*Bella's POV*Clutching the file in my hands tighter, I look up from my feet to meet Nico's eyes He stared at me coldly, the past warmth he had for me gone. So that's how it is huh?I admit it, I messed up, I shouldn't have entertained Andrei's advances when I knew Nico wouldn't like that, I shouldn't have lied to him because he doesn't tolerate lies. Heck I did a lot of things that I shouldn't have done and I regret doing them. And right now Nico wouldn't even look at me or listen to me. He made up his mind in having nothing to do with me and I have to respect those wishes.Holding back my tears that shouldn't be falling, I walked past Nico, my shoulders brushing against his arm. I look at his face as I walked past and it remained stoic, not even showing any pain or emotion.Does he even care that I'm about to leave? I can't decide if he does care or not. On one hand I admit I messed up, he hates it when people lie to him and I went ahead and lied to him, I didn't even do it once.
Leaning my head against the window, I listen to the soft taps of the rain against the car's glass window.I thought I was never going to forgive Andrei for what he did, I thought I was also never going to talk to him ever again. But look at me here, having a conversation with him and it seems I had forgiven him too. Not that he did anything that needed much forgiveness or everything was his fault. I was just playing the blame game with him instead of taking responsibility for all my actions. I was the one that lied to Nico, not Andrei. I just couldn't handle the fact that I messed up and…."It was also my fault. Stop trying to put all the blame on yourself" Andrei tells me cutting my train of thoughts. I turn to look at him but he wasn't even looking at me but keeps his eyes on the road."It really isn't just your fault. I mean yes, you messed up with the lies. Domenico doesn't like people lying to him and that was a dumb move you made there. But it was also my fault if you think abo
I wait a few seconds before I lower the blanket, uncovering my face to just above my nose, peeping out to see if he actually left."Don't worry, he left. I made sure he actually left" The doctor says with a boastful expression and I glance at him before taking my eyes off him, closing my eyes."You are welcome by the way" He says in a dejected tone and I only say a 'hmph' with my eyes still closed.This man doesn't really act like he is a doctor at all, you sure he knows what he is doing? Cause i'm not too sure. He is acting like he was the class clown while he was in school.I keep my eyes closed, hoping to get some sleep, and that's when the room door gets thrown open, and i open my eyes to see who disturbed my sleep. A panicking Andrei rushed in, looking around. The doctor rubs his forehead with his eyes closed, I could see a vein throbbing on his forehead."Oh for the love of…." I hear the doctor mumble and I stiffle a giggle."Where is she??" Andrei asks still looking around pani
We got to the car park and Andro was already sitting behind the car wheel, waiting for us to come."You ready?" He asks when he saw us coming, bringing his head out of the car window.."Let's go"Andrei helps me into the car even though I told him that I didn't need any help and there was really no need for him to. I mean we were both in the same car and we got into the accident together. Why was he acting like I was about to die or something? I won't break if he lets go of me."You ready?" Andro asked when Andrei got into the car, closing the door shut after he did.After being certain we were all okay, well mostly me because I think they expect me to actually break down or something due to trauma because the last car accident I was in killed my parents and almost killed me and I got traumatized by that as a child. But surprisingly, I wasn't having a panic attack after entering this car. I think both Andrei and Andro were expecting me to because they both kept looking at me, Andro l
I stay there, sitting on the grass for a while without saying anything or moving, the sun had already come up now and the weather was starting to get warm.Andro comes and stands beside me, dropping a flower on their grave as a way of paying his respects to my parents and he turns and looks down at me."Why are you down there?" He raises his brows at me asking. Can't a girl just remain sitting in front of her parents grave just to feel their presence?"Was talking to my parents" I say raising my hand up for him to pull me up.He clasps his hand around my wrist pulling me up to him and I let him pull me."And unlike yours, my parents don't really reply when I'm talking to them" I say cleaning my backside to get rid of whatever sand or dirt that was left on my body. I turn around walking down to the car and Andro follows behind me."Really Bella?, you didn't just say that" Andro asks me referring to the statement I made just know.What? Its true isn't it?"But i did and you know it's
We get to the house and Andro kills the engine, getting off and Andrei and I follow suite.It's been a while since I've been here.I thought as I look around, thinking back to the last time I was here,the day I met Nico and the day he took me away by force."Don't think about it. Let's just do it" Andrei says squeezing my hand and I squeeze his back.Don't we need a lawyer or something to do this? Are we just going to walk in and I don't know? Claim the property? Is that how its done?"I said not to think about it" Andrei flicks my forehead destroying my train of thoughts like he always does.Who don't they like me thinking about stuff?"You'd just burn your little brain cells out if you think too much" Andrei says and I look at him clearly offended What does he mean by that? Little brain cells?"Let's go you two" Andro calls for our attention and I stick my tongue out at Andrei before speed walking to catch up to Andro. A bit childish, I know.Do I feel nervous about what we are ab
What did she just say?I turned around to look at Aunt Sofia and she was staring at me with hatred so intense that it scared me."I wish you died with them that day, you were supposed to die too but I was so unfortunate and you didn't. You got so lucky and you escaped that day" She continued saying still staring at me with the same intense hatred.What is she talking about? She wished I had died that day? But why? Does she hate me enough to wish me dead?"Mom, what are you saying?" Andro asked her, he was as shocked as I was cause we were not expecting her to say this or feel this way. She acted like she loved me in the previous years."I should have killed you off myself after I found out you survived that day, the last time I tried to kill you was a failure and this time too ended in a failure. You were always getting too lucky and escaping death" She had said, glaring at me like I was the bane of her existence.Last time was a failure? And this time too?Did she.. Did she set up th
A hole formed on the wall behind Aunt Sofia and I let out an 'oops' looking past her to see the damage I caused to the wall.Eh, it wasn't that bad so I can manage.I had missed the first shot and Aunt Sofia looked behind her then looked at me, staring at me in shock, actually everyone stared at me in shock because no one expected me to pick up the gun and fire at her. But what do you do to the person who just confessed to killing your parents and attempting to kill you? You don't think about it but just do it.Andrei reached for the gun attempting to take it from me and I fired at her again before he could snatch the gun from me.Aunt Sofia screamed in pain holding her arm as blood seeped through her clothes and her fingers.If the first shot missed, the second shot definitely won't miss. What does that tell you? Shoot your shot twice."Don't get blood on my carpet" I tell Aunt Sofia watching as her blood dripped on the carpet on the floor.Alessia paled in fear as she rushes to her
