Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

James arrived at an apartment with Skye. The apartment looked spacious and grand. As they entered, there was a foyer with dark gray cabinets holding sculptures of which Skye was unfamiliar, but they seemed expensive. Moving forward, they entered a spacious living room with off-white sofas, bright yellow coffee tables, and various plants on the balcony, giving the place a lively atmosphere. The apartment was filled with vibrant colors, even the clocks on the wall were a bright yellow. At that moment, Skye immediately dismissed her last thought that she was being held captive. This apartment was full of life; if someone truly wanted to imprison her, they wouldn’t have chosen this place.

Soon the door opened again, and Skye saw Billy. The couple embraced each other as soon as they met.

“Billy, I thought I was going to die there; I thought I’d never see you again,” Skye said.

“Me too, Skye, I was really worried about you,” Billy replied.

Tears filled the eyes of both as they met and eventually embraced each other, weeping.

Afterward, they stayed in the apartment. Someone was specially appointed to bring them food every day, and there were guards protecting them, claiming it was for their safety. They had never experienced this level of protection and felt a bit nervous.

Fortunately, they soon met Evelyn.

Evelyn comforted her parents. “You are safe living here. Don’t worry. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been involved with Pippo. If I hadn’t been with him, you wouldn’t have been in danger.”

Evelyn revealed the truth to her parents.

“Oh my, during this time, we were in regular contact with Pippo. When you weren’t around, he would visit us, always bringing gifts, chatting with us, having meals with us, and even personally cooking for us. How could he be this kind of person?” Skye exclaimed.

“Yes, I never thought he would be like this. I always thought he was a good person. At the very least, he was good at chatting. We would always chat for an hour or two. I never thought he would want to harm us. It’s shocking and incomprehensible,” Evelyn’s parents expressed.

Evelyn understood her parents’ feelings. Wasn’t she the same? After discovering William’s true nature, she felt as though her entire worldview had collapsed. She knew her parents needed time to process this. Evelyn led her parents to the sofa and went to pour some tea.

“So, Evelyn, are we going to live here now?” her parents asked.

“For the time being, you’ll stay here. You’ll be safe here,” Evelyn replied.

She looked at the guard nearby, whom she didn’t know, but because they were all Emanuele’s people, she felt reassured. Her parents staying here was absolutely safe.

James had completed his task; now, he had to carry out other missions, such as searching for William. He was Emanuele’s most trusted assistant, handling all the highly dangerous tasks.

However, Evelyn knew that William was not an ordinary enemy; he was too formidable. Otherwise, Emanuele wouldn’t have been unable to find him for so long.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking back to the humiliations she suffered at the hands of William, the fact that William had caused the death of Isabella’s daughter, Evelyn felt her hatred engulf her entirely. She wanted to meet William and kill him immediately.

She wanted to take a knife and stab him repeatedly, watching him suffer on the ground. Only then would she feel relieved. But William was as cunning as a fox, and she couldn’t even get close to him. She could only gamble that William would not be able to resist coming to find her.

Evelyn looked at the sky outside, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the birds flying in the air. Winter was gradually disappearing, and spring was about to arrive. However, the gloom in Evelyn’s heart did not dissipate; instead, it grew heavier.

At that moment, a message appeared on Evelyn’s phone: “Evelyn, I miss you. Can you come and see me?”

Evelyn gave a cold laugh and replied to William after a while, “I don’t think we will ever meet again, William. Go to hell!”

“You’re so confident? Do you believe Emanuele can protect you?” William responded.

“I believe you won’t last long. Emanuele will definitely find you,” Evelyn retorted.

“Then I’ll wait and see, Evelyn. Be careful, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t take you away in your sleep.”

“You’re just a rat in the sewer now. You can’t crawl out. Should I be afraid of you?”

“Evelyn, you’re really harsh. Aren’t you afraid of making me angry?”

“Should I be afraid of you? You’re no match for EEmanuele.”

“You just wait and see.”

Evelyn looked at the message. She could sense that William on the other side must be furious. She gave a cold laugh; it would be best if William fumed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t spare him. She would make him pay back double for the harm he had caused her!

Evelyn stayed in the apartment with her parents for two days. During this time, she also learned that Isabella had woken up. Evelyn messaged Isabella, telling her to take care of herself, and that she would visit her in a few days. Isabella replied, “Okay, Evelyn, I’m feeling better recently. Don’t worry about me. Take care of your parents.”

Isabella’s kindness and generosity made Evelyn even more sorrowful. She could have gone to see Isabella, but she felt that she was not suitable to appear in front of Isabella at the moment. The main reason was that when she thought about Isabella’s child, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart, her guilt spreading through her veins, making her feel dirty and unworthy of living in this world.

Even though Elisa comforted her, Evelyn couldn’t help but blame herself. She had been suffering from insomnia recently. Every time she closed her eyes at night, she would see Isabella caressing her stomach, expressing her desire to become a mother, her eyes filled with hope for the future. Thinking about these things made Evelyn feel extremely uncomfortable, so she would immediately open her eyes.

If she had not hesitated so much at the time, Emanuele could have been prepared in time. She felt it was all her fault, so she dared not go to see Isabella now. Although Isabella did not know about this matter, seeing her fragile state lying in bed, she would definitely grieve for her deceased daughter, and her heart would break.

After she settled her own affairs, she would go see Isabella.

That day, Evelyn went out without taking anyone with her. Before leaving, she told her parents, “I might not be back for a few days. Have fun in the apartment. If you need anything, just ask the guards, they will take care of your needs.”

“Evelyn, since it’s so dangerous outside, can you please not go out?” Skye expressed her concern.

“I have important matters to attend to, Mom. Just remember to think of me,” Evelyn said.
