Beauty and her Beast:The Don's obsession
Chapter 34 - 33: Dunno

Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Dunno

Bella’s pov

That day, I sat down with Emilia and we talked alot, almost like two long lost best friends and I realised talking sometimes helped.

After eating while talking, I asked her about her husband and she told me he went out for his business and won’t be returning till it is over.

I am showed my room and I express my gratitude to her for the beautiful room, it called out my name the moment I stepped in with how comfortable it looks and lets not forget the bed and the whole theme of the room being a light shade of grey and blue.

"Thank you again Emi" I say turning to face the beautiful woman.

"If you say thank you, one more time, I’ll hit you" She says with a playful glare which makes a smile to spread on my lips.

"Apologies mam, Nathan must have a lot of work dealing with you" I tease and she giggles at my words when I mention her husband.

She could not stop talking about him and tho I barely know anything about love, I know for sure that she loves him and vice versa.

I enter my new room after a goodnight and head straight for the bathroom.

Omg, it looks devine and chic, after a shower and a starring contest with my reflection, I step out and make my way to the room and just then the door opens with Emilia poking her head.

"Sorry, just wanted to drop these" She says showing me the clothes in hand.

"Thanks" I say with a teasing smile knowing she doesn’t like it when I thank her.

Grabbing the set, I realise it’s a night dress and also some ubderwear and clothes for tomorrow.

’People like Emi are really hard to find’

’While people like Don Raffaele are easier to find, tho not all are as psychotic as he is"

After putting on the nightdress which I just discover is new from the tag still on it, I fold the others and drop them on a chair before throwing my body on the bed and ibstantly sleep envelops me.

"Baby"I hear a deep, husky voice whisper against my ear as I feel a warm breath caressing the skin of my neck, I groan trying to ignore the sound and sleep peacefully.

"Mine" The voice growls again and this time I feel a kiss on my neck, I twist away from it but I feel myself being held in place.

Slowly, a hand crawls from the middle of my stomach, up towards the partings of my breast and rests on my neck in a choke hold.

"Why did you leave me" The voice quedtions and this time I detect pain from the voice and longing.

With each word, the hold tightens on my neck and I find it impossibly hard to breath properly.

"Please let me go" I whisper while raising my hands to get rid of the choke hold but that only seems to infuriate him.

"Never, you are mine and will remain mine forever" He grits out his words coming out and finally, I recognize the familiar voice of the Don.

"Don" I call out but all I receive is a sinister laugh.

"Say my name baby" he whispers seductively in my ear while using the tip of his tongue to lick my earlobe.

"Raffaele" That is when I let out a gasp and my eyes shoot open, I realise I was sleeping and had my own hand holding myself in a choke hold.

Trauma

I say and stand up from the bed before entering the bathroom to pee, wash my face and brush.

I need a long work

I conclude finally.

One thing I’ve learnt through out life and living with Rafaele at this very moment is that people can be creeps, secret creeps and no one will know about it.

Simply because they hide it and appear normal in front of people like us.

I feel myself shivering from cold a little but I hold everyrhing back in.

I have promised not to let anything make me go back.

After eating, I start moving towards my second destination and If I’m being honest I have no idea where I am headed to right now.

Finally I see a bus station which is all but calling out my name and I rush towards it, thank God.

I sit on the bench and patiently wait for the bus to come while nervously fidgeting with my hands.

I felt insecure and kept looking around the place, a sigh of relief passes through my slightly parted and cold lips when I see the bus arriving.

Quickly getting up from the chair, I make myself into the bus after putting in a coin and settle in the seats.

I had told Emilia today that I needed to get somethings and tho she insisted on helping I just had this urge to go check on the outside world and see what is happening.

After sitting in the boss for what feels like hours but is just merely minutes, I make my way outside while arranging the cap that is currently used to cover half my face and arrange my face mask.

Entering a supermarket, I get somethings and turn to walk out.

"Miss you dropped something" A man says from behind me and I freeze in my spots.

Fear holds me down and I find myself shivering, asking myself question.

What if he has caught me

Lord I am done for.

After muttering a small prayer, I turn around to see a petite man holding the bag which contains the apples I just gotfor myself and I collect them with a polite smile before sprinting away.

I make my way to a very familiar bakery where I used to visit and it used to be one of those places that just provides peace and comfort for me, after opening the door and the small bell chimes in response, I make my way towards the counter to order.

"A cake please, chocolate drink and a doughnut" I say and when my order is ready, it is placed in a tray and I make my way to the back of the cafe where I settle myself, I start munching on it while my heart soars in bliss at the taste.

"This is heaven" I say to myself and when I am done with my cake and doughnut, I move to the drink and waste no time in gulping everything down.

When I am done, I stand up and make my way outside.

I walk idlely for sometime, just thinking about my life and what to do. I had told Emilia I’d be stepping out and tjo the kind woman didn’t know what was wrong or who is chasing me, she expressed her fear of me being caught or worst hurt.

With a reassuring smile, I walked out and here I am thinking while feeling like my mental health is at risk.

I see a phone booth and make my way towards it before picking up the phone, after paying I quickly dail my mom’s number which has been stuck with me since childhood.

It rings and rings and just when I give up hope of it connecting, it does.

"Hello" The moment I hear her voice, emotions come crashing down on me as I suddenly feel all the previous weights being lifted from my shoulders.

"Mama" I call out, surprised by how timid my voice comes out and soft, I hear a deep exhale from her side before she lets out a squeal.

"My baby, bells" Mama says and I nod my head while crying and at the same time a chocked laugh escapes my lips.

Mama lets out one of her own and warmth spreads through me.

"I missed you bells" She says and with that she starts scolding me and also telling me to be careful and all that.

’Typical mama bells’ I say internally.

"Where is my boy, Raffaele pass the phone to him and why are you using another number to call what is wrong anf you voice bells, are you sick. Goodness I know the don will take good care of you and don’t worry we will soon end our trip and will be back home soon" The moment she mentions his name, I look around the place, nervous and scared and I find my body trembling.

The man hadn’t done anything big to scare me but his words and sometimes his actions are enough to terrify any sane human being.

I start walking again and this time taking the familiar route of the house which I am now temporarily staying.

Mama managed to sooth me but I just wish she was here, with me and that I have a shoulder to cry and lean on when things have become so hard.

I start wondering when this madness begin, so much so I am busy wandering the streets.
