Isabella POVA few hours later, I fully sink into the role of the bride, Bianca and I head to the hotel first, the makeup artist and stylist are already in full move.I need Coffee, I pout at Bianca, ill be upstairs soon, I tell her as we arrive.She nods walking away, I head into the restaurant, quickly grabbing a cup of coffee.The elevator doors open and my eyes meet with bright blue ones, panic written on his face.“Whoa, you two are not meant to see each other till later today,” Rafaelle says, tapping the elevator button quicklyBefore it can close, I step inside, I don’t know why I do, but I do “Good morning” I say, sipping on my drinkDominic stays quiet and unmoving, watching the elevator doors as they move upwards, the lights shinning brightly at his form in a casual shirt and pants“Good morning” Rafaelle responds sensing the tense air “I can see you’re in a great mood this morning, no nerves?” Rafaelle continues“I’ll see you at the alter Rafaelle,” I say the elevator doors
Dominic POVThe elevator door closes and I finally stop holding my breath.“What was that about?” Rafaelle frowns turning to me“It's nothing, the Driver is he ready?” we leave in an hour “Are you ready to do this? Are you absolutely sure?” he turns to me, “No going back after this”.I nod, remembering what happened in the last 12 hours, I kissed her, her lips so inviting, her skin was so soft, she felt so good, and I'm sure it would have led somewhere but her friends had to come and ruin it.I had gone downstairs when my sisters called me to their room urgently, something about it being an emergency.I rushed to their room only to find Grace there, again it was her trying to make me believe she was cool now, we sat down and had a few drinks, the next morning I woke up half naked on her bed.I didn't pay her any mind as the wedding was in a few hours and I had to get back to New York I had promised to speak to her later about it but everything has been hectic since we got back.We dr
Isabella POVHe sighs, turning to me, “Isabella, you know I won't force you to do anything you do not want to do right?” he raises a brow at me I stand, the room quiet, the room reflecting with golden light, “You are Mrs Deluca now, my wife and my equal, Do what you want, just fulfill your part of the contract” he nods grabbing a few clothes, he walks past me up the stairs to the bathroomI quickly turn around in the mirror, trying to think of a way to pull my dress off since it's corset style.I hear the shower rubbing, I quickly try everything, even with the clothes hanger, but nothing works, soon I hear the shower stop running, I try to rush back to the couch but he comes down the stairs his eyes meeting with mine.My hair scattered, sweat glazing my skin, “Do you need help with that?”I breathe heavily, nodding at him.He throws the towel across his neck and walks slowly to me, the blue pajamas hug his waist, and a body-hugging white T-shirt covering his upper body, makes my brea
Isabella POVThe car moves slowly and I take the time to admire my surroundings, the home Dominic had gotten for us is in the best parts of New York, Manhattan.The car comes to a stop in front of a mansion with black gates barricading the mansion, the gate has a huge D in front of it, painted in gold and they part open upon arrival.The car comes to a stop and I spot my new Mother-in-law pacing the front of the vintage double doors.“What does she want now?” I mumble to myself.I push the cat door open, my feet meeting the graveled floor, “Madame DeLuca” I call out, her attention turning to me, eyes in a slit, and brows turned downward in worry.“You are here, is anything the matter?” I frown walking towards her.“Has the marriage been consummated?” She goes straight to the point halting me in my tracks I frown, my nose turned upwards in annoyance, “I think I’d rather keep that information to myself” I almost want to roll my eyes, I have better things to do and she’s currently wasti
Isabella POVI wake up to Thelma hovering over me, my ears ringing and my head hurting.“My head hurts” I squint trying to sit up but she stops me.“You hit your head when you fell, the doctor just left, he said you will be fine” she replies, turning to the table in the bedroom and grabbing a jug of water.“Here” she hands me the glass of water, “The doctor gave you medicine, your headache will go in no time”I frown sipping the water. Looking around the large bedroom, the room is painted white and has a vintage feel to it, with a king-sized bed and brown and white sheets covering the bed.“Mr. DeLuca is in his office” She notices the question mark on my face, “I will tell him you’re awake” She nods turning around“Don’t bother,” a deep drown takes over my features, my eyes narrowing, and my jaw clenching in anger “I’ll find him myself, just direct me to the office” I stand up from the bed, the floor seems to tilt as I stand up feeling dizzy and almost falling back down on the bed.“M
DOMINIC POVThe clock ticking loudly in my office frustrates me, almost as much as Isabella does. My fingers drum on the table scattered with piles of paper, my mind was not on the multiple Business deals and mafia politics but on Isabella, for someone who needed peace of mind and to never fall in love, she occupied my thoughts twenty-four seven without even trying.A knock pulls me out of my thoughts and the maid's voice follows “Sir, Mr. Roman” She walks in followed by a man in his thirties, bald head and a tattoo running down from the side of his face to his neck.I always wanted Tattoos but growing up my father never allowed it, even though we were the head of the Mafia family he was big on us not looking suspicious in any form.“Sir” he walks in intertwining his fingers between each other, his left hand carrying a tattoo that signifies the Silver Mafia cartel, a drawn tattoo of a silver bullet.“You may go, Maria,” I say to the maid, watching him leave closing the door behind her
Isabella POVThe walk of shame back to the bedroom is one I never imagined I would do, my box lay haphazardly on the floor, and I grab the bag walking back into the bedroom.My eyes water and my lips shake with tears, before I can let it all out, a knock on the door follows.“Mrs. Deluca, it's Madame Thelma, you need to decide on tonight's dinner choice”I frown, is this what he wants me to do all day at home? Renovate his home and plan dinners and charity events.“Do anything you want please” I gently call out from inside the bedroom“Okay mam, dinner is at seven, Mr. Deluca has dinner usually by then, do you want to make any altercations?”“No Madame Thelma” I reply, her footsteps following and fading away, after dinner, I can hear out to see Bianca and tell her about the drama that is my life nowMy mind reels back to Fominic warning me about telling anyone about the Mafia, I bit my lip, nervousness pumping through me, I don't want to put her in any danger, what will Dominic do to
ISABELLA POV“Dom” I moan out loud, his fingers tracing the skin around my thighs “Please Dom, touch me” I continue to writhe in his arms, his lips meets with mine and it makes me almost vibrate.“Do you want me,” he whispers, his voice deep and seductive in my ears, his fingers trace the hands of my dress pushing it down and revealing my cream shoulders“Yes Dom, please” I arch towards him, my fingers behind his head, gripping the folds with my dear life, I felt alive, like I was going to melt In two minutes.“Hmm” he hums leaving traces of kisses and goosebumps on my skin follows, “I’m going to Fuck you” he whispers in my earsMy breath leaves my throat as I push myself from my dream, waking up, the room is cold, the duvet is pushed down to my ankles, my silk nightgown sticks to my skin, my hair is plastered to my neck and my neck is wet with sweat.The door is pushed open and Dominic enters at that exact time, his shirt is rolled to his ankles exposing his muscular arms, a blue ve
ISABELLA POV “Doctor” Dominic turns to the door, slowly calming me down as he walks in “Do you want me to come back later?” He asks sadly, his eyes a reflection of his expression Dominic turns his eyes to me with questions. I nod wiping away the tears on my cheek, but the thought of the baby fills my mind again, the fact I had no idea the entire time, my mind flashes with the nausea I had developed and I only thought I was sick, the cravings, the fact I could not stand the smell of eggs. I ignored all the signs, I ignored everything, and didn't put my baby first, my eyes moves to Dominic, he must be so sad, an heir lost just like a pencil disappearing into thin air. I gulp turning to the Doctor who sends me a smile. “How are you doing now Mrs DeLuca?” He raises a brow at me moving closer to examine me, “Any pain? Complaints? Your husband made sure you had the best care” he sends me a smile trying to ease the tension In the room. “I mean he even had to buy out the enti
ISABELLA POV “I don’t understand” the words pour out of my lips in confusion, my eyes move to Dominic guilty ones and back to the nurse with a deep frown on my face. “What do you mean loss of my baby?” I turn to Dominic a sad smile on my lips, I think it’s time I confess to him. “During the surgery, you-“ The nurse pauses, her eyes moving between me and Dominic. “Can we be alone please?” Dominic turns to her, his eyes narrowed at her form. “Yes sir” she squeaks hurriedly leaving the room with a guilty expression on her face. “Bella” Dominic turns his eyes to me, filled with guilt and regret. “No Dominic, I have to speak to you first, I have to confess something delicate” I gulp my eyes nervously meeting with his. “I am so sorry I lied to you, I am sure by now you have discovered the painful truth” I sigh bowing my head down in shame. “I am not pregnant Dominic, I lied-“ I pause my eyes rising to meet his. “I lied about being pregnant because I was covering up for R
DOMINIC POV The walk to the hallway makes my heart thump as I have no idea what I would say to her. I shut my eyes taking everything in before I walk forward. “When you’re ready you can enter,” the Doctor tells me as we reach the transparent window. My eyes meet with Isabella's weak form on the bed, the pipe in her mouth removed as she looks around the room confused. My fingers slip across my shirt, nervously gulping the lump in my throat, “I can do this, I have to do this” I whisper to myself reassuringly. My fingers grip the door open pushing it open She gasps, her eyes turning to the door with her eyes wide, “Dom” she whispers, her voice frail and weak. “I am right here, you’re fine” I whisper moving closer to her as the monitor's beep, the sound echoing around the room. “Where am I? What happened?” She tries to speak hurriedly, followed by a strong cough. My eyes move across the room, spotting the jug of water, quickly getting water, I carefully feed her a bit,
DOMINIC POV “Thank you, I will reach out to you later” I nod at the phone, my eyes moving back to Isabella’s form on the bed, the beeping of the monitors filling my ears. “I promise you Bella, I will find who did this to you, and I will punish that person severely,” I say my voice filled with anger. I swallow the lump in my throat, my heart thumping in my chest, as much as I am filled with anger, I am also filled with fear, “who would do such a thing? Who could have the access to do this?” I sigh thinking it through, there is no way this had happened in my home or the DeLuca Mansion, leaving only one place. Dave’s apartment complex, she had parked her car there for a few minutes and anything would have happened around that time. “But how did this person know where she was heading to? Was she being followed?” I frown at my thought wave, my mind jumbled up with different ideas. “Who would hate us this much to go this far?” I whisper to myself, “I took the threats seriousl
DOMINIC POV My heart drops in my chest at the news but I gulp, thinking it over, we can always have more children when we are ready. Despite the news breaking me, I face the doctor, “What about her? I want to see her now” I say my voice bold and filled with determination. I will do anything for her at this point, even if it costs me the world, everyone else can go and find a different planet to live on as long as I can keep her happy. “She is out of surgery but we can’t tell from her current condition right now,” he pauses looking through the files in his hands. “She will be transferred to the ICU soon but she can’t have visitors for now due to hospital policy,” he says with a sad frown. “Hospital policy? Do you know who I am?” I raise a brow at him, my tone coming out as a threat. He bites his lips stepping back as I step forward threateningly “I am sorry Mr DeLuca, it is hospital policy, she will remain in the ICU for a few days and after that, when we transfer her, you can
DOMINIC POV “What do you mean by this is your fault?” I turn my eyes to her confused My mother walks forward trying to pull her to her side, “she means nothing, this was not her fault” she says nervously, her eyes moving around the room with anxiety. “We don’t have to talk about this here” she whispers to her but everyone can hear her. “What do you mean this was your fault?” My deep voice booms across the room again, leaving no space to lie, she said something, why would she claim the accident is her fault? Was I right about my sisters being behind the threat? Was this accident planned? Was this accident planned by them specifically? I narrow my eyes at her, waiting for an answer as anger fills my veins. “Come on man, calm down, don’t stare at her like you want to kill her” Rafaelle's hands snap around my shoulder pulling me back. Tears fill Rachel’s eyes as she looks around the room once more, my mom and Francesca try to hold her back but she shakes her head, her face filled w
DOMINIC POV The entire room engulfs in silence and you could hear a pin drop. “You can go ahead with the surgery Doctor, I approve” I nod at the waiting doctor. He hands me a few documents to sign and disappears behind the double doors. My heart races in my chest, turning back to the distraught expression on everyone’s face. Everyone knew what this meant, the entire time Isabella was pregnant and she didn’t even realize, she took the fall for Rachel and claimed a false pregnancy only to be pregnant herself. I sigh, spotting an empty chair at the edge of the waiting room, I never thought I would be in this situation ever. I prided myself in my money, and power and I thought I could protect Bella with all of that, but today, I couldn’t even save our child. And for the fact that we had been intimate just once and now we were going to lose the baby. My heart drops in my chest at the thought of telling Bella, this would crush her, she won’t be happy, and this would suck the soul o
DOMINIC POV“What do you mean by an accident?” Isabella? Is she okay?” Rafaelle yells back at me, eyes wide in alarm from the call I just got.My fingers quiver as I quickly stand up, ending the call.“She got into a road accident, I have to get to her,” I say hurriedly, the words coming out in a rush.I grab my jacket, sprinting down the hallway to the elevator with Rafaelle right behind me.We make it to the hospital in record time, my heart racing with every passing second and every possible scenario, fear engulfs me at the thought of losing her.I briskly make my way through the hospital doors, my eyes scanning the reception area frantically, landing on the nurse behind the desk.My heart racing, I make it to the nurse, “Isabella Deluca, where is she?” I yell my voice echoing around the room.My heart shatters into a million pieces when the nurse's somber expression meets with mine, her eyes filled with pity, “she's currently with the surgeon. If you could just calm down and wait,
ISABELLA POV The car ride to the Dorm room is fast, as I have to finish with this and head back home before Dominic notices I am gone, which will only cause more suspicion. I bang the car door behind me, looking left and right, making sure I am safe before I enter the building, I avoid the elevator as Rachel warned me before, using the stairs I find my way back to the apartment door. “Who is that??” A deep voice calls from inside the apartment after I knock heavily. I don’t reply, hearing footsteps as the door pulls open revealing Dave’s roommate. “I want to see Dave” I raise a brow at him, this time filled with much more confidence and boldness. “He is not here” he squeaks out trying to shut the door “What do you mean by he is not here? You lied the last time, why should I believe you now?” I raise a brow at him anger on my face “He is not here Mam, I swear,” he backs up trying to shut the door in my face again but I hold the door with my hand My narrowed eyes meets
