In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance

Chapter 129: Grazia is going to marry the Italian Mafia leader

Although Isabella doesn't want to have intimate contact with Emanuele psychologically, her body can't help but comply with him.

Her legs clung uncontrollably to Emanuele's body, and her hands clung uncontrollably to Emanuele's neck, feeling his powerful impact again and again.

She closed her eyes and groaned, feeling Emanuele's massage inside her body.

In the room, there was a passionate sound filling the air, and Isabella felt like she was about to be devoured by Emanuele.

She reached orgasm again and again, but Emanuele did not let go of her, changing positions again and again, until they were both exhausted, Emanuele took Isabella to the bath, and then they went back to bed.

After enjoying herself, Isabella felt a sense of sadness in her heart when she fell asleep in Emanuele's embrace.

She thought she would be the winner of their game, only to find that her body was also craving him.

Isabella feels sad for herself, and she doesn't know in the end who will win, whether it's her or Emanuele.

Isabella thought of what Pippo had said today, and she could not help asking Emanuele, "Emanuele, shall we have a child?"

She tentatively asked, although she knew in her heart that they were not suitable for having children at all now. A child would only become a tool for Emanuele to threaten her.

No woman can abandon her own child. Although she has never been a mother, Isabella knows that the child was born from her own body and blood, and she will never be able to let go of her child for the rest of her life.

Emanuele fell silent for a moment upon hearing Isabella's words. At this very moment, the atmosphere between them was extremely quiet, so quiet that Isabella thought time had come to a standstill.

For a while, Isabella didn't hear Emanuele's voice until he said, "I don't want children."

Child, Emanuele thinks that he should have children when he is forty years old and everything is stable.

And now, everything is so turbulent. He has to face enemy attacks, and his abilities are not strong enough. Having a child at this time is undoubtedly like having a target on his back. Emanuele thinks this is very bad.

Although she had no plans to have a child at this time, Emanuele's direct statement that he did not want children still hurt Isabella.

"But we're married. Shouldn't we have children after getting married?" Isabella asked, despite feeling upset. She restrained her emotions.

"Yes, for ordinary people that may be the case. But Isabella, we are not ordinary people. When I need a child, I will naturally want one."

That would have to wait until he had stabilized all the turmoil.

Because he didn't want his child to be threatened with death as soon as it was born.

Just like him and Grazia when they were young - they experienced so many kidnappings and watched people die around them, including their own mother's death.

He started learning how to kill before fully growing up himself.

He knew how painful that process was and didn't want his own child to become like that too.

As for if it were a girl? If lucky enough she could grow up safely like Grazia did; unlucky enough she might get abducted and raped by someone else or end up losing her husband earlier than herself just like Grazia did with hers.

Thinking of Andrew - who was just an ordinary person but cruelly killed by those bastards - made Emanuele feel suffocated in his chest.

At least don't let their children live in such fear every day?

After hearing Emanuele's words, Isabella felt disheartened and even didn't want to sleep with him anymore.

Why is this man so heartless? She knew his situation was difficult now but she wasn't in a hurry either. However, he said he would naturally want one when he needed a child again... what does that mean? Has he already calculated when exactly he will need a child?

Isabella suddenly felt cold sweat on her body from nowhere; yes from the beginning she should've known this man next to her is a demon.

She saved him yet without hesitation could say wanted to kill her multiple times or force her into marriage even though she said wouldn't easily involve herself in their world!

During these days spent together with him made her think Emanuele had good intentions towards her; thinking maybe deep down inside there wasn't only cold-heartedness within him. But now she realized underestimated him greatly.

Even though he was passionate about being intimate with her, but she was still rational when necessary.

Isabella felt a chill run up her spine, despite the warmth of Emanuele's embrace. She couldn't help but shiver as the coldness persisted.

Not wanting to be caught by Emanuele, Isabella struggled out of his arms and moved to the other side of the bed.

Emanuele pulled her back towards him, but Isabella continued to resist. She turned over onto her back and faced away from him.

He could tell she was angry. Was it because she wanted a child?

Emanuele knew he couldn't let Isabella overthink things.

"Isabella, don't forget that our relationship isn't suitable for having children right now."

"You're right. We haven't even figured out who's winning in this game yet. Having a child is definitely not an option."

Isabella spoke those words before falling silent once again.

Emanuele watched her back as he realized that their relationship could only remain at this level until they resolved their issues. He sighed heavily.

As much as he loved children and wanted one with Isabella, he didn't dare hope for it just yet.

The next morning when Isabella woke up, Emanuele was gone.

It was probably better that way so she wouldn't have to face him while still angry with him.

Thinking about it made her head hurt, so she went downstairs for breakfast and turned on the TV.

Her mother had sent a message saying that she would be going abroad in two days and asked if Isabelle would like to come along; however, Isabel declined.

"You go have fun with Leo! Take some pictures of beautiful scenery for me."

She wasn't really in any mood to travel at all right now.

Grazia also messaged asking if Isabel would accompany her shopping which Isabel accepted.

"Isabel do you know what? Emanuelle wants me to marry Rocco! Oh my God I haven't even gotten over Andrew's death."

Isabel was shocked: "Rocco?"

If she remembered correctly then, Rocco must be some sort of Italian mafia boss or something like that? She recalled seeing him at a wedding once - around forty years old with scars on his face and piercing blue eyes unlike Clark's warm ones; they were filled with calculation making them look somewhat fierce.

Grazia looked like she was about ready to cry: "He said it's what I should do as a mafia princess... that we can take time getting used each other."

Why did Emanuelle always do these things? It only reinforced Isabel's impression of him being an unfeeling devil.
