His Guilty Pleasure

39

Vittorio's pov :

Vincent drove in the mansion and as soon as he reached the front door, he jumped out of the car and barged in the house.

I quickly followed behind him with Leonardo in my side and ran to the door.

I suddenly heard Vincent yell my name and Leo's and I ran as fast as I could inside the house.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Valentina's unconscious body in Vincent's hands and stopped in my tracks as I felt my whole body freeze.

"Is- Is she?" I let a silent whisper that I'm sure only I heard and kept my breath as I waited for Vincent to tell me that she's okay.

"She's alive. You go find Bella and Leonardo, search the house for the fucker." Vincent told us and I felt a wave a happiness run through my veins as I nodded at his words.

Leonardo started to run to the kitchen and I tried to think of where to go.

A million thoughts kept forming in my head when suddenly, I remembered Vincent's words.

"Find Bella."

Suddenly, all the thoughts froze and my mind kept repeating that one name.

Bella.

Bella.

Bella.

Oh fuck.

I quickly moved from my place and ran up the stairs as I reached her room. My hand trembled as I moved it closer to the knob and I closed my eyes as I slowly turned it to the side and opened the door.

I waited for a second and gathered all my courage as I slowly opened my eyes.

Please be ok.

Please.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Bella's unconscious body on the bed and felt my heart drop.

How do we walk again?

Left leg and then right or both together?

Right then left.

I moved my right leg and then my left one followed begind.

Step.

Step.

I slowly reached Bella's body and kneeled to the floor right beside her.

I looked at her closed eyes and felt the time stop as my hand reached for her own one.

I tangled my hand with hers and slowly moved my thumb on the inside of her wrist.

Please be ok.

Please.

I closed my eyes as soon as my thumb reached her wrist and my breath hitched as I waited for her heartbeat to bring back my own one.

As soon as I felt her slow heartbeat on the tip of my thumb, my eyes opened again and I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding.

"Damn it Bells, you scared me so fucking much." I mumbled under my breath as I sat on the bed next to her body and cupped her pale face.

Suddenly, my eyes caught a small white cloth on the floor and I picked it up to inspect it.

As soon as I touched it, I threw it back on the floor disgusted as I felt that it was wet.

What the fuck?

I slowly picked it back up and moved it closer to my nose to smell it.

Chloroform.
