Bella POV:Waking up to Noah's pleading and air getting puffed into my body I gasp and I puke out water. Coughing I try to grasp what happened. Hearing the sound of seagulls and waves crashing I open my eyes and beautiful grey eyes stare back at me with so much worry"Noah" I whisper. He brings my body close to him and he plants a kiss on my forehead"Thank God your alive Bell, your alive you're here," he says rocking me. My head is pressed against his wet clothed chest but his body heat is keeping me warm"What happened" I croak and he sniffles pulling me away from him so his looking at me. He removes strands of hair from my face and I sigh at how caring he seems right now"We thought you died. You fell off the cliff" he whispers in disbelief and it all comes flashing back to me. I jumped to save-"Where's Daniel," I ask, and Noah sighs."I'm not sure I kinda just jumped after you," he says with a sheepish smile on his face. My eyes widen and I sit up"Why would you do that" I yell a
Bella POV:"Shit Noah call a doctor to come to check on Bella's head. She shouldn't still be bleeding" Clyde says and I snuggle closer to him. "Do me a favor Bell and don't sleep" Clyde whispers in my ear and I nod. Noah starts dialing people's numbers and I smile at his rusty Italian. Maybe I hit my head too hard but I feel at home with these two. They are my friends and I love them both. I almost died today and I'm busy throwing the word I love around like free candy"Okay the doctor is on his way," Noah says sitting down next to me."Food" I whisper and Noah chuckles"Okay, I'll go make some," Clyde says patting my back. He gets up and I sigh at the loss of comfort"Come let me run you a bath," Noah says standing up and I sigh raising my hands for him to pick me up again"So this is the real Bell a big softie," Noah says and I slap his chest."You're lucky I'm feeling loopy," I say placing my hand on his cheek. "Hey Noah you have soft lips," I say poking his lips. He also has nice
Daniel POV:Feeling a soft hand gripping my hand tightly I shift awake. I start hearing the beeping noise and my eyes open. I take in the bright lights of the hospital room and the strong sanitizer smell. Looking at the person next to me I caress their brown hair and they stir awake"Oh my god Daniel are you okay," Nina says her worried eyes scanning me. Nina. What's Nina doing here? I try to sit up and she practically shoves me back down"The fuck" I say and she apologies"I'm sorry your body is still weak and besides you should be resting," Nina says fluffing my pillow"Okay, how long have I been out," I ask and she stops fluffing the pillow. She sits back down and clutches my hand again but with both hands. I look at our intertwined hands and then I look back up at the ceiling"2 days," she says and I nod"Wait and you've been here the whole time," I ask turning to her and she shrugs"What nobody should die alone," she says and I cork my eyebrow at her"You stayed because you feare
Daniel POV: "Is this goodbye?"I ask her and she shakes her head"No, but I realized that this isn't our story Daniel. I needed you to be the person that I am today and I thank you for that. You'll always be someone I care about" she says smiling at me with so much emotion in her eyes"I really did mean to love you, Bella," I say. This conversation has suddenly made my mood drop to 0"I know," she says with a half smile"Are you happy with?" I ask nodding my head toward the door. I don't know what's happening with Bella but we barely talked these couple of weeks. I just figured we were busy but no we were drifting apart"Yeah uhm, I am. They are just my friends though" she says slightly blushing"They? I just meant Noah" I say corking my eyebrow at her. A smirk spreads across my face and she shoves my arm with a light giggle. "We're still going to talk right," I ask my grip tightening on her hand"Of course Daniel of course" she whispers against our hands. She places our hands back o
Daniel POV:Today is a gloomy day and it's pouring heavily. We have all these made men standing in the rain in their black suits and women in their black dresses getting rained on to mourn our lost men and most importantly my best friendThe priest has said his general speech about losing loved one's and now his calling me up to talk. Walking up toward the priest I realize that I haven't even prepared a speech. Everyone looks at me as I walk down the line of people. I should have stood in the front with the other friends and family but I just can't watch Xavier being lowered into the ground in a damn box.Finally reaching the priest I thank him and I turn to the crowd. Well here goes nothing"We lost good men this week. We will all miss them dearly but there was one guy here who is/ was my best friend. I met Xavier at a boy's Catholic school. I was 9 and he was 10. He was older than me by 5 days and yet he was the big brother" I chuckle remembering all the fights we used to have becau
Nina POV:I don't know what's happening with Daniel but I'm looking at the random girl in the house who's crying hysterically. Sighing I shut the car door and I walk over to her. The car blares behind me and I ignore it"Hey uhm where are you from," I say walking over to her and she starts sniffling"Kansas," she says and I frown. What the fuck is she doing in Russia in the middle of the goddamn nowhere"You're a long way from home," I say and she continues to sob. Crouching down next to her she continues to cry. The door is slightly open and I get up. Walking into the house I take in the rustic barn vibe she has going in there. When I walk closer to the kitchen the smell of stew and rice is pretty thick.Two plates are set out and I turn back to look at her. Who is she living here with? Walking towards the small passage I start opening doors. One is a bathroom, the second one looks like a study. My curiosity takes the better of me and I start scanning the labels of the books on the b
Daniel POV:3 weeks laterWhy would anyone want to be a parent? This is absolute shit. Do you know how many times I woke up last night 5 times? 5 times because she wouldn't stop crying it's like she knows that I don't like kids.After watching Amari grow in front of me and then die in front of me it messed me up. It's a part of my life I never want to talk about"Hey," Nina says snapping me out of my thoughts. Looking up she's leaning on my bedroom door frame"Hi," I say closing the website I was reading about how to be a good dad. Now leave me I only care because it's in my blood otherwise I don't want this. I really don't want this. Listen to me I don't"She's asleep," she says walking into my room and sitting on the edge of the bed. She shuffles herself into my sheets and I watch her hesitantly "Pillow please" she says getting comfortable"Uhm what are you doing," I say cautiously and she huffs facing me."Daniel I'm touched deprived" she whines. My eyes widen and blood rushes to m
Daniel POV: The shower door closes behind me and I hold my breath. Walking underneath the shower head I let the water wash away my nervousness. We aren't going to do anything. Let me just make small talk"You are the first person I've ever showered with," he says beating me to it. Okay well that sounds innocent"Yeah same but I have to warn you I'll hog the hot water," I say with a smile but his not smiling. His hand is moving so I look down and blink. I've never blinked so much in my life. Looking at his abs my eyes travel down to his v-line and there it is. Daniel's dick in all its glory. My knees go weak and I have this urge to go on my knees"Daniel," I say staring at his nice shade of pink tip. He hums and I swallow. "If we can't fuck can I at least suck you off? I heard that morning wood is painful and that it needs attention" I whisper. I'm not a bold person but around Daniel I am. It's weird"Don't tell me you've never sucked dick before" he asked with a grin. His hand starts
Nina POV:This is the part in the movie where the bride stands in front of a full-body mirror staring at herself in a dress that she likes, getting married to the love of her life. Happy tears brimmed in her eyes at the thought that she'd finally made it to the day her little herself always dreamed ofInstead, all I see is the dread of knowing this isn't the wedding of my dreams instead it's someone else's. A truce between mafias for my unborn child to take over one dayI don't think I'll ever get over the fact my father killed my mother because I wasn't a boy. I spent most of the night crying about it until the need for revenge roused upI'm still going to go through with this wedding and if the opportunity reveals itself I might just kill my fatherNone of this is how I dreamed my wedding to go but at least I have Daniel. At that, a smile makes it to my face.I guess I have one thing to thank my dad for even though I hate thinking about it but he's the reason Daniel and I's paths cr
Daniel POV:Sitting in Nina's dad's office I try my best to remain calm and not get involved as they speak but the more they speak the more I see how he doesn't even hide his distaste for Nina. It was one thing for him to tell me he wanted a son and was disappointed to get a daughter but to show her to her face is starting to piss me off"But dad this is my wedding I want Mom to be here," Nina says pleading her case and he just stares at her while smoking his cigar. Noticing her squirming in his gaze I squeeze her thigh to remind her to stand her ground"Mr. Takahashi if my wife wants her mother at this shitshow of a wedding that we both can't even have a say in the least you could do is allow her one wish, "I say meeting his glare with one of my own. He stares for about 3 seconds and then chuckles"I heard my daughter Mr. Peters but considering we both know why her mother can't be here is rather funny isn't it," he says and then it clicks. Nina turns to me and I know she noticed me s
Nina POV:Having the best sleep of my life I get stirred awake by murmurs and snickering"Nina" I hear someone say but I brush them off snuggling into the warm body next to me but it moves irritating me"Daniel stop moving" I mumble but someone says my name again. Opening my one eye I start seeing a bunch of old ladies I haven't seen since I was 18. Startled I sit up to find Daniel equally as shocked as me"Nina what's going on," Daniel says and I quickly grab the sheets to cover myself and him"No worry we see the bites on your neck know that hubby fuck good," one of my Aunties says and I turn bright red"Uhm Daniel these are my Aunties, Sakura, Aya, Ema, Himari, and Eiko, " I say pointing at each of them earning each to wave at him"Nice to meet you all," he says and I smile wishing for the world to swallow me whole right now"I never know you're into a white boy, Nina" Auntie Ema says and I groan hiding my face with the sheet"Of course she does. She ran to America and white boys l
Daniel POV:Grabbing the sheets on either side of me I try to keep from rubbing against the wet patch Nina gave me just to feel something wet right now as she sits up. She takes off her night dress leaving her in her little lace thong. She smiles at me but I'm busy focusing on her tits and every curve of her bodyShe grabs my sweatpants tugging them down until they bunch at my ankles. She crawls to me and then straddles me again this time her crotch area against me. I have to fight the urge to create friction but lucky for me she starts creating itShe grinds herself on me making it possible for me to feel her delicate-able wetness coat me through the fabric of her thong that I have to clench my jaw to calm myself down. She starts moaning and I can't tell whether the throbbing sensation I'm feeling is my dick or her pussy but fuck I'm about to lose it"Nina please," I say finally begging and she bites her lip looking at me. She continues to grind on me increasing the friction. We both
Daniel POV:Sliding a sleeping Nina off of me I step out of bed and sneak out of the bedroom and into the hallway.I head toward Dario's room and I open the door without knocking. He sits up abruptly covering himself and I quickly turn away not wanting to see something I don't want to see. I hear a moan and then a quiet snicker by the laptop in front of him and he quickly says bye to whoever it is before shutting it"What the hell I was just-"he growls but I cut him off"I don't need to know," I say trying to not visualize what could have happened if I arrived 2 minutes later"Knock for fuck sake man," he says angrily and I ignore him as I pace up and downI told Nina she could sleep even though she was reluctant about it but she needed to so I let her. As for me well I can't fucking sleep there too much going through my head right nowTo keep the soldiers who survived the fight as well as keep peace with all three mafia's Nina's father pushed for the wedding to be in two days. Don't
Nina POV: "Nice of you to arrive after the honeymoon suite," Dario says as we climb out of the water and walk toward him. Taking off our wet suits I grab my hair squeezing out excess water "I'm starting to think you fucking called him to begin with," I say to Dario as I walk closer to him. He scoffs then acknowledges Daniel with a nod "If there's one thing I'm not is a snitch. I saw Amigo climb on board and I just kept the information to myself" Dario says making Daniel chuckle. Well look at them being friends at my expense "Back to the situation at hand. 35 men are patrolling the grounds and 12 inside the house" Dario says and I grin "We have 60 so we got this in the bag," I say and he nods. We quietly make our way into the island with our guns drawn up. Dario signals for our soldiers to spread out and move forward. Inches into the thick Forrest the hairs on my arms and neck stand up. Then I hear something that makes my blood run cold "Nina what's wrong," Daniel whispers next t
Nina POV:We finally arrive at a port by the East China Sea. The men crack open the box crates and take out weapons loading them into the submarine"Are you sure the Chinese won't notify my dad?" I ask Dario and he chuckles"You know very well your dad hates them," he says and I sigh as if I could forget"Yeah, I guess well I' 'll be back I'm going to change let me know if anything pops up, "I say and he nods. He starts barking some orders at some guys and that's when I turn the corner into a hallway. When I reach my room I switch on the lights and I head into the bathroom. Peeling off my clothes I step into the shower and I close the shower door. Turning on the spray I instantly get sprayed with cold water before it slowly turns into my desired heatRinsing my hair and then my body I squeeze excess water out of my hair and I shut the spray. Stepping out I grab my towel and when I walk towards the door I realize my clothes aren't on the floor anymore. Drying my hair I reach under the
Nina POV:Making breakfast for Daniel I place the last batch of pancakes on a plate in front of him. His rambling on about something and all I can think about is the mission for tonight. So I nod where I feel is important and hum every time I need to agree with what he is saying"Chickens are blue," he says behind his newspaper and I hum taking the greasy pan to the sink. He drops the newspaper and he looks at me"You're not listening," he says and I hum once more. Why hasn't Dario texted me? Just at that exact time my phone dings and I rush towards it but Daniel beats me to it."Wait Daniel" I start to say when his face falls practically glaring at the text message"Why is Dario texting you that his ready for tonight? What the fuck is happening tonight" he hisses gripping my phone so hard that I'm pretty sure his meaning for it to break"Daniel nothing," I say taking off my apron and scrunching it up. Placing it on the counter I round the island and go to grab my phone from him."Now
Daniel POV:"Nina what's wrong," I ask and she shakes her head in denial. I don't know what's going on but she looks like she's on the verge of tears. Oh fuck what did I do now?"Where were you" she whispers wrapping her arms around herself like it's the only thing keeping her up right now. I rub my neck and I curse myself fuck. I step towards her and she stops me"No" she yells with her hand in front of her pointing at me accusingly"Nina calm down" I state and tears start to fall down her cheeks"No, Daniel where were you" she yells even louder now. I look upstairs making sure that Thalia isn't up there to hear her parents fight"I was getting you something if you just let me go to the car I'll –"Who is she Daniel" she screams and now I go towards her. Grabbing her face I pull her towards me and I kiss her. She's pushing and shoving away from me but I continue to kiss her with every ounce of love I have for her hoping she can feel it.Her punches start to weaken and she kisses me b
