Bellissima

Author’s POV

Bella panicked not understanding why Alexander is telling her to run away from Dominick. Alexander looked worried but before he does anything Dominick grabbed Bella by throat and slammed her against the wall.

Bella opened her mouth to scream but it got muffled by the barrel of Dominick’s gun.

“Shhh… I don’t like loud people”

He Smirked closer to her face.

“Dom leave her”

Alexander warned.

“You are saying this?… I should give you the taste of your own medicine, shouldn’t I?”

Dominick mocked.

“Remove the gun”

Alexander glared at him.

“You won’t kill her!”

“I won’t but i can’t promise that it will not hurt”

He placed the barrel of gun on her arm instead.

“Don’t you dare, Dominick”

Alexander became restless, he knows that he can hurt her shoulder.

“Please leave me.”

Bella begged with watery eyes. She has never been on a gunpoint.

“Don’t worry it will be over and you won’t feel anything, I promise.”

Dominick mocked.

“Why are you doing this? you are his brother”

She sobbed. His hold was firm on her throat.

“He didn’t tell you?”

He mocked.

“You didn’t tell her?”

He looked at Alexander.

“Dominick don’t!”

Alexander warned.

“He has harassed my girl few days ago…”

Dominick said and she looked at him with disbelief.

“He is not like that”

She argued.

“Brave enough to argue when you are on gunpoint… You suits our family…”

He chuckled.

“He tore her dress…”

He stated.

Bella looked at Alexander with shock and he closed his eyes in regret.

“He asked her humiliating questions… He made her cry and beg… He called her whore, she is not a whore. She is my woman. She is mine”

He continued.

“She is terrified of him… She begged him to let her go but he didn’t, he was enjoying her fear”

“Dominick stop…”

Alexander growled.

“I want to hurt you”

Dominick said to Bella.

“I want to make you cry like he did to my Grace. I want to make him regret… He should know how it feels.”

He looked at Alexander madly.

“So tell me Bella… What should I do to you?”

Alexander looked at him angrily.

“No I can’t touch you like he did it with my girl… I can’t touch any other girl because she is the only one for me.”

He mocked looking at Alexander while in reality he can do much more than this. He just want to ruin it for Alexander. He knows that Alexander is trying to impress Bella and now his Image is ruined in her eyes.

“She got traumatized because of him…”

Alexander clenched his jaw and pulled out his gun from his waistband, Dominick frowned he pointed his gun towards the Grace who was standing in the corner and was completely unaware of it.

“Leave her otherwise I’ll shoot her”

He Threatened.

Dominick Smirked.

“Shoot her… Your bullet might miss the target but mine won’t.”

He placed the gun on Bella’s head.

Bella closed her eyes and let her tears slide.

“Why are you punishing me for his mistakes?”

She questioned him.

“Because hurting you will hurt him”

He replied.

“Dominick!”

Their eyes snapped towards Anamika who just came there.

“Step back, now!”

She gritted madly and with murderous glare.

Bella looked at her and now she understood why Alexander was afraid of her. She was fuming in anger.

To her surprise Dominick stepped back without argument like he has no power to defy his mother.

“He started it”

He said looking at his mother.

Alexander quickly pulled Bella in his arms.

“Now we are equal”

Dominick looked at him.

Alexander let Bella go and punched him on the face. Bella gasped looking at his force, it was brutal.

“Now we are equal”

He spat.

Anamika dragged Dominick away from everyone. Alexander looked at Bella with guilty eyes.

“Bella listen to me”

He said while putting his gun back.

“You said you will never hurt someone innocent”

She accused.

“You tore her clothes?”

She said in disbelief.

“I don’t want to talk right now…”

She said and walked away.

Alexander closed his eyes and Groaned frustratingly.

“Fuck you Dom”

He was about to walk away but then he saw Grace, Dominick’s Girl entering the washroom.

He decided to talk to her, he knows that he has crossed limits and feeling guilty for it.

He called Luca and ordered him to take care of Bella.

He tried to stop her when she came out of the washroom but she ran away from him, which made him realize that he has scared her very badly.

Alexander decided to head outside but on the way he saw how Grace was hiding behind Dominick. It was hard for him to believe that she is really hiding behind the man whom she hates the most.

He can see the fire in Dominick’s eyes, he decided to leave it as it is and walked out of the club.

Bella was already sitting in the car, she can still feel the barrel of gun on her head. It was terrifying experience. But it was more difficult for her to believe that Alexander really did that to her. He harassed her. She can only Imagine what that girl must have been through.

She didn’t look at him when he sat beside her.

“Bella”

He called her but she ignored him making him sigh.

“Dominick is my twin brother, I love him more than myself…”

He said and she still didn’t look at him but her all attention was on him.

“Dad told me that he has got the news that Dominick is abusing some girl… Dad is very strict in these kind of things, he never allow these things that’s why we strictly avoid human trafficking and brothels… He clearly said that if Dominick is abusing her then kill him…”

He declared and her eyes snapped towards him.

“Kill him?”

She asked in disbelief. He is father after all.

“Yes… I couldn’t believe his words and i was ready to protest but he told me something which changed my opinions… But I love Dominick, he is my twin, my better half… I can’t let dad kill him… So i decided to find out the truth about Dominick’s relationship with that girl, Grace.”

He sighed.

“That’s why you abused her”

She countered.

“No, I never wanted to do that but you might won’t understand this, I have seen many girls who are ready to step low for money… I have dealt with many of them and somewhere I was praying that Grace should be one of those girls, golddigger! so I can kill her instead of my own brother… But when i saw her, When I tried those things on her then i realized I was wrong… She didn’t throw herself on me, she wasn’t impressed by my looks or money, she was scared. Just scared nothing else… Yes, she accepted the fact that she is with Dominick just for money but I couldn’t find that greed in her. She looked innocent and naive. I saw that helplessness in her eyes…. So I was left with only one option and that was, to check Dominick’s feelings about her. He would have ignored me if it was just a random girl for him but No!… He knew that I won’t hurt her but still he was restless, I saw jealousy in his eyes, he was angry when I touched her, he felt insecure… And he finally gave me confirmation, he punched me!”

He rubbed his forehead.

“He never raised his hand on me before that but he punched me for that girl… She is special for him… He cares for her and I had to tell this to Dad… Tell him that my brother is not abusing her, she is with him by her own will.”

Bella looked at him sadly, he looked really disturbed.

“I know I was wrong and I did terrible mistake. I shouldn’t have done that to her but I wanted to save my brother… I can’t let him destroy his life.”

“You should have apologized to them after that… Looks like he has misunderstood you.”

She said gently holding his Hand.

“I did… I talked to him but he was blinded by anger. He wanted to take revenge and he did… He knows that you are Important for me and that’s why he did this to me…”

He placed his hand on hers.

“Alex”

Bella said gently.

“I don’t know how and why but you are becoming important person in my life… The thing you did that day, for the fear of darkness… You have no idea how much it means to me. I was struggling with it for years but you chased it away in one night… I have started building expectations, I know I have no right. I shouldn’t give you burden of my expectations and you are not obligated to make me happy but I can’t stop myself from doing that…”

She took a deep breath as it became hard for her to confess.

“You are the only man who is changing me… And I don’t want to believe that you can do something wrong. I know it’s stupid, you are Mafia and it’s in your blood but I have naive belief that you will never do something unnecessary, you will never hurt innocent because you not a monster… You have heart, good heart!… You know humanity… You will never do it, right?”

Alexander pulled her in a hug.

“You will never see my that face…”

He assured.

But it wasn’t the answer which she wanted. He didn’t promise that he won’t do it, he said he won’t let her know about it.

“Are you okay?”

He checked her arm and neck.

“I am fine..”

She assured.

“Fuck, Now I understand how fear feels like…”

He cupped her face.

“I don’t want to loose you, Bella”

He captured her lips in passionate kiss. Bella didn’t hesitate to kiss him back as they give in to their feelings.

He pulled her on his lap and deepened the kiss, slowly that kiss turned into makeout. He worshiped her neck with all his devotion.

His tongue Dominated her mouth as hand slowly slide under her dress.
