Bellissima

Author’s POV

“Jasmine”

Bella called her after landing back to America.

“Bella”

Jasmine quickly got up from the bed. She looked at the watch, it was 2 am.

“Pack your bags… Meet me outside the house, we are leaving.”

Bella informed her.

“You are coming, right?”

Jasmine noticed her sad tone.

“Yes, i am coming… Give me few minutes… Where are you now?”

She asked while taking down her suitcase from the cupboard.

Jasmine quickly threw her clothes in it and her other personal stuff. Everything which is special to her.

“I just reached near our house, I will stand at the backdoor…”

Bella replied.

“Bella, please hide somewhere… If our father see you then he will create big issue.”

Jasmine warned.

Bella was standing under the tree, waiting for Jasmine. She wasn’t feeling good after leaving Alexander but she tried to make her heart understand that he is not the right guy for her.

But her poor heart has already surrendered to Alexander.

“This is the new beginning… Away from all toxic people. My Jasmine deserve better.”

Bella mumbled to herself.

“Bella”

She heard Jasmine and looked at her. Bella rushed towards her to help her with bags.

Jasmine hugged her tightly.

“God! I missed you so much. Are you alright?”

She looked at Bella.

Bella nodded with smile.

“Perfectly fine… Let’s go away from this jail”

Suddenly lights of their backyard switched on and their eyes widened when they saw there father.

“How dare you step into my house”

He yelled at Bella angrily.

Bella flinched back but this time she wasn’t going to back out.

“I am here to take my sister with me, Carl…”

She said.

“How dare you take my name”

He gritted, soon her all family came out after hearing her father.

“Bella?”

Her mother Amanda came out, strangely her mother’s name is also Amanda.

“Amanda call the the police”

Carl ordered.

“Yes call them”

Bella countered.

“I want tell them how my father has abused me all these years.”

“Bella please”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her mother pleaded.

“Please apologise to your father and come inside… You have caused enough problems, enough now…”

Bella looked at her in disbelief.

“I haven’t done anything… Tell your husband to apologise to me”

Bella replied.

“This is what I am getting for my kindness?!…”

Carl looked at Amanda.

“This ungrateful girl”

“You did nothing but abused me… I wish I could have been orphan…”

She looked at him hatefully.

“Rather than having a father like you… Why only me?… You never raised your hand on anyone else.”

“Then you should be happy that i am not your father ”

He declared and Bella looked at him shocked.

“Carl please don’t do this”

Amanda pleaded while holding his arm but he pushed her back.

“She needs to know…”

Carl glared at Amanda.

“I can’t pay for your mistakes anymore… Enough is enough. Look at her, look what monster you have birth.”

“Father don’t say like this… We know you are upset with Bella but she is your blood.”

Jasmine said wrapping her arm lovingly around Bella.

“She is not my blood…”

Carl said hatefully.

“She is a bastard… Result of your mother’s mistake which i hide by giving her my name…”

Bella looked at Amanda In shock and she looked down with guilt.

“Why didn’t you kill me”

Bella questioned with watery eyes.

“Because it’s a sin… We couldn’t abort you. I had no option but to give you my name… Otherwise you would have ruined my reputation.”

His words were venomous.

“You should be grateful that i showed you mercy.”

“By abusing me?”

She looked at him hatefully.

“It wasn’t sin for you?… To hit a child, lock her in the dark bathroom, humiliating her with each word, showing her down, beating her whenever you get the chance… Tell me! Does your god permit you this?”

She yelled.

“Yes, because you are devil’s child… You have Dirty blood in your veins… You are dirt”

He spat madly.

“Carl, for the sake of God… Please stop…”

Amanda cried pulling him away from Bella.

“Why should I stop… Isn’t she have the same qualities. Beating and hitting people. She almost killed that boy, it’s in her blood…”

Carl stated.

“Ask where were she?… Just pray to god that she haven’t killed or robbed someone else.”

“Thank God You are not my father, first time i feel like God is there…. Who is my father?”

Bella asked ignoring his hurtful words.

“Ask your mother”

He gritted.

Bella looked at Amanda but she looked away with guilt.

“Jasmine, leave her and come inside… She has no place in our house”

Carl said.

“No, father… I am with Jasmine…”

She said not leaving her hand.

“No matter what but you have no right to abuse her or humiliate her… Whatever happened, wasn’t her fault. She was innocent…”

“You are talking back to me for this dirt”

He asked madly.

“She is my sister… I love her”

Jasmine said firmly.

“She is not going to step into my house, Jasmine… Have i made myself clear.”

He yelled.

“Don’t worry, I don’t want to stay in your house either… We are leaving… We don’t need your toxic house.”

Bella replied.

“Jasmine?”

Carl looked at her shocked.

“What is this?… You are leaving your father for this girl?”

He looked at Amanda.

“Look what she did to my innocent daughter, she is corrupting her mind.”

He blamed.

“Father please… Bella is innocent… I am not leaving because of her”

Jasmine yelled with glossy eyes.

“Bella is right, you are toxic… You can’t control our lives… You are our father not owner… I respect you but i can’t let you control me anymore.”

“What about Marcus, Jasmine?”

Carl asked.

“He loves you, what about that poor man.”

“That’s the problem, Father.”

Jasmine cried.

“You cared about his feelings more than mine… How many times I told you that i don’t love Marcus but you are forcing me to marry him… I don’t feel good around him.”

“He is the best one for you… I am your father, i know what is right for you”

He scolded.

“No, you are wrong… I can’t take this anymore…”

She replied back.

“I want to live my life on my own conditions… I want freedom… I am sorry but i am going with Bella…”

“Jasmine, don’t do this…”

Her mother pleaded.

“It will destroy our reputation… We won’t be able to show our face to anyone.”

“That’s what you do”

Bella spat madly.

“Care about society, more than your kids and walk behind your husband like a blind cow… You can’t manipulate Jasmine.”

Bella grabbed her suitcase and started walking away with Jasmine.

“You will regret your decision Jasmine…”

Carl warned.

“Think again before stepping out because once you stepped out, my doors will never open for you.”

Jasmine held Bella’s hand tightly and kept walking.

“Don’t stop, Bella.”

She said with strict face.

“Good night ma’am… We are available here if you need anything”

The receptionist said with smile and handed her keys.

Bella smiled at her and looked at Jasmine.

“325… Let’s go.”

Jasmine and Bella went to their room and plopped on the bed.

“Bella how long we are going to stay in this hotel… We left the house but what next… We don’t have jobs, i have to drop out and you are zero in studies.”

Jasmine said.

Bella slapped her arm.

“Don’t miss the chance to point out my studies.”

Jasmine chuckled.”because you are dumb”

Jasmine teased and hit her with pillow.

“You are dumb.”

Bella hit her back with another pillow.

They laughed and giggled while playing pillow fight until they fell on the bed tiredly.

“No, I am serious Bella what next?”

Jasmine asked.

“We are going to buy apartment of our own”

Bella declared.

“What?… How much money did you get?”

Jasmine asked in disbelief.

“5million”

Bella declared and jasmine looked at her with dropped mouth.

“Oh god!”

“So we will buy apartment for ourselves and one cafe…”

Bella said with smile.

Jasmine’s eyes sparkled.

“Cafe?”

It was her dream to open her own cafe.

“Yes, i know you always wanted to do that… It’s your dreams.”

Bella smiled.

“Why are you doing so much for me?”

Jasmine’s eyes turned glossy.

“Because i love you and you are my only family.”

Bella hugged her.

“I missed you… You won’t hate me after Knowing that i am not your sister”

She sobbed.

“Stupid, you are my sister… Don’t forget we have same mother… And it doesn’t matter, you will always be my little dumb sister.”

Jasmine assured her.

“But are you okay Bella?… It looks like you have lost your spark.”

She asked.

Bella broke the hug and looked at her. Her mind quickly drifted to him. What he must be doing now? Will he notice that she is not there? Will he treat Amanda just like he treated her?

Her heart sunk when she thought that she doesn’t even exist for him, he will never know that she was with him.

But what if he find out? Will he come to punish her?

She gasped when someone knocked on their door. They looked at each other scared, thinking Who will come at this late.

Bella’s heart Started ramming inside her chest, thinking about the worst.
