Qatar

Chapter 23 - the truth

Bella POV

I stood there looking at him as he waited patiently for my answer.

The real reason I'm scared off perusing anything with Neymar is because off my family,
My father is in jail for numerous crimes and my brother is a mafia boss.
Neymar being in a relationship with me is very risky because my family has many enemies.
He can never know about my family background.
It's a secret I will have to keep from him as long as I can if we are to give this relationship a try.
I know it's not going to be a easy to keep that secret from him.
Neymar is going to be suspicious if one day he decides to visit me in Spain seeing my house guarded by guys with guns.
Off course Lino and my father are smart,
they keep our family business hidden from the public eye by owning mostly all the clubs and casinos in Spain so no one will be suspicious of where our money is coming from.
But still it's going to be difficult, especially when I have to lie to a person who knows me more than my own family.

"Earth to Bella."
Neymar said waving his hands in front of my face snapping me out off my thoughts.

"So what's your answer?"
He asked looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Okay"
I said taking a deep breath looking at him smiling.
He wrapped his hands around me picking me up twirling me around.

"But their is one thing."
I said making him put me down.

"What's that?"
He asked tilting his head looking at me worried.

"Our relationship can't go public."
"The media is like cockroaches, they are invasive."
"I enjoy my privacy, I like going grocery shopping and on random walks,"
"I don't want paparazzi following me around like those other footballers girlfriends.
I said looking at him seriously.

"I understand and I respect your decision,"
"But what about my family and close friends."
"I must introduce them you,
the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on."
He said pinching my cheek.

"Of course you can tell them, I know how important your family is to you."
I said looking at him.

"So that means you are flying home to Paris with me after the cup to meet my family?"
He asked smiling.

"Not so fast buddy,"
"when the World Cup is over I have a lot off work to get done,"
"I have decided I'm going to keep the hospital here in Qatar,"
"I can't put my staff out off a job,"
"I think I'm going to ask Kyle if he'll take the job in running this hospital."
"And then I have to literally move all my stuff to Spain."
"It's going to be a little while before we see each other again after the World Cup ends."
I said wrapping my hands around his neck.

"How long exactly,"
He asked leaning his forehead in mines.

"I can finish in time to visit you for the holidays well after Christmas to be more exact,"
"my brother will kill me if I don't spend Christmas with him."
I said looking at his lips.

"Ok then."
He said locking his lips onto mines kissing me.

"Neymar!"
Coach shouted knocking on my door startling us.

"Answer the door and tell him I'm not here,"
Neymar said walking hiding behind my curtains.

"I know you are here Neymar."
Coach said pounding on the door making Neymar give up coming out from behind the curtains.
He took a deep breath opening the door coming face to face with a very pissed coach.

"I know you are our star player but rules are rules Neymar."
"You know you can't have girls over."
Coach asked pointing to Gia who was still standing in front off Neymar's door.

"I never invited her coach,"
"I had no idea she was going visit me."
"Ask Bella she'll tell you the truth."
Neymar said fully opening the door so coach can see me.
I decided to play a game and punish Neymar
a little because why not.

"I have no idea off what's going on."
I said shrugging my shoulders looking at coach and then to Neymar who was giving me the side eye.

"Then why is Neymar in your room?"
Coach asked catching me off guard as I looked at Neymar who had a that's what you get for lying looking on his face.

"Fine,"
I said taking a deep breath.
"Neymar asked me if he could hide out in my room until the girl goes away,"
"he didn't invite her over, he is telling the truth."
I said to coach.

"Well ok I'll have security escort her out,"
Coach said gesturing Neymar to follow him,
"Im going to get you back for that."
Neymar whispered before smacking my ass walking away following coach.

After they left, I took a shower and had dinner,
I am very exhausted from the day I had.
I picked up my phone to text Neymar,
telling him good night.
When I herd a knocking on the door,
I'm sure it's Neymar, he probably returned to get me back for the stunt I pulled in him with coach earlier.
I quickly walked to the door opening it,
My smiling instantly turned into a frown when I saw Alex standing there looking at me pissed as hell.
I quickly tried to close the door but he was quicker pushing me aside entering the room.

"Close the door."
He said looking at me, I decided to do as he said because I didn't want him to cause an commotion.

"I got a call from my father today,"
"he said you came by to address some issues you are having with me."
He said walking to my bed taking a seat.

"Yes I told him that you are threatening a player, and I also told him that I do not wish to marry you in this lifetime."
"And I also told him that you are a drunken cheater who verbally and mentally abused me."
I said looking at him as he got up off the bed walking swiftly towards me,
I stood my ground showing him that I was not scared off him.

"Well look at you all brave," you think your lover boy Neymar is going to come in and save you?"
"Tell me have you slept with him already,"
Alex said taking a step towards me closing the gap between us.
"Have he gotten a taste off that addictive body off yours?"
He asked grabbing my waist making me flinch.

"Take your hands off me Alex or else."

"Or else what are you going to have your jail bird father come for me?"
He said making me look at him in disbelief.

"Rosita told me everything,"
"She told me your father is a criminal."
Alex said smiling.

"I wonder what Neymar will think if he finds out his beautiful princess father is a criminal who probably kill people in his past."
"Or what about Dale the Brazilian team manager?"
"He will sure fire you if he finds out you are a daughter off a criminal."
He said laughing.

"Alex please don't."

"Don't what Bella?"
"Don't ruin your life like you did to mines."
"You know my father is threatening to take the hotel from me because off you?"
He said pointing his finger aggressively at my chest.

"What do you want Alex?"
I asked pushing away his hand.

"I want you to end things with Neymar,"
"Tell him you are going to marry me."
"Or else I'll tell him the truth."
"And you are going to tell my father that everything you told him about me was a lie,"
"And we are proceeding with the wedding."
"You know it's the right thing to do Bella,"
"Not only for your sake but for Neymar's."
"Do you really want him to get tied up in your toxic life?"
Alex asked.

"Like it or not Bella it's the truth."
"You have two days to end things with him or I'll tell him the truth about your family."
He said letting go off me.

"The match against Croatia is the next two days."
I said.

"Perfect timing hopefully the breakup will affect his performance on the field and Brazil will lose and go home,"
"the sooner he gets away from you the better."
Alex said before opening the door walking away.
I shut the door grabbing the vase on the table trowing it against to wall in frustration.
