Bellissima

Bella’s POV

I never liked this woman, even though we were living under one roof. She was never my mother.

“Bella..”

She stood up from the bed where Valentino is sitting.

What is she doing here? How did she come here? The biggest question is, how did her so called husband allowed her to come Italy to meet her lover?

Alex stood behind me like a mountain, glaring at her with his cold eyes.

She looked at him and Valentino.

“Bella… How was your day?… I hope you are working hard for exams.”

Valentino tried to ease the tension in the room.

“Yeah!”

I smiled ignoring the unwanted presence in the room. I have nothing to do with her.

“How are you feeling now?… This is for you”

I gave him big chocolate bar and he laughed.

“Thanks i needed it after taking bitter medicines..”

He hide it under his pillow.

“I hope you die with diabetes…”

Alex commented And i glared at him.

“Wish you the same”

Valentino scowled.

“Can you guys stop it please…”

I sighed.

“Actually i am here to inform you that i am marrying Alex…”

I waited for his reaction.

“He is not worthy of you”

He shook his head.

“Just like my bullet is not worthy of you..”

Alex said mockingly.

“You know i love him”

I looked at him.

“And i know you trust him with me because you asked for his help to save me from Russians… Can we forget all this and accept each other please…”

“He killed Amanda”

She looked at Alex.

Alexander rolled his eyes.

“If you are here to mourn for that then let me tell you she was helping Russians… Not even mine but she also sold Valentino’s sensitive information to Russians… She would have destroyed everything with her stupidity…”

Valentino never talked about it. But i know how much loyalty matters in Mafia, even from family members.

“Let’s not talk about it..”

Valentino cleared his throat.

“It’s all past… Amanda i have told you everything, i will appreciate if you drop the subject…”

“She was my daughter and i can’t see her anymore…”

She mumbled.

“As if you really care about your children… You have done nothing but birth children and threw them at me and Jasmine to take care… So don’t even talk about being ideal mother and that shit…”

“Bella…”

Alex hold me from being.

“Shhh… It’s hospital…”

He pulled my back against his chest.

“I know i was wrong but i am still your mother and i love you…”

She said with glossy eyes.

She should have said it when that monster was abusing me, when i used to cry all night, when i needed someone to hold me and tell me that i matter, i am not worthless.

But that time she was busy taking care of her husband.

“It doesn’t matter now…”

I shook my head. Alex tightened his hold on me.

“He is dead Bella”

She declared.

He is dead?

“He died in accident… He is no more… Your father is dead.”

She said like it should sooth my wounds.

I looked at Alex and is swear i caught him smirking before it disappeared under his innocent facade. We need to talk about his death.

“He wasn’t my father… He is my father…”

I pointed towards Valentino.

“This man is my father… And he has given me more love in these few days that you couldn’t give me in years…”

She shook her head.

“Bella i was___”

“I don’t care…”

I made her stop.

“I don’t care why you are here and what’s happening in your life… I don’t care of you guys are together again or not… I am here for my father. I care only about him… He is the only one who matters to me and you will stay away from my life… Understood…”

“Bella… Calm down… I promise you she will not interfere in your life…”

Valentino pulled me to sit beside him and Alex let me go.

“Don’t stress yourself… No one will hurt you now. You know i love you and i don’t want anything other than your happiness… I am not against your marriage… Alex can protect you better than me, he proved it.”

He patted my head.

“If you love him… I don’t have any problem…”

I hugged him and he patted my back. He really feels like father whom i can trust.

“I know you were dying to hear it… But i couldn’t… Today i want to say it… That I love you dad…”

I said and he looked at me with glossy eyes.

“Finally!”

He released a sigh of relief with glossy eyes.

I smiled and nodded.

“Finally!… Now get well quickly. You have preparations to do… It’s my wedding…”

“Of course… ”

He chuckled.

“BELLA!”

I heard familiar chores. All my siblings came running towards me and buried me under their small bodies.

I would be lying if i say that i didn’t miss them.

After all i have raised them.

“Where were you?… Dad said you died”

Jack, the smallest one said with pout.

“No! I didn’t…”

I hugged and kissed his chubby cheeks.

“We missed you…”

Lara said, she is second last but she is smart.

“I missed you too.”

I smiled at her.

“Bella is he your boyfriend… He is so handsome.”

Nora whispered in my ear looking at Alex.

“Does he knows about cars?… Only then you can marry her!”

Jack yelled.

Alex looked at all of them with wide eyes. He must be flabbergasted after seeing so many kids.

But he somehow handled himself.

“Yes! I have many cars… Someday I’ll give you ride too…”

He said proudly.

“Yeah! Then you can marry Bella.”

He jumped in happiness.

“Jack are you trading me for cars?”

I pouted at him. I am sure he has no idea what trading is and he definitely has no idea what’s going on here, his six years old mind only cares about cars.

“Yes, so we can ride in it… You know I love cars..”

He said in his cute voice.

I talked little with them until Alex lost his patience and asked me to leave.

I bid goodbye to all of them and walked out with Alex.

I am not surprised that Dad has decided to take care of all her kids. He loves kids and Amanda so of course. I guess his love haven’t died yet.

But i really hate Amanda for calling him after being selfish for years and make him take care of her kids. That woman is shameless.

She is using his love. Till now he was criminal for her and now when husband died, she has no money to take care of children so she decided to come back. Seriously!

“You used to take of these children?”

Alex asked and i laughed at his face. It was like ‘All these monsters, salute to you’

I said.

“Uuhmmm.”

He nodded his head but his expressions said it all.

“Anyway! Maa is waiting for you… For wedding dress and all…”

“Ohh… But it should be from my side, right?”

Things happen usually like this in us.

“Actually it’s a ritual which mom follows… Everything which will bride use or wear will come from the groom’s side…”

He explained.

“Ohh so your things will be arranged by us?…”

I asked.

“It doesn’t matter Bella… We are going to buy it together anyway…”

He kissed my cheeks.

“You just enjoy the wedding don’t care about these things… Maa will talk to Valentino…’

“Okay!”

I smiled. I am really very excited for the wedding.

“You said you want Indian wedding?”

He asked.

My eyes glowed.

“Yes… Just like your mother did… I want to wear all those things… It was so pretty…”

“But it’s going to be very long wedding with all rituals, jewelry and your clothes… Will you be comfortable?…”

He asked.

“Yes…”

I replied like a excited child.

“Can we please have that wedding… Please, please…”

“Okay.”

He chuckled.

“Don’t say that i didn’t warn you!’

“Yes!”

I jumped in happiness.

“By the way, what’s the destination!”

He smiled.

“That’s my love is surprise for you!”
