6. Excited!

Author's POV

Bella clutched on her seatbelt tightly as Alexander started driving the car very roughly. 

She looked at him scared but couldn't say anything. She has no idea how to handle this situation. She can understand that Alexander is angry because Amanda agreed for that photoshoot, offcourse he is worried about his reputation. But she doesn't want to get punished for Amanda's mistakes. 

'Think something Bella... Otherwise you are fucking dead.'

She panicked. 

She saw huge Mansion coming to her view. Her eyes widened at the site. Huge garden came to the view when his car entered through huge metal gate. There was a huge fountain which was looking like a mini waterfall. 

Her thoughts got broken when she got roughly pulled by her hair.

"Ahh..."

She screamed trying to push him away but Alexander dragged her inside. 

Bella stumbled forward when he pushed her roughly in the living room. 

"Fuck"

She cursed when she almost tripped due to high heels. 

She turned around madly but her expressions turned horrified when she saw him loading his gun. 

"You had one job... I told you, do anything you want, fuck whoever you want but don't ruin my reputation... Can't you understand this one fucking simple thing."

He growled.

"Enough is enough now... I am fed up of you."

He stepped forward and she stepped back. 

Bella shook her head furiously.

"Marino's don't kill family"

She mumbled.

Alexander scoffed.

"You think you are my family?... Have you ever tried to become one... You are no one to me..."

Her heart sunk in her chest as he stormed towards her. He pointed gun at her but she grabbed his hand. 

Alexander's body filled with goosebumps when her cold hands touched his warm body. He has touched Amanda only once but this time her touch felt different. It wasn't this weird or different. 

He stopped and looked at her glossy eyes, this is the first time he is watching her cry. Arrogant woman like Amanda never really cry atleast he haven't witnessed it yet. 

"Leave my hand"

He gritted.

"You will kill me"

She replied looking at him.

"You deserve it"

He replied madly.

"No! Because I haven't signed the contract... Yes i agreed to do the photoshoot but trust me i had no idea that they were talking about nude photoshoot... I swear, i had no idea..."

She lied.

"Why would I do something which will get me in the problem"

Alexander jerked his hand back from her hold and that foreign feeling disappeared. 

He rubbed his forehead with tip of his gun and sighed. He really can't hurt her because she is family, it's against their rules. 

"Infact, I am leaving modeling"

She declared and his eyes snapped towards her.

"What did you say?"

He frowned looking at her confused. 

"I am quitting... I don't want to do modelling anymore"

She replied hoping he will believe her. Bella doesn't really know anything about modeling, she is lying so she doesn't have to deal with it till she is there. 

"And why is that?"

Alexander scowled at her. 

"Because your reputation matters to me... I have realised my mistakes. You must have suffered because of me."

She tried to act innocent. 

Alexander looked at her weirdly, he leaned forward and sniffed her to see if she is drunk. 

"Did you hit your head somewhere?"

He asked and she smiled awkwardly. 

"Whatever it is, if you create any problems for me then no one can save you."

He warned and walked away. 

Bella sighed in relief as she managed to survive for now. 

After roaming around the mansion aimlessly Bella finally found the maid who is supposed to help her in this mansion, around these people and to keep eye on Bella, Valentino has hired her.

"They don't share a bedroom?"

Bella asked amused.

"No, boss doesn't like sharing his room with madam Amanda..."

She replied and led her towards Amanda's room. 

Bella nodded.

"Bitch must be annoying."

She said and maid glared at her.

"Hey, don't give me that look... I am your madam for now..."

Bella mocked and she sighed. 

"Okay, so how long you are working for these people?"

Bella questioned.

"For two years..."

She replied.

"Is there anyone i should be scared of..."

Bella asked.

"Everyone!"

Maid replied.

"Specially Boss himself..."

Bella gulped.

"So there is no one who can save me from your boss?!"

"His mother can save you but after Amanda's behavior, I doubt she will be interesting in you. Afterall you are Amanda now."

Maid shrugged.

"This is Amanda's room..."

She said and left. 

Bella entered the room with amused eyes, it was huge. Bigger than her whole house. 

"Oh my god!"

She looked at in awe. 

"It's like a movie... Wow!"

She looked around excitingly, it has huge chandelier and beautiful paintings. Big balcony and beautiful classy bathroom. Which is bigger than her room back in her house. 

"Yeah!"

She screamed in excitement when she saw bathtub. 

She quickly stripped and went for a bubble bath. 

She jumped in the water like a excited kid. 

"This is so good, I am going to give Jasmine all of this... She will be so happy"

She said happily. 

She curiously tested essential oils and body wash. After taking relaxing bath she wore a fluffy robe and went to the closet. 

"Fuck me"

Her eyes widened when she looked at Amanda's designer clothes. It was filled with only expensive brands. 

She has more clothes than Bella has ever seen her life. 

Bella started looking for something to wear, she was being careful not to ruin her expensive clothes. She doesn't like using othe people's things but here she has no choice. 

She scrunched her nose when she didn't find anything decent to wear. Amanda has all sexy night suits. Even her dresses are revealing and Bella is not comfortable in that at least not between these stranger people. 

She finally grabbed gym shorts and tank top and wore it for the bed. 

Bella laid on the bed and sighed in pleasure. 

"It's softer than silk... Why this world is so unfair... Here some people can't even get one meal properly and these criminals are living in heaven... Why God?"

She complained. 

Bella tried to sleep but her stomach growled in hunger. She haven't eaten anything since afternoon. She drank water and went back to the bed, she has learnt how to sleep on empty stomach. Her father used to starve her sometimes as a punishment so this is not a new thing for her. 

"This will change our lives, i promise you Jasmine... Just few more days, wait for me."

Bella mumbled and fell asleep. 

She woke up in the morning and after freshing up she dashed downstairs towards the kitchen. Her stomach was growling with hunger. 

Bella entered the kitchen and saw basket of berries on the counter, she grinned like a greedy child. She grabbed fistful berries and stuffed her mouth. Maids were busy in their words so no one was paying attention to her. 

"Amanda?"

Bella gasped and quickly turned around when she heard powerful feminine voice. 

"Mother in law!?"

Bella mumbled mouth full of berries.
