Bellissima

Author’s POV

Massimo placed Bella on the bed.

“Can you please call the doctor?”

Grace said worried.

“On its way”

Massimo replied stepping back from the bed and looked at Grace.

“You were there… What happened to her?”

“I don’t know…”

Grace gulped nervously.

“We were standing in the corridor… She suddenly came out crying, Alexander was following her… They were arguing on something… She started crying and fainted… Dominick took Alex with him.”

“Do you have any idea?”

He looked at Anamika.

“Or you guys have decided not to tell me anything… Why this girl is in this condition?… And why Alex is not with the girl he wants to marry…”

Anamika rubbed her face and sighed.

“Bella is pregnant and Alex don’t want the baby.”

Grace’s throat tightened after hearing that. Here she is dying for the baby and Alex is fighting not to have it.

Anamika noticed her glossy eyes.

“Grace… I am so sorry you have to deal with this… If you are not comfortable then__”

“I am fine… I should stay with Bella… She needs us.”

Grace gulped down the lump in her throat.

“Is he out of his mind…”

Massimo gritted.

“He should have been careful if he wasn’t ready… Now there is no going back…”

“Dad, I think he asked for abortion that’s why Bella was fighting… I am not sure but he sounded like that.”

Grace Informed.

“He did what?”

Anamika asked in disbelief.

“I am not sure”

Grace repeated.

“He is out of his fucking mind.”

Massimo cursed.

“May i come in Mr. Marino…”

Doctor was standing at the door.

“Yes please…”

He nodded.

“She fainted and she is pregnant…”

Doctor did the check up while Massimo was fuming in anger and Anamika was standing in disbelief.

“She fainted because of stress… In this situation you should make sure that she is free from worries otherwise it’s not good for the baby… And please consult to the doctor who is consulting her with pregnancy…”

He stood up.

“I can’t give her medicines without consulting her Doctor…”

“No problem Doctor… Thank you”

Anamika said and he left.

“Where is Bella?”

Their head snapped towards the Alex who came inside panicked.

“She fainted?”

He rushed towards her. Grace rolled her eyes when he sat beside her and caressed her head.

“It’s all because of this baby… I can’t let it ruin her health…”

He said madly.

“You are the only one who is ruining her health…”

Massimo scolded.

“You should have been careful if didn’t want this.”

“I did dad… I was careful but it happened…”

He said annoyed.

“You asked her to abort it…”

Anamika asked.

“Yes i did and i know you guys are also against it but let me tell you nothing can change my mind.”

He said leaving no space for argument.

“Are you fucking crazy Alex…”

Anamika scolded.

“She wants this baby… Have thought about her choice…”

He stood up and faced her.

“What choice Maa… Bella herself doesn’t know what she wants… She is not ready for the baby, she can’t even handle herself… What about her studies and career… It’s too soon…”

Frustration was clearly visible on his face.

“It looks like you are not ready for it… Talk for yourself Alex not her… As much i know, she is more than ready…”

She stated.

“I am doing it for her own sake… She needs to understand what’s good for her.”

He shook his head.

“Let her decide what’s good for her…”

Dominick entered and stood beside Grace while resting his hand on small of her back.

“Atleast you don’t talk about it… I am aware how much choice you give to your girl…”

Alex glared at him.

“Alex!”

Anamika warned him.

“I don’t want this Baby… End of the topic…”

He turned around to pick up Bella but Massimo stopped him.

“Keep her down… She is not going with you…”

He said in Stern voice. Alex frowned at him.

“I said keep her down…”

He warned.

“And come out… We need to talk…”

With that he walked out.

Alex placed her down and followed his father.

“What the fuck is wrong with him?”

Anamika grabbed her head and sat on the bed beside Bella.

“He has lost his mind.”

Dominick replied.

“I have important meeting… I have to go…”

He pecked Grace’s lips.

“I want to stay with Bella… Is it okay if won’t come?”

She asked.

He nodded and left.

“I am worried for Bella…”

Grace sat beside Anamika.

“The man you love, doesn’t want your baby… How does it feel?”

Anamika sighed.

“She will have this baby if she wants to… With or without him…”

She covered Bella with blanket.

“I don’t think she has consulted any doctor… I’ll look for a Good Doctor for her, you stay with her.”

Grace sat there beside Bella till she woke up.

Bella opened her eyes with throbbing head and heavy eyelids.

“Ohh you are up… Do you need anything?”

Grace asked helping her to sit back.

Bella looked at her confused. Room wasn’t much familiar and she was still in daze.

Slowly all memories crashed back on her. Her eyes watered again.

“Bella it’s okay… Don’t cry, please… It’s not safe for the baby…”

Grace wiped her tears.

“Everyone is with you… Even Dominick… Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to your child… Alexander will understand…”

“I don’t know what to do…. My head is hurting…”

Bella mumbled.

“I just don’t want to loose this baby… I wish Jasmine would have been here…”

“Should I call her?”

Grace asked.

“No… Don’t…”

Bella stopped her.

“I am your sister too, Bella… You can share anything with me. I will always be there for you…”

Grace assured her.

Bella placed her head on Grace’s shoulder and closed her eyes.

“I don’t want to loose any one of them…”

She mumbled.

***********

“This is not how it works, Alex… Handle things like a man…”

Massimo scolded him.

“I know what i am doing Dad…”

He replied.

“Abortion is not the solution… You think she will trust you again… You can’t force it on her…”

He tried to make him understand.

“I am not going to force her… I will convince her for that…”

He said.

“It won’t take long to break trust, Alex… Whatever you have gained till now is on the edge… And it’s in your hands if you want to save it or ruin it…”

Massimo sighed.

“Child is not the problem… Your way of dealing with this is… Choice is yours…”

“I want to see Bella…”

He demanded.

“Your mother has taken her to the doctor… I guess you haven’t consulted with doctor yet… Talk to her when she comes back…”

He replied.

Meanwhile Bella was with Anamika and Grace in the hospital.

“See i told you baby is fine… You are worried for nothing… Smile now.”

Grace tried to cheer her up.

Bella smiled at her.

“Thank you…”

“Maa is completing the procedure… Because we both are dumb in Italian…”

Grace laughed to lighten her mood.

“You can’t speak Italian either?”

Bella asked.

“I am learning… But i am not good yet… I will make fool of myself.”

She shrugged.

“I need to learn too…”

Bella sighed.

“I need to use washroom…”

“Can you go alone, should I come with you?”

Grace asked.

“No it’s fine… I am feeling good now… I’ll be back in few minutes.”

Bella assured and walked towards the washroom.

When Bella finished her business and came out she saw Valentino in front of the door.

“What are you doing here?”

She asked shocked and worried about his presence.

“You have no idea how I managed to reach you… Alexander made it impossible for me…”

Valentino grabbed her hand and dragged her in the corner.

“Leave me…”

Bella jerked her hand back from his hold.

“Bella… Please listen to me… You need to hear the truth…”

Valentino pleaded. He was looking weak than before. Dark circles around eyes, dull and defeated face. He was looking exhausted.

“There is something which Alex doesn’t want you to know…”

He said and she frowned.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“I have a proof…”
