Panick and shock!
Author's POV
Bella woke up with painful groan. Her body was warm and covered in something. She opened her eyes and saw everything blur for a minute. She blinked her eyes multiple times and then her vision cleared.
She looked around and her eyes widened when she realized she is in Alexander's bedroom. She sat up with loud gasp.
"Ahhh"
She quickly grabbed her neck when it stung.
Bella looked at herself, she was still in her shorts and crop top. Her heart started racing as she started thinking about the worst.
She looked around scared and saw Alexander by the window. His large frame was almost hiding the window, black shirt with folded sleeves and muscular hands in pockets. His back was facing him but she can tell that he is mad. Very mad and it's not good.
She slowly got up from the bed and looked at him cautiously.
"Where is my sister?"
She asked worriedly.
Still he didn't turn towards her.
Bella's eyes turned glossy thinking about Jasmine.
"She is innocent... It was my fault. I did everything please don't hurt her."
She sobbed when she remembered what he did to that man in the basement.
Alexander turned around and looked at her. She was right, he is furious.
"Why did you left?"
He emphasized on each word with strict voice.
Bella frowned thinking,
'isn't he going to ask me who am I? How long I was acting his wife? Why I did that? Instead he is asking why she left.'
"What do you mean?"
She asked nervously.
"You think i am a fool?"
He said and she flinched back.
"You will come to my house as my wife and i will believe you... From the very first day, i knew that you are Bella... I know everything about you."
He declared.
Bella stood there stunned realizing she was making herself fool all these days.
'It means he did all those things for Bella and not Amanda... Everything!'
"I was waiting for you to confess"
He said.
"Alex, I am sorry... Valentino kidnapped me because i look like his daughter and demanded that i have to take her place... I had no choice but he offered me money so i thought why not. I needed that money... But after that i didn't do anything intentionally... I never wanted to betray you. I tried to control myself around you but it happened... I am sorry..."
She pleaded.
Alexander stepped towards her and she quickly stepped back.
Alexander didn't like it. He couldn't understand why she is afraid of him.
"I know Bella... Why did you left instead of telling me the truth and confessing your feelings?"
He asked.
"What feelings?"
Bella looked away in denial.
"You like me"
He declared and Bella gasped when he pulled her closer by arm.
"You know that you like me... You want me as much I want you..."
"No i don't want you"
Bella wiggled in his arms but he refused to let her go.
He frowned at her.
"What changed Bella?... Why are you behaving like this?... We made love two days ago."
"It was mistake... I don't want you, I don't want anything from you... Let me go, please."
She struggled.
He jerked her forward with her arms.
"What the fuck is your problem?... If you are doing this because of Amanda then let me tell you that bitch will be soon out of my life..."
"Let me go"
She whined.
"Tell me why?"
He demanded.
"Because you are a criminal"
She yelled at his face and He looked at her shocked.
"I don't trust you... I can't trust you..."
"You know me"
He looked at her heartbroken.
She nodded.
"I thought but i was wrong about you... I can't be with you... We have different world..."
She jerked her hand back from his hold and stepped back.
"I can't love a man like you."
"What changed your mind?"
He asked suspiciously.
"Amanda said something to you?"
Bella shook her head and started running towards the door.
"Bella don't you dare step out of this room..."
He growled angrily.
Bella didn't listen and ran downstairs.
"Jasmine!"
She yelled for her sister.
"Jasmine where are you?"
She stopped in the living room.
Alexander closed his eyes frustratingly. He couldn't understand why she is behaving like this and running away from him.
"Bella, stop it..."
He warned.
"I need my fucking answers... You can't leave me after whatever happened that night..."
He slammed her against the pillar.
"I told you, you are bounded to me now."
Bella tried to push him back.
"I am not your slave, Honorable Mafia prince."
She said madly.
He closed his eyes frustratingly.
"Will you tell me what's fucking wrong?"
"Give me my sister"
She demanded.
"She is safe and fine... You will meet her once you answer my all questions."
He conditioned.
"I don't owe you anything... I want Jasmine right now..."
She demanded.
"You owe me so many things, Darling and trust me I'll take everything from you."
He stated.
"You entered in my house with your own will but you can't leave without my permission..."
Bella looked at him madly.
"Let me go, please..."
"It's too late now..."
He shook his head.
"Look dad what is she doing?"
They heard Amanda's voice.
Bella was caged against the wall while Alexander was holding her captive.
"What is this Bella? Did I pay you for this?"
Valentino looked at her with disbelief.
"You betrayed me."
Bella looked at Amanda with horrified face.
"What did you do to her?"
She mumbled in disbelief.
Amanda was looking like she is beaten very badly. Her one wrist is plastered, one side of face has turned blue like someone has punched her.
Her neck has ugly mark of hand print. One eyes is swollen, she is looking miserable.
"It's all your fault Bitch... He did this to me because of you..."
Amanda cried.
"See how badly he hurt me."
Bella looked at Alexander with shocked face.
"I think this will answer your questions... I don't want abusive man in my life."
She pushed him away.
"How can you trust her?"
Alexander said madly.
"Because I can see it"
Bella stepped back from him.
"You really think i can do this?"
He asked offended.
"Yes, I know you can do this... You slapped me thinking i am Amanda... You hurt people and you beat your own wife."
Bella accused while Amanda was smirking.
"I begged him so much dad... I pleaded but he didn't listen to me... He pushed me from the stairs."
Amanda sobbed.
Alexander sighed rubbing his forehead.
"This bitch."
He mumbled frustratingly.
"You should be grateful that you are alive."
He growled at her.
"Look at yourself"
Bella looked at him disgusted.
"Fine..."
Alexander glared at Bella.
"You want to see my bad side... Then Fine... I will show you how this criminal can treat you."
He challenged.
"You will regret running from here, Bella... And you will not meet your sister until you realise your mistakes..."
Bella looked at him shocked.
"You can't do this"
Her eyes turned glossy.
"I can do more than this... Don't provoke me"
He spat madly.
"And i dare you to step out of this house... You will get dead body of your sister."
Bella's mouth dropped in disbelief.
"You are doing nothing but proving me right about you."
She said hatefully.
"I don't care... If you don't understand in a good way then i have no choice."
He replied.
"You won't hurt my sister"
She said firmly.
"You can't!"
"You want to see what I can do"
He Smirked taking out his gun.
"Don't challenge me again."
He said and shot Amanda straight in her head.
