Eloping

Bella looked very poised and defiant as she pointed the gun at him. She was nit joking at all.

"Bella drop the gun you don't know how to shoot" Miguel quickly alerted her in a shaky voice so that she won't do anything stupid.

The determination on Bella's eyes shone as he said this. She wasn't joking with him either. She held the gun with her birth hands and looked into Miguel's eyes with love.

"I will shoot you and myself with gun if you attempt to leave this house and meet them" She said again.

Still holding his hand above his head, Miguel felt his heart moved by this little gesture. "Why can't you leave me alone Bella Trump? I'm of no use to you, let me face Agatha, they are my people. Go with your dad, you'll be safe there as I'll come for you when things are normal again"

"Shut it! Stop talking I say. Did you think you can just ask me to marry you out of the blue just to ditch me for some fight? Either we fight this together or die here together!" She replied yet again looking very defiant.

Miguel suddenly felt his heart swell up in passion for this woman who is ready to pass through all these for him. He had initially told her to go with her father since he was the man target of both the Agathas and the immortals.

Ignoring the weapon she was holding, Miguel moved closer to his wife and hugged her startling Bella. "You are so foolish Bella Trump. You wanna risk your life to stay with a traitor like me, I will never let you go"

Another series of hot tears streamed down Bella's face too, "I will never leave you rude jerk. Even if Dad wants, you have made me your and it stays that way"

The two were still engaged in a passionate hug when another series of gun shot rained down upon the house making Bella and Miguel disengage.

Bella looked very scared and afraid as she slapped Miguel's chest urgently, "What shall we do now? They will breach the wall soon and destroy everything if you don't show up?"

Miguel smiled cheekily, "You look all confident earlier now you're scared of gun raining down on the villa?"

"Stop this Miguel, this is not the time to make cruel jokes, let's think of a way out please" she almost cried.

He stroked her cheeks, "So far I have you beside me, I fear nothing"

He quickly held her hand so tight despite the sharp pain in his leg that was shot, Miguel checked the wall clock, the time is 2AM.

He ran back to their room with frenzy while he was holding he hand. "Did you have your passport here?"

"Yes why?"

Miguel nodded and in a quick succession, they had grabbed the passports and the necessary documents. When he was done, they rushed back to the entrance even though the gun is still raining heavily.

Just as Miguel and Bella were about to step outside, the raining of the gunshot stopped and Miguel's phone rang. It was his Grandpa.

"Yes old man?"

There was silence between them before Charles Rodriguez rashly declared, "Find a way to leave that house, I will have my men take care of them"

Miguel only hummed and then took Bella's hand a again and they dashed towards the guest bathroom. Bella could only follow him blindly like a fool as he moved some tiles and a staircase leading downwards appeared.

"What is this Mi? Where are we heading to?" She asked finally as they continued to descend the stairs.

Miguel could only whisper, "This is my secret passage, Grandpa called that he would take care of things so let's leave the country for now"

Bella was dumbfounded. She looked at him, there's no emotions or expression on his face save for the love he had for her. They continued walking down the stairs until they came to a car pack with which the best cars in the world are packed.
Bella was so much amazed that she opened her mouth in wonder and couldn’t close it. “Mi is this all yours? The big cars are yours?”
Miguel smirked as she unlocked one of the cars with the remote control of the car.
“This is my car collections, and there is a secret passage that leads to the airport, we are passing through there” he explained hastily.
Bella nodded and followed his lead.

\~~~
As they drove through the lonely road to the airport, the ride was quiet and of course which Bella tried to brighten up with questions.
“How will grandpa deal with those people? Will he say you are not a traitor or what?”
Miguel’s eyes was on the road at this time and trying to get to the airport so he could treat his wound that was by now painful. He didn’t want to tell Bella what he was felling so she won’t worry.
“I am a traitor who married my enemy’s daughter so I deserve to be killed but Grandpa will take care of it and we shall come back to the country by next week or next month perhaps”
She fidgeted with her hand for a moment, “Awwn, I will miss my set. I am shooting a scene with Trevor Quin next week, I pray everything gets settled by next week”
Miguel frowned at what she just said but didn’t say anything. “So where are we going to?” She asked but Miguel was so hard to read at that moment. Bella was surprised that he suddenly kept quiet (she had forgotten that he had an injury)  'Is he jealous at this moment? She thought when Miguel still remained quiet and just focused on driving.

“Mi? Why are not an…….” her voice was cut off when his phone rang and he pressed the accept button on the screen of his car to answer it. Bella saw the name Ross on the screen.

"Boss everything was ready as per your instruction, Grandmaster has instructed the other members to retreat" she heard the man's voice spoke on the other line.

"Alright, I am on my way now to the airport just keep me updated" Miguel answered before he pressed the end button on the screen still frowning and quiet.

Bella got tired of this so much silence so hissed, "Why are you suddenly silent? Is it because I talked about Trevor? Well, Just tell me where exactly are we going?"
