Bellissima

Alexander’s pov

I felt pang in my heart when saw how scared she is. She really think that i will hurt her?

It means she doesn’t trust me at all. We need to change this.

I gently grabbed her hand by which she was thinking to block any attack. I don’t know if it was instict or what but i seems like she was expecting me to hurt her.

I need to deal with her father.

“Bella…”

Fuck, i don’t know how to be a gentle but she is bringing new side of me.

She looked at me with her red eye. She is crying and i don’t like it. I hate it.

I was furious when i saw her running away from me. There was weird feeling in me, it felt like i am losing my world. But that anger vanished when i saw her crying face.

I gently wiped her tears and she looked at me confused.

“I am not going to hurt you if that’s what you were thinking…”

I assured, caressing her soft cheeks.

“The day i will raise my hand on you, will your last day with me… If i can’t keep you safe then i don’t deserve you.”

And i mean it. Abusive partner is the last thing i want to become.

I kissed her forehead and wrapped my arms around her. She didn’t hug me back but she didn’t protest either.

I know she wants me the way I want her. And it was going all perfect, until she saw me in the basement. I understand that it’s natural for her to get scared. I was extra brutal on that day but i don’t regret it.

I need to win her trust back because i can’t loose her at any cost. She has become my addiction.

Her body fits against me like a complete puzzle.

You made me fall for you Bella and now you can’t leave me without knowing me. You have to give me chance to prove myself.

I broke the hug and she looked at me alert. I don’t know how I am going to clear my image in her mind.

I fetched some ice from the mini refrigerator and poured it in the bowl. Cold water will help her with the burn.

I can’t believe she was running without shoes. It’s burning outside. Bella definately can’t tolerate this temperature. I would have dropped the plan if i had idea that it will be this hot here.

I placed the tub down and she looked at me like i have grown two horns.

Never expected me to do this, I understand baby. I am surprised too.

“Your legs are hurt… We need to take care of them.”

Said and knelt in front of her.

Fuck, her legs are red. I gently placed her foot in the tub and she hissed.

“At least you could have borrow shoes from Dominick… I am sure if he can help you with yacht then he can easily provide you with footwear.”

I don’t want to be mean but her condition is making me mad.

Dominick, bastard! I am going to grill him in barbecue.

I cleaned her legs and put ointment on it.

She is surprisingly quiet. No nonsense talks, no cute threats. Why do I feel like it’s a silence before storm. I need to sleep with open eyes.

“Help me to understand what were you thinking while running.”

I asked. Where the she was going? Does she know that we are out of the country. And she can’t do anything here.

These islands are in the middle of ocean.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She didn’t answer me, instead she pulled her legs away from my hold and laid back on the bed. She closed her eyes while holding her knees to her chest.

What do I do with this girl?

I kissed her head, she didn’t open her eyes but i can see that she wasn’t uncomfortable either.

This is only reason why i am fighting for her. If Bella has showed even a hint of hate or disgust towards my touches then i would have drop her back. But she likes it, she wants it and she needs it just like i do.

There is no use of scolding her.

Dominick, you bastard!

I glanced at Bella one last time and closed the door. That bastard better be wearing iron shield because i am going to beat the shit out of him.

I went out, i don’t know how much time i spent with Bell but it’s already getting dark.

I looked around and instantly regret the wrong timing. I don’t want to witness this.

Dominick is eating Grace’s face like a hungry wolf. Holding her against the bricked wall like she will melt away but it’s hard to ignore that Grace is not holding on him. Her hands are frozen in the middle air like she is scared to touch him.

What are you doing Dom. This is not how it works. I shook my head.

It’s not like i haven’t seen him with other girls but i am aware of the fact that Dom haven’t touched one woman twice. And the way he is being passionate with Grace, i am sure that it’s more than lust.

He might have sense my presence because he suddenly broke the kiss and fixed Grace’s shirt. Insecure much!

“Looks like you are having a good time brother.”

I mocked. How can I let him enjoy when he has ruined my day.

Grace has turned red by my words if that’s even possible but she didn’t hide this time because me. It means she has accepted my apology. Good.

Dominick didn’t take his eyes of her and Smirked while wiping her lips with his thumb. My stomach churned when i saw my father in him for a second. This is not right. My mother can deal with this obsession but grace is not strong for this dark shit.

I have seen how badly my father is obsessed with mother. Thankfully she wants him too otherwise it would have turn nasty. Martha has once told me how my father kidnapped mother from her home and refused to let her go until she accepted his proposal. That time it didn’t feel wrong but when i think about it now, it’s little disturbing to imagine my mother in that situation.

You can’t become our father Dominick.

Or may be i am becoming my father too.

“Go inside.”

Dominick ordered her and she happily walked away, probably not interested in our family matters. Smart girl. No wonder she has caught Dominick’s attention.

“What is she? Your pet?”

I glared at him.

“To order her around.”

“She is my concern… Why don’t you focus on your girl.”

He flashed his infamous mocking smile.

“At least my girl is still standing in front me… Yours is ready to run marathon.”

“You love to fuck with me.”

I gritted.

“You started it.”

He grabbed me by collar.

“How dare you fucking touch her.”

He is still holding on that.

“I apologized…”

I pushed him back.

“I had no idea that she really means something to you… I thought she is one of the fling… I have already apologized to her… I know i was wrong for doing that.”

He cursed and banged his fist on the wall.

“I can’t take it well, Dominick…”

He has called me by my real name after so many years.

“I don’t like when other men look at her. When someone touch her, even if it’s some woman… I don’t know how to deal with this feeling…”

I understand how it feels because i am dealing with the same shit, only difference is i know how to control it.

“That’s completely on you… You decide how you want it to be.”

I sighed.

Dominick released a heavy sigh.

“I was just wanted to piss you off… That yacht was already broken. She, was running for nothing.”

He confessed.

I knew something like this is behind all the Chaos.

“She got injured… And i blew up your yacht.”

I don’t regret that.

“It was a crap anyway.”

He looked at me.

“My Island will be available in two days…”

I replied, not wanting to mess with him anymore.

He shook his head.

“It’s all yours… Stay as much you want.”

This is my brother, not the one who was in front of Grace.

“Are we becoming like our father, Alex…”

Dominick just spoke my mind. Glad that he is atleast aware about his condition.

“You are becoming worst than him, Dominick.”

I know it’s going to hurt him but he needs to hear the truth.

“No matter how bad it is, i have never seen a drop in mother’s eyes because of dad… She is happy with him, she can’t stop smiling whenever she is around him… And what are you doing?”

I know that he knows what i am talking about.

“I am working on it.”

He rubbed his forehead.

“Hope, you won’t fuck up.”

Same goes for me.

“You really need to chain up your girl.”

Dominick said and i frowned at him. He tilted his head behind me and followed the direction of his eyes.

My eyebrows furrowed when i saw her walking out of the villa.

Where the fuck is she going?

Not again Bella, not again!
