47. Three months!
Bella’s pov
I felt his presence behind me. The way he was talking, i don’t think there is anyone else who can come too close to me.
He cleared my doubt when he sat behind me. His large hands snaked around me and he placed me on his lap.
Sometimes I feel scared that how easily he can manipulate and handle my body. He is so big.
His hard muscles mocked my soft skin.
“Do you know how to swim?”
He asked, placing his chin on my shoulder.
“Yes”
I replied. He must be thinking that if i don’t know how to swim then i shouldn’t be sitting beside deep pool.
“I am amused! How did your orthodox father let you swim in short clothes.”
He asked, indeed in amused voice.
My heart clenched when i heard about him. I hate that man.
“I lied about extra lectures and joined swimming club in the school…”
I mumbled.
“He was so busy in his real children that he forgot about this illegitimate child…. It was good, anyway.”
God! I hate how pathetic i sound.
He exhaled deeply. I don’t know what he thinks about it. He must be thinking i need sympathy or something. I don’t want to act whiny.
“So you are trouble since the beginning… This isn’t quality you have opted now.”
He chuckled.
I tilted my head and glared at him.
“Then why are you hugging this trouble.”
He smiled.
“Because i love this trouble.”
It did something to me, my heart and my sanity.
Whenever he says something about ‘us’ it makes me surprisingly excited.
I have never been in a serious relationship. I was about to get serious with that jerk but i ended up breaking his skull instead.
So Alexander might be the first one whom I am taking seriously. That too because he himself is taking these things seriously.
Damn! This man kidnapped me because he wants to make me fall in love. I am living the filmy life and it’s not as exciting as they show it in TV.
It’s so scary and worrisome.
Getting trapped by the man like Alexander is actually a nightmare. Mafia fucking prince.
Sometimes I wonder, what he saw in me. I am average girl with lot of clumsiness and troubles.
I don’t know where to talk and how to talk, i blabber rubbish and because of that my communication skills teacher has made me look dumb many times.
I don’t mind though but Alexander can get any girl he wants. Far more better and smart than me.
Smart as in studies, in practical life i am smart too.
“I know you don’t trust me”
He turned me around, effortlessly!
“Good!”
I replied. I sometimes love how he replies to my nonsense. He doesn’t get angry or beat me___
No! Don’t think about it.
“Shut up and listen to me.”
He scolded me like a child.
“I think i should be more open to you. We haven’t cleared it yet.”
“What you want to clear?”
I waved my hands.
“You kidnapped me, that’s it”
“Because i love you”
He stated.
“Ohh and?”
I looked at him for more.
He closed his eyes and sighed.
“You don’t trust me that i love you?”
He asked.
“You realised it very soon”
I rolled my eyes.
“Why?”
He looked at me.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
I exclaimed.
“Look at you… You are like a diamond who has been kept in showroom and i am like___”
I trailed off.
“Like what?… See i can’t even compare us… You have different standards, your lifestyle is different… People around you are different…”
I sighed.
“Who am I? What’s my identity? You know i have nothing to give you…. Then how can I believe that you are giving me the most special place in your life.”
“Class doesn’t matter”
He stated.
“It does Alex… You know it does, atleast in your society…”
I replied.
“We just say that it doesn’t matter and all but that’s not the reality… Everything matters.”
“I don’t give a fuck about society.”
His voice grew angry.
“I am living in this fucking high class society since childhood and trust me everything is fake… Everything.”
He turned frustrated.
“Yes you are right, everything is diamond… You will see sparkles from the distance but when you will go closer, you will realise that it’s all illusion. There is nothing but darkness… No one is happy… These high class people are living lies… And My relationship with Amanda was one of that lie…”
“You married her by your own will”
I replied.
“Yes I did…”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He nodded.
“But it was just a business deal… I had to marry her because my brother refused… I thought it doesn’t matter. She was beautiful, classy and knew how to act around people but then i realised that i am missing important part of my life.”
His voice saddened.
“Whenever I used to look at my parents, i thought why i can’t get what they have… How did they got that… Someone special to rely on, to look at, to share everything… Amanda wasn’t that girl… But it changed when you entered my life.”
He confessed and my heart wiggled in my chest.
“Rebel!”
He said impressed.
“Carefree, bold… Not scared of me… Your happy nature attracted me. That hint of craziness and guts to do anything impressed me… You have suffered from so much but you didn’t let it dim your spark.”
He smiled bitterly.
“You came to my life like a wake up call… I was about to ignore it because i was already stuck with Amanda but you left and i realised that i can’t let you go…”
I was looking at him with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.
“I know you have no reason to love me back.”
He stated. At least he is aware of the situation.
“I know i am a criminal… I live with violance and you are scared that i might become like your father…. But that’s not the truth… I can’t hurt you.”
“He is not my father.”
It came out rude.
“Yeah, okay i am sorry.”
he nodded in understanding.
“And i am ready to prove it to you…”
I looked at him confused. How is he going to prove me.
“I know i have fucked up so many things.”
He licked his lip and my eyes darted towards it.
He looks so fucking sexy while doing it. Fuck, focus Bella. Serious conversation is going on.
“How?”
I cleared my throat dragging away my eyes from his lips.
“Three months!”
He stated and i scrunched my eyebrows.
“Give me three months.”
“And?”
I raised my eyebrows.
“And i will prove it to you that i seriously love you… In these three months if you feel that i might turn out like that man then you can leave me… I will let you go and i will give you back your sister unharmed…”
He stated.
“Is this a business deal?”
I asked madly.
“No!”
He shook his head.
“It’s a time limit for me, so i won’t take you as a granted…”
I looked at him suspiciously looking for any mischief but there wasn’t, he was serious.
“You will let me go?”
He nodded.
“If you won’t fall for me”
It’s not a bad idea. It’s just three months then i can leave. What will change in three months anyway, it’s too easy.
“Okay!”
I said and he smiled.
“So you won’t run!”
He stated.
“Not for three months!”
I nodded.
His smile widened.
“Excellent! Now it’s time for punishment for the stunt you pulled yesterday.”
He spanked my butt making me jump on his lap.
What punishment?
“You just said that you won’t hurt me”
I looked at him as he stood up while holding me in his arms.
“And you think every punishment includes beating and hurting?”
He chuckled as he took me upstairs.
Yeah, because that’s what I have dealt with.
But what is he going to do with me?
