LOST ROSE

9

-Bella's POV-

Waking up next to him...that's what I missed so much. He was sleeping with his eyebrows furrowed, his lips were cutely parted.

His snores were like music to my ears. My favorite music. He choked out a snore and I smiled at it, then started caressing his cheek. I was looking at his features and was amazed.

How can someone like him exist? Like literally. In this world. How?

The sun was shining too brightly and was disturbing him, he pouted and closed his eyes tightly. And so, I raised my hand and covered the sun, creating a shadow.

"Good morning~," He said childishly, letting out a soft giggle and moved closer to me, hugging me tightly. Too tightly. Not wanting to let me go.

"Good morning." I chuckled and he slowly opened his eyes, meeting mine.

We stayed still. Just looking into each other's eyes. We tried to find more about each other that way. Without needing words or actions. Our eyes were enough.

"Bella..." He looked at my lips and then at my eyes again. His gaze softened and his lips turned into a shy smile.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked. And I died. I was not alright. At all. He was asking me if he could kiss me?

But why was I feeling sad? I felt like crying and crying. And so, I bursted into tears. I felt pain. I felt so much pain at that moment.

And I couldn't trust him. I couldn't fall for him. Although I'm already so in love with him. I felt like he didn't mean it. Didn't mean it all. I felt like he was acting. I felt unsafe.

And gosh was I stupid to not believe it. To not believe that it was just a god damn act of his. To make me fall for him deeper.

No...his heart didn't allow him to hurt me.

"Why are you crying, Bella?" Antonio asked me, wiping my tears away.

"Antonio, I feel sad. I feel like you're lying. Once again, I feel scared." I sobbed. He was confused. And that a lot. He didn't understand me. He couldn't.

"What are you so scared of?" He asked softly and I looked into his eyes.

"Starting from Kaylee. You both are dating you said. You forgot about me-"

"Wait, what? Don't tell me you're actually jealous?"

"Yes! I am jealous, Antonio. And I have a good reason to be jealous of her."

"Then what about you, Bella? You got engaged. You did worse than me. You're the one, who forgot about us. Part of me ached at seeing you so close yet so untouchable at that party yesterday." He sighed.

"I was trying to forget you. But the truth is that I cried every day, that I missed you every day, every God damn second Antonio."

He raised his brows at that.

"And I was trying to hate you, Bella." He smiled with teary eyes.

When will I be able to confess my feelings to you, Antonio?

-Jay's POV-

"You came, Andrew. "

"What's the plan, boss?" He asked me.

The scene of her nodding and choosing him was playing in front of my eyes. Again. Why did she? How could she?

I'll make sure of her regretting it. Regretting her choice. Was she that stupid? Or that much she loved him?

I tilted my head to the side, looking at Andrew.

"You sold her?" I asked him, sounding quite scary and his eyes widen, lowering his head.

"I-I...it...it was Antonio, who-"

"Do you have a death wish?" I cut him off, sounding calm. But that made him fear me more. The way I sounded and how calm I looked with this situation.

It wasn't the plan. That wasn't what we planned.

"I never thought that you, boss planned to get engaged to her." He said weakly, and I scoffed at that.

"Who wouldn't? She's the daughter of the Smith's. In fact, I won a lot after I got engaged to her. Imagine what I'll win after marrying her. Her parents and brother burned in that house. Who wouldn't marry her, knowing who the Smith's were?" I asked him and he didn't dare to look into my eyes.

"Also, I didn't give you any instructions on sleeping with her or use her for your own benefits." I glared at him and he gulped, looking at me with widened eyes.

"H-How-"

"How I knew about your dirty doings? You stupid Andrew. The restaurant is mine after all. There are cameras. I honestly had fun watching them." I took another sip of my wine and he lowered his head again.

"She's irresistible, isn't she?" I laughed, taking a sip of my wine and sitting on my chair, placing my glass on the desk and leaning back.

"Beat Antonio up. Kidnap Bella. That's the plan for now." I said, yawning.

"Y-yes, boss. I'll tell the others." And with that, he left. I smirked to myself.

"Ah, Bella. Ahh." I chuckled and sat properly on my chair, looking at my desktop and typing some things.

"You both had fun, huh?" I grinned and stood up, wearing my coat and heading to a close friend of mine.

Tivis.

-David's POV-

My heart ached once again. The last time it acted like that was years ago. Did something happen to her once again?

"He's so stupid! After he saw her, he, of course, had to take her!" Gabriel yelled after entering inside the palace.

"Gabriel, he'll kill her. Sooner or later." Ronaldo smirked.

"Let's be honest, she looked hot. No joke. She was like...more than hot. Right, my love Jack?" Tedi asked Noah and Noah looked with disgust at him.

"You! You're so weird." Noah covered his chest and Tedi ran to him, jumping on him.

"Am I?"

Tedi sure was acting weird.

"Stop it with the gay s**t!" Gabriel, George, and Ronaldo yelled at them in unison and Noah quickly pushed Tedi away.

I really had no clue what happened at that party, but I clearly missed a lot out. How badly I wanted to be there. Only if they invited me with them.

They all ended up laughing. But they froze after seeing me there, with a very small smile.

"David?" They had a serious face on.

"It's been a while?" I giggled.

Yeah, it really was. Every time they tried to talk to me, my door was locked. I didn't want them to see me. I was in my world. All alone.

Noah always brought food for me and placed it on the floor, in front of my door. After I finished all the food, I put the plate in front of my door for Noah to take it back.

They all were worried. Especially Gabriel and Ronaldo. And Antonio was there in front of my door every night, apologizing and leaving.

Now that I think about it, where was he? He wasn't with them.

"Where's Antonio?" I asked and I don't know why they had tears in their eyes.

"Aiden!" Gabriel sniffed. In a blink, they ran to me and hugged me. And I started giggling loudly when I heard them crying, sounding like babies.

"I missed you too." I laughed.

How I missed our group hugs. But now, no more hiding. My family needed me. My only...family.

"We-"

"Where's Antonio?" I asked again and George gulped after I looked at him.

"He's with Bella," Gabriel said coldly and we sat on the couch, I was damn confused and frustrated. Why with that...girl again?

"Don't worry, David He doesn't love her. He wants to hurt her. He wants to kill her. He hates her." Ronaldo tried to explain to me and I grinned, knowing perfectly that it wasn't it.

Because he couldn't kill her back then. So, what changed now? It'll be the same. He won't be able to kill her.

I should...I should be the one. I should kill her. I hate that girl so much. Because of her, the roses fade. Because of her, Antonio changed. She lived long enough.

Just wait, Bella. The moment I see you, I'll kill you.

-Eva's POV, 2 days later-

It was 8 pm and so dark outside. We'll be staying in an apartment. Antonio bought clothes for me and for himself.

We didn't f**k in those 2 days if that's what you're curious about. Antonio was warm and gentle. He was just soft. Another side of him. Another completely different side of him.

I was reading a book innocently when a half-naked James walked in. A towel around his waist. He took a shower and now dried his hair with a towel.

I was checking his body out. And my imaginations right now only proofed how not so innocent I am.

He was drying his body, the towel around his waist was nowhere to seen. I mean, where was the use of being ashamed when I saw his ...thing more than once, right?

"You're so shameless, Antonio Vera." I moaned.

He stopped just when he was about to wear his shorts.

I smirked.

He glanced over his shoulder and licked his lip when he saw me pleasuring myself. I moaned, looking at him, imagining him doing this to me.

I bit my lower lip and threw my head back when I entered 2 fingers inside me and heard James gasping.

"You crazy girl..." He hissed. His hand slowly making its way to his member and stroking it.

"Antonio..." My eyes locked with his as I entered 3 fingers inside me, feeling my climax approaching.

"You dirty girl..." He started to jack his member and turned around, walking to me and crawling on top of me.

"Let me...let me pleasure you." He pulled my fingers out and pinned my both hands above me with his one hand.

"I wanted to be nice to you. But just look at you being a slut again." He kissed me roughly and desperately.

I felt his free hand gripping my breast harshly, biting my lip. His free hand slowly making its way to my entrance and thrusting 2 fingers in, making me whimper.

He pulled from the kiss, letting go off my hands and I wrapped my right one around his neck. My left hand squeezing, then stroking his member.

"F-f**k. I-I missed f*****g you." He groaned and pulled his fingers, earning a whine from me. I kissed the corner of his mouth.

He raised his eyebrow in surprise and when I slid his member inside me. I gasped for air and closed my eyes, a tear rolling down my cheek when he was fully inside me.

"Damn.." He bit my ear and moved down to my neck, leaving painful hickeys behind and thrusting inside me as his life depended on it. He undressed me completely and slammed inside me, making me moan loudly. f**k, it felt so good.

This could continue. But Antonio's phone started ringing. He groaned and took his phone from the edge of the bedside table.

Antonio picked up without looking at the caller ID. And his d**k was still inside me.

"Hello?"

I got surprised when Antonio started moving inside me. My eyes widen. I saw him smirking down to me, winking and biting his lip dangerously.

"Who are you?"

"Ohh-f**k!" I moaned at the sudden deep thrust, Antonio quickly covered my mouth, warning me with his eyes.

How could he sound so stable? How could he freaking manage to talk without his voice breaking from thrusting without slowing his damn space, hitting my sweet spot again and again? He was a professional.

"What? Where are you? I swear, I'll kill you!" Antonio stopped and pulled out, after a while, he hung up and stood up.

"What is?" I asked when I saw him opening the closet and putting on a shirt, shorts, jeans and his leather jacket.

"You! Stay here and don't open the door! I have the key, so don't you dare to open the damn door!" He pointed at me and ran outside, locking the door after him.

I furrowed my eyebrows and stood up, heading to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and wrapped a towel around my body.

1 hour passed.

2 hours passed.

Just where was he?

Then...I heard the doorbell ringing. Seconds later, the door opened.
