I stared at Stefano lying on the floor. "Hey, this may hurt a little," I spoke, trying my best to adopt a professional tone. Stefano groaned softly, his lips curving into a faint, almost bitter smirk as he muttered, "Wouldn’t be the first time you’ve hurt me, Bella." ** Forced to clear her sick father's debt to the italian Mafia and pay her father hospital bills, the 23-year-old nurse is forced to accept risky jobs like treating criminals in the dead of the night. On the day Bella Smith learns of the shocking news that her bedridden boyfriend, Robin, has been transferred to another hospital outside the country, she is heartbroken and decides to go for a drink. But when Bella is asked to treat a handsome stranger at the hotel room, she finds out the stranger is her ex-boyfriend from high school and now he wouldn't let her go. Stefano Carlo gets everything he wants, now he wants to make Bella suffer from leaving him in the past, but as they navigate a contract marriage, they find themselves rekindling old feelings and threading through the dark underworld of the mafia.

The Don's bargain 151
BELLABella found the safehouse just before sunrise. Tucked behind a row of abandoned apartments, it was barely more than four concrete walls, a creaky door, and a mattress on the floor, but it was a shelter. She stepped inside, her clothes damp with sweat and fear, and let the door fall shut behind her. The silence that followed felt like relief.Her limbs trembled. It wasn’t just exhaustion. It was the pressure building from within, the weight of what she had to do. Bella curled into a corner, pressing her forehead to her knees. Her breathing slowed. The pain was familiar now. So was the guilt. But beneath the exhaustion, something else stirred: purpose. A quiet, burning resolve. She’d promised to come back. To make things right. To finish what she had once tried to burn.Two days passed.She stayed low. Changed the SIM card on her burner phone. Ate very little. Slept even less. Her mind stayed busy, haunted. On the third morning, a message came through. It was Amelia."Lisa finally

A coy smile played on his lips the moment he said those words and I could tell that he was having the best moment of his life. I didn't say anything yet because I wanted to hear what Stefano had to say about his estranged brother. I wanted to know whether he believed he was at fault with their relationship or not. Although he had told me he knew he was at fault but I just wanted to see if he was going to apologize to his brother. His brother had been kind to him and the least he could do was to actually apologise to him regarding eveything that had happened.A few minutes later, he put the call on loud speaker. I don't know why he wanted me to hear their conversation. Maybe he wanted to do something that would seem as if he was seeing that you can see why I'm the best option for you?I could hear my husband's voice now and I couldn't believe my eyes. I had missed him alot, i bever knew that this day would come so soon. I have always imagined hearing his voice once more since I was tak

You know the kind of songs that played during those masks party. That was what started playing and the waiters started sharing masks during the parties and then me ans the strange man grabbed our masks and we wore them ans started dancing with the people were saw and it was nice. After a while of dancing people started swapping partners but I made sure I didn't loose track of partner and no matter how much we faced we still found out way back to each other.After I had danced to the left direction away from him, he came closer meeting me and we had to dance together. As we danced I avoided having any sexual talks with him. Even if it were two days ago I would have probably imitated one but since we were getting closer to the our goals of escaping I had to reduce all those talks so that he would know that I wasn't even interested in him in that way so that when he would learn of my husband it wouldn't be as if I had betrayed him when I was simply to just playing to according to wjat wa

As she spoke, I tried to search for any hint of mockery in her eyes but I couldn't find any. She was damn serious and I knew I had to take her seriously because I had never seen her behave this way because and it scared me. I had this whole plan mapped out and now she was telling me not to follow through with it. Did she know how long I had been searching for this kind of support and now that I had seen it, I couldn't afford to let it go. What if she was jealous of me? In cases like this anything could be a possibility and it would be unwise of me to throw this help away. It was something that I desperately needed. I stared at me with tears brimming in my eyes.I couldn't hold it anymore. I needed an escape and I couldn't bear the thought of my escape being cut off. It was too hard to bandle. I shook my head and her eyes held a look of suprise.“Bella are you seriously crying?” She asked. “Have you fallen so deeply for him?” She asked.I shook my head with tears in my eyes. “This was

A sense of relief washed over me as soon as I saw him. I hit him playfully now growing comfortable around him.“What took you so long?” I asked him and he sighed. “I almost thought you weren't going to come here anymore and that made me scared. I was thinking that maybe you had changed your mind an

The preparation was soon, and we were all ready for the party. We had spent hours making sure we were perfectly glammed up for the party, and although we were scared for what tonight holds, we managed to be happy with the whole event before us and what the night would hold, but we just prepared acc

StefanoIt's been months and we still haven't gotten any information about my wife and news have been spreading about the death of Robin. But I knew that was a lie, he wasn't dead but alive. I guess he didn't want too much attention on him for the main time but that didn't make him less of the wick

Before I knew it, she broke into sob.I looked around just to check if anyone was watching us. I didn't want her to drag attention to our direction. I didn't have the strength to start explaining on why I was asking about Annabel. It was questionable because I didn't meet her here so anybody would
