WHEN THEY FALL Chapter fifteen
BELLA’S POVJust like that, a week passed, Leo and Angelica became a permanent part of my home. The lighter I felt, the more guilt seemed to weigh down on me. My nightmares returned with stifling intensity and nothing seemed to help. The drive home was unnecessarily long with traffic making it hard for me to navigate the tarred roads. I got home around nine and from the other car in the driveway I knew Leo was home probably spending the night. The man had a way of forcing things.As soon as I entered the house, I was greeted with loud cries echoing the walls. Following the shrill sounds, I found Leo in the guest bedroom trying to calm down a wailing Angelica."Give her to me." I said, surprising him."Here." His gruff voice gritted as he dumped the baby in my arms.Resting her head on my shoulder, I patted her back gently while humming a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me. It took a while for her to calm down, but once she did I reached out for the bottle of milk and fed her a

Bella's POVThe drive home was unnecessarily long with traffic making it hard for me to navigate the tarred roads. I got home around ten and I did not fail to notice the sports car in my drive way.As soon as I entered the house, I was greeted with loud cries echoing the walls. Following the shrill sounds, I found Leo in the guest bedroom trying to calm down a wailing Angelica."Give her to me." I said, surprising him."Here." His gruff voice gritted as he dumped the baby in my arms.Resting her head on my shoulder, I patted her back gently while humming a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me. It took a while for her to calm down, buy once she did I reached out for the bottle of milk and fed her as she now rested in my arms comfortably."Wow." I heard Leo breathe into my neck. How he got this close to me, I had no idea."A mother's magic." I said with a smile trying to ignore his presence besides me. His hand gently brushed strands of hair off Angelica's sleeping face, making her

Bella's POV"Send her in." I spoke into the intercom, rubbing my neck inorder to relieve some stress."Mrs. Mendoza." She spoke her voice full of mischief."Tokyo," I warned with a glare. This was no joking matter."What?" She feigned innocence, "You are marrying the man after all.""Firstly I am not getting married to anyone," I clarified, taking in her sweatshirt and yoga pants with shades too big for her face, "and secondly stop talking to Damien so much!""Have you seen the man?" She sat down infront of me, "I mean you told me yourself you feel 'drawn' no, enchanted by him.""I admitted that he was attractive.""Same thing," she grinned, "so, has he tried taking you out again?""No, and thank god! I have been avoiding him even more after the kiss, hopefully he gets the memo." I ranted, forgetting that I decided to keep the kiss a secret."You guys kissed!" She shouted with excitement "And I'm only finding out now? Tell me when, how and where?""You were in Paris," I said pointedly

Weeks passed and I was avoiding the man, when he came over at the house I'd be in my room or make an excuse to leave but in that time Dylan and Leo had gotten closer and formed a bond that could last a lifetime.I used my time to focus on what really mattered to me. Getting out of my father's claws. I refused to be caught up in his obsessively controlling world any longer. Twenty seven years of my life was enough, it truly was. I was meeting up with a few cosmetologists to pitch them my ideas.Being financially independent was one of the steps I needed to take inorder to escape from my father. My mother took a horrifying escape but I would take a more logical one.Having done modelling in my early twenties, after I had Dylan, I was well versed in the fashion world and I knew how healthy skin was a vital part of being infront of the cameras. That is why I decided to launch a skin care line whose products would be made from organic raw materials."This is brilliant!" Ivan one of the cos

*Bella's POV*After tucking Dylan to sleep, I went downstairs to see Leo out else he would insist on staying the night. Again. I carried Angelica's bag, determined to send him away.The man brought a crib over, I almost missed it earlier. If I don't stop him now, he will start moving in bit by bit. As it is already, he has some of his clothes hanged in the closet of the guest room.As I reached the foot of the stairs, I caught a glimpse of him gently swaying Angelica in his arms trying to lull her to sleep. My eyes softened at the sight. The man was a good father."You can leave now." I said, steeling my gaze.Instead of answering he shushed me, gesturing at Angelica who stirred in her sleep.I let out a sigh and sat on the nearest sofa, crossing my legs in the process. I waited for him as he carefully placed her in her crib and faced me."Let's talk." He commanded walking out into the hall."Here," I shoved the bag into his hands, "take your child and go.""I thought she's Angie not

Leo's POVI was driving recklessly and Bella did not seem to notice, she was quietly applying makeup on her face. I inwardly groaned, the woman did not need makeup. None at all."Dad!" Dylan said shaking my hand and I hummed respond to him. "So what's my sister's name?" he asked curiously."Angelica," I replied stiffly, shifting awkwardly in my chair. I woke up one day and just found her on my doorstep with a note saying: 'it's your's, take care of it. You can conduct a DNA test, I really don't care...never try to contact me okay, just be happy I did not get rid of it...Michelle.'"Angelica!" he echoed giggling "I love it! So is she like me, I mean as old as me.""Um...no." I hesitated "She's only a few months old.""Aaaah," he said and I could see his pout through the rearview mirror and then he suddenly lit up, "I know, I'll play with her when she's older, when she's eight like me. Then we'll play together.""Yes, yes you will." I said chuckling."So what does she like to do, watch c
