The Don's bargain 67
Safe to say that I was constantly getting lost in Stefano as the days passes by. I've decided to let myself feel all what my heart is letting me feel.“My fiesty fire.” I heard Stefanos's warm voice before catching a glimpse of his reflection through the vanity mirror in front of me.I paused wearing my earrings, tilting my head to his direction. “Baby, you look excited.” “Oh well I am.” He crouched, placing a soft kiss on my lips. I loved the warmth of his lips.“Hmm.” I moaned and then pulled away the moment he held my waist. “Look, you have to stop.” I chuckled.“Apologies.” He raised his hands in mock surrender, a soft smirk playing on his lips. “I know you have a function.” Tomasso's mother's bar was opening today, and right from when he told me about his idea, I promised to show up at the launch and support his plans. I had spoken to Stefano about it and he was happy that I was going. I knew there was hardly a way he'd show up because he didn't like being involved in anything

After a heavy pause, he rose slowly. “Come with me. I want to talk somewhere private. There’s something I need to show you that might help you understand.”Reluctantly, Bella followed him down the silent hallway until they reached the bedroom. Standing close, Stefano began in a low, measured voice, “I want to explain how I feel. I understand your worry and anger, but I want you to know I would never purposely harm anyone or make someone disappear out of jealousy.”Her eyes searched his face. “Then why didn’t you tell me that Tomaso was on an errand? Why was I left guessing?”He stepped forward. “Sometimes, I thought you didn’t need to know every detail. I believed that leaving some things unsaid would protect you from the harsh parts of our life.”Her eyes filled with unshed tears as she replied, “I may not be part of that world completely, but I’m your wife. I deserve to know what happens, especially when it concerns someone I care about.”Taking her hand in his, he continued, “I se

I didn't know if she heard me but she continued sucking my dick not until I pulled her head away.“Why did you?” She looked at me lustfully before looking at my engorged disk and pointed towards it.“That's beautiful I'm going to come soon and I have to fuck you.”I saw her swallow visibly and I loved the sound of that. “Okay.” I lifted her up and I held her tightly making sure her pussy was coming in contact with my disk as I kissed her and whispered dirty things into her ears“Oh,” she moaned against my lips and when I moved the kisses to her neck, she whispered under her breath. “You're going to kill me…”“Do you like this?” I asked as I dryhumped her and bit her neck, leaving hickeys all over.“Yes.” She moaned. I was tired of fucking her with her clothes on, we have to get down to business.Soon we got down to his business as I swung her arond such that her back was in front. I raised her gown up to her stomach length and slapped her ass twice, making it red and eliciting cries

Before heading home, I stopped at the hospital to have a conversation with doctor John about needing a nurse who could help with support for a patient who neeeded attention at home. He was delighted to help as he asked about Bella’s welfare.After the conversation he recommended a nurse who was slightly above Bella's height and looked petite like her. She said her name was Karen.After a brief conversation on Tomasso condition she said she knew what to do and we spoke to some extent. Later that day as we drove home, I felt a sense of foreboding, my instincts kept telling me that it was all wrong decision and it would harm more harm to me and Bella's already fractured relationship.When the door opened, Bella and Tomasso were sitted at the sitting room. With his fractured arm, he groaned and Bella rushed towards him. They didn't even notice that I had entered the house. She was so caught up in her affection for him, you see that was the thing that literally made me angry at him and her

Soon the representatives from the Richardsons and Son arrived, Matteo and I glared at each other silently telling ourselves we could do this.We offered them their seats as Matteo and I sat next to each other.They started by handing us their business proposal and a quick glance at it really impressed me. I handed the document over to Matteo to check it out and tell me what he thought but he simply stared at me mirroring my expression.“I think we would work with this.” I announced to them and they looked at each other with a look of happiness on their face.“But don't get too excited,” at the sound of my voice, their smiles faded. “We'll go on a trial first, if the first few months are favourable then we could go on fully witn the process of merging both companies.” I announced and they nodded their heads.“Thank you Mr Carlo, we truly appreciate the fact that you saw a vision in us.” The woman with a soft firm voice dressed in neat attire spoke.“Your pitch was great, so yeah.” Mat

Stefanos's POVI still didn't understand why Bella was so interested in Tomasso. What was so special about him that she'd rather spend with him than me?I had never seen Bella to eager to skip work than she was for Tomasso.Look at how her bright eyes flew open in shock when she he was shot, look at she pushed me, ignored me, just so she could get a glimpse of Tomasso's wound.The care in her eyes was so evident, and she didn't bother to ask if I was fine. I mean, I literally brought him home. She didn't care if something may have happened to me. All her focus was just on Tomasso, even when I tried to hint on the fact that I was feeling slighted…she looked at me as though I was speaking gibberish.I won't be surprised if she cursed at me tonight for bringing in another nurse for Tomasso but I didn't care, I would do anything to make sure my wife still remains my wife.I knew all of this was stupid. Somewhere in my heart, I knew Bella didn't see Tomasso more than her guard or maybe br

Thankfully Tomasso opened his eyes.I jerked awake when I saw his eyes opening slightly. I instinctively washed the sleep aways from my eyes as soon as I saw the movement in his body.A sense of relief washed over me as I moved from the couch to the bed.I sat on the bed, placing my palm over his forehead. “Hey,” I called out softly.“Bella.” He managed to say as he attempted lifting his body.I caught him halfway. “No no. You can lay down. You're still suffering from pain. Maybe after a while we could take you to the hospital for a proper check up…”“How long did I sleep? And why am I in another room?” He asked, attempting to scan around the environment. He still wasn't getting it yet — he couldn't afford to stress himself. I guess his body was trying to get guessed to the fact that he had to stay calm. That was the life he was used to, he was caught up in that busy life where he had series of things to do each day.Now he had to rest.“I didn't keep track of the time because I slept

Bella’s POVThe morning sunlight reflected through the mansion windows, casting a warm glow over the marble floors. The house was totally quiet and way more calm than usual.My father stood by the front door, an unreadable expression on his face.“I should be back soon,” he said, adjusting his coat. “You sure you’ll be okay?”I nodded, forcing a small smile on my face. “I should be asking you that.”His lips pressed into a thin line. “I know I messed up last night and I ask for your forgiveness.”I looked away as if he was saying trash to me. I wasn’t ready to revisit that conversation or remember those promise's he broke. “Just take care of yourself, Dad.”He sighed, then stepped forward, pulling me into a tight hug.“I love you, Bella,” he murmured.I closed my eyes. “I love you too, dad.”After the hug he waved good bye.With my father already out of the house and Stefano still out handling business, boredom settled over me.I wandered aimlessly through the mansion until I found my

Stefano’s POVBella father sat stiffly in one of the guest rooms, with a face that reveals anything.I stood near the door, arms crossed, watching him. Bella sat on the edge of the bed beside him, her hand gripping his like a lifeline.I didn’t trust him.I didn’t say it outright, but my silence was enough to show things for myself. Bella must have sensed it because she turned to me with that fierce look she always had when she was determined.“He’s my father, Stefano,” she said firmly. “I can’t abandon him or chase him out.”I exhaled, rubbing a hand over my face showing my inner character. “I’m not saying throw him out, Bella. But I don’t trust him.”Her fingers tightened around him. “He has nowhere else to go expect her.”I met her father's eyes. He flinched slightly but held my look.“That’s convenient, isn’t it?” I said coldly, without evening giving a welcoming look.Bella’s grip on my wrist stopped me from stepping closer. “Stefano, please. Not now.”I clenched my jaw. “Fine.”

BellaBy now I should have been tying the knot with the love of my life, but life has other plans. Plans that led me farther away from my wishes. Just a few months ago, Robin was diagnosed with cancer, which worsened afterwards. It seemed like the pronouncement gave the cancer the right to manifest aggressively. Each time I thought about my boyfriend, my chest ached even more because, as a medical practitioner, I was powerless in the situation.During my break, I decided to check in on Robin in the next ward. Having finished his first lap of the chemotherapy session, he was still under monitoring. Although he didn't have enough strength to talk for now, I enjoyed talking to him. I pushed through the door, and my lips started to spread into a smile."Hey, baby—" I started to say as I closed the door behind me, but my lips shut halfway. My brows furrowed, and then my eyes started to scan around the empty room. Slowly at first, then desperately in search of my boyfriend. Maybe he had be...
