In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Approaching Farewell

But soon, Emanuele regretted it.

Isabella had just managed to calm down a bit while chatting with Grazia, but as their conversation continued, she broke down in tears again. Watching Isabella in profound sorrow, Emanuele had the urge to end the call, but he resisted.

Well, let these two women vent their emotions for a while.

After what felt like an eternity, Isabella finally regained her composure. She comforted Grazia, saying, "Grazia, your dad is watching over you from heaven. He wouldn't want to see you this distressed. Stay strong and live on."

"Now that Rocco treats you so well, you two can start a family sooner. That way, you'll have an additional anchor in your life."

Listening to Isabella's mature tone, Emanuele couldn't help but think she didn't sound like a 22-year-old girl anymore. In this moment, she seemed unusually mature.

Emanuele understood that if someone was too well-protected, they wouldn't grow. Isabella used to have a simple and pure life, but now, she was rapidly maturing and becoming more stable.

He had admired her growth in the past, her ability to adapt to the environment was astonishing and captivating. However, now Emanuele realized that the things he had always liked might be the very things causing Isabella pain.

The process of forced growth meant letting go of some aspects of oneself-a painful separation.

After Isabella ended the call, Emanuele pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Isabella, everything will get better."

Isabella shook her head, "I feel terrible."

She had been hoping for things to improve, but it seemed like everything was getting worse. With people around her passing away one by one, Isabella felt the world becoming incredibly bleak.

"Isabella, I will arrange for you to go to Italy to meet Grazia."

Chicago was no longer safe, and Emanuele had decided to clean out the Sicilians in the city immediately-leaving no potential threats behind.

However, this decision might cost him his life.

Isabella was stunned; she had been immersed in grief, and Emanuele's sudden words left her feeling a bit lost. Why did he want her to go to Italy?

"I don't want to go," Isabella immediately refused, wiping away the tears on her face, trying to appear stronger.

"Listen, it's only safe for you there. They won't dare to invade Rocco's territory for now."

Emanuele could have sent Isabella to many places, like Switzerland, where entering the Saint Sovereign Church granted sanctuary since killing was forbidden there. But Emanuele chose Italy, where Grazia was. Isabella wouldn't feel lonely there.

He feared that if Isabella went to Switzerland alone, loneliness might keep her immersed in sorrow at all times.

Isabella shook her head, wanting to refuse, but Emanuele had already called James in.

"James, from now on, you'll be responsible for escorting Isabella to Italy. Tony and Harry will accompany you. Isabella, I don't have the time to divert my attention to protect you. For your safety and for me to fully engage in the battle, you must go to Italy."

Emanuele's tone was cold and ruthless, leaving Isabella no room to refuse.
