Bellissima

Author’s POV

Bella was sitting on the bed with furious face. She isn’t saying anything but she wants to kill someone.

Alexander closed his eyes frustrated.

“I had no idea that he will do something like this.”

He looked at her and internally cursed.

“It was your fucking responsibility.”

She growled at him and stood up from the bed.

“You said she is safe.”

“She is safe, Bella…”

He stated.

“Really?”

Bella gritted.

“She is safe?… Your friends destroyed her whole life…”

Alex grabbed his head frustrated.

“Calm down please, calm down…”

He tried to touch her but she jerked her hand back.

“Don’t you dare touch me… I trusted you Alex. I thought you will protect Jasmine…”

Her eyes turned glossy.

“I want to meet her… Right now!”

She demanded.

“She is not going to stay with Luca anymore… I am going to kill that bastard anyway.”

Alex tried to make her understand but she wasn’t ready to listen. He has no choice but to take her to meet Jasmine.

“I am sorry… I had no idea it will turn up like this”

Alex said while driving the car.

“Don’t talk to me, please…”

Bella looked out of the window.

“Bella you can’t blame me for this… I am feeling betrayed too… Luca is with me since childhood, he is not that kind of man…”

Alex said trying to control his anger.

“Still he did it…”

Bella looked at him with wet eyes.

“Jasmine is my everything, Alex… I did all this so i could get her out of that jail. She has dreams and she wants freedom… Luca snatched everything from her… I can’t let him do that… I want my sister back…”

Alex sighed but didn’t say anything. She was right as a sister.

Bella stormed out when they reached Luca’s place. Alex tried to cope up with her space she was literally running inside.

“Bella stop, don’t do anything crazy…”

He said trying to catch her.

She furiously hit the bell and finally maid opened the door.

“Where is Luca?”

She stormed in.

“Jasmine!”

She yelled.

Jasmine came running out of her bedroom and Luca was close behind her.

“Oh my God! Bella?”

Jasmine rushed towards her.

Bella hugged her tightly. Her eyes landed on Luca and she cursed.

“You bastard…”

She was ready to attack him with fist.

Jasmine gasped at her reaction.

“Bella stop!”

Before she punch Luca, Alex grabbed her by waist and held her back until her trashing died down.

Luca was standing there unfazed, he didn’t even flinched when Bella attacked him.

“How dare you do this to her”

Bella yelled at Luca.

“Bella please stop… I love him”

Jasmine declared and everyone’s eyes towards her. Even Luca was surprised.

“It was mutual decision…”

Bella looked at Jasmine shocked.

“And you didn’t feel necessary to tell me?… It wasn’t small thing Jasmine… I am your sister..”

“I know but I feel like it and we did it… It’s my life and i think i can make my own decisions”

Jasmine replied.

Bella was taken a back by her words. She chuckled bitterly.

“Yes it’s your life… Who am I to question you… I thought we are sisters but at the end we are of same blood.”

She said as tears slipped from her eyes.

Jasmine shook her head as her own eyes started shading tears.

“No, you are my sister Bella… It’s just happened”

“You don’t owe me an explanation, it’s your life…”

Bella stepped back from her.

“Congratulations on your marriage…”

“Bella”

Jasmine cried when Bella walked out while crying.

Alex pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I don’t know why you fucked up like this, Luca but you better clean this mess…”

He looked at Jasmine but didn’t say anything. She was crying mess. He rushed behind Bella.

Luca sighed and looked at Jasmine.

“Jasmine”

“I hate you…”

Jasmine cried looking at him.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I hate you for everything…”

Bella was sitting inside the car, silent and sad. Her cheeks were still wet from fresh tears.

Alex took his seat and started driving. They fell into uncomfortable silence.

Alex understand that Jasmine’s words has hurt Bella. He knows how much she loves her sister and Jasmine hide such big thing from her.

Alex parked his car and they got out.

Bella walked towards the veranda instead of going inside.

“Bella it’s too late, you need to sleep.”

Alex said gently.

“Leave me alone”

She mumbled and walked out.

She sat on the hanging bench and curled her knees to her chest. She never thought that Jasmine will do something like this. It was hurting.

Bella looked up when warm blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

“Christmas is cold…”

Anamika said and sat beside her.

“People are getting colder”

Bella mumbled.

Anamika nodded in understanding.

“People were always cold, dear… You need to seek warmth from them…”

“I lost my family…”

Bella said but scoffed.

“Stupid me… I don’t even have a family…”

“You don’t need anyone to become stronger, Bella… You are an individual, don’t let anyone affect your life…”

She placed her hand on her shoulder.

“People come and go… You can’t mourn for lifetime.”

“You have no idea how much it hurts when family abandon you”

Bella wiped her eyes.

Anamika smiled bitterly.

“Truth me i know”

She said and Bella looked at her confused.

“Life is dark Bella… But it’s in our hands how we are going to brighten it.”

“I don’t know… It’s like my life is falling apart… Since last few days life is throwing all secrets on my face… being illegitimate child, then Alex being cruel mafia, he kidnapped me, Amanda looking exactly like me and now Jasmine… I don’t know what else to happen…”

She sighed.

“I am still dealing with the fact that Alex is criminal and now this… I know he won’t do anything to me but something in my mind is bugging me…”

“I know how it feels”

Anamika patted her back.

“I have been through this… Do you think i had a choice when Massimo entered in my life.”

Bella looked at her.

“You were powerful… What compelled you.”

“Everything!”

She replied.

“His possessiveness, stubbornness to have me at any condition… He was more powerful than me. No matter how much i would have tried, running away from him was impossible and i knew it so i didn’t even try… Instead i gave him chance to show me how much he loves me.”

“But he was criminal and you wasn’t even aware of his world.”

Bella replied.

“So what?… People betrayed and hurt me on every stage of my life… But Massimo taught me what trust is… He changed my life… I don’t give a fuck that he is criminal because people who are calling themselves innocent are wolves behind the sheep’s facade… So i claimed the tiger who will hunt everyone down for me.”

Anamika replied.

“You have to choose for yourself… Don’t think about people because you don’t owe them anything.”

“What if one day that tiger hunts you down too”

Bella asked.

Anamika smirked.

“Truth me if that tiger is letting you claim him then he will let you control him too…”

Bella nodded in understanding.

“And about your sister then i think she is right, it’s her life… I know Luca since he was a child. He is a good man…”

She patted her back.

“as a sister you have a right to be upset… But don’t ruin your relationship by becoming overprotective. Jasmine is a smart girl, she can handle it… You have to let her control her own life.”

“You are right, she can take her own decisions…”

Bella wiped her tears.

“I don’t want happened… I thought Luca is forcing her and lost it… But if she loves him then i am no one to stop…”

She smiled bitterly.

“But i am disappointed… I had so many plans for her wedding… And she didn’t even invite me”

Anamika rubbed her back.

“I understand…”

“Your bodyguard is here”

Bella tilted her towards the door.

Anamika chuckled when she saw her husband.

“Why did you suddenly leave the room?”

He asked.

“I wanted water.”

Anamika grabbed his hand and dragged him back inside the house.

“Let’s go i am sleepy…”

Bella sighed and looked at the sky.

“It’s getting cold let go inside”

She heard Alex who was standing behind her.

“You told her to talk to me?”

She looked at him.

Alex picked her up in Bridal style and carried her inside.

“Because you wasn’t ready to listen to me.”

He replied.

Bella placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

“I am sorry Bella…”

He kissed her head.
