Stefano asked, completely shocked by the way I was running like I was racing for an Olympics games. I dived into a car and drove out in such a speed that even Stefano won't pick. My heart was pounding faster that that of the car engine.In less than three minutes I had arrived at my father's house, and music was blasting from the house and I wondered why his neighbors haven't complained to the police about the type of nose cooking out from the house at same an odd hour. Running into the house without my shoes and I went directly to the speaker and I turned it off gaining the attention of all the party goers who was staring at me with disgust and drunkenness in their eyes as they could barely stand up straight. “You all should g

BELALA POV “Besides why are you raging like something bad had happened. What more do you want? You have paid the debt off so I can do whatever I want. And that includes having parties like this, you shouldn't ask my guests to leave like you own the goddamn place.You should really get out of this house now, you have a way of ruining someone's mood. And don't worry, I would try not to put you into more debts, I would do you that favour even though you don't deserve it from me.” He said, picking up and shot of tequila as he gulped it down at a go.And I stared at him getting more amused by his choice of words. They no longer hurt me rather I was only feeling that he was so stupid to think I would ever give any money to him.“You are such a disgrace to fatherhood and I can't wait for you to die so the world would be rid of a pathetic thing like you. And you know what? You would need to leave my house anytime soon, I want to put it up for sale immediately, you can't get in my house an

Bella's POV"How have you been? What's wrong?" He asked as he continued planting kisses on my forehead.A simple act but it was enough to make me feel a little bit bit, I had time to go over my actions today in his arms and I realized that maybe I had overreacted."What's wrong? Your mind isn't here, what happened?" He asked pulling me up to sit on his legs."It's Lucy.""What happened to Lucy?""Well earlier, I think I might have overreacted, I snapped at her and right now I feel horrible." I said running my fingers down his arm.He watched for some minutes in silence "why don't you just call and apologize? These things happen, must times we can't control how we react to a situation Even though our actions may seem like the right thing to do at first, it is still not to late to call and apologize when we realize we're in the wrong.""You think so? You think calling her to apologize would be the right thing to do?" I asked trying to convince myself that taking his

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.”

Stefano’s POVThe moment my phone buzzed, I knew it wasn’t going to be good news.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my hands around the cell phone before picking it up and placing it on speaker.“They bugged the warehouse, boss,” The voice came through from the other end. “Robin and his father.”A dangerous silence filled the office. Then I exhaled sharply, my jaw tightening, with immediate anger consuming me.“Luca Manno,” I muttered, gripping the edge of my desk. “That bastard still has the audacity.”I looked up , away from the phone screen, my expression dark. “Tell me they didn’t find anything useful.”“They might have,” the voice from the other end admitted. “We don’t know how long the bugs were there.
