The Don's bargain 60
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Getting there, we were immediately shown the room father had been moved to and as as we got there, my brain couldn't stop conjuring the worst memories.The moment my father saw, his eyes lit up in the most sweetest way. Then he looked over to Marco with a suprised look on his face before his lips stressed into a small smile.“I knew Stefano didn't just come here on his home.” He observed, then tried to sit upright. Seeing how he struggled with that single line of action, my brother and I rushed over to his direction to help me out.My father raised a finger at us. “”Wait, I actually don't need help.”Marco and I glanced at each other. What was he talking about?We ignored him without saying a word about his previous statement.“I just missed being able to do things on my own.” He shook his head, confessing, before placing both hands in front of him.“You don't have to worry about that father, you'll be fine soon.” I encouraged him, and glanced at my brother for more supportive words.

Matteo was pacing around now after hearing eveything. I didn't blame him. What he heard was probably too much for him to handle and I didn't blame him. “So what are we going to do?” He asked and I shook my head.Frankly I had no idea on what we supposed to do and it irked me that for the first time in a while, I felt out of control.He paused and stared at me. “So firstly, we have to calm down.” He gestured with his hands and I stared at me, my face twisting with suprise .“Who says I'm not calm.” I shrugged.He snapped his fingers at me. “You've started with this thing that you always do huh?”I tsked. “So what exactly are we supposed to do?”“I think firstly you went about this whole thing the wrong way. I arched my brows at him. “What did he mean?”“I think it was crazy for you to have involved the police.” He Chided softly and I could reason with him. “You know it's the Mafia, we deal with our beef our own way. Involving the police shows how weak you are and you've given them so

Just as I was driving, I had a searing thoughts cut through my focus. I had just one thought in my mind that I was being a fucking inconsiderate selfish…My heart started thumping fast against my ribcage. I didn't even know where I was heading to anymore. I had lost a sense of a direction, I kept on Listening to eveything he was saying to me.How had I let everything he had to say to me get to me this way. This was crazy, I slammed my hand on the steering wheel and released a groan. I stopped the car and parked by the corner of the road. I was pretty sure he had gotten what he wanted. An opportunity for me to sit in silence and reflect.He was right. I was just being mean and sarcastic. I hated the way his questions made me dig digger into my heart. I wanted some answers buried deeper into my chest without anyone knowing them. I needed to go back the hotel and apologize to him. I made a Uturn, deciding to offer him a befitting apology.When I entered the room, I found stuffed in his

Stefanos's POVThe past few days have been hetic. I knew I needed some sort of help and strategizing so I called my brother Matteo to fly down to Italy so we could talk. I let him know how much of a deep shit I was in… I had told him to focus on his marriage and not care too much about the mafia activities. He had been doing just that. This time, I needed his help more than ever.He swiftly agreed without hesitation.While I was patting my wife's hair as she slept, my phone rang cutting through the silence.My wife stirred and I whispered. “Sorry baby.”Then I walked away stealthily carrying my phone beside me.“I just landed.” Matteo informed. “Do I come over?”I thought about the question for a while. I had the belief that if Matteo should come home Bella would have a clue that I was worried and she would definitely ask me to share my worries with her. I didn't want to have either of those conversations with her. I was the man who was supposed to stay strong for her and not have he

Tomasso's situation was proving to be layered with each day that passes by. What were the old that Tomssso may have been friends or cordial with Rosa. That was another puzzle I had to fix if I really wanted to know what was going on.Just after a few minutes later, I headed to his room and knocked at his dooor. I held my heart into my mouth as I knocked at his door, hoping for a response. If there was one thing this new Tomasso was good at was ignoring someone.“Who's there?” He groaned, as though he was feeling disturbed.“It's me.” I stuttered.“Okay?” He asked.I scrunched my face. Isn't he supposed to say come in or something?“Come in.” He said as though it was am afterthought.The moment I stepped inside the room, I stood beside the bed, staring at him.He crossed his legs by the ankle as he held the remote control in front of the television.“Wanted to ask if you knew Rosa.”He regarded me briefly. “I'm yet to remember every part of it but I know she was nice to me at some poi

Feeling tired of bed rotting, I found myself in the kitchen to eat. Afterwards, I stayed in the sitting room. I found myself wishing that Tomasso wouldn't come to the sitting room. As much as I loved him, I was growing tired of his incessant questions and nonchalant attitude.In a few minutes the door opened. My head jerked towards the direction of the door, had stefano come so quickly?I thought he had texted to inform me that he would spending so much tjme at the office today? What happened? Maybe he had forgotten an important file, I thought to myself.The door opened revealing someone I thought I would see. Maybe I had imagined seeing her in real life a few times but I never thought the day would come so soon.I opened my mouth to say something but the words died in my throat.“What are you doing here?” I said when I finally gathered the courage to say something.She took off her glasses. oh my gosh, I see the mirror of myself. I see myself standing in front of me. The resemblance

I held my breath the moment I picked up the call.I had no idea of what he wanted to say to me and that made me extremely mad.“Hey dad.” I started.“Hi Bella.” His deep voice came through. “How are you doing?”Not again. Could he just go straight to the point and tell me why he was calling?“Eveything is fine I guess.” I replied.“Are you sure?” He asked.“Hmm why?” I asked him, suprised.“You said I guess. It seems like you're not fine to me but okay I'll let it slide.” He observed.“Well thank you but I'm okay.” I added, not ready for any sort of long conversation with him.I needed to get back to bed. The reason I left the bed while having this conversation was because I was sure that Stefano wouldn't like the idea of me talking to my father. He had the mindset that anytime I spoke to him, I ended being sad. He wasn't actually far from the truth if we're being real.“So I called because of something.” Thank the heavens, he was finally saying why he called me.“I called because I w

A flicker of suprise crossed his eyes. “What now huh?”I sucked in a deep breath. I was about to launch into a full fledged rant and my look like a fucking lunatic… but I didn't care at this point.“Tomasso, look into me and tell me you don't remember a fucking thing.”He cackled. When he recovered from the laughter, he let go of my hold. “Hell naw I didn't even remember my name. Marco show me a few videos so I believe we're friends.”“You remember nothing from those video?” I probed, a part of me believed he was choosing to suppress his memories that's why the drugs are not being as effective as we want them.He hesistated. “No. And stop being pushy. This whole theatrics is old already.” He said with an irritated look on his face and started walking towards towards him room.“Whatever you call it.” I muttered and pinched my wrist. How long were we going to continue with this. I was growing impatient by the day. He had to remember. He needed to know we see siblings, he had to tell us

The next morning Tomasso insisted on sitting on the parlour with me while stefano had gone to the office. We didn't say anything, just glancing at each other from time to time.I texted Stefano to inform him of what was happening.S: Maybe you could engage him in a conversation, who knows if he might begin to remember somethings…I think he was right. One of the mistakes we were making was avoiding certain questions he was asking.Me: I'll try, I miss going to work.Stefano replied immediately.Do you wanna go back? We could employ someone to baybsit him.Then how is he going to recall faster?It could still happen. He just needs his drugs and need to be in contact with his environment that way he'll continue to have flashbacks.Thank you captain obvious. I teased.“So y'all said you are my guardians.” Tomasso asked and I paused midway the sentence I was typing on my phone.I raised my head slowly. “Yes you've been living with us.”“For how long?” He asked.I told him the accurate dat
