Mafia's Only Daughter

46 BOUND BY FURY.

The target is not completed yet, but I am posting this chapter for my loyal readers who love to appreciate me through their kind words in the comment section and by their votes.

But this is not happening again guy's! I do so much work, to write a chapter, then I have to edit it for the quotation marks using ai. Then I re read it 5 to 6 times so there shouldn't be any mistake but in the end I don't even receive the votes from you all.

Just kindly think about me too. I appreciate you all read the chapter but a single vote from you won't do any harm to you, but for me it's a appreciation from you. Kindly vote on the chapter.

ISABELLA'S POV:

The lecture began, and I focused completely on my studies. Time passed quickly as one of my new friends accompanied me to all the lectures. Soon, it was time for lunch, and we headed to the canteen. As I entered, my eyes immediately fell on my brothers sitting at the center table, surrounded by a crowd. Moving closer, I froze in my tracks when I saw a girl kissing Aure on the lips. Scrunching my nose in the distaste, I turned to walk towards another table, but a sharp voice stopped me.

"HEY, YOU! COME HERE!" The same girl, who was kissing Aure, called out, her eyes fixed on me.

I blinked at her, pointing to myself in confusion as if asking if she was addressing me. She nodded, and I hesitantly walked toward her. Without warning, she shoved me with enough force to send me sprawling to the ground. My elbow slammed into something hard, and pain shot through me.

My friends rushed to me immediately, and Matteo was by my side in an instant. Without a word, he scooped me up in his arms and settled me on his lap on a nearby chair. Gently, he removed my bag and rolled up my sleeve to examine my elbow. His face darkened with fury, and his eyes gleamed with unrestrained anger.

"Bring the damn first aid kit, NOW!" he roared, his voice echoing through the room. I flinched at the intensity of his tone and prayed he didn't notice, or he'd start asking questions.

I quickly hugged him to hide my tears, running my fingers through his hair in an attempt to calm him. Luc had taught me this little trick, explaining it worked well to soothe someone's anger. Matteo's breathing slowed, but before I could feel relieved, a commotion drew my attention.

Sofia was sitting on the girl's stomach, punching her repeatedly. Before I could react, Rose pulled Sofia away, and Jane promptly took her place.

"You pathetic excuse of a human being! How DARE you raise your hand against my best friend?! I'll show you what happens to people like you!" Jane growled, delivering a sharp punch to the girl's throat, followed by another to her face.

"Enough, Jane!" Alessandro commanded, his voice firm.

Jane turned to him, her fists still clenched. "No! I'm not done yet!"

"Jane, you'll hurt yourself. Please stop," I said softly. She looked at me and sighed, eventually nodding.

"Take her away," Lorenzo ordered to one of our family's guards. Aure remained quiet the entire time, which worried me.

"Aure, are you okay?" I asked cautiously.

He didn't respond, his eyes glued to the girl who had just been dragged out. Then, without a word, he picked up his bag and walked away. His coldness stung more than I cared to admit.

"Piccolo, don't worry about him. He just needs some time. Now, let me clean your wound," Matteo reassured me.

After tending to my elbow, Matteo asked if I wanted to go home or stay for the rest of the lectures. I chose to stay. Before leaving, he kissed my forehead and handed me some cash.

I returned to my seat with my friends, who introduced me to a few new faces. Among them were Federico and Chiara, both of whom seemed lovely.

We had lunch together and then attended the remaining classes. Chiara and I were in the same class, and she made the day enjoyable. However, my thoughts kept drifting back to Aure and his unusual behavior.

After college, the driver picked me up and dropped me home. The house was unusually quiet, so I went straight to my room to freshen up. I spent the evening working on my assignments and studying. Feeling restless, I decided to visit the library to read.

Selecting a book didn't take long. I settled near the large window and started reading Peer-e-Kamil-an English version of my favorite Urdu novel. The story captivated me, and I lost track of time.

It wasn't until I glanced at the clock that I realized it was 10:30 PM. Panicking, I rushed to the dining room, expecting everyone to be angry. To my surprise, I found them laughing and enjoying themselves. Hiding behind the door, I watched for a moment before stepping inside.

"What took you so long, baby?" Aure asked, smiling softly.

"I lost track of time while reading," I replied, taking my seat.

Dinner passed in relative silence, and afterward, I retired to my room.

THIRD PERSON POV:

SAME DAY WHEN ISABELLA WAS PUSHED:

Aurelio sat in the canteen with his girlfriend, who leaned in to kiss him. He reciprocated, but a surge of anger bubbled inside him when she pulled away and called out to Isabella.

"HEY, YOU! COME HERE!"

His gaze shifted to Isabella, and an unfamiliar protectiveness washed over him. He remained seated as events unfolded, his fists clenched under the table. When Isabella was shoved to the ground, rage consumed him, but he forced himself to stay still, knowing his family would handle it.

After the confrontation, Aure stormed out of the canteen, heading to the boxing club to blow off steam. Hours later, he arrived at the Romano warehouse.

Walking into the dimly lit room where a prisoner awaited, he barked orders to his guards. As he stepped closer to the person tied to a chair, a voice broke the silence.

"Aurelio, please save me, baby," the woman pleaded.
