An Assassin's Love : His To Possess. Chapter Nineteen
Matteo. Isabella’s footsteps echoed in my mind even after the door slammed behind her. I sat still for a moment, staring at the door she had just walked out of. My fists clenched. I told myself to stop thinking about her. She’s nothing. Just a woman. Just... Shit! My emotions has been all over the place since that night, I can't get her out of my head, I can't get the image of her falling down out of my fucking head. I shook my head. I needed to clear my thoughts. Violence always helped. I grabbed my phone and called Rocco. “Meet me in the underground. Bring Alexander.” I walked down to the basement dungeon. The cold air hit me as I opened the steel door. The room smelled of blood, sweat, and fear. Three of Rossi’s men were chained to the wall. Their eyes widened when they saw me. Good. Rocco and Alexander arrived a few minutes later, both quiet, both tense. They knew what this room meant. Not looking at them. My eyes were on the men. “Start with the one on the left.”

Isabella. I was back in training with Enzo. The sun was just coming up, casting a golden glow over the courtyard. My muscles still ached from laying in bed all day with a bandage wrapped around my arm. But I pushed through the pain. Enzo didn’t go easy on me. He never did. To think that after my accident he would be a little soft. Regardless I gave it my all. But even as I tried to focus, I kept noticing Luca. He was acting strange. Distant. Quiet. Usually, he joked during training or cheered me on, but today he barely looked at me. I watched him from the corner of my eye. He wasn’t making eye contact. When we took a short break, I walked up to him. “Luca,” I said softly. “What’s wrong?” He looked at me, then quickly looked away. “Nothing,” he muttered. “Come on. I know you. You’re not fine.” He shook his head. “It’s nothing, Isabella. Really.” But I knew he was lying. I could see it in his eyes. Still, I didn’t want to push too hard. If he didn’t want to t

Isabella. He said no. Matteo looked me dead in the eyes, cold and unshaken, and said, “You’re not strong enough. You don’t belong in this world, you think it's all about playing hero but that's not it..” Just like that. Like he was closing a door that was never meant to be open for me in the first place. I stood there for a second, stunned, heart thudding hard in my chest. Not because I was surprised—he’d always tried to keep me at arm’s length—but because it still hurt. Deeply. “You don’t get to decide that,” I said, my voice trembling not with fear, but rage. “You think because you’ve been through hell, no one else has scars?” His eyes flicked over me, unreadable. “It’s not about scars. It’s about survival. You wouldn’t last.” I laughed. A short, sharp sound. “You have no idea what I’ve survived. My father sold me off like I was nothing. My mother died crying for someone to save her. The mafia chewed through my childhood and spat me out. I’ve seen blood, Matteo. I’ve se

Isabella. "Woah you're a fast learner Hugo." I said admist hard breaths, this morning, If asked Enzo is Hugo could join in our training. Hugo looked so excited when I told him about it. Enzo being the ever sweet guy he is, agreed without any complaint. Unlike some one I know. "Looks like you got yourself a contender Bella." Enzo said with that signature smirk of his. I must say, I didn't expect Hugo to grasp everything this fast."Oh yeah? I'll just have to double the training now wouldn't I." I replied to Enzo's earlier tease."Bella I think we should move on to your exercise sessions " Luca said behind me.Something's not right with Luca, he has been acting strange since my accident, and I can't tell what the problem is.He won't talk to me about what's bordering him. I am beginning to worry." Bella?" I smiled sheepishly. " Sorry, I am right behind you Luca."I gave Hugo a pat on the shoulder. "Beat Enzo's ass Hugo." Hugo smiled at me before nodding.I turned my face to Enzo

Isabella.What do you mean we’re going to my father’s mansion?” I shouted, chasing after Matteo as he walked down the hallway like he hadn’t just turned my world upside down.He didn’t even slow down. His long strides ate up the distance as I struggled to keep up behind him.“You can’t just drop something like that on me without warning!” I said again, louder this time. “Matteo!”Finally, he stopped and turned to face me. There was that usual calm, collected look on his face. It made me want to scream.“I just did,” he said with a small smirk. “We have a dinner there tonight. You should get dressed.”I stared at him. “You—what?”“There’s a dress in your room. Shoes, too,” he added casually. “Wear it.”And then, without another word, he turned his back to me and walked away, his coat brushing behind him like some royal cloak.I stood there in the hallway, completely speechless.I wanted to throw something.I wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him until he explained everything p

She walked out of the hallway like a vision I didn’t know I needed.Isabella.That damn dress curved around her body like it had been sewn on her skin. Dark green. Smooth satin. Soft fabric hugging every inch of her in the most dangerous way possible. Her hair was done, lips glossed, and there was a glint in her eyes like she knew exactly what she was doing—knew exactly how she looked.And God, did she look like sin.My throat went dry the second I saw her. I looked away before I could say or do something I’d regret, but it was too late. The image was burned into my brain—her body in that dress, the soft slope of her shoulder, the line of her collarbone, the way the fabric dipped and clung to her hips.I can't even begin to explain the anger I felt earlier, seeing her with my men Laughing and giggling. Or how muderous I felt when I saw Luca's hands on hers, with trays sprawled around like she baked something. The smell of chocolate still lingered around her.I tried to act like I di

Isabella. I don’t know why Matteo is acting like this. He’s always been cold, sure, but today… today feels different. There’s something in the way he looks at me, or maybe it’s how he avoids looking at me at all. It’s not just the usual cold shoulder. It’s like he’s angry. Or worse, like he doesn’t care at all. I sit beside him in the car, staring out the window, trying not to think too hard. But the silence between us is so loud it makes my skin itch. I had hoped—just a little—that he would be nicer to me today. Maybe say something kind, maybe look at me like I meant something. But no. Instead, he’s harsher than ever. When we pull into his estate, the gates closing behind us, he stops the car near the entrance. “Get down,” he says flatly, without even glancing at me. I blink, confused. “What?” “Get down,” he repeats, already unbuckling his seatbelt. “I’m taking the car.” I climb out slowly, not sure what’s happening. As soon as I shut the door, he moves into the dr

Luca.watch Isabella from a distance as she trains with Enzo and Hugo. She moves fast, her eyes focused, her body light and sharp with every move. It’s hard to believe how far she’s come in just a short time. I remember when she used to sneak out of her father’s estate just to hang out at the Shelta with Max and me. Back then, she didn’t know how to throw a proper punch. But she had fire in her. She still does.My thoughts drift back to those days—her laugh, the way she’d roll her eyes at Max’s jokes, how she always asked questions, even when she wasn’t supposed to. That’s when I realized I had feelings for her. Not just as a friend. Not just as a teammate. But something real. Something strong.Now, she’s here, fighting like someone who’s been in this world all her life. And I can’t stop looking at her.She notices me and walks over, wiping sweat from her forehead.“You good?” she asks. “You’ve been standing there like a statue for five minutes.

Isabella.The girl was crying when I found her, blood on her arms, fear in her eyes. I couldn’t leave her there. I just couldn’t. Even if it meant putting myself in danger.Now, sitting in the backseat of the car, I can feel the weight of Matteo’s silence pressing against my chest like a stone. He didn’t even look at me. Just got in his car and drove off, leaving me standing there with Rocco and Enzo and the girl, who could barely keep her eyes open.Rocco helps me into the second car without saying much. He gives me a long look, though. The kind that says, you shouldn’t have done that, but also the kind that says, I get it.The girl leans against me, her head heavy on my shoulder. She’s cold. I press my hand to her forehead. Burning up.When we get home, I ask Rocco to take care of her. “Please, call someone. A doctor. Anyone,” I say.He nods. “I’ll handle it.”I find Matteo upstairs in his study, standing by the window with his arms folded. The room is dim, shadows curling around t

Isabella. Rocco finds me in the garden just after noon. I’m sitting under one of the tall trees, trying to focus on a book, but the words keep blurring together. My thoughts won’t stay still.He walks up with that half-smile of his, the one that always makes me wonder what he's hiding."Hey Isabella What'sup" he says.I glance up. "Hi Rocco""Matteo wants you on tonight’s mission."I blink. “Seriously?”He nods. “Told me himself.”A wave of surprise, then excitement rolls through me. My stomach flips. I want to run to Matteo and ask him what changed, but I stop dead in my tracks when I remember how cold he's been to me.“Thanks,” I say, standing. “I’ll be ready.”I spend the rest of the day preparing. Going over everything I’ve learned. My hands tremble a little when I lace up my boots, but it’s not fear—it’s anticipation.When night falls, I make my way down to the garage. A few of the men are already there—Enzo, Alexander, Rocco, and two others I don’t know well. They all glance
