Chapter 53: Chapter 52:Saved and mixed feelings

Third pov

Bella stares at the people present in the room as mixed feelings threaten to envelop her.

She doesn’t even know what is wrong with her and she is still trying to digest the fact that someone she doesn’t know tried to kill her by constantly poisoining her.

She is just lucky that it was detected in time as the doctor has said it would have led to either paralysis or her death, fear coats her mind at the thought of either one of those things happening to her.

She would never forget how Raffaele had flipped at that revelation and how he looks just about ready to murder somebody before storming out of the room and since then she hasnt set her eyes on him.

He made sure she was saved and for that she doesn’t know how to thank him enough or what to feel towards the man at the moment.

Mixed feelings.

The man has been causing a tornado in her for weeks now and this one seemed like the highest of he has done, not forgetting he has practically fed herself and her mother all their lives and for that she is more than greatful.

Emilia, Angel, Emiliano,Nathan and even Ethan is present in the room and they are busy chattering in other to make her feel entertained.

Her mind moves back to what it felt like to be dying and she cannot help but shake her head.

At that moment it was like life was flashing right before her eyes and it was at that time she realises how much she hadn’t appreciated life well enough, lived to the fullest or even done something that will truly put a smile on her lips, she thought about all the people she’ll be leaving behind who love her.

Her mama

Mama Vincenti

Papa Vincenti

Angel

Emiliano

Emilia

Ethan

And strangly Raffaele Vincenti the beast.

His face remained there and she could vividly remember the horror on his face when he had seen her on the verge of death.

Now all she has towards everything and everyone are mixed feelings.

Starring at everyone in the room now she cannot help but feel grateful.

"I think we should go on a picnic" Angel suggests after they are done arguing on what to do together when Bella gets better.

The parents were called to be informed of Bella’s condition and her mom had flipped, the way she started crying and the look on her face had Bella crying also and it took alot to convince her mom that there is nothing to worry about.

She heard her mom whispering something about a ’Truth’ but didn’t dwell on it because after she asked, her mom became ailent and told her it is nothing.

In a basement.

"Pl-please" A groan escaps Raffaele lips at that word and he glares at the man in front of him.

"All the more reason why this is your end" He says with a dangerousky low voice.

Eros who is sitting there as Nathan suggested one of them had to be around Raffaele in case he flipped.

They all know the amount of damage that would cause and that is certainly something they are all avoiding.

Eros stares at the man who is chained in front of them with a rare look of pity as he knows the man is about to go through hell on earth.

Raffaele doesn’t forgive but this is on a different level.

Standing up from his chair he stalks towards the trembling man.

"You see, I never joke with my life" Raffaele mutters still stalking towards the man "But you decided to joke with it" He is now standing in front of the man with his hands in the pocket of his trouser while his face is completely blank.

"Now you’ll know why I am called Raffaele Vincenti and if you are to have a next life you will stay away from things that are labelled mine" With that he raises a small knife kept on the table while the man who is chained trembles.

He has heard horrot stories about Raffaele and that is enough to turn him into a puddle right now in fear, All the stories aren’t pleasant and he knows the man is to be avoided.

He had made it clear that his family was not to be touched even by his enemies and only the ones with death wishes attempted a hit on his family.

Now standing in front of the man, he trembles in fright and his eyes widen when Raffaels places the knife directly at his shoulder blade.

"Goodness" Eros who is silently watching chuckles in amusement and that is when Raffaele realises that the man he has not even started torturing has gone limp.

Alexander runs a hand through his silver hair and throws his head back laughing as his shouldwr tremble from amusement, Raffaele however doesn’t find it funny as he glares at the figure of the man who has suddenly gone limp and without warnung jabs the knife into his shoulder with a force that has the man convulsing.

"Beautiful" Is all that escapes Eros’s lips as he smokes his cigerette without so much as a scare.

The man busy being tortured, screams out in pure agony and th instantly has Raffaele grinning widely, a sight that makes his friends shake their heads in amusement at his actions.

"I am sure by the time you are done with him, he wouldn’t be able to give you the information you desire" Alexander states matter of factly and Eros rolls his beautiful dark eyes at Alexander.

"Ever the good one pope" Eros grunts and the other man in the room who hasn’t bothered with saying a word chuckles at that but just remains hidden in the dark without saying a word more to what the men in the room.

Funny how they all turned up to watch Raffaele torture a man, partly for fun and to make sure the man doesn’t go bersek.

Eros is the one who barely says a word but is ruthless while Alexander is a calm and collected devil who could set a soul on fire and yet the world wouldn’t believe because of the man’s beautiful features.

The man is known to be calm behind all situations that are happening but that is just a beautiful facade he has mastered, one that has proven to work perfectly over the years.

He easily has anything he wants and could kill his enemies with what he deems he finest smiles stretched on his face as he makes his deals.

"Fucking start confessing" Alexander tells the man who looks like he is about to lost it at the next moment.

"Bring the blowtouch" Raffaele asks for and the moment the sentence escapes his lips, Eros is up and grinning like a man that hs won a lottery.

He has a specific liking to fire.

The doctors had diagnosed that she was poisoned and a lethal one at that, it is a miracle that her body started reacting against the poison which was meant to last in her body for days undetected before crimpling her then make her paralysed and finally kill her, a slow painful one that is guarantteed to give her immense pain even in the coma indused state it would put her through.

Just recalling the words of the doctor has Raffaele clenching his fists in anger as he glares at the barely breathing man in front of him.

He had destroyed the doctor’s office in rage and it was a miracle the man got to leave his sight alive and that was all thanks to his friends who were present.

He was aware of their presence because whatever volcano brewing in him is just waiting for the right to erupt and he knows that is what they are tryig to avoid.

"Raffaele’s volcano" Alexander would call it with a playful smile that has all of them laughing back in the days.

They go way back and their friendship and attament isn’t just built on words but with blood.

Raffaele is about to continue when suddenly a phone is placed on his ear and the soft voice he hears instantly melts his heart.

"Raffaele" He can hear the uncertainity and the hesitance in her voice, something he plans on erasing even if it has to do with him fucking it right out of her.

He doesn’t reply and it is not because he doesn’t want to but because at that moment all his words become stuck in his throat as all that his brain is registering is her soft voice and how he almost lost something so precious.

"Raf-Raffaele" Bella calls out again when she receives no answer from the man who she thought is ignoring her.

"Baby" Raffaele breathes out after what seems like an enternity, the blowtouch in his hand falling on their own accord as he raises a hand to hold the phone and the other runs through his black mane.

"What is it my love" He asks softly, she rarely called and what is rarer is for her to ask him for something which is something he wishes happens all the time.

"I-I want-"She stutters unable to complete her sentence.
