My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: This Is Your Fault!

Isabella and Carmella were shoved out of the premises like gate crashers who had been caught.

"I said you didn’t have to push me!" Carmella shouted at the top of her lungs, but the guards simply stood like a barricade in front of the entrance.

She ground her teeth, glaring at them. "Do you even know who I am?!"

"Mom!" Isabella screamed from her side, snapping Carmella out of her growing rage.

When Carmella turned, all she saw was the deep frustration on her daughter’s face. Isabella’s eyes were red, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, her teeth grinding.

Seeing that, Carmella’s shoulders sagged as her voice softened. "Isabella..."

But Isabella only whimpered before storming away.

"Isabella!" Carmella shouted after her, following behind, but not without glaring at the guards. "Remember this! You don’t know the people you just offended! You’ll regret this!"

After spitting out the empty warning fueled by rage, Carmella hurried after her daughter. As for the guards, they simply watched the mother and daughter walk away after humiliating themselves.

"Should we be worried?" one man asked the other. "They’re still from the Di Carpios, and knowing that man, he’s going to settle the score."

The guards exchanged glances until one of them said, "The Di Carpios might be the shallowest people I’ve ever heard of, but don’t forget whose territory this is." He turned to his colleagues, brows raised. "Dominion wouldn’t let that happen."

Although hosting a party in the center of Dominion’s territory was risky in itself, they were also not the type to let anyone tarnish their name.

"Still, it’s better to inform Madam Shyaan just in case," another guard suggested. "They wouldn’t dare do anything here, but once we’re outside this territory? These are the Di Carpios."

Meanwhile, Isabella and Carmella sat in the limousine on their way back to their hotel in complete silence. Carmella tried to speak to her daughter, but Isabella was inconsolable. In the end, she gave her space until they arrived.

Once they stepped out, Carmella called after her, "Isabella, dear—"

Much to her surprise, Isabella—who had been stomping ahead—suddenly stopped and looked back.

"What?!" Isabella snapped, her anger now fully apparent.

Carmella sighed and approached her. "Isabella, sweetheart, I know this is ridiculous. We fell into that bitch’s trap—"

"We?" Isabella slapped her mother’s hand away and stepped back. "Mom, I didn’t fall into anyone’s trap. You did!"

"What?"

"I told you to stay out of it! But you insisted! If you hadn’t overdone it, it wouldn’t have escalated like this! Now, not only was I humiliated along with you, but Lucian had to see that!" Isabella was practically screaming, her frustration spilling over. "God!"

Hissing, she stomped her foot and stormed inside the hotel, wiping away her tears.

As for Carmella, she reached out, but stopped midway. This was the first time she had seen her daughter this upset. It wasn’t surprising. This was also the first time Isabella had experienced something like this. Carmella, on the other hand, was used to it, especially back when the Di Carpios were still building their name.

The elites would humiliate her, shun her, and treat her like dirt.

It was why Carmella had sworn her daughter would never experience the same. And so, she did everything to shield Isabella from the ruthless and savage reality of their world.

"Tsk!" she clicked her tongue bitterly, Ashley’s face flashing in her mind. "That little whore. How dare she..."

Her chest rose and fell heavily, her hands balling into fists. "That bitch... I’ll teach her a lesson." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A glint flickered in her eyes as she marched toward the elevator. Her anger only grew stronger with each step.
