He started walking with her in the corner of the hall while everyone ran to check upon Zia in concern. Isabella was sobbing at his chest and he started caressing her hair softly trying to calm her down. When it didn't work he wrapped both of his arms around her and started swaying her gently feeling the baby bump against his torso. "I'm sorry Bella, please don't cry." he apologized to her softly and she realized in which position they were so she immediately pushed him away or more like he backed away from her feeling her resistance. "Why are you like this? Why can't you stop your anger? You can literally kill anyone like their lives are nothing to you." Isabella said frustratingly punching at his chest but he didn't stop her from doing so. "I can't, Bella. I can't. I tried and I'm still trying but she abused you and I will not take a shit about you. If she had said anything to me I would have taken it but not about you." Nicholas said through his gritted teeth but his eyes showed
Isabella was feeling so restless since yesterday's event. She was stunned to see Nicholas keeping all of his self esteem and mafia boss aura side and ready to do what she asked him to. She couldn't believe he agreed to do that without thinking twice. He never bowed before her but on her command he agreed to do the cheapest thing in front of the whole guests and media not caring they will make mountain of a molehill and show the news on all news channels. She still couldn't comprehend why he even got ready to do that at first place. Did he really want a second chance that badly? She could see his efforts and change in him. He doesn't behave like a dominating, self centered bastard anymore but a love sick puppy waiting for their spouse's order. She wanted to give him a chance too but her heart was afraid of getting hurt by him again.Currently it was night and she was getting ready Neel's cousin's wedding. He has already given her and Camilla their respective dresses for the night. Whe
They both settled inside the car and Nicholas started driving. An awkward silence was there in the car. Nicholas wanted her to speak something but he knew if he will ask or say to her anything she will not like it so he chose to stay quiet while Isabella was glancing at him time to time. Nicholas could sense her constant gaze on him but he chose to keep his mouth shut. Isabella was looking at him in dilemma and wanted to ask so many questions to him but didn't know how to ask them. She wanted to know how badly he wants a second chance if he will get a second chance then what's the surety that he will be good after it too. "Why did you do that yesterday?" Isabella finally asked him after contemplating whether to ask him or not. "Do what?" Nicholas asked her amusingly because he didn't expect her to initiate the conversation first. "You almost killed her yesterday. She didn't say anything which would anger you this much." Isabella said lowly playing with the hem of her scarf. Hearin
He started feeling suffocated as if someone had put a lot of weight on his chest so he sat inside his car and drove off from there with a heavy heart. He was driving rashly not able to erase the image of Neel's hand on the small of her back. Now, it was becoming too much exhausting and painful for him. He stopped the car at road side breathing heavily and punched the steering wheel.He came out of the car and threw his tuxedo away. Opening the buttons of his shirt he fell on his knees and lay there on the empty road trying to calm the pain down in his chest. He closed his eyes and again the same image of Neel's hand on the small of her back played like a tap recorder in front of his eyes but he helplessly laid there. On the other hand, Neel took her inside the venue and she saw groom and bride were already present in the pavilion. She shot an apologetic look to Neel for being late while his eyes were already narrowed at her but seeing her cute face a smile broke out at his face and h
"So now tell me Ms. Aurora, what was going on yesterday in that inauguration ceremony?" Camilla asked her folding her hands on her chest while Neel also looked at Isabella curiously. She sighed because she knew she can't lie to them anymore. "I know I should have told you all this before but I didn't want you to be in any problem so I chose to stay quiet." She said and looking at her feet nervously. "Yes, you are our friend and we have rights to know what's going on in your life and who's that man to you. He was asking about you in the University too." Camilla said and Isabella was stunned to hear her because she didn't know Camilla recognized him already. "I-uh I lied to both of you. I'm not any Aurora Valenti but Isabella Campbell. I'm from New York and was abducted and sold to that man you are telling about. I'm living with him for almost half an year now. I ran away from his mansion and disguised myself as Aurora to hide from him and I can't tell you anymore." She told them whi
In a very dark room dim lights were illuminated and few people were present in that room. By their get up and looks it seemed like they were a group of people work for each other and were in a very serious discussion with the each passing second of that night. A male sat their on a chair in front of a feminine figure.Her head was bowed down in shame and respect while the male looked so angry yet disappointed in that woman standing in front of him. His narrowed eyes were cascaded on her and all he could do was to scold her because hurting her was not even in the options. "Ты меня действительно подвела, Зия, я не ожидала от тебя этого." the man said in his thick Russian accent and his gaze was at the woman in front of him. (Translation: You have really failed me Zia, I didn't expect this from you.)"Прости, брат, я не хотел." the woman who was none other than Zia said to that man. (Translation: I'm sorry brother I didn't mean to.)"Чего ты не хотел? Ха?! Я дал тебе одно простое зада
Isabella was running out of the venue behind Nicholas while he was already out of it with some long strides. He felt like he couldn't breath again. When he laid on the road for straight two hours and his breathing was normal so he decided to straighten up his clothes and went back to pick her up from the venue. When he reached the venue at her told time but he didn't find her so he decided to wait for her outside. He kept waiting for her for at least twenty minutes and then he started to get worried about her and decided to enter inside to look for her. He entered inside and saw many people and women eyeing him but he ignored everyone and kept walking. When he was about to look around his feet halted at his place. His form frozen when he saw Neel hugging her and fists balled. He felt the suffocating feeling creeping back to his chest. Then he saw him kissing her cheeks and forehead which made him understand that she really loves him and doesn't need him.When his amber gaze met with
"Do you feel it Bella? Without you this heart is fucking incomplete. When my eyes see you with anyone else it starts beating at an abnormal pace. I feel like I can't breath and someone is suffocating me till my death. If I keep seeing you like this with any other man that is not me then I will die Bella. I will die." He said which made a swirl of emotions in Isabella's inside.Her stomach churned hearing him and her chin started to wobble at the mention of his death. She couldn't even imagine it in her dreams. No matter how bad and worst things he had done to her, she can't imagine his death. Somehow she always wanted to see him in front of her eyes."Please don't say like this." She let out slowly and a broken sob escaped her throat. Nicholas whipped his head at her and saw tears glistening in her hazel eyes."What happened Bella? Why are you crying? Did my words offended you? I'm sorry Bella, please don't cry." He said feeling vulnerable as usual seeing tears in her eyes."No just d
