Chapter 45: Chapter 44:Home

Bella’s pov

My legs start bouncing with excitement at the thoughts running through my brain at that moment and I cannot help but be very happy and excited as I am finally going home.

Not to the place in which I have been held captive for months but rather the place which I love and have so many memories in.

I feel happy after taking Emilia’s advice but a bit guilty as it feels as if I am doing nothing but trying to trick the don.

Now sitting close to me in the car and busy typing God knows what, he is dressed in a black button up which has the top two buttons open and showing a teasing view of his neck and chest and then black suit trousers with black dress shoes.

The man likes to wear the same set of clothing that goes exactly with his unpredictable mood.

I am wearing a very pretty silk like polka dot dress that is knee length with cute white flats with a bow at the top for decoration and a simple chain that is silver and earrings with face bare and hair in a bun.

I feel hands creeping up my back and that is enough to bring me out of my day dream as I stare at the man beside me with wide eyes.

"Don" It comes out before I can control myself but the man doesnt react at all.

His hand finds its way to my hair where it removes the rubber holding it and now my brown locks fall freely around my shoukder and down to my waist where it stops.

He doesn’t say anything and just weirdly keeps on massaging my hair like its going to do something or change something.

I feel myself start relaxing and betrayal of a body, leaning into his touch and welcoming it.

"Baby" Raffaele calls out softly and I turn to face him only to see him handing his phone to me.

"You must be bored" He says carefully studying my expression, the hand tangled in my hair seizing movement for only a brief second before it resumes.

"Thank you" I say with a wide smile and collect the phone from him, immediately I do I go straight to tiktok and unfortunately for him and fortunately for me ice cream is the first thing I see.

I don’t know what got over me or prompted me to turn and face him with a bravery I never knew I had.

"Raffaele" I call out to him, trying to sound soft tho I succed more than he does as whenever he tries to call my name softly it just comes out different, with his voice being deep and all.

He looks elated that I called out his name and with that his whole attention is now focused on me.

It’s ok Bella remember he said you can ask him for anything.

He did say so

Did he?

God, why did I even call out his name??

How am I going to begin.

"Baby" The feeling of rough yet warm arms careressing my face snaps me out of whatever trance or mental debate I am in and I find my face so close to him my face turns red.

"I-I-It’s nothing" The stuttering makes me cringe internally when I realise I sound stupid even to my own ears.

"It’s ok baby you can ask me anything" He says his voice still calm and soft.

I shake my head as much as I can with my face still being cupped in his huge palm.

When he realises I don’t have the intentions of going on with whatever I was about to sy, his eyes narrow.

"Ahh" It comes out on reflex when he moves his hand to my hair and tugs me with my hair towards him, not enough to hurt but just enough to startle me and make me move to his will.

"Say it" This time it isn’t a request and now it is a command, one I know it’s better to obey.

"I want ice cream" I blurt it out before I can control myself and I can see surprise taking over his features.

"I’ll call someone to go get it" He says with a satisfied hum after placing a warm tender kiss on my forehead that threatens to make all my insides go muchy muchy.

"I don’t want that" I say again and he raises a brow.

Starring at me intently, both huge habds of the man cover mine and he attempts to pull me closer to his body when half of me is literally sitting on him.

"I want us to go get it"I say watching the way he stiffens and a victorious smile almost aplears on my lips.

Almost.

I think now he’ll stop forcing me to start saying my thoughts out loud as I know the man absolutely dispises crowded places and is definitely not about to go to one for my sake.

"Baby" He clears his throat, running his hand through his hair and I can see he is thinking of ways to explain why I shouldn’t step out of the car.

A plan starts fomulating in my head and before I know it I am already staring at him with eyes half hooded with tears.

I don’t say anything and after the first water drops, I turn my face away from him and stare at the other side.

His intake of breathe has me clenching my fist and when I feel the touch of his hand on my chin, I will myself not to turn and face him.

"Hey" He calls out softly but I don’t bother turning to look at him.

"Fine baby girl but we cannot stay there for long" I am surprised by his words and I am sure it is shown on my face when I turn to face him in astonishment.

"Really" I ask trying to keep my happines in and not to make it so obvious.

A squeal escapes my lips when he nods his head and I don’t realise when I am hugging the man till he chuckles.

The man hates public places so much and I know of that, because he avoids going to these places and only does so when necessary.

He instructs the driver and soon we are driving to a location where the driver says they have the best ice cream.

On getting there and just sighting the small building, I am about to dash out of the car when Raffaele holds my wrist to stop me.

"Not yet angel, wait till he comes back" With that I nod and impatiently wait for the driver who makes his way into the ice cream parlor.

I start wondering what is taking him so long till he steps out and makes his way towards Raffaele’s side of the car and after a nod, he opens the door for him.

Raffaele steps out and his hand is outstretched for me to take which I gladky take before giddily steooing out.

I take in time to admire my sorroundings and my mouth pulls into a small frown when I notice the amount of guards present and the men holding guns.

Thank God this area isn’t crowded else we’d be getting weird looks from people.

"Let’s go" With that I am being led into the ice cream parlor and at that moment my mouth just hangs open as I stare at him.

"We-Welcome ma’am sir" A boy comes and greets and for some reason, he looks frightened by something which honestly puzzles me.

Raffaele can be scary but right now he is not glaring or anything and has his face set straight which I guess is scary too but still.

"Thank you" I answer and he nods his head while the hand holding mine just tightens his hold.

We sit down and I tell the man to get me chocolate while Raffaele doesn’t say anything.

"Why is there nobody here" I wonder while starring at he cozy beautiful place.

It’s comfortable and since its meant for ice cream its colourful and bright.

No wonder Raffaele agreed to enter, it seems they aren’t having customers today.

"Raffaele" I whisper loud enough for only him to hear and gesture for him to scot closer and he does.

Not that there is anybody here to evesdrop.

"Let’s buy more ice cream" I whisper to him and he raises a brow at that.

"You can pick everything if you want amore" My cheeks flame at his words and I shake my head.

"Not for me but for the guards and everyone, seems they are not having customers today no wonder that man looked nervous" I say shaking my head in pity and Raffaele looks amused by my words.

"Baby" Raffaele calls out and I stare at him, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"The ice cream parlor is emoty because it’s now yours" He drops a bomb.
