Bella opened the door with shaky hands and jasmine was behind her with candle holder to hit the intruder.

“Ma’am, i think you forgot your purse downstairs.”

The receptionist said and Bella sighed in relief.

“Thank you”

Bella smiled at her and closed the door.

Jasmine huffed and placed the candle holder on its place.

“Why were you scared?”

Bella asked Jasmine.

“I thought it’s thief…”

Jasmine shrugged.

“Why were you scared?”

“Nothing… It’s too late… Let’s sleep now…”

Bella replied and threw herself on the bed.

“I’ll leave the lights on”

Jasmine said.

“You can switch it off, Jasmine”

Bella said getting under the bedsheet.

Jasmine looked at her surprised.

“Aren’t you scared of the dark?”

Jasmine asked.

“Not anymore”

Bella smiled.

“How? Tell me everything”

Jasmine slide down beside her.

“Tomorrow… I am tired”

Bella switched off the lamp.

Bella and jasmine went out whole day. They enjoyed in amused park, did shopping, dine in fancy restaurants.

“I feel so good… We don’t have to worry about anything. There is no one to restrict us”

Jasmine exclaimed.

“I told you… Freedom is the key”

Bella smiled.

“Let’s eat ice cream”

They went to the ice cream parlor and Bella suddenly remembered how Alexander gave her huge tub of ice cream. Even during shopping, she was missing him.

“What happened? It will melt”

Jasmine said.

“I was thinking… How should we design our cafe?… It should be something creative.”

Bella asked.

“I was thinking that we can decorate it with theme… For example, Interior like game of thrones or vampire diaries or BTS… Or may be some other famous shows.”

Jasmine suggested.

“And i think we should buy it somewhere near school, college or office… It will be profitable.”

“Wow! Very smart.”

Bella gave her hifi.

“I have already talked to broker… Tomorrow we will go to see our apartment and shop…”

Jasmine held her hand.

“Thank you so much Bella… You are doing so much for me… You risked your life for all this. You are best sister in the world.”

Bella whined.

“I don’t want to cry now… No emotional talks today… Let’s go”

When they were getting out of the mall, she saw shooting game. Her face saddened when she remembered how Alexander won it for her.

“Bella, let’s go”

Jasmine said and Bella nodded.

It was evening, they went for a walk after keeping their shopping bags in their hotel room.

Jasmine noticed Bella is surprisingly silent otherwise she always have nonsense to talk. She crushed the dry leaf with her shoes and released a sigh like she is burdened with something.

“You fell for him, didn’t you?”

Jasmine asked and Bella’s head snapped towards her. She dragged Bella and made her sit on the bench in the park.

“You fell for him Bella?”

She sat beside her.

“I noticed you whole day… You were not that old Bella. You were lost…”

“I tried but i couldn’t help it… I told myself that he is married and we are not a match but it happened.”

Bella mumbled.

“Bella, you know it’s wrong… They are criminals. That man kidnapped you and forced to take his daughters place. You did it for money and it should have end it there… You can’t fall for a mafia.”

Jasmine looked at her worriedly.

“That too married one… Did that Valentino hurt you. Was he mean to you?”

“No… I don’t know why but he was nice to me… Like i told you that he was agreed for two million but then he gave me five… And he was acting weird around me.”

Bella shrugged.

“Are you sure, he didn’t have any hidden meaning behind it?”

Jasmine asked.

“I am sure he didn’t have any intention”

Bella replied.

“Bella you are naive… You think everyone is happy and good like you…”

Jasmine scolded.

“As if you know how to read people?”

Bella mocked.

“Yeah, but i am not stupid like you… I stay away from problems and you invite problems.”

“I don’t know where did I went wrong Jasmine…”

Bella sighed.

“He was so gentle and good with me… He has best family, his father is so loving and his mother is awesome… I became friend with his sister… He made me feel special, he did everything for me.”

“Then?”

Jasmine raised her eyebrows.

“Then___”

Bella paused knowing Jasmine will kill her if she told her that she slept with Alexander. But then she flinched when she heard that deep familiar voice.

“Then why did you left?”

She gasped and quickly stood up when she heard Alexander. Her face turned horrified.

“Alex?”

She whispered. Her nightmare turned into reality.

Jasmine looked at her worriedly.

“Please, don’t hurt my sister… She is innocent”

Jasmine said trying to hide Bella behind her.

Alexander looked at them with cold expressions and it was enough to terrify them. There were no people around them.

“Jasmine please run”

Bella looked at her.

“Are you crazy… I am not leaving you this time”

Jasmine said stubbornly.

“Jasmine please”

Bella pleaded desperately.

“Bella I___”

Jasmine’s eyes widened when Bella’s body fell at her feet.

“BELLA!”

She screamed.
