“Emanuele, what’s going on? I know Isabe has been through a lot of danger while with you, but this isn’t what I expected. Isabe doesn’t strike me as someone who would leave you just because of danger,” rk considered Emanuele a friend and had witnessed firsthand how Emanuele had married Isabe.


    He genuinely hoped for Emanuele and Isabe to have a longsting rtionship. However, they had only been married for a short while, so why was this happening now? rk couldn’t help but worry, prompting him to call Emanuele to get to the bottom of things. He had been a yboy before, familiar with the hearts of women. If Emanuele needed help, he was willing to lend a hand.


    To his surprise, Emanuele responded coldly, “rk, you don’t need to say anything. I understand what you mean, but I believe letting Isabe go is the best decision.” rk was taken aback. This wasn’t the Emanuele he knew. The Emanuele he knew would never let go of something he liked. How could he be afraid now? Even in the face of death, Emanuele had never shown fear. rk couldn’t understand why Emanuele was backing away from his feelings for Isabe.


    Emanuele stopped drinking and swirled his ss, watching it spin on the table like a toy. rk was astonished, and he knew why. Emanuele was not a good man; if he wanted something, he would possess it. Isabe was the woman he liked. How could he let her go so easily? rk believed Emanuele would cruelly keep Isabe by his side, even if it meant her death.


    “What about you? If Madilyn staying with you meant death, would you still keep her by your side?” When Emanuele mentioned Madilyn, rk fell silent. “You’re right, but didn’t you already take care of those enemies? Isabe was seriously injured, but she’s okay, right?”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I don’t want to talk about this. If Isabe wants a divorce, I have to grant her wish,” Emanuele said before hanging up.


    rk never expected Emanuele to hang up on him like that. He sighed deeply. What the heck? He had rushed to check on Emanuele upon learning about the situation, only to be dismissed. rk was not overly warm-hearted, but he considered Emanuele a friend and was touched to see Emanuele fall in love with someone. He wondered if he should help reconcile Emanuele and Isabe.


    A Mafia boss getting a divorce was a big deal, and it couldn’t be taken lightly. But Emanuele seemed to dismiss rk’s help. So be it. rk decided to call Isabe since they were friends now. He wanted to check on her situation. He couldn’t understand why Isabe was so determined to divorce Emanuele. If she really wanted a divorce, shouldn’t she have done it a long time ago when she faced so much danger?


    Isabe and Evelyn were now at a bar. With Emanuele’s decision to divorce Isabe, Tony and the others had left, leaving Isabepletely free. She was no longer surrounded by as many bodyguards, feeling a newfound sense of freedom. But she felt a bit uneasy. Previously, she had always had a driver, but now she and Evelyn had to take a cab to the bar.


    Sitting in the bar, they had beers in front of them. Knowing Isabe couldn’t handle strong alcohol, Evelyn stopped her from drinking high-proof liquor. Beer was fine, but too much could still make someone intoxicated. Isabe started drinking as soon as she sat down, one bottle after another. Evelyn underestimated her friend.


    Seeing Isabe downing three bottles of beer in one go, Evelyn tried to stop her. “Isabe, stop drinking. Let’s take it slow. Drinking so much at once will make you drunk.”


    Isabe looked at Evelyn with reddened eyes, a sad and pained expression on her face. Evelyn felt uneasy seeing her friend like this.


    Isabe’s phone rang, and she hesitated before answering rk’s call, disappointed it wasn’t Emanuele. She felt somewhat disgusted with herself. What was she thinking? She had pushed Emanuele away herself. How could she still hope for him to reach out to her?


    Isabe answered rk’s call, and he greeted her warmly. “Isabe, what’s going on between you and Emanuele? I heard you had a fight and are considering divorce.”


    Realizing rk was just being nosy, Isabe sighed. “Emanuele and I are fine. Despite our feelings, I value my life. I almost diedst time, and I can’t risk my life for someone I love. So, I decided we’re notpatible and chose to part ways.”


    “But, Isabe, that doesn’t sound like you. If you love someone, you wouldn’t let fear of deathe between you.”


    He had seen through countless people, understanding women’s hearts very well. If Isabe truly feared death, she should never have married Emanuele in the first ce, let alone wait until now.


    “You’re wrong, rk. When I was with Emanuele, it was because I loved him. But now, I realize my life and safety are more important than anything else. Our divorce means I will have my share of his wealth, making me safe and wealthy. That’s my n.”


    Isabe portrayed herself as a cold-hearted, calcting woman. She hoped rk wouldn’t try to reconcile them anymore. She was afraid she might give in and spill everything to him.


    rk was shocked by her words. “I also spoke to Emanuele, and he’s heartbroken. Isabe, despite your fear of danger and death, don’t you still have some feelings for him? Could youfort him and help him move on?”
