Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Shrek

Bella’s pov

To say I am still in shock will be an understatement as I sit on the couch in Raffaele’s office while replaying the earlier scene in my head over and over again.

"Sister" Fiona had called out and immediately we both froze as she makes her way into the office room

I don’t even know who she is trying to put a fake smile on her lips for but it is clear as day the smile is fake.

She walks over and pulls Anna in what I’d call the hug that those rich old money british give each other before pulling away to use her hand to swipe through the air.

I am sure she has bad breath. If not , why would someone do that?

I don’t say anything and just watch how Anna looks slightly pissed as she tries to move away from miss shrek.

"You’re still here?" She questions her gaze moving round the office in clear distaste.

"I told mommy about all this and she is hoping to talk to uncle. I mean I wasn’t given a job here and I think it doesn’t suit you" She says her voice sounding so fake I wonder who she is trying to feign niceness for.

"Oh the Vincenti’s definitely don’t give jobs out to people that dont deserve it and maybe that’s why either ways they also don’t do charity" Anna says and I become pleased with the way she makes sure her own tone matches miss and I can her face already turning red from anger.

I watch them, surprised at the fact they know each other.

Miss shrek stands there for sometime and I must really commend her for how she tries to control herself in just a matter of seconds and she does.

She smiles and pulls Anna’s hand before making her sit on the couch and she mirrors her action.

"Bells" Anna calls out and I look at her.

"Sit please or do you want to go to Raffaele" She questions her voice low and soft.

Before I can reply, a little scoff from Miss Shrek has me raising an eyebrow.

"Does she also work here or perhaps one of Raff’s friends’ daughter or a distant niece" The way her eyes scan me from head to toe has me slightly amused and I don’t bother hiding it.

Anna glares at her at her words and parts her lips.

"Nope, she’s Raffaele’s woman" she says and I can now be blessed with miss shrek looking like she is about to lost it.

Her face turns pale as she looks like she is unable to breathe

Suddenly her face which looked rid of blood comes redbus veins stand in her neck.

She glares at me with a gaze I am sure is meant to intimidate me but I just stare at her.

I mean bitch

I stay with Raffaele Vincenti so I don’t see anything or anyone that can intimidate me as much as he does.

"What do you mean woman?" It comes out as a shriek of disbelief and I almost laugh.

Trust me I start enjoying the show so much that I feel sad that I dont have my popcorn with me and I am not watch the show.

"Don’t tell me his taste has changed or he is suddenly interested in something like this" This time she glares at times and she seems like she is tired of pretending.

"That’s what I thought too" I finally chirp in after keeping quiet for a long time seeing as people like this new snake certainly don’t deserve quiet.

"But the man seems to go for the younger and fresh one. I mean why buy old ugly mangos when you can buy the fresh one?" Anna says grinning up at me and I return the gesture with one of my own.

Oh lord, Anna is trouble and now that I think of it I know Emiliano now has a lot to handle from the beauty.

"Raffaele is asking for you" Emiliano says the moment he opens the door to Anna’s office.

Just as I am standing up, Fiona does the same with a triumphant smile on her lips.

"Bells hurry up he is waiting" That has her freezing just in her first step and I cannot even help the short small laugh that escapes me.

I watch the scene and I must say today is one of the most entertainment.

I stand up and have slightly to Anna tho I am still curious to know the story of all these things happening.

Stepping out of Anna’s office I make my way to Raffaele’s which does not take long and I enter without bothering to knock.

My gaze moves from the empty huge office chair before finally settling on the man himself.

Perchedvon the armrest of his couch, sleeves of his shirt folded till the elbow giving a view of his nice masculine hand.

His face is twisted in confusion and I contemplate leaving..

"Come here" I make my way to him and stand close while peeing into the document.

Strong big hands wrap around my waist and soon my body is flush against his.

"Are you bored baby" he questions and that is how I find myself here.

Seated on the couch as I wait for him to finish with his work before he takes.me to wherever he says he is planning to.

I don’t bother asking as somehow I am always surprised by the amount of spending the man does.

The mock on the door has me looking and the door is pushed open slightly.

"I thought you’d be down by now" She now has a small frown on her face as her gaze sweeps through me before she focuses her attention back to Raffaele.

"No" comes his short and clipped reply and she pouts before making her way into the office.

"I wanted to go out with you" She says stomping her feet in an annoying manner and steps in.

I almost wonder if she realises she just looked stupid doing something that childish.

She walks towards the far end of the couch and perches at the edge far from me like I am a carrier of a deadly disease.

Raffaele doesn’t reply to that and continues typing while constantly looking up to stare at me before focusing back on his work.

"Let’s go," Raffaele says, standing up and grabbing his things before heading towards me.

Miss desperate immediately stands up with a smile plastered on her cheeks.

"She is still a child Raffaele, what class is she and are you helping a friend look over their relative" She now asks her voice back to how sickly sweet it used to while talking to laughing in Raffaele’s presence.

The way she spits out the word child while eyeing one has me slightly annoyed and I raise a brow before slipping my hand into his.

"She’s my woman" Raffaele replies, his voice slightly thick with his accent as the words roll off his tongue.

"Well be leaving please step out" I can see this is the most polite Raffaele has been to anyone and I can guess one thing.

Anna’s father.

Raffaele and the others respect the man a lot and at that moment I understand why he is tolerating Miss shrek.

"Baby" Wrapping his arm around my waist before starting to lead me out.

The look he passes her is enough to make anyone give up on the man and for a moment I thought she would at least stop showing her strong liking towards the man so bluntly I am sure everyone in their lives knows..

We step out with her taking small steps behind us the annoying sound of her heels is heard with each step.

When out fully, we step out and I stare at her.

She looks frustrated and her gaze on Raffaele doesn’t falter and I almost coo at that but scowl when I remember Raffaele is too much of a stone.

"Get going" With that he grabs a hold of my hand and starts walking towards the elevator.

"She is related to Anna" I ask softly this moment inside the elevator.

Raffaele nods his head and presses on a burton.

"How" I question genuinely curious.

"She is her cousin" He simply says and with that starts my questioning as I soon find myself asking him different questions.

"How-ouch" I am cut off when his arms suddenly wrap around my waist and he pulls me strongly against his chest with his face borrowed in the crook of my neck.

"I don’t like you talking about others baby" I can sense how serious he is from his vice ."i want to be the only one in your thoughts and the only person you are curious about hmm" He says with his face still buried there the possessive voice not mistaken.

I freeze slightly and fight back the urge to roll my eyes.

What does he mean by that when he knows I am surrounded by different people and I am only human.
