What on earth is going on in that brain of yours Bella Trump
After Bella and Miguel had settled down, Bella made a video of herself in the house and sent it to her friend Camilla who was so surprised at her progress over the past few months they’ve seen each other.
Camilla was very supportive as a friend which is why she was so happy that her friend finally got to have a happy family.
Bella was still busy with camilla when Miguel came back. "I haver something to discuss with the team, I have to call some investors too that I’m around, Make yourself happy before I come back” Miguel said as he kissed her forehead before leaving her to be.
As soon as Miguel departs, Bella ended her chat with Camilla and thought of calling Charles Rodriguez. Even though she hasn’t had any real conversations with him since she was hospitalized, Bella just feel the need to hear his voice.
Charles Rodriguez answered the call almost immediately and he felt teary because he made her pass through so much.
“Grandpa I miss you” Bella confessed slowly.
From the other end, Charles Rodriguez managed to hold his excitement, "My dear I’m very sorry. All these are my fault. I was the reason you ended up marrying my grandson, I am very sorry for making you go through all these” Charles Rodriguez pleads followed by a sudden silence.
When the silence had lasted well enough, Bella felt she should say something so she began, “Actually, you don’t have to worry yourself too much grandpa. I was the reason all these happened. I was so unaware of the enmity between you and my dad so much that it brought this huge calamity. I miss you grandpa please stop saying all these” She said with a cheerful tone. The she heard a long deep sigh from him.
“I miss you too my daer. I am just so sad that this old man here can’t do much. Your father was so hellbent for power and revenge he refused to remember that his daughter was married to an Agatha man. Just be safe Bella, that is the only thing you can do for me”His voice sounded as someone heavy-hearted.
Bella quickly reply, "Stop saying nonsense grandpa. What you are doing for us all is nothing to compare with. You raised Miguel to be such a fine man alone. Even though you lost your real children, you never take out the anger on him, you are the best Grandpa”
Bella suddenly broke into sobs as she said this. She really wished she meant all she was saying. She really wished she had another option to make things right again perhaps turn back the hand of time to the night she was taken to Miguel’s room, but all that are dreams that can never come true.
'I will have to leave your son eventually Grandpa, I hope you understand me better that it was for his safety’ She muttered to herself silently as she continued sulking.
“Are you still there?” Charles’s voice interrupt her and Bella sniffed before replying with a meaningful smile, “I am happy that I get to meet you in this lifetime. In my next life, I really pray I marry your grandson again, maybe by then, there wont be any Immortal Mafia after us”
Charles was silent again as if analyzing the meaning of all she just said but he smiled, “Alright my dear, I love you, take care of yourself always and don't skip meals most importantly" then he hung up.
As she dropped the phone, Bella’s sobbing resumed its toil as she cried like never before.
She was so startled when she felt strong arms on her waist from behind. She was sure it was Miguel because of his familiar scent.
"You are too sweet to my grandpa. You even cry after talking to him, I wonder what emotional secret you two are sharing to the extent of not noticing that I’m behind you” Miguel murmured while he was burying his nose on her neck.
Bella sniffed and chuckled through her swollen eyes, "Are you eavesdropping? Of course I’m so emotional while talking to grandpa because he’s more handsome than you” She said jokingly.
"Remember I’m younger than him. What a foolish judgement you’re making by calling him handsome. Also, I want to hear those words from you." Miguel muttered like a child in tantrums.
"But you are not grandpa? Maybe I will tell you emotional words when you become one” Bella said to tease him.
"Ouch!" Bella cried out. Miguel suddenly bit her neck.
Miguel laughed hard and said, "There, that's your punishment for neglecting me."
"What are you, a Mafia heir now turned to a frustrated vampire because of some emotional words?" Bella exclaimed as she quickly turned around and bit his neck also in return.
But to her surprise, Miguel's eyes looked dangerous that moment. Those eyes were like a wolf that had seen a prey to feast at.
She can't even stand his intense stare on her so she quickly turned around to walk towards the door and said, "Hmm, I will go down first to check what we have for dinner. Oh right, I will cook something for you, I am sure you will like it."
But before she can reach the door, Miguel suddenly pulled her to him and said in a hoarse voice, "where do you think you are going? Yes, I am hungry right now but not for food."
"It's almost dinner. Let's eat first. Because I am sure you are very much hungry right now for food." Bella blurted out laughing.
Miguel was still holding her body next to his and the grumbling noise of his stomach killed the tension between them a while ago.
Miguel's lips twitched. 'Damn this stomach. Why betray him and kill the mood?' he cursed inwardly.
He ignored Bella and was about to kiss her when a louder grumbling was heard.
"Urghh."
Bella laughed so hard and pulled herself out from his embrace.
"Come here now or I'm afraid you’ll have to forget you are the boss of Agatha when all the parasites inside that stomach burst out from all openings to eat your limbs” she said still laughing as she held his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
As they were just inside the kitchen, an old woman came rushing like a wind into the house calling Miguel as if he was dying.
Miguel and Bella heard which made them out of the kitchen. Immediately they saw the woman, miguel hugged her.
“Oh my Mi, is this you? You have grown so much and even more thinner, don’t you eat anything?” the woman asked as she inspected Miguel from heard to toe.
Miguel smiled, “grandma I miss you. Since I don’t see you around I thought you’ve gone to get some herbs”
Bella only stood and watch them until the woman noticed Bella, “Oh, This is my wife. Her name is Bella”
Bella bowed slightly. "This is my grandma, I mean not really my grandma but I heard she’s that old man’s lover before he got married to my real grandma. Mrs Odette” Miguel said as he introduced the old latter to her.
The latter laughed as she walked over to Bella with a smile, “Charles had called me that he made you marry a woman, she’s so beautiful”
“Hello Odette Mama, I’m so pleased to meet you”
"So what do you think about this place? Or do you prefer Charles’s house because I heard you live there? And how did you deal with that blood thirsty monster? I heard he’s your father?" Mrs Odette asked with a concerned and irritated look on her face.
Bella had no idea what she was talking about so she looked at Miguel as if to ask him what the older woman was talking about. Mrs odette realized this so she continued, “I mean Carter. That boy has always been so obstinate and wanting things that doesn’t belong to him, I was so…..”
”Grandma don’t you think you should call Charles?” Miguel asked diverting the woman’s attention. She seems to understand that her opinion is not needed so she took the excuse to call Charles and left the couple.
“I’m sorry I can't stop her, she talks too much” Miguel apologized but Bella only smiled,
“You don’t have to worry, I love her already, at least I’ve found a talkative like me” She smiled to lighten the mood before dashing to the kitchen.
Miguel just stood there in daze wondering, ‘What on earth is going on in that brain of yours Bella Trump?’
