Author's POV

Bella was sitting silently on his lap while he was holding her possessively against his body.

She was still in disbelief that he killed Amanda in front of her. She couldn't stand straight to see Valentino's reaction because she fainted.

Her fear for him got more prominent. She has no idea how to deal with him.

She flinched when he placed ice pack on her neck.

"This will help with your neck pain... I shot you will syringe."

He said.

He looked at her and sighed.

"I never wanted this... I thought we could stay happily but you are making it difficult Bella..."

She closed her eyes.

"You want to leave me and i won't let you go... You are mine."

"I want to meet Jasmine..."

She mumbled.

"She is fine"

He replied with straight face.

"I don't trust you."

She looked at him and hissed when her neck hurt.

"You will see her when you will behave like a good girl."

He replied.

"What do you want now... I solved your problem, I am not married anymore."

Bella couldn't believe that he can say this so easily. No remorse, no guilt, nothing.

"You killed your wife, Alex... Don't you feel anything."

"She was a bitch anyway... I always wanted to kill her."

He shrugged.

They heard knock on the door and two maids entered with their dinner.

They didn't even look at them, they did their work and left without a word.

"Come on let's eat."

He patted her back. She got up from his lap and sat on the bed.

"I am not hungry."

She laid on the bed in fatal position.

"You are empty stomach since last night... Get up and eat."

He stood from the couch.

Bella closed her eyes silently and he sighed. He sat beside her and caressed her head.

"You have to eat..."

He grabbed her arm and made her sit.

"I am a son of Indian mother, Bella... Don't try me."

Bella looked at him with frown.

"What is it supposed to mean?"

She asked.

"Have got my ass whopped while throwing tantrums..."

He said.

"Very nice."

She fake smiled at him.

"But I am not hungry and i won't eat without Jasmine... I won't eat without knowing her condition."

"Fine, I'll show you her recent pictures... Will you eat then?"

He asked.

Bella nodded eagerly. At this moment it was enough.

Alexander unlocked his phone and showed her the pictures. Jasmine was sitting on the luxury couch. She was wearing nice dress and was looking calm. Her background was looking very good and rich. She wasn't in the basement. Only thing which was weird that, her long hair was open like curtains and not tied. She never leaves her hair open.

"Look, she is perfectly fine"

Alexander locked his phone.

"Where is she?"

Bella asked curiously.

"Finish your food and then I'll tell you."

He conditioned.

"I am really not hungry, Alex... I can't forget that blood... It's making me nauseous."

She said with sad face.

"Open your mouth... You will be fine."

He put spoon on her lips.

Bella opened her mouth and ate it, she took the spoon from him and started eating.

"I haven't eat since you left me."

He said picking up his spoon.

Bella looked at him shocked.

"Two days?"

"Two days!"

He chuckled.

"Why?"

Her face saddened.

"How can eat when you are running around without security"

He replied.

"I don't have enemies like you."

She mumbled.

"Can't tell this to my heart"

He looked at her.

Bella hurriedly finished her food and looked at him.

"Where is Jasmine?"

She asked.

Alexander looked at her amused, she finished in less than five minutes.

He didn't answer and finished his food first. Bella looked at him betrayed.

"You promised you will tell me"

She whined.

He wiped his mouth with tissue and looked at her.

"She is with luca"

He declared.

"Luca? Why?"

Bella frowned.

"Because she will be safe there... You know luca, he is the only man whom I can trust with her."

He stated.

"She is safe with him."

"But he is criminal too... How can you say that he won't hurt her?"

Bella accused.

"Luca is not a criminal, Bella... He is businessman, not mafia..."

He sighed.

"But he works for you... He is your right hand man..."

Bella countered.

"He is my friend... He sometimes helps me with deals and turn my black money into white... As a friend he helps me in many works but he has never killed anyone..."

Alexander assured.

"But he said, he kill sometimes."

Bella said.

"No he doesn't, Bella... Luca has never killed anyone..."

He said confidently.

"And he will take care of Jasmine and she is safe with him. She will stay there until you learn to behave like a good girl and not a brat..."

"Ohh really?..."

She sat on her knees and looked at him madly.

"I am not a brat... My behaviour is justified by your actions... You know what, I am going to complain Father in law about you... He was going to kill Dominick because he had doubt that he is abusing her... What he will do to you if he heard what you did with Amanda.... You abused and killed her..."

"I didn't abuse her..."

Alexander said frustratingly while standing in front of her while she was kneeling on the bed.

"You did... I saw handprint on her neck."

Bella accused.

"Yes, I grabbed her throat but that's it."

He said madly.

"Liar"

She yelled.

"What If i proved myself Innocent?"

He challenged.

"You can't... You will make up another lie."

She shook her head.
