In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: She Dreamt of Emanuele's Death

Emanuele stood by Isabella's side, listening to her comforting words to Grazia. Isabella appeared angelic, holding Grazia tenderly and stroking her hair, speaking soothingly. Even though she was filled with sorrow, her eyes welled with tears, she restrained her emotions.

Emanuele gazed at Isabella, noting her remarkable progress during this period. As his wife, she needed this composure, the ability to stay calm in the face of adversity. Even upon hearing of her brother-in-law's death, she could still provide strength and solace to others.

Furthermore, when danger loomed, she could wield a pistol to protect those around her. Although Emanuele didn't expect her to protect anyone, he realized the importance of her having some means to defend herself in case his security personnel couldn't.

Under Isabella's comforting words, Grazia gradually regained her composure. She leaned into Isabella's embrace, her eyes red.

"We had plans to travel to Europe and Egypt. Now, everything's gone."

"Grazia, take a breath, stay calm, be strong. When things settle down, you can still travel. Andrew will be your guardian angel, watching over you."

"You're right. Andrew wouldn't want to see me this upset," Grazia wiped her tears away and took a deep breath, concealing her pain. "I'm the Mafia princess; they killed Andrew not only to make me vulnerable but to threaten Emanuele. Emanuele, do you have any leads on the attackers?"

Grazia's resilience left Isabella in awe.

"We've gathered some leads. My men are verifying them, and once confirmed, I'll make sure Frederick pays for this," Emanuele stated, his eyes burning with rage. His subordinates and now his brother-in-law had fallen. The audacity of the enemy would be repaid.

Emanuele informed Leo of Andrew's death and the need to arrange his funeral. No matter what, Andrew was family, and his tragic death had occurred only after they entered this world. Emanuele understood the importance of giving Andrew a proper send-off.

Leo and Sophia were equally saddened upon hearing the news. "After the funeral, I'll send you and Grazia out of the country. We'll go to Greece for a while, and once things have settled down, you can return," Emanuele decided.

"What about Isabella?" Sophia inquired. Isabella was delighted that her mother was concerned about her at this time.

"Isabella will stay here, and I will protect her," Emanuele said, his eyes lingering on her full lips, ample bosom, and slender waist. He couldn't bear to be without her, so he was determined to ensure the safety of his penthouse, allowing Isabella to remain by his side.

Emanuele believed that as long as he was capable of protecting himself, he could also protect Isabella.

"I don't want to leave the country," Grazia abruptly spoke up. "Emanuele, I want to stay in your penthouse. Since you can protect Isabella, you can surely look after me too."

"Don't act impulsively," Emanuele sighed.

"Emanuele, please let Grazia stay," Isabella interjected. "I get bored being alone here every day, and with Grazia, I won't feel as lonely."

The penthouse was spacious with many guest rooms, so Isabella felt it was more than accommodating. Her primary concern was Grazia's well-being, not to mention that she was Grazia's sister-in-law and her friend. Emanuele reluctantly agreed, promising to do his best to keep them safe.
