Daniel POV: Fuck, I'm stupid. I need to figure out something to get Bella to talk to me because ignoring her has pushed her into another man's arms, and I don't fucking want that. I don't know if I can give Bella more than friends with benefits, but if there's one thing for sure, I don't want her to move on to him or anyone, for that matter. Bella is mine; she always will be. I just need to remind her. Noah doesn't know the ugly side of Bella, but I do, and I know what she needs. I am what she needs. Walking out of her apartment building after 10 minutes of standing there, wondering if I should break down the door and confront Noah for even thinking of touching Bella (because I know he has, no man would be stupid enough to not want Bella), I decide to leave. Walking towards my car, I climb inside. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I dial the one person that will make Bella want to talk to me. It took forever trying to find her since Bella has only told me that she was the woman who p
Daniel POV: As night fell, I took out my phone, quickly booking a dinner table at Turandot. It was the only place available on short notice. Unlike other Dons who relied on their Bratva status, I didn't resort to fear. Instead, I commanded respect and earned loyalty in return. Upon reaching Bella's apartment building, I escorted Mrs. Vitale out of the car. Her eyes scanned the building with a nostalgic smile. "She never loved the high life," she mused, lost in memories. We entered the building and stepped into the elevator. Pressing the button for the fifth floor, Mrs. Vitale retrieved a small velvet bag from her handbag, piquing my curiosity. "Pearls," Mrs. Vitale said, her voice soft as she handed me the bag. I frowned, perplexed by its significance. We walked towards Bella's apartment, and upon reaching her door, I composed myself, brushing off imaginary dust. Satisfied, I knocked. After a few moments, the door jingled open, and I stepped aside, ensuring Mrs. Vitale was the firs
Daniel POV:This is probably the most awkward dinner I have ever been to. Mrs. Vitale can see how awkward things are between Bella and me. I'm pretty sure even the wait staff can too. I honestly don't even know what to say to Bella around Mrs. Vitale because I'm not one to air- what's that phrase about the airing the dish rag something like that"So Bella how are you finding Russia? You are a long way from home Tesoro" she says to Bella and Bella sighs"I know Nonna but there was nothing much left for me to do back home," Bella says and Mrs. Vitale sighs"They haven't spoken to you have they," Mrs. Vitale says and Bella rolls her eyes making Mrs. Vitale pinch her arm. Bella mutters 'Sorry' and I smile at their interaction"Why would they? I haven't spoken to them since I was 5 and that's because I was in their way" Bella says. Is she talking about her parents? Oh"I'm sorry Tesoro," Mrs. Vitale says grabbing her hand and Bella just nods going back to eat. Mrs. Vitale yawns and then wi
Daniel POV: Bella and I hurried out of the restaurant and into the car, eager to drive back to my house. We were so impatient that she straddled my lap the entire way there, and we kissed passionately. Once we stumbled into the house, we started taking off pieces of our clothing. By the time we reached my room, she was only in her panties, and I was in my boxers. She jumped into my arms wrapping her legs around my waist and I carried her to the bed with my hands kneading her ass Dropping her onto the bed she fell with a squeal. I don't waste a second before I'm in between her spread legs and kissing her soft lips. Grabbing her panties I pull them off without breaking the kiss. She moans when I run my hands back up her thighs and then squeeze at her soft flesh. I start grinding myself on her bare pussy just checking how wet she is. Feeling her coat my boxers I groan grabbing her waist to pull her away from me "Mine" I groan looking at her glistening folds. Licking my lips I use my
Daniel POV:I haven't gone home in 3 days and I haven't gotten any voicemails from Bella which is strange because she always leaves me a couple. I even tried calling her but I'm the one who got sent straight to voicemail.She can't simply be mad about me leaving her like that. She literally had someone's fingers up her pussy and I haven't let any woman touch my dick since we both agreed on being casual I mean for fuck sake she moved to Moscow for me. But now she's going to sex clubs. I don't even know who she is anymoreI've literally been sitting in one of my empty cells covered in blood that's not even mine. We kind of had an attack yesterday but luckily none of my men got hurt. You see I never let Bella see the ugly side of my work because it's not pretty"Boss" looking up I see one of my newest recruits, Nina Takahashi. She was the top shooter at her father's Yakuza but then he decided to marry her off to Xavier or me but we both declined and told her that she could just stay with
Bella POV:"Are you going to put it there?" Noah asked and I turned to face him"Yeah, it's perfect," I say and he looks at me with this look that I can't exactly decipher. He nods his head and goes back to cleaning his station. Looking at him I can't help but think what if this was how my life could have beenDating maybe even marrying a normal man who does normal things and who chooses me at every chance he gets but life is not fair and I'll never get that because I have already chosen a made man who has dragged me to the underworld with him and it appears that I'm trapped. Daniel is my addiction and only time can tell whether it's a good or bad thing"Hey Bell, do you want to order in, or are we going to finally get around cooking in that oven of yours," he says and I turn around to find him smiling"I'm starting to think you want to burn my apartment down," I say walking over to him with a chuckle. He rolls his eyes at me. I walk slowly toward him as if I'm just brushing past but
Bella POV: "Why are you seeing both Daniel and Noah" my Nonna shouts from the lounge. I stop stirring the pot and I look up to see that she's giving me the look that always made me tell her the truth when I was little and it's still working now "Nonna I'm not it's just complicated but I'm with Daniel," I say and shakes her head looking disappointed "Nothing is ever complicated Cocca(sweetie)" she says continuing to knit. I wish it was as easy as she's making it seem. I mean when I'm with Noah I completely forget about Daniel but when I'm with Daniel I can't think about anything because my body is always aware of his near mine Going back to stirring the pot I find myself putting a lid on the pot and taking my phone out. Scrolling through my contacts I find Daniel's number and I dial it. It rings for a while but when I look up at the picture that Noah painted it stares back at me and my heart just aches. I end the call and I frown. Calling Daniel doesn't feel right and I've just com
Daniel POV:"Mera lund choong " he seethes then stomps hard onto Mr popular's dick. I'm pretty sure all the men in the room groaned whilst Mr popular screamed out in pain. Fuck that gotta hurt.The kid went to the far end of the mat and picked up his glasses. He wiped the lenses and then put them back on. He goes back to the line of trainees as if nothing happened"Well, that was a turn of events," Xavier says stepping over Mr popular " Well done...." Xavier waits for the boy to say his name"Bhajan," the boy says and the room erupts in applause for him. Looking to the far right I find Nina looking at me and she winks when I meet her gaze. Smiling I shake my head and leave the room undetected~~~~~"I see you got the cut fixed" Looking up from my paperwork I find Nina smirking at me. She's leaned against the door with her arms crossed and she appears to be still in her training gear"You should see the other guy," I say with a smirk. Putting my arms on the desk I watch her as she walks
