In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: He Found Her More Intriguing

Isabella's phone suddenly felt scalding hot in her hand, and before she could react, it slipped from her grasp and fell onto the carpet.

"What's happening?" Tony swiftly picked up the phone and, upon seeing the threatening message displayed on it, immediately called Emanuele.

"Boss, Miss Gould has received a death threat. It seems to be from those people," Tony reported.

"They've got quite some nerve, actually threatening me," Emanuele, who was already dealing with other matters, felt a burning anger upon hearing Tony's words. He had anticipated that they might target those close to him, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon, with Isabella receiving a death threat.

Thinking of Isabella's gentle and timid nature, despite her inner strength, he realized that when facing formidable foes, Isabella was as fragile as a delicate flower and could be crushed in an instant. The thought of them now targeting Isabella filled Emanuele with a blazing fury.

He knew that he was running out of time and needed to locate Frederick urgently. The longer he waited, the more danger Isabella would be in.

"Assign more guards to secure the apartment. Tell Isabella not to leave for now. Whatever she needs, have someone purchase it for her," Emanuele instructed.

"Understood," Tony replied before hanging up.

Tony turned to look at Isabella, who was now clearly terrified. Her face had gone pale, and her body trembled.

"What's going on? How do they know my numbers?" Isabella, encountering a death threat in such a blatant manner for the first time, was scared. "Should we call the police? Will they be able to help?"

Listening to Isabella, Tony and Harry couldn't help but feel a bit more sympathetic towards her. This naive young woman believed that the regular police could protect her.

"It won't help, Miss Gould. Only we can help you."

At that moment, Isabella felt like she was standing right next to the gates of hell, and the gates were wide open behind her. She could fall into it at any moment.

Oh Lord, could anyone save her?

Isabella had a restless day, but upon returning to the apartment, she noticed that there were more people inside, including security guards and a chef.

"Hello, Miss Gould, I'm Lilly Gray, and I'll be your chef from now on. Please feel free to tell me your favorite dishes," a woman in her forties with a round figure and freckles all over her face introduced herself with a warm smile.

"Hello," Isabella embraced Lilly, quite taken with her warm and welcoming demeanor. Isabella especially liked Lilly's bright red hair, which made her feel a sense of warmth. Having another woman in the house made Isabella feel less lonely.

Lilly was quite diligent; upon arrival, she prepared a dessert for Isabella. When Isabella took a bite of the delightful strawberry cake, her mood improved significantly. The sweet and tangy taste made her feel alive again.

"Miss Gould, please enjoy," Lilly smiled warmly.
