BELLA POV Getting down from the car as I headed to the entrance ignoring the greeting from the staffs as I couldn't contain the pain and anger. And I was sure I would break down again in their presence if I dare open my mouth to say anything.“Good evening Ma'am. May I take you bag upstairs for you?" Marianna asked, beaming with smiles and I raised my head staring at her with intense aggression.“Oh you are in a bad mood. I'm very sorry, j would run a hot water bath for you to help relieve the tension.” Maria added, trying to soothe me but I wasn't annoyed.Just the brim point of breaking down with my soul leaving my body. The pain was too much and I was holding it in so I could cry at the comfort and privacy of my room.“Ma'am? You aren't saying anything." She itved, hoping I would say something so she can tell what was wrong with me.But I can't let someone see me at my weak state, so she sighed and left when she realized I won't be responding to her.Lying on my bed and the tear

BELLA'S POV I couldn't contain my rage and I ran out of the house with my heart beating faster than a raging fire, as I was trying to calm myself down so I won't kill myself in the process of finding my failure of a father. “Bella where are you goung to?" 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

Bella POVThe sound of my phone woke me up, it was raining so I slept off. I groaned in frustration and turned on the bed. The ringtone Ended and it began to ring again. I picked up after a second. I groaned and finally forced my eyes to open. I yawned and gnashed my headache immediately . I sat up, my hand reached my hand, my hand reached my head, the phone was still ringing and I forced myself out of the bed, Stumbling on my bag and clothes. I dropped everything on the floor as soon as possible. As I got home.“Good morning ma'am I'm sorry for disturbing you but there's an emergency… Before the receptionist could complete her words I interrupted her.“What emergency am I off duty tonight?

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. Could’ve picked up supply routes, contacts, shipments..”“Enough,” I Interrupted, my anger bubbling dangerously close to the surface. “They want a war? They’ve got one.” “Orders?” my second in command asked.“Send our men,” I said coldly. “No loose ends. Kill every guard they h

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.”

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
