"Do you like him?" Emilia asked walking around her sister.
"yes, off course I do" she blushed, bellissima had just returned home and her sister had run to her to get the most information she could possibly get.
"And what does he look like?" her eyes widened, hands rubbing against each other
"very attractive and very tall"
"Ooh" Emilia squealed at her beloved sister "I love him already"
"You haven't even seen him yet"
"Does that matter!" she exclaimed moving from side to side "you love him?" Emilia came again waiting patiently for her sister to say so
"no I don't think so"
"Jesus why?" the girl excalimed quite pained.
"Emilia that's not how it works, but I do like him, I really do like him"
However, at this point, it didn't really matter to Emilia, she just loved seeing her sister happy and couldn't wait to see the man she believed to be her so called Prince charming.
"Is he your Prince charming?" Emilia asked.
"No, not yet"
"Your knight in shining armour?" Her sisters eyes widened, hands rubbing against each other.
"Emilia!" Bellissima exclaimed.
"What, I'm just curious?!"
Even though Bella had experienced such a sweet encounter with her fiancee she still feared their union because she believed men will throw facades, lie and make false promises just to trick you into believing they are the perfect one for you, so she decided to calm down and not rush the process.
So she wondered if that was the same act Dominico had been putting on. The thing she hated the most about all of these was the fact that you couldn't tell what exactly was going on, you could only pray and assume what you wish to, but you'd be unable to tell whatever is going on at the moment.
"I pray he feels the same way you feel for him" Emilia smiled at her sister picking up her hands.
"I hope so too"
The two talked for some more time before Emilia left her sister alone to think and access herself.
---------------
"Bellissima!" her father shouted as she sat still in her thoughts, he banged open the door to her room barging in.
Once they had returned, she had walked straight to her room closing the door after words not giving either of her parents room to speak to her, the man walked up to her hastily and before she could say anything his hands went hard across her face
"do not repeat that ever again" Dante spoke calmly, leaving afterwards.
Bellissima walked to the mirror and turned her face slightly, it was red and swollen, luckily he had not bruised her or left fingerprints, still it hurt her so much that she fell and cried.
She had already been feeling terrible, but this act from her father made her feel worse, she would have shut up, never said nothing, it was uncalled for, why had she not thought of this before she spoke, thought of the repercussion, the consequences, did she think her father was different, she forgot how cold and wicked he was.
"Stupid girl" she spoke quietly to herself "stupid, stupid girl" as she talked to herself, she slapped her thighs hard, still crying, "you're so stupid bellissima" she cried the more still slapping her thighs vigorously
"stop it!" Emilia exclaimed moving to her, she put her hands over hers and brought her forward for a hug, even as bellissima could not find it easy to wrap her arms around her younger sister, she felt loved and enough with the feeling of Emilia's arms around her.
--------------
"Honey you have to get something to eat" Alice spoke sweetly to her daughter.
"Dante will send me away" Bella had personally refused to go down for dinner that her mother had come to speak to her herself
"you cannot address him that way, bellissima he is your father"
"he's not acting like one!" she's snapped and regretted afterwards
"I'm sorry"
"are you that pained about your marriage?" Her mother asked and she said nothing, not because she didn't have any words but she didn't know what to say or how to feel.
Bella had always been among the few that always planned their life out, she'd arrange herself and put together everything she wanted to achieve the year, marriage was definitely not among. There were so many things she desired to achieve before getting married, a lot of programs she wished to attend, prepare herself physically and mentally for the occasion, but now she wasn't able to, she wasn't strong enough to go to through the troubles that one faced in a relationship.
while she grew, she had never been engaged in any activity with a boy or a man, not just because no one came around, she personally didn't wish to. She saved herself, kept her body, mind and soul for a certain man, now to say she was heartbroken at the moment will be an exaggeration, but she felt really bad that she was not even close to the man's expectations.
"No, I'm not" Bella finally replied her mother going through her phone, her mother heaved, walking towards her but ensuring to keep her distance.
"you're happy about this right?" bellissima spoke again observing her mother.
"if I said no, I'd be lying"
Bella rolled her eyes, looking back at her phone, to Alice, seeing her daughter in such condition did not trouble her that much because this was life, things happen, she just wanted the best for her child and she believed this to be it.
"You'd be alright Bella, this is a very good decision, trust me, I am your mother"
"Trust you?" bella chuckled "please do not ever say that again to me or any one of your children"
Alice stared at her child saying nothing
"How can I trust you, how can any of us do so?!" she exclaimed "do you even trust yourself?"
"This is not about me Bella" the woman managed to speak.
"yes it is about you Mum, every single bit of it!" Bella inhaled "if you are able to trust in yourself, you'd make the right decisions for us, you would realise that speaking up for us is a necessity, not even realise that alone, thinking about it
"I think about it everyday Bellissima, you would not understand"
"Right"
Bella eyed her mother paying no attention to her.
"I just need you to eat, you'd be going to visit Dominico again, you have to look well.
"You don't even care about me do you?"
"Off course I do"
"No, no, Mum, you don't!" bella snapped "you do not, you care about how I look"
Her mother scoffed "no I...."
"Oh, bellissima" bella began speaking in her mother's tone, trying to impersonate her "you will look unwell, whatever will your fiancee say, Bella apply more this, apply more that" she chuckled looking at her mother and Alice shut her eyes knowing what was to come next
"Let me freaking bother about it!" Bella yelled "it is my body, it is my life!" her mother moved back a little, letting her daughter rant, she knew Bella would regret everything she had said the next morning and she wanted that thus she let her daughter keep screaming and yelling, still standing before her and taking in everything.
----------------
"You need to wake up Bella" Alice whisphered to her daughter tapping her lightly
"why?"
"you have to leave this morning for dominico's place"
At the mention of his name, her eyes went open.
"Oh" she smiled sweetly at her mother "what's the time ma?"
"Some minutes past nine"
"I'm so late" she groaned rubbing her face with her palms
"yes you are, so please get up"
Alice stretched forth her hand for her beautiful daughter to take it, you're lucky I wasn't awake all night, I would have look so terrible
"Glad then" she smiled
"I'm sorry Mum" Bella began "I shouldn't have spoken to you in that manner yesterday and I regret every bit of what I said"
"I know you would"
"I really mean it ma, you did not deserve those harsh words from me"
"I know, I know, now please get up and get ready" she blushed at her child and bella felt a wave of butterflies fill her stomach, it wasn't just Dominico that caused that effect upon the girl, her mother did and Emilia sometimes, whenever they say beautiful things to her or made sweet gestures.
These two women will forever have a place in her heart
"Good morning my queen" Emilia said walking in majestically.
"Your queen?" Bella chuckled and her sister nodded
" I'm so sorry about yesterday" she frowned
"its nothing, I'm fine"
" how do I look?" bellissima turned to face her younger sister
"is mother not helping you today?"
" no, I told her not to, I can get ready myself"
"I would like to see that"
"Besides..." Bella paused "Im about to be a wife soon and then a mother, ma would not always be there"
"That makes sense" her sister nodded.
Unknown to Emilia , she had a different plan in mind

"Don't fucking touch me!" She yelled moving farther away from him"you're so fucked up you know that right?" Her eyes were wet with tears as she approached him, putting all her anger in the long strides she made towards him"you've put me through as much emotion as one can feel!" she exclaimed, hitting his chest with the much energy she could gather, her fists pounding on his biceps one after the other vigorously.The man she stood before stared at her saying nothing, his eyes clouded with sadness, worry and regret.Not pity, never pity."I hate you!" she screamed finally letting her tears drop and moving away gradually."No you don't" his voice was soft, calm, sweet yet it managed to infuriate her even more"Yes I do, you can't tell me how to fucking feel!" she moved to him, pumelling mercilessly on his chest once moreAnd just like before the man stood still watching her closely until she broke down before h
"Can you two stop fighting" Rosa yelled at the twins."Funny of you to say that" Bella spoke, turning back to face the mirror, dressing her hair and filling it with artificial flowers.To bella, it was weird to have Rosa around, she was married but her father still found some way to control her actions"You're literally making a mess" Emilia yelled at her twin sister"that's because you do not respect my privacy!"" what privacy?!" They all turned to Elisa and giggled.In all honesty, in the cassato household, there was no privacy, none at all.Yes they had separate bedrooms, but were made to gather together in a large room every evening to Talk, Talk About Nothing"oh my goodness!!" Eisa snapped "can you all stay away"" I'm just saying" Bella came again "you know so well, there is no

He respected the woman so much and only considered her opinion when making decisions.One would think that the man was very worried that he had one heir.Honestly, Lorenzo didn't mind, he had his nephews all fit, and truth be told if anything ever happened to the Beloved Dominico, Angelo was there, Giago after, carlo next, the man had
"Do I look pretty enough" Bellissima asked her immediate younger sister"you always look pretty Bella" Emilia said smiling at herShe gave her sister a small smile and turned to face her"I think everything is just moving too fast""I know" Emilia sighed sitting besides her sister." I'm not ready to get married" she began "I'm not even ready to make babies"Emilia chuckled "I know that too but you could always prepare yourself"she patted her sister lightly."to make babies?""Oh god, no, not that" Emilia laughed causing her sister to laugh as well"To get married, I heard Dominico is quite handsome" she held her sisters hands."So did I""Thank goodness, at least you're way better than Renata or Rosa"
As they drove in, Bella stared around in awe, they had not exaggerated when they had said the Del Gato compound was majestically built, because it was indeed, tall, very tall palm trees filled the area and a waterfall in it's midst. Bella stared around in amazement, her lips ajar. The car halted and she inhaled for a while ready to meet her Mr Man, her mother gave her a small kiss on the cheeks afterwards. "Dante Cassato himself" a thick masculine voice exclaimed. Bella turned to see the almighty Lorenzo walking majestically down the stairs, clapping. Her father walked towards him and they chuckled before grasping themselves "and where is my daughter-in-law?" he asked grinning from ear-to-ear. Dante pushed his daughter forward and Bella walked carefully to him
The couple had been talking for about an hour smiling sheepishly and laughing heartily. Bellissima found him to be extremely sweet and could see herself spending the rest of her life with the man "I thought you to be rude" she answered when he had asked what she had imagined of him. "why?" "men usually are" "you think I'm handsome?" he raised his brows at her "you know you are" The man looked at her for a long time then forced himself to look away she was attractive, very attractive. Bella wanted to ask what the man thought of her, if he had thought her to be beautiful, but she restricted herself from doing so, that would be very embarrassing if he said no "tell me about someone you love the most" "Hmm, tough one" she pretended to think and he looked away holdin
