The Mafia's surrogate

pains of regret.

The next morning, Marcelo woke up with Anna not in bed , he looked over at the bloody couch he opened up the blankets and saw blood stains on the bed.

He called her phone but it rang in the room , he walked downstairs looking for her but nothing.

He drove to her house but she wasn't there he called Marcy and she picked up " where is she?" , " we're at the hospital" he drove over immediately.

Marcy stopped him as he was about to barge in she slapped him and when she was about to do it again he held her wrist " I don't care wh..." , " you almost killed the baby!" , He let go of her " what?" , " she was a virgin Marcelo you should've been soft , you went in too hard , you almost killed both of them " , " she , I , we..." , You should've known better , you out of everybody knows you are an animal in bed you should've never touched her , you almost killed her !" She was now shouting the nurse came to them.

"Please keep your voices down " , " if you ever touch my sister again I swear to God ill take her away , a monster like you doesn't deserve her" she walked into the room leaving him with his thoughts outside.

Marcelo stood by the door looking at Anna through the glass ,  he opened the door and she flinched when he walked in he backed away and walked back out.

Anna didn't say anything to anyone, the bleeding stopped she stayed at the hospital for 3 days , Marcelo would visit but stay outside, she feared him and he hated that.

When Anna was released she went straight to Branley she didn't go back home or to Marcelo and he let her be as he didn't know what he'd say to her.

He didn't call she didn't text him. Two months went by quickly and it was already her day of graduation, Marcy and Patricia surprised her on her graduation day and she was the happiest.

They drove back home together, when they reached home Marcelo's father was already waiting for her with her parents.

She sat down after saying her greetings to her parents " father why are you here?" Patricia finally asked.

"To escort Anna to her new home " , " but fath.." , "Trish, Anna is carrying my grandchild she should live under protection I w.." , " don't worry I would never run away from our contract, ill go with you under one condition " , " what is it?" , " Marcelo will move out of the man room or I will stay in the guest rooms , he will not sleep in the same bed as me nor try to come my way " , " okay let's go" they got up and walked out.

They drove to the mansion and found Marcelo sitting with Marco , Lindsay and Steven , they walked inside " Belle" , " sit " his father voiced and he sat back down.

Anna sat down next to his father " you lot leave us " they got up and left Lindsay stayed behind.

" Anna is moving in , you will move out of the main room and she will be on her own , you won't speak to her , you won't try sleeping with her until the child is born , you" he pointed at Lindsay " if I see you threaten her once more you're out , your marriage is in 3 weeks focus on that , Anna will have her own helpers and chef , you two leave her alone " , " but father " , " you can take her to her appointments and only touch her if she lets you , do I make myself clear ?" , " yes sir " , " if anything happens call me ill come right over " , ,"mhhh" she got up and walked upstairs, her stomach was starting to show.

His father stood up and left , Marcelo got up and walked upstairs, he barged into the room to vent on Anna but found her peacefully sleeping with the pregnancy comfy pillow.

" how can I be mad at you when you're so cute " he kissed her forehead and walked out.

What Marcelo didn't know was that he would be busy the next few weeks and hardly had time to see Anna , Patricia would take her to the doctor and she didn't mind.

Its been two weeks though they live in one house Marcelo and Anna had not met , she walked in the house from her night scroll.

Marcelo was sleeping on the couch , she took the fleece blanket and covered him then walked upstairs.

It was a day before the weeding everyone was running around trying to do last minute things , Anna finally walked downstairs, she walked to the kitchen taking out a tub of ice cream.

She was about to walk out when one of Lindsay's friends stood infront of her.

" look at shamelessly walking around in someone else's house taking whatever you want like it's your own" , Anna just looked at the girl and attempted to move pass them but she pushed her back.

Alic was watching everything " if you dare show yourself tomorrow ill personally make sure , I'll kill both you and your child " , " okay" Anna answered and walked pass her.

The girl threw water on Anna " oops sorry it slipped" Anna just sat the tub of ice cream down and walked away , she bumped into Marcelo and his friends.

"Why are you wet?" , " i accidentally slip and water fell on me in the kitchen" , " Belle yo.." , " ill go get changed" she ran up the stairs.

"I get why you like her " Alic voiced walking towards Marcelo " what is it?" , " this is the third time ive seen that girl and not once had she shouted or threw a tantrum, she didn't slip one of Lindsay's friends gave her a handful and threw water on her and she didn't react she just walked away peacefully, she's perfect for you but too perfect " , " you watched her getting splashed with water and you didn't do anything?" Marcelo strangled Alic.

Anna walked down the stairs " let him go " she voiced the others turned to her and Marcelo immediately removed his hand from Alic.

"It's not his duty to protect me but yours , I wasn't in danger it was just water " ," Belle y..." , " I am going home for a while , when you're back from your honeymoon ill be here " , " Belle why can't you just listen to me once " , " I am listening tell me" she looked up at him but he could say anything, she walked pass him and out the door.

" why didn't you say anything?" Cole asked " I couldn't " , " why?", " cause he just realised he loves her " Nicolas voiced placing a hand over Marcelo's shoulder.

" she's beautiful and respectful though I don't know much about her , I know you go after her before its too late".
