37. Caught!
Author’s POV
“Ma’am please stop”
Henry quickly got up when Bella stormed towards the Luca who was standing in front of closed door.
Luca raised his eyebrows as Henry held back furious Bella by grabbing both of her arms.
“Leave me… Where is my sister?”
Bella glared at him.
Luca was calm like he was expecting this from her.
“She is fine with me.”
He assured.
“I want to meet her now..”
Bella demanded while struggling to get free.
“Sorry, Alexander will not allow.”
He shrugged.
Bella closed her eyes and took a frustrated breath.
“You are not his slave… You can set her free.”
She gritted.
“I am his friend and i am loyal to him.”
Luca replied and his calmness irked her.
“Sorry Bella but you need to convince Alexander for this… I can’t leave your sister without his permission…”
“Leave me, Henry… Not like i can fight with this mountain.”
Bella rolled her eyes looking at Luca, who is double the size of her.
She snapped her fingers in front of luca in threatening manner.
“If something happened to Jasmine then i will kill you… You have to take care of her.”
“Promise!”
Luca agreed.
“Nice food, clothes and bed to sleep.”
She demanded.
“Already done”
He assured.
“You will stay away from her… No touching my sister…”
She frowned. Luca cleared his throat and just nodded.
“Anything else.”
He asked.
Bella rubbed her face and sighed.
“See, luca… Whatever I did was my mistake, Jasmine has nothing to do with it. She is innocent. She is introvert, she won’t tell you Even if she is uncomfortable or facing difficulties… She is a people pleaser, she has no idea how to say no or show people their boundaries… She has never been out of our small town and is completely clueless about this cruel world…”
Bella said.
“Please don’t hurt her…”
Luca sighed.
“You can trust me, Bella… She is safe with me.”
He assured.
“Can I talk to her.”
Bella asked desperately.
“No!”
He straight away declined.
She rolled her eyes.
“Bastard.”
She mumbled and went back to her place.
“Sir, capo is in meeting… He will be free in one hour…”
Henry informed luca and he left with nod.
“Do you know how powerful Luca is… You just threatened him like he is a kid…”
Henry said and sat down infront of her.
“I don’t care… He have to take care of my sister if he has kidnapped her.”
She shrugged.
“By the way why did you say that Luca is very powerful…”
“His family is in mafia for so many years. His father is right hand man of Mr. Marino… Of course they are powerful and influential.”
Henry said.
“But is luca also in illigal business?”
Bella asked because Alexander has told her something different.
“Not really, he stays away from blood but he definitely handles capo’s illegal business…”
He said.
“He controls business world in this city…”
“But he is a good man, right? He won’t hurt Jasmine?”
Bella asked.
“No he won’t… He is a gentleman with woman…”
Henry said and she sighed in relief.
“He usually stays away from scandals and women so your sister is in safe hands.”
“She better be otherwise I’ll kill Alex…”
She scowled.
“Excuse me, is Someone named Bella is here..”
They looked at the girl who peaked from the door.
“That’s me!”
Bella replied.
“Miss Marino is here and she wants to meet you. She is in her office on 12th floor.”
She said and walked away.
Bella looked at Henry confused.
“Miss Marino?”
“Raajnandini!”
Henry said and Bella smiled.
“Yes let’s go.”
She exclaimed and ran outside.
“I will rather babysit b years old.”
Henry sighed and ran behind her.
Bella reached 12th floor and opened the door of her cabin excitingly.
“Oh god! I am sorry”
She gasped and quickly turned around.
Raajnandini was sandwiched between two handsome men. One was kissing her fiercely and another was unzipping her dress.
Bella cursed herself for not knocking the door.
“I’ll come later”
Bella said.
“No! Bella wait.”
She heard her panting voice.
“Zip it Theo.”
She whisper yelled.
“Bella please come in…”
She said with nervous smile.
Bella turned around with awkward smile.
“Hii, sorry i didn’t knock, Raan… I was excited to meet you.”
“Perfectly fine… Come inside.”
Raan said while fixing her skirt.
Bella walked towards her and she introduced her to her boyfriends.
“This is Theodore and he is Christian…”
“Hello, beautiful… Nice curls, suits you…”
Theodore said playfully and Bella instantly liked him.
“Thank you.”
She smiled.
“Hello.”
While Christian said dry hello. Bella frowned at his behavior.
“Don’t mind him, he is introvert.”
Raan chuckled.
They both pecked her lips and left.
“Fuck, Raan… They are so hot…”
Bella said impressed.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Looks like they both are crazy for you.”
“Yeah! Sorry you had to see this.”
She chuckled.
“They just stormed in and i forgot everything.”
“I understand.”
Bella assured.
“By the way what’s going on.”
She sat on her chair and Bella sat in front of her.
“I heard he killed Amanda, couldn’t be more happy. That bitch deserved it”
“You knew I wasn’t Amanda”
Bella frowned.
“Yep! From the beginning… Otherwise I wouldn’t have talked to you…”
Raan smiled.
“I am really happy that Alexander chose you.”
Bella’s smile disappeared and Raan look at her confused.
“What happened?”
“I actually escaped when i saw Alexander killing one man brutally… But he kidnapped me and my sister and now he is blackmailing me with her… Luca has my sister…”
Bella told her everything.
“That idiot…”
Raan cursed.
“So what do you want?”
Bella sighed.
“I don’t know, Raan… I want my sister to be safe. We have dreams and we want our freedom that’s why we left our father’s house… And see where we ended up… I accept that i started feeling things for Alex but i am a normal girl from small town… I have dealt with my abusive father my whole life. Alexander sometimes scares me. I can’t trust him completely…. What if he turns abusive… It might not be the possibility but as a girl i have to worry about my safety… He is a mafia afterall and i can’t ignore the fact that he has already slapped me once.”
“I understand your concern, Bella… And as a girl i support you no matter how much I want you for my brother…”
Raan shook her head.
“He shouldn’t have kidnapped your sister to blackmail you.”
“Now, i can’t even escape because he has my sister.”
Bella sighed.
“He is manipulative… He makes me do those things which i don’t want.”
“You want to leave him?”
Raan asked sadly.
“I have to do it for myself… It’s unhealthy attractive and Alexander is keeping me forcefully. This is not healthy…”
She sighed.
“It might take another turn in the future.”
“I don’t want you to leave but, i agree with you…”
Raan agreed.
“I can’t win against Alexander… He will never let me go.”
She huffed.
“Then you have to tell Maa about it…. She will help you.”
Raan suggested.
“Really? Will she help me?”
Bella asked sitting straight.
“Yes, she knows everything about you and she will definitely help you… Infact she is the only one who can help you because Alexander won’t listen to anyone…”
Raan smiled.
“”Okay, can we call her now… He has taken my phone and i don’t have her number.”
Bella requested.
“Sure!”
She handed Bella her phone.
Bella dialled Anamika’s number and she smiled when she received it. She was about to say ‘hello’ but it was snatched away from her hand.
She gasped and looked at furious Alexander. He glared at her and crashed the phone on the wall.
“Are you fucking crazy? It was my phone.”
Raan yelled and rushed towards her phone.
Bella looked at Henry and he looked down in Guilt while mouthing ‘sorry’.
“What did I tell you?”
He jerked her forward by grabbing her arm. Bella gulped looking at his angry face.
