Chapter 278
Rachel
I was royally pissed at Massimo he promised me no more secrets or lies and in one day he lied to me twice, how does he want me to start and trust him again if this is what he does. I locked myself in the guest bedroom, I could hear him looking for me when he finally found me, he tried to open the door but I locked it. He knocked on the door and pleaded with me “Bella please let’s talk.” I screamed from inside the room. “I’m not ready I’ll be sleeping here tonight.” “Bella please.” “No Massimo please leave.” It got quiet and then I heard him say, “I’m sorry Bella, I love you.” Those words broke me and I started crying again. I think I’ve cried more the last few weeks than I did in a very long time. But this time it wasn’t abuse and I want to say it almost hurt more. A bruise can heal and you know when the next one will come but you never know when someone will lie to you again, or someone trying to kill him again. I think I cried myself to sleep that night because I woke up as the sun came up. I forgot to close the curtains. ‘Great now I’m awake.’
Massimo
I was tossing and turning in bed I couldn’t get comfortable; how did I ever sleep without my Bella? By 2 am I gave up all hope of sleeping I went to the kitchen and made me an espresso. I walked past the room Bella was sleeping in and put my ear to the door. I couldn’t hear anything, hopefully she was sleeping. I hope we never ever have a fight like this ever again. I just can’t sleep without her. I went to my office and tried to get work done but I was so distracted with Bella in the next room and the meeting that was later that day. I didn’t even think about how I will kill him, will I take a page out of Little Nick’s book and let him talk and then just shoot him or will I play with him first, what will cause the most harm. In both scenarios he ends up dead it just how much of his crap I will be able to listen to. I taught about everything how many men will I take in with me if Edcardo is also there, will my men be enough? Will Costa expect anything? That was probable the most important question. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up when I heard the door to the guest bedroom open. I quickly walk out of my office, “Bella?” She jumped when she saw me, she probable didn’t expected me to be in my office. “Morning Massimo.” “Bella, can we talk please?” “It’s early Massimo I’m not ready yet.” Then she started to walk away again. “Bella the meeting is today I really want us to be on a better foot before I walk into the lions den.” “What?” “The meeting that Costa organized with Romana is today, I’m finishing this shit today.” “Can I get coffee before we start talking Massimo?” “Yes, off course, I’ll make you some.” “Did you sleep?” she asked me. “No” was all I said. “And you?” “A bit” I made Bella her favorite coffee and made myself another espresso. She took the first sip and sigh. “Ready to talk now?” “What is there to talk about Massimo you lied to me and that is it.” “But I did it with good intentions Bella. I didn’t want you to get sick again I can’t see you suffer like that with that machine on you the whole night.” “And I can’t stand at an open grave when you are dead.” “It’s not the same Bella. I’m thinking about your health.” “Thank you, Massimo, but really, I think I can manage my own health if I have the right information. Is it because you don’t trust me? Is that why you don’t tell me stuff? Or lie to me?” “No Bella, I promise you it’s just because I’m thinking about your health it has absolutely nothing to do with trust. I trust you with my life. I just know you had a rough time the past few weeks in Italy I don’t want to make it worse.” “Massimo you making it worse if you don’t tell me stuff.” “I promise I won’t keep stuff from you anymore Bella.” “I’ve heard that promise before Massimo and every time you think it would affect my health you just lie again and then use my health as an excuse. I don’t like it.” “I understand Bella and sleeping without you last night was terrible and it made me think. I really don’t want to sleep without you ever again. I can make you a promise that I’ll never do it again, because I’m a selfish bastard and want you next to me always, I can’t sleep without you.” She gave a half smile. “Does this mean you taking me serious for a change? No more lies?” I lift my right hand like they do in court, “I swear I’ll never lie to you again.” “Good. Now are everything sorted for today?” “Yes, everything I could think of.” “Is there time for a nap before you go, you can’t go looking like that.” “Does this mean you forgive me?” “Yes, Massimo I love you to much not to forgive you.” I walked over to her and pick her up, she laughed as I carried her to bed. As we get into bed, I set the alarm clock for 10 am it was just past 6 now and I pulled her back to my front. Then I gave her a kiss in the neck. “I love you more than life itself Bella.” “I love you too Massimo.” Then both of us passed out and slept until my alarm woke us up at 10 am. Bella stretched out next to me. “These few hours made a huge difference Bella.” “I’m glad, you need to be vigilant today.” “I will be I promise.” As I walked to the bathroom to take a quick shower Bella said “Massimo.” “Yes Bella?” “End it today.” “I will Bella, I will.”
