Author's POV
Bella woke up with heavy head and Groaned in pain. Her neck was hurting.
She looked around with lazy eyes and saw dimly lit room, she could smell rusty walls and rotten corners. She scrunched her nose in disgust.
Last night's memories washed over her and she panicked. She tried to move but then she realised that she is tied down to the metal chair. Her hair was messy and she was sweating. It didn't feel like an American climate.
"Help!"
She screamed on top of her lungs and started struggling.
After few minutes door of the room got opened and she looked at the man who entered inside.
He was old man with blonde hair and blue eyes. But he was wearing expensive clothes and was looking powerful.
Bella quickly closed her eyes when he turned on the lights. She blinked her eyes to handle the intensity of lights.
The man looked at her and smiled, his eyes wondered on her face in admiration.
"Bellissima" (beautiful)
Bella didn't understand what he said but he has strong foreign accent.
"Who are you? Let me go... Now!"
She demanded in brave voice.
"scorre nel sangue, vedo" (It runs in a blood, I see)
He chuckled.
"Sono felice che tu non sia diventata come quella vita bassa" (I am glad you didn't become like that low life)
"Who are you?"
She yelled.
"Voice down little girl, don't make me disciple you"
He warned and she looked at him angrily.
"I am the mafia boss, i don't know how to be gentle."
She gulped when he said that he is a mafia boss.
She couldn't understand why would they kidnap her like this and why mafia boss himself is talking to her.
Bella is smart enough not to anger him, she doesn't want to die so soon.
"What do you want from me?"
She asked.
He smiled.
"Smart... Straight to the point, yeah!"
He chuckled and she scowled.
"Well... Bella I want you to do something for me..."
He demanded and sat in front of her on the chair.
"And why would I do anything for you?"
She asked.
He Smirked making wrinkles around his lips prominent.
"I have taken care of that too..."
"Listen mister... I am not going to do any dirty work for you so let me go..."
She demanded.
"Okay, so i think you don't love your sister..."
He sighed dramatically and her eyes widened.
"Jasmine!"
She panicked.
"Yes Jasmine... Such a sweet girl. But don't worry she is safe at her home. I haven't touched her yet but as I said I won't be gentle..."
He said.
"No, don't hurt her."
Her eyes watered. Jasmine is the only one who is dear to Bella and he has hit the weak nerve.
"Then be a good girl and listen to me... It's not something dirty, i know you are thinking like that but that's not the case here. I have other girls for that."
He said.
"Then what is it?"
She frowned.
"You have to take my daughter's place..."
He declared and she frowned.
"What? Your daughter's place?"
She asked confused.
He switched on the button and big picture of a girl appeared on the wall in front of Bella. She looked at the picture in utter shock. That girl was looking exactly like Bella, only difference was she has ginger straight hair and green eyes while Bella has blonde curly hair and blue eyes.
"What the fuck!"
She mumbled looking at her doppelganger.
"She is my daughter Amanda Valentino... She is married to Alexander Marino... You have to take her place until I find her and bring her back..."
He informed.
"Why we are alike?"
Bella asked confused and He looked away.
"Destiny may be"
He sighed.
"I don't know her, I don't know how she behave, her nature... I don't know anything... And her husband will catch me in few minutes... You said it's not a dirty work, what if her husband tried to make love to his wife..."
She asked.
"You don't have to worry about it. My team will train you for that and you don't need to worry about Alexander, they don't have that normal husband and wife relationship so you are safe... He won't touch you... It's a matter of few days, as soon as I get Amanda, you will come back..."
He replied.
"Who is Alexander?"
She asked.
"Mafia prince"
He declared.
"Ohh, hell no!"
Bella shook her head furiously.
"Bella, you will do it if you want to see your sister alive"
He threatened.
Bella closed her eyes frustratingly.
"What if he kills me... Why don't you call your daughter Mr. Valentino."
She asked.
"He won't... Marino's don't hurt family... You will be safe... You just have to act."
He sighed.
"Fine, I'll give you 50,000 dollars for this work..."
Bella looked at him shocked. She always wanted to earn enough money so She can leave that house with Jasmine. She wanted to live a free life. It will be great chance for her but work is risky.
"1 million!"
She demanded and now he looked at her shocked.
"I shouldn't be surprised."
He shook his head.
"I'll give you two million... But you won't fuck up anything."
He demanded.
Bella gasped when he said that. It will change her whole life. She can make their lives better. She can leave her toxic family.
"Fine... I'll do it. But you have to promise my safety. You won't hurt Jasmine and you will find your daughter as soon as possible."
She said. She has no idea why is he offering her so much money.
"Good"
He sighed in relief.
"I am going to free you, don't act smart"
He warned and she nodded.
He released her hands and winced when she moved her sore muscles.
"Why only Jasmine, Bella?"
He asked looking at her.
"She is my only family"
Bella answered rubbing her hands.
"They don't treat you good?"
He looked at her with weird face and she frowned.
"Why do you care, not like you are treating me like princess."
Bella said and stood up.
He sighed and stood up. He led her outside and gave her to his team.
They did complete makeover of her. Bella cried when they changed her hair colour and straighten it. She loves her curly hair. They gave her lenses and trained her to act like Amanda.
"Why wear this... I should go nacked"
Bella mocked when she saw revealing dress which was only hiding her private parts.
"Ma'am please, it's her style."
Designer Said.
"No one gives a fuck, man... Give me something else to wear not this shredded piece of cloth."
She threw that dress away.
They gave her another gown to wear which was less revealing and she wore that.
Bella looked at the mirror and didn't like her look at all, she was looking like Amanda. It was still hard for her to believe that two complete strangers can look alike.
She was very nervous, they were making her ready for the party. She have to go there and live like Amanda which is very difficult because after training she realised that Amanda is a evil bitch. She can't be like that. And not to mention that her mafia prince will be another threat.
"Do you guys know anything about Alexander Marino?"
She asked them.
"Whole Italy knows about him"
One girl replied.
"I am in Italy!"
She yelled in disbelief.
"When you guys were going to tell me this... You bring me to another country..."
"Calm down, this should be the last thing you should worry about. Be careful of Alexander, he doesn't have good reputation in public... Amanda usually stay away from him and you are going to do the same."
She said and Bella nodded.
"Come on it's time."
One of them said and her heart started beating rapidly.
Author's POV Bella took a deep breath when they reached to the venue. "Listen old man, if he killed me then my ghost will haunt you your whole life." She said to Valentino. "They won't kill you" He assured. Bella looked outside from tainted window. It was huge building and there were many people's outside, mostly media. It was looking like a red carpet. Bella fixed her dress, it was Golden shimmer long mermaid gown with long slit, it was backless and had deep neck. She was looking sexy in it. "Just don't fuck up okay... And don't open your mouth in front of Alexander... He is already very angry." He warned and she nodded. "I am not fucking around Bella... You can't escape from here, I will kill your sister and forget about the money... You are lucky that i am giving so much money for this work." "Fine... Don't touch my sister." She sighed. Valentino got out of the car and opened the door for her. Bella got out and took his hand. She closed her eyes when flashlights
Author's POV Bella clutched on her seatbelt tightly as Alexander started driving the car very roughly. She looked at him scared but couldn't say anything. She has no idea how to handle this situation. She can understand that Alexander is angry because Amanda agreed for that photoshoot, offcourse he is worried about his reputation. But she doesn't want to get punished for Amanda's mistakes. 'Think something Bella... Otherwise you are fucking dead.' She panicked. She saw huge Mansion coming to her view. Her eyes widened at the site. Huge garden came to the view when his car entered through huge metal gate. There was a huge fountain which was looking like a mini waterfall. Her thoughts got broken when she got roughly pulled by her hair. "Ahh..." She screamed trying to push him away but Alexander dragged her inside. Bella stumbled forward when he pushed her roughly in the living room. "Fuck" She cursed when she almost tripped due to high heels. She turned around madly b
Author's POV "Mother in law" Bella mumbled looking at the woman who is Amanda's mother in law. They have told many things about Anamika and Bella understood that this woman is overall good. But her gaze was making her uncomfortable. She quickly gulped down the berries and looked at her nervously. On other hand Anamika looked at the girl who was standing in front of her in shorts and tank top, lips coated with berry juice. She was kind of messy and Amanda isn't like this. "We need to talk" Anamika said sternly. Bella nodded and walked towards her, Anamika frowned when she saw handprint on her cheek. She touched Bella's cheek and her face turned furious. Bella looked at her confused when she stormed out of the kitchen. Bella grabbed the tissue paper and wiped her mouth. "Stop eating like a pig Bella, you are Amanda now." She scolded herself. Anamika went to the living room where Alexander was waiting for them. "Did you raised your hand on her?" Anamika asked madly. Al
Author's POV Bella looked at the telephone which was in living room and hope sparkled in her naive heart. "May be my room has one too" She mumbled and ran towards her room. She entered inside and started looking for a telephone. She has no idea why modern house like this still has telephones but she isn't complaining. She grabbed the telephone and sat on the sofa. "Please god, please make it work..." She pleaded and dialled Jasmine's number. Bella rocked her leg impatiently as it rang but Jasmine didn't receive it. It got disconnected and Bella huffed. She placed it down disappointed. "She must be working in the kitchen." She sighed. But her eyes sparkled when it rang. Bella quickly received the call. "Hello Jasmine!" She yelled in excitement. Jasmine was in the kitchen when she saw missed call from unknown number. She wiped her hand and called back. Her eyes widened when she heard Bella's voice, she quickly looked around and ran towards her room. She hid in the b
Author's POV Bella gasped when she lost her balance but large hand got wrapped around her waist not letting her fall. Alexander picked her up like a toddler and placed on the floor. "Fuck!" Bella looked horrified. "You wanted to try... Satisfied?" He Smirked. "You want to kill me!?" She said looking at him madly. "I love to kill people, but not like this. I have different ways..." He chuckled and Bella looked at him shocked. "What do you want?" She asked. He stepped towards her and she stepped back. Her back touched the railing and she gulped nervously when he caged her against it. He leaned down to her level with mysterious smirk. Bella looked at his handsome face, he looks Even more perfect in broad daylight. Sharp features, pointed nose, amber eyes and raven black hair. He is exactly the way Bella fantasize her man. "I want you...." He whispered evilly and she looked at him with wide eyes. "What?" Her mouth opened. "I want you In my room... We are going
Author's POV Those things fell from Bella's hand as she saw Alexander standing in front of her. She smiled embarrassed. Alexander Smirked and picked up the vibrator. He scowled at it and tossed in the dustbin. "It's small" He said arrogantly. Bella looked at him with open mouth and was about to run away but he grabbed her by the arm and slammed against the wall. Bella gulped nervously when he came too close, his rich scent was alluring and she is not used to deal with handsome man like him. She can feel butterflies dancing in her stomach. She looked at his mysterious eyes and her heart started hammering. "You don't need these little toys" He whispered in her ear. "You can get bigger if you want." Bella's heart skipped a beat by his words but she was getting turn on too. His hand was on her back and he was drawing circles there. He roamed his hand on her arm and travelled towards her waist. She closed her eyes when he touched her neck and caressed her soft skin. Bella l
Author's POV Alexander came out of the shower early in the morning after doing his workout. It was 6 am and Bella was still asleep. He ruffled water from his wet hair and looked at her. He chuckled at the way she was sleeping. She has turned upside down. Bedsheet is tangled around her body, hair are messy and her lips were parted. He let her sleep and walked towards the closest. He couldn't believe that he is letting this stranger girl sleep in his bed. But he have to keep her close to keep an eye on her. Alexander is very angry with Valentino, he dared to deceive him. When Anamika met Amanda who is actually Bella, she had a doubt that something is not right with her. Everything was different, her voice, behavior and accent. Anamika shared her doubt with Alexander but he couldn't point out difference because he has never paid attention towards Amanda. Then they heard Bella's conversation with Jasmine. Poor girl has no idea that every phone is connected to his office pho
Author's POV Bella got scared that man suddenly came forward to kiss her. She quickly react and pushed him back. His head snapped aside when she slapped him hard. He looked at her shocked. "Amanda are you crazy?" "Don't touch me, bastard" Bella yelled. She doesn't care who is he, she won't tolerate this kind of behavior. "Bitch!" He clenched his jaw and stepped towards her. She threw coffee on his face and kicked him in balls. He fell on the floor with groan and Bella punched his nose. Alexander was watching everything along with his all employees. His lips were in full smile. He didn't know that his replaced wife is feisty too. He liked it. His eyes widened when Bella was about to smash flower vase on his face. He quickly rushed towards her and pulled her away by the waist. "It's enough, guards will handle the rest." He said. "No, he is a bastard... I am gonna kill him." Bella threw fists at him. Alexander sighed. "Why are you beating your own friend?" He asked
