In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: She Lost This Game

Despair enveloped Isabella, making her feel that at this moment, the world had turned dark and cold.

Isabella found it quite amusing. She had been too naive, thinking that having been with him once would change their relationship. But now it was clear that the change had occurred only within her mindset. For Emanuele, nothing had changed.

She had dared to imagine being in love with Emanuele. The sad truth was now laid out before her, and she realized that in their game, she had become the loser.

Despite her constant claims of hating him, she couldn't control her feelings of love for him. Emanuele's handsome and icy face appeared in Isabella's mind once again, along with his words.

He had said he never lacked for women. With a mere gesture, he could have many women flocking to him. Isabella knew that with Emanuele's looks and charm, it was undoubtedly true. But it wasn't the same for her.

"You're a lousy slut, fat and ugly. No man would ever like you."

"Your boyfriend is only with you to take your virginity. How could he possibly like a lowly bitch like you?"

"No one would like a big fat girl like you."

Suddenly, Isabella remembered the hurtful words Chloe had said to her. Even though she had taken medication, she felt a suffocating sensation creeping over her.

She had to stop thinking about this. It was becoming unbearable. She might die from it.

But if Emanuele really wanted her to marry Clark, what could she do?

On the other side, Emanuele sat in the car, and Phillip watched him. After a moment of hesitation, Phillip spoke, "Boss, what you're doing, you'll regret it sooner or later."

"I never regretted." Emanuele appeared relaxed, but his actions revealed his true emotions. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, his brow furrowing. It was evident that he was in a terrible mood.

He intended to have Isabella marry Clark to ensure her safety. He was already in a crisis, and now that Isabella was being targeted, being with her would put her in greater danger. Marrying Clark, a leader of the Canadian mafia, would provide her with sufficient protection, and Canada was still relatively safe.

Phillip had no idea what to say to his boss, but he believed Emanuele was making a mistake by pushing Miss Gould away. He was certain that someday Emanuele would regret this decision.

Isabella returned home and locked herself in her room. She believed that a good night's sleep would help. However, when she woke up the next day and recalled the events of the previous night, her heart still ached, making it hard to breathe.

She couldn't understand why Emanuele was so cold and heartless. His body had indicated that he needed her, but he had still unhesitatingly pushed her away.

The thought of this made her heartache, and tears fell uncontrollably. She had never imagined she could become so fragile. Where had the strong, brave girl who had once stood up to Emanuele gone? The girl who could fight Emanuele courageously? She seemed to have vanished.

Isabella felt as fragile as glass, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

Outside her door, Lilly had prepared breakfast but hadn't seen Isabella emerge. She knocked on the door and said, "Isabella, it's time for breakfast."
