worry too much about this. I just want to investigate the cause and effect. Even if you have nothing to do with him, I want to know why he knows these details about you and why he's doing this."

Emanuele, at this moment, was caressing Isabella's hair gently. His movements were tender, making Isabella feel like a cat lying in its owner's arms-extremely comfortable.

Isabella leaned against Emanuele. She hoped Emanuele could uncover the truth soon.

"No skipping meals from now on," a voice suddenly came when Isabella was about to fall asleep.

Isabella immediately woke up and nodded, "I know. Can you also not be away so often?"

Even though she often got angry with Emanuele, thinking he was heartless, Isabella always looked forward to meeting him, hugging, and kissing him.

She knew her body needed Emanuele; she couldn't live without him. Therefore, she had this contradictory mentality, scolding Emanuele as a devil on one hand, but unable to leave him on the other.

Emanuele smiled, "Alright."

Actually, today was a rare moment of relaxation for him. In these past few days, stimulated by Frederick's information, he was almost going crazy. He was like a machine, constantly immersed in work.
