Today is going to be a good day,I can feel it.
I have a skip in my step and nothing's gonna get in my way.
"Hi baby's" I say
"Mummmmmmy" The twins say in unison.
"Hello Isabella" Emily says
"Emily,you good?" I ask
"Yeah,I'm alright" She replies
"Mummy can we play with Emily today?" Arabella ask and Auriana nods in agreement.
"You don't wanna play with mummy?" I say in a fake sad voice
"Nooooo mummy that's no-" I cut Auriana short
"I know sweetie it's alright. Besides I was just joking. Of course you can play with Emily" I say and their faces light up
"Thank you mummy" Arabella says and Auriana nods in agreement.
"If you need me,I'll be downstairs" I say and Emily nods.
Walking downstairs,I hear Enzo and Antonio bickering.
What now?!
"But you promised" Enzo says
"Enzo,I'm busy. You're a grown as man. Go out yourself" Antonio says
"Do I even want to know?" I ask when I get to where they are.
"Antonio promised that he would go out with me today. Buy now, he claims he has something to do and that's not fair" Enzo says and Antonio rolls his eyes.
"I'll go out with you" I say
"Really?" Enos's face lights up
"Yeah" I reply smiling.
"Go to hell Antonio, I've found a new bestie" Enzo says.
"Where are we going?" I ask laughing.
"Just out" He says.
"Oh okay"
"Antonio, can you tell the girls I went out with Enzo and that I'll be back?" I ask
"Sure thing" he says and I smile.
I haven't been allowed to live the house myself ever since what happened. If I did want to leave,I needed a bodyguard and that's just absurd. But since I'm with Enzo,I don't need a bodyguard. Besides I can protect myself now.
Enzo drives us to the park. It's not a sunny day, neither is it a dull day. We walk over to the grass and sit on it.
"This is nice" I say
"Yeah" he replies.
"Enzo,you can talk,I'll listen to you" I say smiling
"I actually want to ask you a question" he says.
"I'm listening"
" Do you ever miss you're brother? "
I didn't expect that.
Of course I miss him.
I think about him every morning when. wake up and every night before bed.
I think about how I let him down
I think about how I failed him
Everyday,I think. Maybe...just maybe if I hadn't gone to the cemetery, Roberto would still be alive.
"Yeah" I say barely above a whisper.
"I lost a brother too actually" Enzo says
"but I don't miss him" he says looking down
"Why not? and I'm sorry" I says
"It's alright"
"He wasn't the best brother. He was always angry and aggressive. He hated me. He always got me in trouble. He killed my parents. He was a monster, but he let me live." He says
"I think everyone has a reason for being who they are" I say
"Even my father" I whisper.
We spend hours just talking and laughing. He told me about highschool and college,how he met Stefano and the gang.
"Wait,so you're saying,Stefano wasn't always this cold?" I ask
"Nope. He was the warmest person you'd ever meet. Till his father made him like this." He says with hatred.
Talking with Enzo was actually fun. I could talk to him about almost anything. But after much talking me decided to walk around.
"Isabbeeelllla" Enzo groans
"What now?" I ask chuckling.
"I'm tired of walking. Let's sit somewhere for a while" He says
We haven't even been walking for five minutes.
"Fine" I say walking over to a bench in the park.
"Finally" he says dramatically sitting on the bench.
I close my eyes as the cool breeze hits my face
"Isabella" Enzo calls out.
"Hmmm?" I reply
"I want ice cream" he says
"You're a grown man,get it yourself" I reply and he chuckles causing me to smile
We both get ice cream and decide to go home.
---------------------
"We've been out of 6 hours" I say
"Wow" Enzo replies
"Well I had fun" I say walking up the stairs to the front door.
"yeah you did" Enzo says opening the door.
"Where the hell have you guys been?" Elena ask immediately we walk in
"Park" we echo at the same time
"why weren't you answering your phones?" Elena asks
"Did something happen?" Enzo asks
"No,but you're suppose to answer your phone. Isabella, Stefano's furious" Elena says
"Why? I was just out with Enzo" I reply.
"Just out with Enzo!" Stefano roars
"Stefano, chill. Everything's fine" Enzo says
"Shut the hell up Enzo before I fire multiple shots in your leg" Stefano says
"As for you" He sayd looking over to me
"Are you dumb?"he adds
"Nope.I'm pretty brilliant" I reply calmly.
"Ohhh,you think this is a joke" Stefano says
"No,but I think you're taking this too far." I reply still very calm.
"Too far! You got kidnapped and tortured and poisoned the last time you were out" Stefano says
"Alone" I say
"What?" He fires back
"I was out alone.This time,I had Enzo" I say
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT" He yells
"Then what is? You want me to be so safe,yet you don't even allow me to train." I say rolling my eyes
"Don't you dare roll your eyes at me" he says
"Make me" I say walking away
"Isabella" he calls out but I don't answer
"Isabella" He calls out again but I still don't answer
"Isabella Tamara Francesco" he yells.
"Stefano Ignacio Salvatore" I yell back.
"What did you call me?" he says
"I said Stefano Ignacio Salvatore" I repeat.
"You can't call me that" he says
"You can't tell me what I can and cannot do" I reply scoffing
"Yes I can" he yells immediately
"No you can't" I yell.
"I can do what ever the hell I want. You're not my mother and you're sure as hell not my father. So no Stefano, you cannot tell me what the hell,I can and cannot do" I yell back in anger.
"Mummy?" I hear Auriana call out and I turn to she her standing by the rail upstairs in her PJs holding her teddy.
I cover my mouth with my hands.
She wasn't suppose to see that.
"Mummy are you okay?" She says
"Yeah baby. I'm alright" I reply walking up the stairs.
Picking her up she ask
"Why were you and dad yelling?"
"Nothing sweetheart, you need to go back to bed" I say kissing her forehead.
I glance at Stefano one more time before walking back to the girls room.
"Mummy" Auriana calls out.
"Yeah"
"Does Daddy still love you?" She ask and I freeze.
Love?
Stefano love?
Me?
"Ummm....who taught you that word?" I ask.
"No one" She replies
"Well sweetheart, hope you know I love you" I say changing the subject
"You do?" She says,her eyes lighting up
"Of course darling, with all my heart" I say kissing her forehead.
"Can I go to sleep now?" She ask yawning
"Sure baby"
"Night mummy"
"Night sweetie" I say kissing her cheek and tucking her in.
Walking out of their room,I bump into someone.
Stefano.
I know that scent anywhere.
"What do you want?" I ask
"I'm sorry" he says
I look into his eyes and find nothing but sincerity.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have turned off my phone" I say looking down.
"It's alright sweetheart. But please,when you do go out,I need you to tell me or text me or call me. I can't lose you,I will lose my mind" he says
"You're not gonna lose me" I say cupping his face.
"Me and you always love?" He ask
"Me and you always" I reply
He gently places his lips on my forehead and I close my eyes.
"I'm tired" I say
He nods and picks me up bridal style.
"Your room or mine?" he ask
"Yours" I say already dosing off
"Ok princess" I hear him say before I completely dosed off.
~ Stefano's POV ~
This woman right here is my life and I don't know what I would do without her.
"You're not gonna lose me" she replies cupping my face
I can't
"You and me always love?" I ask
"You and me always" she replies and I place a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm tired" She says
I nod and pick her up bridal style.
She has gained some weight,that means she eating
Good.
"Your room or mine?" I ask
As if I'd let her sleep in her room.
"Yours" she replies,her eyes already shut.
"Okay princess" I reply.
I really need to stop calling her that.
I already have two princesses in my life now.
She's my queen.
I walk into my room opening the door with my elbow and kicking it shut once I'm in. I walk over to my bed and place her on it.
She's so peaceful when she sleeps.
Her bruises are healing.
I'm glad.
Those bastards downstairs don't seem to know how to talk.
in fact...I'm going there right now.
I walk into the chamber where the bastards are being held.
The fucker don't even look like humans anyone.
"Nooooo,I can't take it anymore" one of the guy shouts
"Get a hold of yourself you Fucking idiot" the other guy shouts.
"Kassie's sister,Jenny got dumped and was devastated. She came running to her sister and kassie took it upon herself to make her pay." he says
Jenny....
one of my old whores.
Kassie's her sister.
"You took my Bella hostage and nearly killed her because I dumped your good for nothing sister" I say walking dangerously slow towards kassie.
"My sister loved you and you just tossed that away when you say a new slut" she spits out
Before she could even take another breath,I shoot her in the stomach and she cries out.
"No one insults my Bella and lives" I say aiming at her head and I pull the trigger once more.
"No one", I say looking at her dead corps.
" You bastard" one of the guys call out.
"I relieved her of a slow death. You're still alive,I suggest you start talking if not, you'll beg me to shoot you in the head while I'm tearing your skin of" I say.
"Where's Jenny?" I ask
"We don't know" the one named jay says.
"Wrong answer" I say walking over to the torture items and picking up a knife and walking towards him.
I stab the knife through his palms and he let's out a load cry.
"Where is Jenny?" I ask again,slowly this time.
"We haven't seen her for a while now" the other one says.
"The man with you,what's his name?" I ask.
"Esteban Sanchez, their father" Ken says.
"What did he want with her?" I ask and none of them answer me.
I pick up a torch,time to light 'em up.
I walk over to ken and set his hand on fire causing him to yell in pain.
"Dead!" he screams
"He wanted her dead" he says.
I signal over to the guard to put it out.
"Why?" I ask
"I said why?" I say setting Jays leg ablaze and he screams
"Nooooo,you will never know" he screams crying.
"Really?" I ask and he grits.
"Put him out" I say to one of the guards.
"Well, I shall enjoy killing both your families in cold blood" I say walking out.
"What's your mothers name again Jay? Was it Mary? No,that's not it,ahhh Maria and Ken, you sister and aunty, I shall enjoy watching them die" I say.
"Wait!" Jay shouts
"I'll talk" he adds
"Talk"
"H-he wants her dead because he is scared of w-what Adrik could gain from her. She's a genius a-and in the wrong hands like adrik,he c-could do things that we thought we were only p-possible in books or TV" he says.
Adrik.
