Bellissima

Author’s POV

“Alexander, if he is abusing that girl then kill him…”

Massimo said and Alexander looked at him shocked.

“Dad?”

Alexander couldn’t believe in his ears. He looked at him in disbelief while Massimo was sitting calmly on the couch.

“You know our rules, Alex… I have given you freedom to do anything, do anything you want. Everything which i have earned is yours but i won’t tolerate if you and your brother is using it to abuse girls… I won’t tolerate it…”

He said looking at Alexander.

“Don’t play with girls lives… Don’t use your powers to abuse them…”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“I know that very well dad… But are you heartless enough to kill your son for that?”

Alexander questioned.

Massimo smiled bitterly, he stood up and walked towards his study table. His eyes saddened when he looked at anamika’s picture which was on his table. He gently traced her picture, hiding pain behind his straight face.

“People call us monster, Alexander… They think we don’t care about anyone… May be they are right. I was called monster my whole life, i don’t want my son to call me that, so i think it’s time to tell you the reason behind it. You are now at that phase where you would do anything to get that girl and may be your brother is doing the same. He might have chosen the wrong path…”

He sighed.

“Two most important women of my life.”

He turned around and looked at him.

“My sister was kidnapped”

“You had sister?”

Alexander looked at him shocked, he never knew that he had an aunt.

Massimo smiled.

“Yes, she was so pure… Like an angel born in devil’s house… She was kidnapped and raped… I did save her from them but i couldn’t save her from herself… She killed herself, couldn’t deal with that trauma. I tried everything to save her but i failed…”

Tear escaped his eyes.

“A_And who is the second w_woman?”

Alexander stuttered as if he knows, who is that. He knows now there is only one woman in his father’s life.

Massimo took a deep breath.

“Your mother”

Alexander’s heart broke into pieces when he heard that. He loves his mother more than anything.

“She was___”

Massimo couldn’t find words.

“You don’t have to…”

Alexander said knowing how difficult it must be for him.

“You need to know my son… So you won’t do same mistake… It’s very common to misuse powers when you can. You need to understand where to use it… You need to realise that your every action has consequences. If you kill one man then you need to realise that he might have children and wife who are helpless. You might justify killing that men but what about his innocent children who has no idea about what’s going on…”

He said.

“Your brother, i don’t know what he wants from that girl but can you imagine the fear she must be feeling around him. Can he heal her trauma… Will he take the responsibility if she takes her life.”

Alexander stood there stunned as he heard reality from his father.

“Fear can damage someone to the core… Even now I see that fear in Anamika’s eyes. Whenever I get angry, she fears me… May be she see those monsters in me, after all i am mafia too… I still fear that Anamika will leave me like my sister… She still can’t sleep without me even after so many years, she has insomnia. I have seen her waking up with nightmares… Do you have any idea how hard it is to see my love in that condition?”

“Mother?!”

Alexander was too stunned to speak. He never thought that the mother who is strongest female he knows is broken from inside.

“She was kidnapped, raped and tortured for almost two years.”

Massimo declared and tears slide from Alexander’s eyes.

“But she didn’t give up like my sister… Not everyone can heal from the trauma, Alexander… We are mafias that doesn’t mean we can play with innocent lives… If your brother is doing it then he has no humanity left, better kill him and save that girl…”

Alexander gulped down his tears.

“I’ll talk to him”

He took a deep breath.

“Dad, is she fine?”

He asked about his mother.

“For now… Can you imagine what she will do if she learnt that her own son is walking on the same path…”

Massimo questioned.

“Anamika told me about that girl, Bella… She thinks that Bella might be victim of abuse by her father…”

“She looks perfectly fine, she is happy and smiling”

Alexander said.

Massimo shook his head.

“It’s not always the truth, my son… When i met Anamika, she was fierce, brave and her intelligence will make anyone scared. It felt like no one can touch her… I was smitten by that marvellous beauty but slowly i realized that she is actually broken from inside… Bella might be the same. I don’t know if you noticed or not but i saw that sadness bin her eyes when I was talking to raajnandini, she might have never received that love… Be careful around her, don’t hurt broken doll.”

Alexander nodded and bid his goodbye to his father. He has no idea how to react but he was angry, sad and in pain that his mother had to go through all that. He never thought that something like this will happen with him.

He stopped when he saw his mother, she was talking to Bella. Alexander’s eyes watered when he saw that beautiful smile which is his safe heaven. He is proud that she is his mother but as a son he is in pain. How can someone hurt such Angel. She make people fall for her just with smile then how can someone make her cry.

“Maa”

He said trying to hide pain behind his strong voice.

Anamika looked at him and smiled making pain erupt in his heart.

“Are you leaving?…”

She asked standing up and Bella stood up too.

“Can we stay for some more time?”

Bella asked, she was loving there.

“Alexander what happened?”

Anamika asked as she noticed that he is not okay.

He shook his head.

“I am leaving…”

He engulfed her in a hug.

Anamika hugged him back but this time his hug was different, it was protective, it was strong like he doesn’t want to let her go.

“Alex”

Anamika broke the hug and realised what has happened to him, she looked behind Alexander and saw Massimo.

“I love you”

Alexander kissed her forehead. Anamika looked at him with sad smile but didn’t say anything neither did he. They both understood the silence.

“I am fine… It’s late, you should leave now.”

Anamika smiled and kissed his hand.

Bella was watching them with smile not noticing the pain in their eyes. She frowned when Alexander walked outside.

She hugged Anamika and bid her goodbye.

“You can come here whenever you want, Bella…”

Anamika said lovingly.

“Really?… I will come back… He is Leaving i have to run… Bye”

Bella said and hurriedly followed Alexander.

He opened the car door and sat inside, Bella quickly sat beside him.

“Why are you walking so fast? Do you want me to leave behind?”

She complained.

Alexander didn’t say anything and started driving the car.

Bella looked at him and as always started blabbering.

“What happened to you? Aren’t you happy?… Your parents are so lovely but they look so hot together, your father is little rude but it’s okay. I think it’s his nature, he helped me with the food. Your sister is so talented, i saw her dresses, she is a fabulous designer. She said she will customize a dress for me, i am so excited… By the way do you make tattoos, Maa told me you can___”

Bella gasped when he suddenly stopped the car and looked at her.

“Get out”

Bella looked at him with wide eyes when he said that.
