“Come on” Vincenzo ushered me inside, I nodded my head and walked inside. I walked inside and felt like I needed to check up on my parents right now, “I’ll be back” I spoke up and walked towards the door.

“You, okay?” He questioned I nodded my head “I just … I need to check something” he nodded his head slowly watching me leave.

I made my way towards the clinic a gut-wrenching feeling twisting my insides, I held my stomach and walked inside quietly trying not to tip them off that I was in the room.

“You fucking betrayed me! And now look where we are! If they fucking find out what we did Vincenzo will have our heads that’s if Isabella doesn’t get to us first” My dad screamed out.

I stayed back my eyes widened shocked, holding onto my stomach feeling my breathing becoming more rigid “she won’t find out! Besides it’s your fault Mario! You’re the one that wanted revenge against the girls … against me!” Mama shouted out hurt.

“ME! IF YOU DIDN’T SLEEP AROUND, WE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS FUCKING MESS.” He shouted out.

Cheated? What the fuck is happening. I looked around confused and in denial at everything I was hearing "IF YOU KNEW THE GIRIS WEREN'T YOURS YOU WOULD HAVE KILLED US ALL" She shouted.

What? “Well good thing I found out before our supposed death and kidnapping” he mocks.

“I just wish he didn't let her escape.”

“If Isabella finds out what you did, she’ll kill you!” Mum whisper yelled he growled and slammed his hands on the bed “she’ll kill us both. You didn’t object to any of it when I told you, you said it was your way of making up for your cheating”.

My breathing picking up pace as I listened to the horror that was unfolding “and whose idea was it to kidnap-” before he could finish his sentence my senses went into overload and everything around me turned black.

THE TAJO DE RONDA

Vincenzo’s POV

I quickly got out of bed making sure Dante was okay and sound asleep, heading out of my bedroom I shout “Luca watch Dante I’ll be back” I called out and quickly made my way to Isabella.

I know she wants to be alone, but something was telling me to follow her, like if I didn’t something bad was guaranteed to happen, I walked in the clinic slowly and saw Isabella crouched down against the wall. She had her hand over her chest she looked like she was having a panic attack.

Exactly like I expected her arm fell to the side and her body collapsing from underneath her. I quickly jumped towards her catching her mere second before her head hit the floor. Not wanting to make any noise I quickly carried her out, “come on Isabella” I whispered as soon as we were out of the clinic, I looked behind me and couldn’t help wondering what the fuck she heard that made her collapse.

I carried her back to the estate and up to our bedroom and laid her down grabbing a glass of water I sat next to her as she slowly regained consciousness. Slowly opening her eyes, she looks at me relieved “was I dreaming?” She asked desperate for me to tell her that that’s all it was. I sighed and shook my head “it’s okay slowly” I whispered helping her sit up.

I handed her the glass of water which she took with appreciation, I sighed looking at her I didn’t know if I should ask her what happened I mean do I even have a right to know? On one hand they’re not my parents but on the other if she found out something that could threaten my mafia and especially our son, I have the right to know.

I decided it was best to just let her rest, and not push her just yet. “Isabella are you okay?” I whispered moving a strand of hair away from her face tucking it behind her ear. Her state wasn’t settling, she’s shaking and whispering to herself like whatever just happened triggered a mental episode.

“Nothing I’m okay” she whispered trying to come back to reality. I shook my head “something’s made your eyes go dark.” I pointed out looking into her eyes, her once emerald, green eyes now looked back at me hollow and dark. She slowly looked up at me, and in her state her eyes somehow softened when they connected with mine, she let out a breath nodding her head slowly.

“Promise me something” she whispered. I nodded my head immediately “anything” I spoke out. Biting her lips, she looked over at Dante with a longing expression “if anything happens to me, you won’t turn your back on our son. You won’t stop loving him and you will never let him forget me” her voice cracking as she spoke.

I stepped back looking at her, “Isabella don’t talk like that please” I coughed shaking my head not wating to so much as imagine a life without her in it, memories, or no memories. “Vincenzo … please” she begged like she knew there was a chance she might not be here in the future. “I promise” I reassured her.

She nodded her head slowly taking in a deep breath, “are you okay?” I questioned softly she shook her head no. “Do you want to talk about it?” she shook her head again looking down, I nodded my head and sat next to her.

Pulling in her shaking body as she eased into me slowly calming down. “I think you need some rest, lay down” I ushered her, but she clung to me scared shaking her head. I sighed holding her tight, I looked down at her, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes looking back and forth not being able to focus on anything while he nervously chews on her bottom lip. Her grip on my shirt was also deadly.

I laid down lying her with me, starting to hum. Knowing the one thing that might work in helping her calm down and take her mind off everything. “I know you haven’t made your mind up yet” I classically sign out, keeping my voice deep and low with a hint of softness to it. Her head flies up looking at me shocked not expecting me to sing to her, “but I will never do you wrong” I rub circles on her back resting the side of my head on top of hers. “I’ve known it from the moment that we met” placing a soft kiss on her head, “no doubt in my mind where you belong” I hummed before continuing feeling a little nervous suddenly. “I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue. I’d go crawling down the avenue. No, there nothing that I wouldn’t do”. I finished off smiling at the sight of her asleep, so calm and peaceful with a small smile dancing on her lips. She felt warm and familiar, solid and safe. I wanted to hold her tight bury my face in the curve of her neck and never let go. Focusing on her breathing and listening to her heart beat I knew … I was screwed she would drive me to insanity and id happily allow her.

Slowly opening my eyes, I look down seeing Isabella in the same position when we fell asleep, rubbing her leg up and down I widen my eyes looking at my already grown erection. “Cazzo” I curse under my breath moving her off me and rushing to the bathroom.

Splashing myself with cold water I look at myself in the mirror, after all this time still unsure of who was staring back at me. I sighed picking up my phone and calling the clinic “I made a decision I want to remember” she spoke about the drug and gave me an appointment to come in. Hanging up the phone huffing out “spero di aver preso la decisione giusta” (hope I made the right decision)

“Vincenzo?” I looked out the bathroom door and saw Isabella waking up, I finished up in the bathroom and made my way to her. She let out a stressed breath and ushered me to sit, “I need to talk about something.” I nodded my head sitting down slowly not sure if I was ready for this conversation, I looked at her anxiously waiting for her to continue, “it’s about my parents. There uhm-” her voice cracks, pulling her into a hug “it’s okay take your time Bella” she closes her eyes taking in a deep breath.

“I think there the reason I was kidnapped, and I think they intended for me to be killed by Xavier. Also, my mum cheated on my dad so the man who I fought for and went through my most traumatic time not only isn’t my father but is the man who deliberately put me through it.” She went to look up at me, but I pushed her head back on my chest because the reaction on my face is probably not one, she wants to see at the moment.
