"You tell me what you would do if the person who got you pregnant doesn't remember you! If he doesn't trust you!" I shouted.
"I PROTECTED YOU! I WANTED YOU SAFE AND AWAY FROM ANYONE WHO CAN HURT YOU BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T DO THAT ON MY OWN WITHOUT MY MEMORIES" He erupted all his emotions were surfacing.
I pound the car seat with my fist. "Who gave you the right to protect me, Vincenzo?! The moment you forgot me I died! I no longer belong to you!" I hissed. In the second it took him to turn and face me, his expression had transformed back into anger. He leapt towards me his hands on the edge of the seat closing me in, leaning into my face.
"WELL, I BELONG TO YOU!" The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips panting. "I belong to you," he whispered, his anger slowly melting as he realized how close we were.
Faster than I could comprehend he smashes his lips to mine, and before I knew it my body and lips immediately reacted, and I melted into the kiss.
We both pulled back out of breath, our chest rising and falling in perfect sync.
THE NICKNAME “LEONE”
Isabella's POV
Looking up at him he moved back to his seat not making a sound. His intense stare never leaving me, making my body shiver. I bit my bottom lip, letting out an ironic laugh he raises an eyebrow confused.
"It's just ironic the first time we see each other again all we did was fight" I shake my head.
"Was it always like that?" he asks softly looking at me. I looked back up at him sighing "yes, but that's just us." I explained briefly, he softly nods his head.
"I'm sorry" I whispered softly, he looked at me taken back nodding his head slowly unsure of what to say. I let out a deep breath "I'd love you to meet him ... officially " I trailed off "I'd love to" he speaks up after a moment of silence, I look confused "After watching his birth I want nothing more than to able to finally hold him" he elaborates further. I nod my head looking out the limo window before realising what he just said.
“You what?” I asked stunned, he was there? He watched the birth, but he didn’t come inside.
“I wanted nothing more than to walk in that room and hold my son, but I wanted to respect your decision. I thought maybe you would eventually tell me or that my brother would want me to meet my son and would speak up. I was wrong.”
I took in a deep breath feeling the guilt eat me from the inside out. The limo finally came to a final stop, outside the house. I sighed, "come on" I gestured him to follow me.
He looked at me with widen eyes "now?" he asked alarmed.
I looked at him sheepishly "I think you've waited long enough" I admitted sadly.
"What if-" I cut him off shaking my head.
"You're going to be the best dad" I emphasised, getting rid of any doubts I know he had. I nodded him along and walked towards the door waiting for him, I looked around seeing the cars surrounding the streets nodding my head before each car took off one by one.
Vincenzo looked down at me shocked noticing how every car drove off after I allowed it, I shrugged my shoulders sheepishly "you didn't think I'd leave him without protection?"
I looked back at the door unlocking it and walking inside. "Where have you been! We missed you" Lorenzo shouted coming into view, before closing his mouth staring at Vincenzo behind me. "Why is he here?" Lorenzo harshly spat out, I looked at him confused at his outburst.
"Why shouldn't I be here?" Vincenzo matched Lorenzo's energy getting agitated. "Okay ..." I trailed off trying to think of something to say to calm everyone down, Sebastián, Alex and the rest of the men quickly left the house leaving me alone with the King brothers and my baby. “Cowards” I harshly whispered.
"No, tell me Lorenzo why the fuck shouldn't I be here? So, you can play dad to my fucking son?" He harshly spat protectively pulling me behind his tall frame, I went to speak up before Lorenzo got in his face.
"Why is this man in my house?" Lorenzo commented. I widened my eyes looking at the two of them ... didn't they fix their problem I thought they were back to being close what is happening. “This isn’t your house, its mine” I reminded Lorenzo that Vincenzo built it for me.
"The better question is why haven’t I been here all along" Vincenzo snapped feeling isolated from myself, his brother, and his son. I stepped in between the both of them "okay stop, Lorenzo I don't know where this came from, but Vincenzo is Dante's dad and like you pointed out he has the right to see his son and as Dante's mum only I have the right to make that decision." I pointed out firmly looking at him.
"Why should he be allowed back into your life after everything he did to you?" Lorenzo hissed, I looked at him confused "What?" I asked completely unaware of how to handle the situation. “You know he had no control over what happened” I pointed out feeling the need to defend Vincenzo.
"All he did was hurt you, why should he be allowed here" He repeated himself, he threw his hands in the air frustrated "Oh and you fucking dropped your panties at the sight of him didn't you?!”
I looked at him taken back, my mind struggled to comprehend the words that just left his mouth, shock washed over me like icy water. I couldn’t think to do or say anything I just stood there paralysed in disbelief. My pervious state of shock now slowly being replaced with anger, my vision narrowed, my eyes locking onto his, I felt my breath quicken, chest rising and falling rapidly as I struggled to regain composure. I wanted to scream and throw something at him, I wanted to go crazy at his low comment. Seeing my reaction it dawned on him, he just realised what he said, his eyes widened lowering his hands looking at me remorseful "Isabella I-" I put my hand up ignoring him "Isabella?" I taunted him "Isabella what?!" I shouted pushing him back.
"You out of all fucking people should know-" I started shouting before he cut me off, “know what? How fucked up the two of you are? How screwed my brother is? How fucking much he hurt you? I know it all” he shouted getting in my face. Next think I know Vincenzo lunged towards Lorenzo the two of them on the floor punching each other, "ENOUGH!" I shouted.
Both came to a halt, "I've been there for everything where the fuck where you? I'm basically his dad" He hissed, "how could I have been a fucking good dad if THE BOTH OF YOU KEPT MY FUCKING SON A SECRET?" Vincenzo finally snapped, "It's one thing that I thought I would never be a dad, because I didn't want to scar him like dad to me. It was one thing that I thought I would be a bad dad but the fact that my own fucking brother kept him from me and tried replacing me ..." he shook his head trailing off, I looked at him guilty. “It was one thing thinking I was going to fail my son, it hurts a lot more that you thought that as well. Especially since I raised you, does that mean I failed you?” he asked getting slightly emotional. I looked over at Lorenzo whose features softened, he looked remorseful not knowing what got into him he let out a breath, "Vincenzo I never thought-" my head snapped towards my bedroom at the sound of Dante crying, cutting Lorenzo off. I shook my head disappointed and Lorenzo for some reason took it upon himself to get Dante. He came in rocking him but Dante kicked and cried even harder, I looked between him and Vincenzo both of them on edge but Vincenzo's eyes now locked onto Dante, he didn’t care about anything or anyone else in the room. He looked at him with admiration and more love than I ever saw in his eyes.
