Bellissima

Author’s POV

Bella woke up with heavy head and Groaned in pain. Her neck was hurting.

She looked around with lazy eyes and saw dimly lit room, she could smell rusty walls and rotten corners. She scrunched her nose in disgust.

Last night’s memories washed over her and she panicked. She tried to move but then she realised that she is tied down to the metal chair. Her hair was messy and she was sweating. It didn’t feel like an American climate.

“Help!”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

She screamed on top of her lungs and started struggling.

After few minutes door of the room got opened and she looked at the man who entered inside.

He was old man with blonde hair and blue eyes. But he was wearing expensive clothes and was looking powerful.

Bella quickly closed her eyes when he turned on the lights. She blinked her eyes to handle the intensity of lights.

The man looked at her and smiled, his eyes wondered on her face in admiration.

“Bellissima” (beautiful)

Bella didn’t understand what he said but he has strong foreign accent.

“Who are you? Let me go… Now!”

She demanded in brave voice.

“scorre nel sangue, vedo” (It runs in a blood, I see)

He chuckled.

“Sono felice che tu non sia diventata come quella vita bassa” (I am glad you didn’t become like that low life)

“Who are you?”

She yelled.

“Voice down little girl, don’t make me disciple you”

He warned and she looked at him angrily.

“I am the mafia boss, i don’t know how to be gentle.”

She gulped when he said that he is a mafia boss.

She couldn’t understand why would they kidnap her like this and why mafia boss himself is talking to her.

Bella is smart enough not to anger him, she doesn’t want to die so soon.

“What do you want from me?”

She asked.

He smiled.

“Smart… Straight to the point, yeah!”

He chuckled and she scowled.

“Well… Bella I want you to do something for me…”

He demanded and sat in front of her on the chair.

“And why would I do anything for you?”

She asked.

He Smirked making wrinkles around his lips prominent.

“I have taken care of that too…”

“Listen mister… I am not going to do any dirty work for you so let me go…”

She demanded.

“Okay, so i think you don’t love your sister…”

He sighed dramatically and her eyes widened.

“Jasmine!”

She panicked.

“Yes Jasmine… Such a sweet girl. But don’t worry she is safe at her home. I haven’t touched her yet but as I said I won’t be gentle…”

He said.

“No, don’t hurt her.”

Her eyes watered. Jasmine is the only one who is dear to Bella and he has hit the weak nerve.

“Then be a good girl and listen to me… It’s not something dirty, i know you are thinking like that but that’s not the case here. I have other girls for that.”

He said.

“Then what is it?”

She frowned.

“You have to take my daughter’s place…”

He declared and she frowned.

“What? Your daughter’s place?”

She asked confused.

He switched on the button and big picture of a girl appeared on the wall in front of Bella. She looked at the picture in utter shock. That girl was looking exactly like Bella, only difference was she has ginger straight hair and green eyes while Bella has blonde curly hair and blue eyes.

“What the fuck!”

She mumbled looking at her doppelganger.

“She is my daughter Amanda Valentino… She is married to Alexander Marino… You have to take her place until I find her and bring her back…”

He informed.

“Why we are alike?”

Bella asked confused and He looked away.

“Destiny may be”

He sighed.

“I don’t know her, I don’t know how she behave, her nature… I don’t know anything… And her husband will catch me in few minutes… You said it’s not a dirty work, what if her husband tried to make love to his wife…”

She asked.

“You don’t have to worry about it. My team will train you for that and you don’t need to worry about Alexander, they don’t have that normal husband and wife relationship so you are safe… He won’t touch you… It’s a matter of few days, as soon as I get Amanda, you will come back…”

He replied.

“Who is Alexander?”

She asked.

“Mafia prince”

He declared.

“Ohh, hell no!”

Bella shook her head furiously.

“Bella, you will do it if you want to see your sister alive”

He threatened.

Bella closed her eyes frustratingly.

“What if he kills me… Why don’t you call your daughter Mr. Valentino.”

She asked.

“He won’t… Marino’s don’t hurt family… You will be safe… You just have to act.”

He sighed.

“Fine, I’ll give you 50, 000 dollars for this work…”

Bella looked at him shocked. She always wanted to earn enough money so She can leave that house with Jasmine. She wanted to live a free life. It will be great chance for her but work is risky.

“1 million!”

She demanded and now he looked at her shocked.

“I shouldn’t be surprised.”

He shook his head.

“I’ll give you two million… But you won’t fuck up anything.”

He demanded.

Bella gasped when he said that. It will change her whole life. She can make their lives better. She can leave her toxic family.

“Fine… I’ll do it. But you have to promise my safety. You won’t hurt Jasmine and you will find your daughter as soon as possible.”

She said. She has no idea why is he offering her so much money.

“Good”

He sighed in relief.

“I am going to free you, don’t act smart”

He warned and she nodded.

He released her hands and winced when she moved her sore muscles.

“Why only Jasmine, Bella?”

He asked looking at her.

“She is my only family”

Bella answered rubbing her hands.

“They don’t treat you good?”

He looked at her with weird face and she frowned.

“Why do you care, not like you are treating me like princess.”

Bella said and stood up.

He sighed and stood up. He led her outside and gave her to his team.

They did complete makeover of her. Bella cried when they changed her hair colour and straighten it. She loves her curly hair. They gave her lenses and trained her to act like Amanda.

“Why wear this… I should go nacked”

Bella mocked when she saw revealing dress which was only hiding her private parts.

“Ma’am please, it’s her style.”

Designer Said.

“No one gives a fuck, man… Give me something else to wear not this shredded piece of cloth.”

She threw that dress away.

They gave her another gown to wear which was less revealing and she wore that.

Bella looked at the mirror and didn’t like her look at all, she was looking like Amanda. It was still hard for her to believe that two complete strangers can look alike.

She was very nervous, they were making her ready for the party. She have to go there and live like Amanda which is very difficult because after training she realised that Amanda is a evil bitch. She can’t be like that. And not to mention that her mafia prince will be another threat.

“Do you guys know anything about Alexander Marino?”

She asked them.

“Whole Italy knows about him”

One girl replied.

“I am in Italy!”

She yelled in disbelief.

“When you guys were going to tell me this… You bring me to another country…”

“Calm down, this should be the last thing you should worry about. Be careful of Alexander, he doesn’t have good reputation in public… Amanda usually stay away from him and you are going to do the same.”

She said and Bella nodded.

“Come on it’s time.”

One of them said and her heart started beating rapidly.
