24. Lie!
Author’s POV
Alexander’s phone rang and Bella saw the caller ID as it was in front of her eyes.
As soon as she saw it, color of her face drained out. She looked at Alexander with terrified face.
‘Amanda’ she saw the bold letters.
Alexander’s hold around her waist tightened as he received the call.
“Hello”
“Ho bisogno del tuo aiuto… Penso che i tuoi rivali siano qui e io sono il loro obiettivo… Papa non risponde alle mie chiamate…” (I need your help… I think your rivals are here and I am their target… Dad isn’t picking up my calls…)
She said.
“Avresti dovuto pensarci prima di uscire da casa mia… Non chiamarmi piu” (You Should have thought about it before stepping out of my house… Don’t call me again)
He replied and disconnected the call.
Bella didn’t understand what he said in Italian but she was shaken by the name, Amanda.
“It was my business partner, why are you so tensed… Are you jealous?”
He teased.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Bella sighed in relief when he lied to her.
“No why would I be jealous..”
She shrugged.
“So is it okay if I cheat on you?”
He raised his eyebrows.
Bella glared at him.
“Do it… Then i am going to tell Maa about it and then I’ll watch the show with cheese popcorn…”
She grinned evilly.
“So you know my weakness”
He rolled his eyes.
“Yes… By the way why do you fear your mother. She is so sweet…”
Bella asked confused.
“Because you have only seen her sweet side… You should see her when she is angry.”
He sighed.
“But she is your mother.”
She said confused.
He chuckled.
“Baby, you are are saying this because you don’t have Indian mother… She will love you with her life but still you will fear her the most…”
He shrugged.
“It’s fun actually… You won’t understand it unless you experience it…”
“Really?”
She asked amused.
“So your father is afraid of her too?”
Alexander Smirked.
“He never raises his voice in front of her, he never kills anyone in front of her… Well, she is the only person whom my father fear…”
“Interesting”
She said amused.
“Okay… Raajnandini will come here today. She will show you the dresses, choose any one for you… We have to attend the business meeting in few days.”
He informed.
“Okay”
She nodded.
“Good girl, now say goodbye to me like a good wife. I have important meeting today”
He smiled.
“Good wife?”
She grinned and stood up from his lap.
She cleared her throat in dramatic way and fixed his tie.
“Take care of yourself… Eat on time… Miss me and don’t be late”
She said and he chuckled.
“And one more thing, don’t you dare look at your beautiful partners. No lipstick marks on shirt, no hair on neck and I shouldn’t be smelling another perfume on you… Otherwise you will sleep on the couch today”
“Damn”
He laughed.
“Now it feels like I have a wife”
He kissed her cheek.
“Call me if you need anything”
With that he left.
Bella smiled at the feeling. It feels good that someone is thinking about you whole day. She liked the feeling.

“So this is the one?… Should I order it”
Raajnandini asked as Bella selected the Dress for her.
“Yes”
Bella answered.
“Good choice…”
She said impressed and placed her phone aside.
“Umm… Raajnandini can I ask you something?”
Bella asked hesitatingly.
“You can call me Raan… My friends call me with this Name.”
She replied.
“And of course you can ask me anything.”
“Alex was talking about his better half… Do you have any idea about it”
Bella asked.
Raan chuckled.
“He must be talking about his twin brother, Dominick…”
“Ohh… You guys have brother. So it means he looks exactly like Alex.”
Bella said.
“He must be very close to Alex…”
“Yes, they were inseparable…”
Raan sighed.
“Were?”
Bella raised her eyebrows.
“Yep, Dominick had a fight with dad and left us… Alex tried everything to bring him back but Dominick is not ready…”
She sighed.
“I miss those days, man… Dominick don’t understand it. Egoistic bastard..”
“He will understand with time don’t worry”
Bella assured.
“No one can stay away from such a sweet family.”
She smiled.
“Hope so…”
Bella saw her texting two different people.
“Just curious… Please don’t mind if i offend you, because I don’t want to loose a good friend like you.”
Bella asked nervously.
“But why are you sending love messages to two different person?…”
Raan smiled.
“Because I am in love with two men”
Bella gasped.
“Oh my god! And they don’t have any problem?”
“Nope, actually they wanted it like this… It was weird for me too but then i realized that I need both of them…”
She said with shy smile.
“They are everything which i need in my life… It’s a long story, I’ll tell you everything…”
“Wow!”
Bella said impressed as she told her everything.
“You have two dicks…”
She said and they laughed together.
“But isn’t it illegal…”
“Babe… Polyandry and polygamy is very common in mafia world… It’s nothing”
Raan assured.
“It’s not common in our family”
They heard Alexander and flinched with his angry tone.
