Nervous
Author's POV.
Bella was sitting quietly beside Alexander while he was driving. She was feeling awkward after hugging and kissing him on the cheek.
On other hand his mind was planning evil games, thinking about how to change game and manipulate the situation.
"When are we going to your parents house?"
She tried to break awkward silence.
"Tonight, for dinner"
He replied.
"Who else is coming?"
She asked.
"My sister, Raajnandini"
He answered.
"Should I be scared of your father?"
Bella asked nervously, as she is going to meet mafia king for the first time.
"Why?"
He asked, he knows that she is scared and nervous but he wanted her to talk.
"You know because I left without informing n all those stupid things."
She mumbled.
"He doesn't know about it... Don't worry"
He assured and she sighed in relief.
She wanted to ask more about his parents but she was scared that he will be suspicious.
"And your mother?... Is she still mad at me?"
She asked.
"Why don't you ask her by yourself..."
He replied and she sighed while hugging her Doraemon.
They reached home and Bella arranged her stuff in the closet which she has purchased today.
She frowned when she saw extra bag and opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw same handbag which she liked.
She went outside to see Alexander.
"why did you buy it?... I didn't ask for it?"
She asked.
"Because you wanted it"
He shrugged.
"But it's too expensive..."
She said looking at the price tag.
"It's more than my whole shopping bill"
"Offcourse it's expensive..."
He took the bag from her and looked at the price tag.
"Because it's from limited addition... You have a good choice."
"But it's too much... I don't need it"
She mumbled looking at the bag. She couldn't understand why would he purchase a bag of $3000.
"Get used to these kind of things because you the wife of Alexander Marino."
He Smirked and walked away after kissing her on cheek.
Bella looked at him flabbergasted and went to the washroom to freshen up. She washed her hair and her straightened curls got its pattern back. She groomed her curly crown and wore blue knee length dress.
"Ohh my babies"
She kissed her hair. She is in love with her curls, she was crying when they straightened her hair.
They told her to straighten it again but she thinks that no one would care about Amanda's hairstyle.
She walked outside and saw Alexander talking on the phone. She stood there looking at him. She couldn't understand why would Amanda behave so badly when she has a husband like Alexander. He is rich, handsome and he has been gentleman too. Bella couldn't understand what's the problem with Amanda.
But she doesn't know that Alexander is behaving good with Bella not Amanda. He never treat Amanda like this.
Alexander finished his call and turned around. His heart skipped a beat when he saw her sexy curls resting on her shoulders. No doubt she looks bold and sexy in curls and she definitely knows how to carry it.
"Bella"
He breathed out and her eyes snapped towards him.
She gulped as her stomach churned thinking he caught her.
"Short from of Bellissima which means beautiful in Italian... I hope you won't mind if i call you Bella ."
He said, he likes her name and doesn't want to call her Amanda.
"O_Okay"
She gulped trying to calm her erotic Heartbeats down.
He walked towards her and she looked up to his perfectly handsome face. Her stomach filled with butterflies when she looked into his amber eyes.
"You are looking beautiful."
He leaned down and her hair smelled like lavender.
Bella gulped and clutched on her dress when his lips got closer to hers. But he kissed her cheek and stepped back.
"Let's go"
He said and she looked at him confused. More like she was disappointed that he didn't do it.
He walked out with smirk and she frowned at him. His touch was confusing to her.
They went to his parents house and Bella's mouth dropped when she saw that mansion.
"What is it? Do you guys have mines of diamonds or what?..."
She looked at Alexander amused.
"No, we have rivers of blood..."
He smirked making her gulp.
"Let's go inside"
He wrapped his arm around the waist.
"No, stop"
She said and he looked at her confused.
Bella took a deep breath.
"I am nervous... What if your mother is still mad at me... And what if she has complained about me to your father..."
She Panicked.
"Don't tell me, you bring me here to kill... It's a trap... You evil man..."
Alexander slapped his forehead listening to her words.
"It's nothing like that... Are you crazy?"
He frowned.
"I am not crazy... You are acting weird..."
She accused.
"Why would you take your wife to the shopping whom you don't like... You are being nice to me just like butcher does to scapegoat... I am not going inside, i want to go back..."
"If i want to kill you then I'll do it without thinking twice..."
He said making her look at him.
"I won't be nice with you... You would have been in the basement, battered in your own blood. It's nothing like whatever you are thinking... So calm down and let's go, they are waiting for us."
He handed her bag which had wine bottle in it.
"Give this to dad, he will be happy."
Bella looked at him suspiciously.
"Then why are you holding me like you don't want me to escape?"
He rubbed his forehead.
"I am holding you by waist like every husband does... We have to act like a romantic couple in front of everyone... Do you watch too much dramas?"
He frowned.
"No, i read novels..."
She said proudly.
"You mean you read dramas instead of watching?"
He asked and she nodded with grin. He shook his head in disbelief.
"No wonder you are drama queen."
She gasped offended.
"Excuse me___"
"Shut up"
He said and dragged her inside by waist.
Bella looked around while walking inside, the architecture was beautiful. It was calm and peaceful everywhere, she was already in love with huge garden and big fountain.
First thing she saw after entering the living room was huge painting of Anamika. It was incredible, like she herself is standing there. Bella instantly fell in love with the work of artists. She looked around and saw two more paintings of Anamika.
"Why her paintings are everywhere?"
Bella asked Alexander.
"Because dad wants them to be..."
He replied.
"How romantic... He is in so much love"
Bella smiled.
"Hmm, or may be in obsession"
He mumbled shaking his head.
"What did you say?"
Bella asked as she couldn't hear him properly.
"Nothing"
He said and looked behind her when he saw his parents.
"Turn around, they are behind you"
Bella gulped nervously when he said that. Her hands started sweating with anxiety.
