Furious, trying to find Bella for a month, unsuccessfully, while her entire family, who are most to blame for all this, are on my tail. I told them it's not time for her to find out about the mafia. None of this would have happened, nor would anyone know she existed.
How do I know if she's okay, if they've hurt her, if she's even alive?
"Damien, I think we've found a clue." Said Connor, Stephen's son.
"I hope you didn't come to me with some nonsense." I'm going crazy.
"You won't be happy, but at least we know she's alive. Look at this." He said and handed me an envelope, which I opened immediately. Inside were photos, Maximilian and Bella, holding hands.
This is impossible. She's doing it forcibly, I'm sure of it. I know it's true.
"I want you to send all the people to that location where they were last seen, I want to return Bella to where she belongs, to me, as soon as possible." I finished my speech, and a second later there was a loud noise coming from outside the office.
I stood up abruptly from my chair, and Connor and Gabriel immediately followed me.
"What's happening now.." as soon as I said it, I saw two girls who were more than familiar to me. Bella's best friends.
"You! What have you done to our friend. Why is she nowhere to be found? We haven't seen her for a month, as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth. We can't get in touch with her. Do you know how we are. No one is answering our calls. We could not found anyone. Where is Bella? I demand to see her. If you did something to her, you will have to deal with me. I, Rosa, am telling you this right here in front of these dogs of yours." Haha, I looked at Connor and Gabriel who were looking at her as if they were going to jump on her and tear her apart at any moment.
Unfortunately, I wish I knew where it is exactly. The problem is that the girls don't know that Bella is in the mafia, as is the whole family.
"Come to the office, we won't talk in the hallway and make unnecessary scenes." I told them, to which she immediately wanted to retort, but I turned and entered my office.
"Sit down." I told them.
Connor and Gabriel immediately followed them in. While Gabriel sat on the couch, Connor decided to sit on the chair in front of my desk, but two chairs can't seat three people, so Teresa sat on her chair while Rosa, trying to fight her way to the chair, sat on Connor's lap.
"You!" Rosa told him while he just laughed at her.
"Will you get off me already?" He asked her, to which she gave him a look that said it all.
"No!" Loud and clear.
From Connor's look and behavior, I could see that he didn't care because he was a man after all and felt everything, especially when Rosa kept moving in his lap.
"Okay, enough. Stop arguing, we're here to solve the problem. Number one, Bella isn't here. Number two, Bella and everything around her is mafia. Bella is the queen of the mafia. Bella was kidnapped, by Maximilian, I believe you've heard of that name from Bella." The girls immediately nodded their heads as if yes, but they looked at me in shock.
"Bella is in the mafia? Max kidnapped her?? Well, she only had nice words for him, I don't understand what he did wrong.." nothing is clear to them.
"Like I said, and yes. She misjudged him because he's not what he seems. Look at this." I threw in front of them the photos of Bella with that cockroach.
At least we know that he's close to us, which is a very big mistake for Ruiz.
There's a lot that I still don't understand.
"Will you stop moving!?" Connor shouted, which made Rosa flinch because she didn't expect anyone to shout.
"Stop telling me what to do!" She replied in the same tone.
"I'm on the verge of taking you to a room and fucking you for hours, you better calm down." Not believing her ears, she got up from his lap, and slapped him.
"Rosa.."
"You piece of shit..."
"Rosa!" Teresa shouted, to which Rosa immediately responded.
She took the photo Teresa had given her in her hands and stared at it with wide eyes.
"What is this? This is photoshop. Bella would never do this, she respects you too much. Crazy." Everything is clear, and it's clear that Bella is unhappy.
Hang in there Bella. Just a little longer, we'll find you.
"I want to join the mafia." We all looked at Rosa in shock, Teresa froze.
It's not exactly what she thinks. But.. I have an idea.
"Stupid girl. You think that's the only way you can get into the mafia. Your brain is the size of a bean. You're not smart enough to be in the mafia, the strongest in the world. We can only fail with you." Connor told her.
"And you're like something better. You look like a skunk, and you smell like him." She answered him.
"I'd rather be a skunk and stink than not have a brain like you." He told her.
"And what are you bragging about, please tell me. I don't see anything clever or great." She looked him over and smiled at him, which also touched a nerve.
We're not going down a good path, and the worst thing of all is that we're all tense.
Connor got up from his chair and approached Rosa, who was concerned because he had come face to face with her.
If I don't stop this now, we'll just create a problem that's not needed.
"Connor. We have better things to do than this. Leave that for later." I told them, to which they both looked at me without saying a word.
"I want to get out of here. I don't want anything to do with the mafia, this is too much information for me." Teresa said and got up from her chair.
I didn't expect this because she's a friend of Bella's, but I understand her. I know this is all hard for her to understand. Not everyone was born into the mafia.
"I'm here, I'll protect you. Don't betray Bella out of fear. We'll sort everything out and we'll save her." My younger brother Gabriel said, to which Teresa looked at him with warmth.
No one here is normal.
"Are you sure you can protect me?" She asked him, while Connor and Rosa looked at each other with the utmost hatred.
"Now that we've sorted everything out, it's time for a good plan to save Bell." I told them what they were listening to.
Every wrong step in creating a plan to save Bell is a big minus for us, and it will be harder to find her. I've never had a good word for him, and for good reason. In the mafia, most people try to be nice to every mafia without war, but the Spanish mafia is a little special in that regard, especially now that all this has happened. Let me mention that Maximilian is the son of the late Dante who fought with our mafia when Bella's dad was leading it. They never had peace, until they killed him, and I plan to do the same with his son. Maximilian must die.
His death is our salvation, our freedom.
The quarrel of these madmen in front of me took me out of my thoughts.
"Is that enough!?" I shouted loudly.
"If you don't care and if you don't want to participate in this, then move away and don't create a problem, if you want to help, then that would be fine, then make friends, even if it's fake, for the period until we find Bella. Is everyone clear?" Everyone immediately nodded their heads even though they looked at each other with hatred.
Now that we've resolved this, let's get back to creating a plan.
Bella, I hope you're okay.
