Bellissima

Author’s POV

“Who did this to you?”

Bella asked shocked. Who has guts to hit Mafia prince.

Alexander sighed.

“It’s a long Story”

“Wanna tell me in short”

She asked.

“Later Bella”

He sat on the chair and pulled her on his lap.

Bella stiffened as he rested his face in her neck, his hot breath tickled her. She wanted to push him away but he was looking tired, more like defeated. She couldn’t make it worst for him.

“Bella?”

He mumbled and she replied with hmm.

“Can I ask you something?”

He asked and she said yes.

Her fingers slide in his hair and he closed his eyes with that soft touch. He haven’t been intimate like this with any other girl, but with Bella he wants to open himself like a book. He wants to show her his vulnerable side. She felt like a healer.

“What would you do to bring back a person whom you love more than yourself…”

He asked.

Bella looked at him confused.

“You love someone?”

She asked.

“More than myself”

He replied wrapping his hands around her waist.

Pang of Jealousy hit her heart.

“If that person loves you then they won’t leave in the first place…”

She replied.

“What if circumstances makes them do that”

He questioned.

“Nothing can win against love… If they wants to come back they will and you don’t even have to try…”

She looked into his eyes thinking whom he Loves so much. Who is that lucky person.

“What if it’s a battle… You have to fight to bring them back?”

He was looking sad.

“Then fight till your last breath… But the condition is, that person should be worthy of it.”

She smiled at him.

Alexander smiled back.

“It feels good when I talk to you…”

“Who is that person?”

She asked hesitatingly.

He smiled looking at her face.

“My better half”

He replied and she frowned. Amanda is his wife, whom people call better half then who is this another person.

“Girl?”

She asked and he chuckled.

He was about to answer but someone cleared their throat and they looked at the person.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Bella quickly got up from his lap and Alexander stood up too.

“Dad?”

Alexander acknowledged his presence. Bella hide behind Alexander when Massimo looked at her.

“I am here to meet her.”

He gestured towards Bella.

Bella clutched on Alexander tightly.

“I don’t want to die.”

She whispered to him.

“Dad, I am sure it was an accident… You can’t kill her for that”

Alexander suppressed his laugh. He was enjoying the way she was clutching on him and knows that his father definitely won’t kill her.

“Please help me.”

She pulled him closer by holding tightly.

“I am not here to kill her.”

He said.

“Leave us alone, i want to talk to her”

“Don’t leave me”

Bella refused to let him go.

“Bella he wants to talk to you… He won’t hurt you, i promise”

Alexander assured.

He stepped away from her and Bella looked at Massimo with fear. His look alone was intimidating.

“This is for you”

He handed her box.

Bella looked at him with wide eyes.

“Pastries”

She mumbled in disbelief, this was the last thing she was expecting from him.

“For what?”

“I might have scared you in the morning… I didn’t mean it”

He sighed.

Bella smiled at him. He was trying to say sorry but he didn’t said ‘Sorry’

“I don’t know what made you react that way but i assure you that you are safe from me… I don’t hurt women…”

He stated.

Bella’s smile widened.

“I was scared of you but not anymore… You are so sweet, thank you so much…”

She wasn’t expecting this from him but again, this man is completely different with his family.

“I am not sweet”

He scowled and started walking away.

“Father in law!”

Bella blocked his way.

“Don’t you wanna taste it too…”

She offered.

“I don’t like sweets.”

He replied with straight face.

“Umm… Okay, then take one for Maa.”

She suggested.

Massimo smiled realizing this girl is pure, naive. He is relieved that she is making her place in this family as he can see that his son is getting attached to her.

“I have already purchased for her. You can have it”

He said and walked away.

“How romantic”

Bella grinned.

Massimo stopped in front of Alexander.

“I hope you know what you are doing”

“I know dad, i am not going to hurt her”

He sighed.

“I am not talking about the girl… I am talking about your face”

Massimo gritted madly as he saw cut on his lips.

“It was my fault, i crossed limits…”

Alexander rubbed his forehead.

“He loves her, dad… I saw that in his eyes”

“Did you mistook obsession as love… This is not how man should love”

He countered.

“I know whatever happened there… What did that girl said?”

Alexander looked away embarrassed.

“She thinks she is his whore”

“She is not wrong… I am sure he is treating her like one…”

Massimo was getting angry with each passing second.

“Is she fine… Is he beating her?”

“No!”

Alexander was quick to answer.

“Infact I think she feels that he can protect her. She ran straight to him from my hold…”

“That’s what Stockholm syndrome looks like.”

Massimo scoffed.

“Show me her picture”

He demanded.

“She is fucking kid”

Massimo growled, after looking at her picture.

“Dad please calm down… She is not kid… She is 25 years old, she just looks younger than her age.”

Alexander defended him.

“Ridiculous”

He cursed.

“Dad, it’s happening with her will… She told me that she is with him for money… And it will end in few days.”

Alexander informed.

“You are stupid if you think he will let her go… He raised hands on you means it’s serious…”

He shook his head.

“Give him some time… He will make it right. I have talked to him.”

He assured.

“Sooner the better…”

Massimo said and walked away.

Alexander sighed defeated.

“Dominick what are you doing, bro”

He shook his head.

“Alexander”

He saw Bella running towards him with huge grin, it felt like happiness is running towards him.

“See, he gave me this… Wow! He is so nice”

She exclaimed looked at pastries.

“He said sorry?”

He raised eyebrows.

“Not really but i understood the meaning behind it.”

She smiled.

“Expected… He never says sorry to anyone except my mother”

He said.

“He loves her so much”

Bella said in awe.

Alexander stopped smiling.

“It’s more than just love”

He mumbled shaking his head, knowing the reality of his parents relationship.

“What did you say?”

She asked as she couldn’t hear him properly.

“Nothing, I said I want pastry too”

He lied.

“Okay but i think we should treat your injury first.”

She suggested and led him towards his room.

“You didn’t tell me who did this?”

She asked while cleaning his cut.

“What where you doing whole day?”

He ignored her question.

“You are avoiding my questions”

She complained.

He sighed.

“Bella i don’t want you to get involved in this mess… It’s fucked up. I am protecting you from it.”

Bella nodded.

“Right… I should stay away from it”

Knowing she will be leaving in few days.

‘it will so hard to leave from here’

She thought.

‘I won’t do the mistakes which Dominick did, Bella… You are mine and i won’t loose you at any cost.’

Alexander looked at her.
