★★BELLA★★
I dropped my phone on the floor as the word echoes in my head. "Dad is dead, dad is dead..."
Tears dropped from my eyes. My father did me and my mom wrong, still why should he die like this?
Bruno rushed to me "Bella, what's it? What happened?"
I wiped my tears and let out a fake smile "sorry, I'll have to leave, I have something urgent" I picked my things and rushed home. My world now feels unbalanced, I feel my head spinning over the news.
I opened the entrance gate slowly... The place seems so quiet.
"Kel...?" I called with my broken voice.
"Kelly... Aunt Lisa?" My aunt was drawing smoke from the pipe, she looked so calm.
She puffed it in the air... "My husband is dead... Are you happy now?"
"Huh?" I didn't get her words well.
She wiped her face with her hand, I could see clearly see her botched makeup.
She got up, walked to me and sat on the floor.
"Bella dear, where will you go? Your Dad is gone now. I'm not sure he signed anything in your name".
I'm still confused, can hardly understand a thing she says.
Kelly came to her side "Mother, dad is gone" her eyes were really swollen.
"Don't worry dear. It will be alright" Lisa says.
They whole week feels like hell for me, I heard from them that my father hit his head in the bathroom and bled to death. Same way he killed my mother. Karma came too quick for him. He didn't suffer before dying like, he did my mom.
I wore a black dress, didn't wear any makeup, I wore a big black hat over my head. My dad is to be buried today.
"Come out Bella" Lisa's husk voice...
She and the rest of her children were already prepared. I Carried my dad's picture in my hand, we walked slowly as the coffin was carried.
I started to remember, my mom and dad with me when I was six. My teeth were spacey. I used to lick a lot of sweets. Mom and Dad feeding each other. After a while, this man changed. He became a totally different person.
His coffin was dropped on the floor. The prayers were said. My step mom was pretending to cry... She cried so much.
I walked and stood in front of his grave.
“DAD, YOU GOT SERVED"
I can't have mercy and pity on him. I dropped the flowers there and walked away. I feel like I'm hallucinating.
I can see my mom’s pointing at me, she wore a sad face. She is wearing the last dress she wore before she died. She walked to my father's grave and also threw black roses there.
I wiped my eyes, looked around, everyone was gone except someone. He was sitting two chairs away from me
He got up, changed his position, sitting next to me.
"Hi..." He said.
This pervert, I don't want any trouble now. He's wearing a black suit and.
He put his hands on mine "so sorry your father is dead."
I wiped my eyes "it's OK, he deserved it" and got up to leave when he holds me. "Where do you intent to go?”
"Mister, what sort of question is that? Don't ever hold my hands again" I rudely removed his hand from mine and walked away.
"Well bye!!" He yelled.
I went home...
I entered my house, the sweet smell of cake filled the air. They won't offer me, I know... I walked straight to my room, ignoring Lisa.
"Where are you going young lady?" I heard her annoying voice again.
"See Lisa-" I turned to Say, I now notice my things were arranged at the corner of the living room.
"You should leave my house now. Your family ended, I don't see reasons why I should let you stay." She said.
This is probably the first time, I ever spoke rudely to her. "Lisa, stop this shit. I won't leave my parents house.I have every-"
I can't tell whether I was able to complete my sentence or not before I was throw out. I'm not the floor, and My bags, on top of me.
It ended for me... Oh! boy.
I have no friend, where I'm I to go? I thought of where to go while arranging my things.
I can sleep in the shop, or...
I don't even have a dime with me, I haven't been paid.
I carried my things and made my way out of the gate. I could see his eyes. He was watching me again. I pretended not to see him and raised my head up. He won't see me down.
I passed through The back. "Madame..." I called.
She looks so surprise seeing me with my things.
"Bella... What happened.??"
I try speaking, but I can't. I know staying her will give Bruno chance to get me quicker.
"Madame Serena, can I sleep in the shop for a few nights?"
★★BELLA★★ She helped me with my bag. "No dear, you can't sleep here. My heart is already raising. "You can come to my house Bella we're like family. Huh, her house?! I never thought of going there. "Yes Bella, come to live with us." He gave Me a.shiver with his words. He looks so happy that I want to live with them."OK madam. Till I get a place to stay, I'll be paying you little rent. It isn't good that I stay for free." I say. I dropped my stuffs by the corner of the room.Evening, Bruno drove the family home with his bus. I was given the room of Ariana and Lorenzo, they were going to sleep in Bruno's room. Ariana didn't want to leave and I promised to share the room with her. I unload
Chapter 10★★BELLA★★ He marched to his room. He looks scarier than Bruno, he's so huge, broad shoulder, Great arm, his abs I could see clearly from his shirt, he had long legs. I watched the window as the rain fell heavily, 'After the rain stops, where will I go?' These were my only thoughts... He came back with some blankets and a pair of clothes. "Hey, go have a bath then you can wear these." He said and dumped them on the chair. When I was ready, he led me to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and had a bath, even though it felt like someone was watching me the whole time. 'Calm Bella, it's just your stupid head trying to play a trick.' I consoled myself. The bathroom was better than the one I shared with Kelly, it gave me some sort of inner peace so I decided to stay for a little longer, letting the water calm my head down, my heart from racing. After bathing, I wore the shirt he gave me, I feel so cold even
★★BELLA★★ I looked at his wide shoulder, his ripped army colored sweater. Wait... Is that 'en' on his shoulder? Does he have a tattoo? 'Bella, you must be stupid, a lot of words end with 'en'.I turn to the bed and sleep. Morning time. I opened my eyes "ahh...! You startled me" I screamed. He squatted, staring at me. "Well, is this how long you sleep? You must be really lazy, I bet you're jobless" he said as he walked to the window. The day was so bright,the ray entered directly into my eyes. "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll be going now" I say. I got up, wrapped my hair into a bun. "You have to answer my questions. Number one, why were you on the streets last night?"&nb
★★BELLA★★ I can't speak, I did wrong, I disobeyed... But how can he aim so perfectly? "Why did you come in here?" He asked in a different tone. "I didn't mean to, I came to deliver you meal, I called you but you- you didn't answer..." He wiped his face and smiled like a psycho in his second personality "Oh..." He raised the gun up. "Don't be scared, this is fake. It's a toy".I don't buy that. Why would he be with a toy gun? He stretched his hand for the food. I gave It to him. As I walked out, I pulled the knife from the door and dropped it on the shelf. Slowly withdrew my hand to leave... "What is your name?" He asked calmly "Bella. My name is Bella." I feel like crying for no reason.
★★JAYDEN★★ I go through the transfer paper, Wayne will be so shocked. Tomorrow, I'll go to back, I have some works to attend to. I start to think of Bella, I feel pity for her, just like me, she's alone in this world, but unlike me, she is a simple and nice little sport. I let her stay here because of pity. Play the record of her family: "Dad, dad sign, stop dragging the pen with Mom!" This was her sister's voice. "No, no, Lisa, you have used me all these years, I won't sign my wealth to you, what about my... What about my other daughter...???" "Edward, we have to secure our childrens future first, sign..." "Sign This Eddy! Don't be stubborn" they were struggling, she hit his head with something. I don't know how he died but I heard his daughter screaming. This naïve girl never ask
★★JAYDEN★★ I drove speedily back with my eyes almost closing all the time. I haven't slept the whole night, driving here. Wow, the whole house is so clean, except my room. cheers to me, I got a new helper, plus she pays for her stay. And who says I want to settle down? Pish...! I'll always be like this, a sick me. I crashed on the bed, folded like a baby then slept... ★★BELLA★★ I woke up to an empty house, he already left like a ghost. Keys were tied to my wrist, even though he asked me not to enter his room, he came in mine. I had a quick bath and did all the chores, plates that looks like they haven't been washe
★★JAYDEN★★ "Don't drink this, I won't be there if you choke...!" I collected the drink from her. She was coughing a lot. She rested her head on my lap. "Mr Richard, you talk... I'll listen." "Don't call me mister, Richard is OK." I sigh before starting. "All my life, I've always been the rebellious one, the goat of the family. I had this dream, to be seated with my father and other men, to talk if business, not to stand beside him while he talks." "It's bad to want to start from the top I know, but it's my habit, I don't need help from anyone, I want to be my own boss, with other bosses not to learn and be nurtured under them. I don't need recommendation from my father!" She was singing " twinkle... Twinkle star... No, twinkle, twinkle little star." With a different voice.
★★JAYDEN★★ I opened the running shower and forced her under the water "stay here, I didn't ask you to get so emotional and drink alcohol". I let the water pour on her, I'm so good at taking care of people. After pouring her water, I drag her to the room... "Bella, you wanna play a game?" She covered her eyes, feeling shy "Yes..." "Ok... then join your hands together" I nod my head as she did. I collected a the curtain rope and wrap her handed together, covered her with a blanket so she doesn't feel cold. "Bella, count 1 to 400, if I come here and you're still awake, I'll bite you. Count now..." I say and closed the door. My mom was still on... "Mom, pls, don't ask me about her...!" &n
