Bleed My Love

Chapter 15

" Listen, Leo, you got to communicate with Annabelle in a different way, it is obvious she does not want to be with you by the way you are handling the relationship with her". Alex calmly suggested Leonardo.

Leonardo exhaled he really looked tired." Look I am being patient like never before, I am giving her all the time she needs, to complete her studies, to focus on her life which I am part of too but it is in her nature to make my mood sour, she is deliberately trying to make me hate her, she knows I am not going to break her anytime soon so she is doing all of this," Leo gave a thorough answer to his brother.

" So what about all those hookups"? Alex asked.

"Alright", Leo held his both hands up, she fucking cries and pushes me when I want to kiss or hug her, I am a grown-ass guy, I will look for other women for comfort if she is hesitant."

Alex began to think how much his brother has changed for Anabelle, if she was his he wouldn't have shown any patience, Alex was known as the eagle in the business circle, he just swoops in and grabs what he wants no matter the consequences and Annabelle was one hell of a prey. Those eyes and that innocence she held when he first met her at Rome airport hooked him up, after a few months he found out his brother was fascinated by her too but Leo was quicker than him, he got engaged to her so Alex had to step back but still, he was a man and she was someone who unwillingly visited his dreams, he couldn't even discuss those dreams with his brother.

"What do you expect from a twenty-year-old girl, not all the girls are experienced in that department. Rosalina asked me if I can be of any help, do you want me to talk to Anabelle"?

" By all means, you can, if you can convince her how much I love her."Leo willingly said.

" You love her seriously, I never knew you were capable of loving other than yourself," Alex joked.

" I am the most romantic guy, you can ask from the women or even better you legal department secretary Maria."Leo winked at him.

" Stop fucking my workers, you dick, let's have lunch Jon will also be joining us, we have to finalize the deal about that Casino partnership in Vegas," Alex said while taking his coat from the back of the chair.

" Oh yes, I am hungry and I have a weird craving for fish", Leo got up from the chair too.

Both brothers went for Lunch with Jon Williamson, who was their friend and business partner in hotels and casinos in New York, Milan, Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam.

Anabelle was anxiously waiting for Rosaline's response, it has been three days that she told her Alex will have a talk with Leo and she will call her but still, Rosaline cannot tell whether the brothers had discussed Leo and her engagement or not,

" Rich kids, living in the same house and still don't interact with each other."She sighed currently she was reading replies from a few companies where she applied in. She was sitting in the backyard by the pool where Nicholas and Julia her eight-year-old stepbrother and sister were swimming. Their nanny was keeping a watch on them.

" Anabelle I want a strawberry shake", her little stepsister ordered."

"Julia you should ask in a humble way when demanding something", Anabelle said while getting up from her seat.

" Mommy says never to ask from you".Little Julia told her as she was sharing a secret. Anabelle become quiet for a few seconds and thought how evil her stepmom's mind works.

"I want one too", Nicholas jumped in excitement. She smiled there was no way she can be rude to these cute munchkins, they are too innocent for this evil world.

" Okay, two strawberry shakes coming right away, meanwhile dry yourselves up, or else you will catch a cold."

" Oh how I want to smash his head, he dared to punch me", Leonardo shouted while keeping a frozen ice pack to his cheek. " Calm down Leo you were the one who made a pass at his wife," Alex told him.

" How would I know that bitch was his wife, she was rubbing herself to me like a bitch in heat". They went to a posh casino which was exclusive for only rich woman and man alike, Leo, as usual, got quite handsy with a brunette, Alex wondered if they will start having sex in the corridor, but then her husband came and before things got out of hand Alex took Leo from there and reached home, he called and apologized to Marco Sanchez the woman's husband, that guy was involved in the shady business in Mexico.

" I am calling it a night because we have a flight to catch Italy, get some sleep and apply ointment on your face it has swelling, you don't want Annabelle to wonder whether you got hit by a woman."

" My sweet Anabelle I am going to see you soon", Leo instantly cheered up.

" Fucker", Alex shook his head.

Alex was raging in anger, the Armenians just took the deal off weapons which he was working so hard, he was sitting in his father's study room, both the brothers came to Italy yesterday but Leo went to meet some of his friends in Milan and Alex told him that he has invited Annabelle to meet up and have some talk, it will be the first time he will talk to Annabelle alone. But now as he was seething in a rage he didn't want anyone to interact with him, just then there was a knock on the door.

" Who is it"?He shouted.

" Mr. Alex, Ms. Anabelle Alfio is here to meet you."Rick their butler informed him.

" Fuck, he cursed as he ran his hand in his hair. Let her in."
