Secret Love

Chapter 15 - Encounter

Isabella's POV

She approached Alessandro, giving him a seductive grin. I gritted my teeth as she kissed his cheek.

"Will you introduce us?" She asked Alessandro as she leaned her head against his chest, her arm wrapped around his waist.

"Let me introduce you to Isabella. She is my best friend's daughter. I told you about her mother, Marta Martinelli." Silvia intervened as she approached us, smiling. "And this is Gaia, Alessandro's fiancee." She added.

"Nice to meet you." Gaia said, forcing a smile without moving away for a inch from Alessandro.

"Nice to meet you." I mumbled.

When I looked at Alessandro, he gave me an apologetic look. I averted my gaze. Seeing him with another woman made my heart sink. Yes, it was fake, but I still felt jealous.

"Where did you two disappear?" Silvia asked.

"Umm...I went to the company. We came across in front of the door." Alessandro lied.

"Yeah." I mumbled, clenching my fist. "I went to see my friend." I added without looking into her eyes.

"Good." She nodded, giving me a smile. "The housekeeper brought your suitcases to your bedroom." She added.

"You stay here?!" Gaia commented in shock. "Why don't you stay in your house?" She asked, forcing a smile. "Are you afraid?" She added.

It is official; I hate this girl.

"No." Silvia intervened. "Isabella is like a daughter to me. So when her parents are away, I can't let her stay alone." Silvia added as she placed her hand on my arm. Gaia nodded, giving her a lazy smile.

After dinner, we were chatting in the living room. More correctly, I was forced to see Gaia's fake attitude towards Silvia and me, but after Silvia had left, she tried to humiliate me as much as possible. She was an annoying, spoiled bitch. I already hate her. Moreover, seeing her glued to Alessandro like a leech made me mad.

"Isabella, do you want to join me in the gym? Don't get me wrong, but I think you need to work out. You probably were busy with your studies." She said, giving me a bitchy smile.

I gritted my teeth, trying to hold myself. I wanted to strangle her neck.

Dumbass! I am pregnant with my husband's baby. Or I should call your fake fiancé?!

"Thank you. But I have a membership at the gym where I attended when I was here. And I take yoga lessons as well." I informed and forced a smile.

"Oh, I thought you didn't work out. Maybe you should change your trainer." She added, faking an innocent smile.

I clenched my fist in frustration. When I wanted to put her in her place, Alessandro sensed my annoyance and intervened. "Girls, would you like something to drink?"

"No, baby. I will leave in about fifteen minutes." She replied as she ran her hand through his hair. Alessandro gulped, looking at me uncomfortably.

I sighed, closing my eyes. I felt so mad.

"Excuse me. I need to get rest. I am tired." I said, annoyed as I stood up abruptly.

Alessandro gave me a worried look as he asked. "Are you fine?"

"Yeah." I replied dryly without looking at him. "Good night." I added with a cold voice and left without waiting for them to say anything.

As I closed the door behind me, I leaned against the door closing my eyes. I was holding myself from crying hard. I breathed deeply and went to the bathroom. I needed to wash my face; I felt bad.

When I left the bathroom, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Alessandro walked in, closing the door behind him. I folded my arms over my chest and sat down on the bed, my back towards him.

He took a deep breath and approached me. He bent down in front of me and placed her hands on my knees.

"I am sorry. I didn't know she was going to come today." He informed, giving me an apologetic look.

"I hate seeing you with another woman. It makes my heart tighten even if I know it is just a fake relationship." I confessed as my eyes welled up. Ugh! These hormones.

"I know, bella mia. Believe me it is hard for me as well, but I have no other choice. I should do it for my loved ones." He said as he straightened. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead and sat down beside me on the bed. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.

I sighed, depressed as I leaned my head on his shoulder and admitted. "I want it to end as soon as possible. I want our past life back."

"I know. So do I. I want to show to the world how much I love you. I want to tell my parents about us, our baby, but..." He confessed sadly and sighed. "Just give me some time. I promise I will handle it as soon as possible." He promised.

"I love you, Alessandro." I admitted.

He smiled sadly as he stated. "I love you too, bella mia. I am deeply, madly in love with you." He cupped my cheek and brushed his lips against mine. I placed my hand on the back of his neck as I responded to his kiss.

He laid me back down without breaking our kiss. He slid his hand under my blouse, lifting it up. I arched my back in excitement. He moved his lips down to my neck.

"I missed you so much." He mumbled between kisses.

I moaned as he bit my neck slightly. He pulled back and unbuttoned his shirt without taking his eyes off me for a second, full of desire in his eyes. He grabbed my hands, pulling me towards him and took off my shirt. He brushed his fingertips against my stomach, smiling happily. I looked at him affectionately.

"I love you so much." He said, looking into my eyes and smashed his lips against mine without waiting for me to say anything.

A few minutes later, we were laying on the bed, naked while kissing each other passionately. His every touch, kiss set me on fire again and again.

"Please..." I murmured.

"Umm... Are you sure? Did your doctor let it? Won't it be dangerous to our baby?" He asked anxiously as he pulled back, giving me a concerned look.

"Don't worry. She said it is safe. The risk has passed." I reassured him, stroking his cheek and gave him a warm smile. He nodded and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

In a swift movement, he slid his member into me. I pursed my lips together, trying to silence my moan, but I failed.

"Be quiet, bella mia." He demanded and smashed his lips against mine while thrusting inside me harder and deeper.
