Bellissima

Author’s POV

Bella gulped and stood up from the floor while dusting her clothes, she was sitting between two chairs in living room. She hold kitten close to her heart as she saw Massimo standing in front of her.

“Father in law”

She said, praying that he didn’t hear her conversation.

“I think this house has plenty of chairs for you to sit on the Dirty floor.”

He said in his usual cold voice.

Bella frowned and looked at the floor which was shining.

“It’s pretty clean… Not dirty”

She said confused.

He rubbed his forehead and sighed annoyed.

“Where is Alexander?”

He asked.

Bella sighed in relief knowing he didn’t hear anything, otherwise he wouldn’t be talking to her like this.

“I don’t know… Out of town, didn’t tell me exactly where.”

She replied.

“He gave you file… I need that”

He demanded.

“Ohh… That blue one with black stripes…”

She smiled as she remembered.

“I don’t know the fucking color, girl… Bring it to me.”

He said glaring at her.

“Okay, okay… Hold Lilly, I’ll bring it…”

She held her kitten in front of him.

“What the fuck is this? Keep it down”

He scowled looking at the kitten.

“How mean father in law… She is so pretty, look at her brown eyes…”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She looked at him offended.

“Give me that file, right now”

He gritted.

“Hold her, I told you I will give it to you… See i can’t keep her down, she has injured her leg… Please!”

She gave him puppy eyes.

He huffed frustratingly and grabbed the kitten in one hand. Bella’s eyes widened as she saw that small kitten disappearing in that big hand.

“Do me a favor and don’t crush it…”

She said and ran upstairs.

“She is crazy”

He mumbled and looked at the kitten. It was really pretty.

Bella grabbed the file which Alexander gave her and suddenly she heard loud curse. It was Massimo.

“What the fuck”

She ran downstairs and her eyes literally popped out of their sockets.

“TAKE THIS SHIT”

he growled at her.

Bella quickly took the kitten from him which peed on his expensive suit.

“Fuck, i have important meeting”

He growled angrily and everyone was standing there terrified. Maids, guards and Bella.

Bella felt guilty.

“I am sorry”

“SHUT UP”

He growled and stepped forward, Bella quickly covered her face fearing that he will hit her.

Those memories are still fresh in her mind.

FLASHBACK

“Father please, I want to keep it… Can I keep it… Please”

Bella ran behind him as he walked towards the main door with puppy in his hand.

“Bella stop it”

Her mother warned her.

“Mom please… I want that”

Bella pleaded.

“Father please… Don’t hurt him”

She ran towards him as he threw that puppy on the ground making it squeal.

“Isn’t it enough that i am keeping you in this house and feeding you… Don’t bring this shit here again”

He yelled at her.

She looked at him angrily.

“Why would you do that to this innocent life… Aren’t you afraid of your god for this?”

She yelled at him.

The next thing she felt is sharp stung on her cheek and sudden fall on the floor.

He slapped her, so hard that she saw blackness for a second.

Flashback ended

Massimo’s eyes softened as he saw her reaction. He wasn’t going to hurt her.

Bella looked at him with watery eyes as those memories scratched her heart again.

“I am sorry.”

She mumbled again with timid voice.

He couldn’t understand what to do next, he ordered maid to give him Alexander’s suit and walked away.

Bella wiped her tears and looked at her kitten.

“Lilly why would you do that… Bad girl”

She scolded.

Bella sat in the garden whole day, she was afraid that he might be still mad at her. She felt bad the way he yelled at her. Everyone was watching them.

Her eyes snapped towards the door when heard Alexander’s voice. She quickly stood up and looked at him with watery eyes.

“What happened?”

He frowned looking at her.

“Lilly peed on your father, he was angry…”

She mumbled.

“He yelled at me.”

“Who is Lilly?”

He asked confused.

“Kitten”

She answered with sob.

Alexander pulled her in a hug. He knows that his father can be very sometimes even if he doesn’t want to. He has naturally rough voice which scares people and he yelled at her means it must have scared her. He makes big men wet their pants, she is just innocent girl.

Bella wrapped her hands around him tightly letting his scent sooth her. She felt safe in his embrace.

“It’s okay, he didn’t mean it…”

He assured.

“Did he hurt your Lilly?”

“No, he didn’t… But he hates me now”

She broke the hug and looked at him.

“He won’t… I’ll talk to him, don’t worry”

He sighed.

Bella frowned when she saw cut on his lip which was turning blue.

“God! Who hit you?”

Her eyes widened.
