Chapter 195
Massimo
When I walked into the kitchen and grabbed Bella from behind, she totally freaked out. “Stupid Massimo” I thought to myself. I had to calm her down and made her see it was me. I couldn’t believe I scared her that much. I really hoped she’ll go see a therapist because a sex club is most definitely not the answer or should I say not yet. When she let me held her, she spoke into my chest not wanting to look me in the eye. She made an appointment at a therapist, that took a load of my shoulders. I really hope this time will be better for her than when she went because of her ex-husband. After she calmed down and I showed her how to make the pasta we sat at the dining room table and there was something I needed to tell her and by the look on her face when I mentioned her work, I knew this is going to be an argument. “I’m not quitting Massimo and you most definitely are not going to fire me.” “Bella I just think to be between all these dangerous men isn’t a good idea at the moment.” “I didn’t say I’m coming back to work next week Massimo; I know I have a few things to work through but I need something to keep my mind busy and working is doing that for me.” “I understand Bella, you can still do your work from home I just don’t think coming to the office is necessary.” “Does that mean I could still work?” “Off course Bella if that is what you need then you can still work for me, I just need you to tell me if things get too much or if you’re not feeling up to it anymore. I don’t want to take it away from you because I see it taking a toll on you, I’d rather you tell me. That will make things easier and you won’t get angry at me. But Bella, I mean it if I see it’s taking a toll on you and you don’t tell me I will step in.” “I understand, I’m not happy about it but I understand. I’ll try and tell you if something is wrong Massimo. But to be clear I do won’t to go to the office once or twice a week.” Before I could say anything, she went on. “Not right now but later. Could you deal with that?” “Yes, Bella I can, when you are better.” “Yes, Massimo when I’m better.”
The next morning, we got up and went for a jog, I had to tell Bella on multiple occasions to go slower, it looked like she was running away from something. I stopped at the entrance of Central Park to take a sip of water. “Bella take a sip of your water.” “I’m not thirsty yet, I need to run more.” “Bella, you promised me this will be a jog not a sprint. Take a sip of your water and take it easy. I only agreed to this because you said you’ll take it slow, now you running like you running away from something.” “I know I’m sorry, it’s just so nice to be outside and running again.” “Yes, Bella but you have two munchkins that still needs a check-up, so we need to take it easy, please.” I begged her. “Fine” I could see she wasn’t happy, but she took a sip of water and when we started to jog, she stayed by my side and didn’t try to run away from me. We did our normal route through Central Park than I forced her to walked back to the apartment. We passed a Starbucks “Coffee sweetheart?” I could see she wanted to say no just to spite me but her cravings took over. “Yes please.” We walked in I got an espresso for me, Luca and Marco and a decaf hazelnut ice latte for Bella. The barista’s always look us funny when we asked for an Ice Latte in this cold but that was what my Bella craved and that was what she’ll get. We walked back to the apartment drinking our coffee, when she was almost done with her coffee I asked her “Feeling better sweetheart?” She looked at me and smiled. “Yes, thank you Massimo, I’m sorry I’m getting irritated so quickly.” “No problem, Bella.” I gave her a kiss. I’m trying my best to navigate all these different moods so far; I think I’m doing good. We got back to the apartment and Bella let me shower with her, that was quite a thing. A step in the right direction. “Can I wash you sweetheart.” “Yes” was all she said. I wondered if that was a big thing to give up. But I took my time and washed her from head to toe and took my time around her breast. I got angry when I saw the bruises but I tried to keep that to myself. She didn’t pull away when I washed her breast and played with them in fact, she put her head on my shoulder and laid back, I tried my luck to take the washcloth to her pussy but I wasn’t even at her belly button when she stopped me. “Sorry Massimo.” I turned her around and kissed her, like properly kissed her, I even got a hard on from the kiss. When I pulled away I looked her in the eyes “No need to be sorry sweetheart, we’ll work through this on your time.” “Thank you.”
I left Bella in her office and Luca and I went to my office over my parents’ restaurant, it was time to go back there the Ricci’s are gone so there was no threat to my parents anymore. I walked into the restaurant and the first thing my mom wanted to know was how Bella was. I needed to sit her down and tell her that Bella was good and that I showed Bella how to make pasta last night and that Rachel hoped mamma will teach our two bambino’s how to make pasta one day. Mom was over the moon just at the thought. Then eventually she let me go with a cup of espresso and pastry off course.
I walked into my office finding Enzo on Rachel’s chair. “Good morning boss.” “Enzo what you doing here?” “There’s nothing wrong with my hands boss, I just can’t walk without those things” he motioned to the crutches. “How did you get up the stairs?” “Slowly” we all laughed. “Well then Enzo anything happened I should know of?” “Yes, boss you had a call from Bernardi from Sicily, it sounded serious, you should phone him back.” “If he phones there’s something wrong.” I walked into my office and immediately called Bernardi back. The phone rang once when Bernardi answered “Marchetti, I need your help.”
