Heartless Heart

Chapter 66

Alex

I started to work. It went sometimes. It's lunchtime. I stood up.
I walked out of my office. I went to the kitchen. I saw Bella trying to reach for a cup. Looks like she is struggling.
I walked up to her. I grabbed a cup and put it under the machine. I clicked on black coffee. She looked up at me. "Hey," she said. I nodded as I looked away. "Alex," she whispered. I looked at her. "What?"
"Why are you acting like this?"
"I'm acting normal."
"No, you're not."
I sighed. I grabbed the cup. I gave her it. I grabbed another one. I filled it with black coffee. I grabbed my cup. I walked away.
I went to my office. I sat down. I sighed. I don't want to act like this with her, but what she said, forced me to act like this.
The door opened. I looked toward it. It's Bree. Bree works with me in my mafia group. What is she doing here?
"Hey, Alex."
She has a big smile on her mouth. Her voice is filling the room.
"Hey, Bree."
She walked closer to the desk. She jumped up and sat on it. "How are you?"
"It's been a while."
"I'm fine, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine too."
I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," I said. The door opened. It's Bella. She drove in. Bree turned her head and looked at Bella.
Bella is focusing on Bree. "Yes, Bella?" I asked. She looked at me. She drove to me. She sat beside my chair.
"You have to sign these papers," she said as she placed the paper in front of me while looking at Bree. I looked at the paper.
I have already signed this. What is she talking about? I looked at her. She is still looking at Bree.
"Bella, I have already signed these," I said.
She looked at me. "You have?"
"Mhm," I said. She looked at the papers. She grabbed my pen. She stroked over my name where I signed. Why is she doing that? She is acting weird. "Now you haven't, so sign," she said as she looked at Bree annoyingly. "Bella, why did you do that?"
"Just sign."
She lowered her voice. She kept looking at Bree.

I raised my eyebrows. God, this girl can be so random sometimes.
I sighed as I signed. "So, Alex, do you have a girlfriend in your life?" Bree asked.
"Well, if she is special enough for you to tell me," she said. Bella looked at me.
"You probably don't know, but Alex doesn't tell me the girl he is dating if she is not special enough for him," Bree said while looking at Bella. Bella looked at her. "Oh, really?" Bella asked. "Mhm."
"How many have he told you then?"
"I think two, there were two girls he dated and told me about them, guess they were special for him," Bree said. God, this is not the right time to talk about this. Doesn't look like Bella like hearing this. "Oh, what are they called?"
"I can't tell you if Alex doesn't allow me," she said. Bella looked at me.

"You don't mind, right, Mr. Belinskij?" Bella asked. I looked at her not saying a word. I just don't want Bella's mood to get ruined. "Oh, come on Alex, they are your exes," Bree said. "May I ask what's your name?" Bella asked Bree as she looked at her. "Bree," she said. "Mhm."
"So Alex, do you mind me telling her?"
"It's not important," I said.
"Oh, come on, I want to know," Bella said as she looked at me. I looked at her.
One of them works on the floor below, I don't want Bella to know her and then meet her. Not for a reason, it's just I don't want Bella to get annoyed.
"I'm telling her," Bree said. Bella looked at Bree. "One of them is named Evelyn, she works on the floor below," she said. They aren't special. The only one who is special to me is Bella.
"And the second one is Vivian," she said. "So Alex, do you have a new girl in your life?" Bree asked. Bella looked at him. I can't say yes. I can't let her know that Bella is my girlfriend.
Since Bree is working in the mafia with me, I don't want her to know I'm dating Bella. I don't want the mafia thing to be involved in our lives. I promised her.
I looked at Bella.

"No," I said knowing very well I was hurting Bella. But I can't say yes. Bella's facial expression changed. She looks sad and disappointed.
"Oh, boring," Bree said. Bella looked at the paper. She grabbed the paper fast. She quickly turned around. She drove fast toward the door. She opened it. She drove out. She slammed the door after herself.
I sighed. Fuck, I didn't mean to hurt her. I wish she could understand.
"Wow, what happened to her?" Bree asked. I looked at her. "Nothing."
I looked down at some papers. The door opened again.
It's Bella. She got in. Why isn't she sitting in a wheelchair? Why is she walking? I told her not to.
