My Mafia Husband

Bella's POV : Trip to America

I woke up hearing the announcement that we are landing in America. I am pretty excited about this trip. I never went out in Europe because my dad is afraid that something will happen to me. So, I was pretty much home-schooled, no friends, no trips nothing. I do have girls of my own age at my home in Europe, who are the maids daughters. But they never talk to me in a friendly manner because of my father. He will kill anyone who hurts me knowingly or unknowingly. So Everyone is afraid even talking with me. 

I thought about making a friend in this trip. My parents said we need to stay here for at least a month. I sighed thinking about how my security will not leave me even a second. I looked at my parents who are very much in love with each other. The love each other so much. My mom is the only one who can control my dad. He looks like a lost puppy when he is with her. I love my dad very much. He always cares for me. That's why I don't rebel about my freedom. I know my dad's line of work. It scares me to the core. But my dad always keeps me and my mom away from his work. My mom is my best friend. If we go side by side, people would even tell us we are sisters. She is very beautiful. She always tells me to do what my heart desires. She is so supporting and caring. I love them so much and would even die for them.

After getting down from the plane, we started moving to our hotel. I was enjoying the trip so far. I can see people on the street walking and doing things as they wish. I secretly wished I can escape the hotel and roam around here. 

We finally reached our hotel after 2 hours of journey and I am really tired. Dad directly went to the private elevator and pressed the button P. We reached our floor and got to our room. To say I was shocked was an understatement. We actually are not in a room, we are in a pent house, that is what they say. Its over-looking the entire city and It is really looking beautiful.

"We have a big day tomorrow. You have to sleep now." My mom said. I looked her confusingly. She just smiled, patted my cheek and said "We will talk tomorrow. Let's sleep. Come I will show you you room." She took me to a room in the first floor. I looked at it and smiled. My dad arranged everything for me. My new teddy is here. My mom said good night and left. I took a quick shower changed into my night wear and slept seeing the city with lights. I woke up with the sunrays falling on my face. I groaned and got up saw the time was almost 7:30. So I got up and did my daily routine, had my shower and went downstairs. My mom was cooking food while my dad was sipping his coffee sitting on the kitchen tool watching my mom. I rolled my eyes and said "Good Morning". My parents smiled and mumbled a quick Good Morning. "What can I help with?" I asked mom. She just said that everything is done and we just need to eat. 

I love cooking, dancing, gardening, painting, drawing all the indoor activities. I too earn a little money with my painting and drawings. I don't want to use my dad's money as you know his line of work. I never say no to him buying because he loves me but I feel guilty to use his money. So with mom's help without my dad's knowledge, I sell a few of my paintings and drawings. Its entirely my imagination of the outside world. I am also interested in interior designing and fashion designing. Currently I am doing a course online without my dad's knowledge of course. Well its extremely hard to study but hey I got nothing else to do my entire day. 

After breakfast, dad asked me. "Bell, darling do you trust me?" I looked at him in confusion. He looked very serious so I said "Yes dad, I trust you with my life." "Bell, I am planning to retire from my work and spend the rest of my life with your mom. So I am asking again if you want to take up my place." Dad said. "Dad you know I can't even bear to even think about harming anyone. I cant take your position. I thought we already discussed it." I said not wanting to take his position. He sighed heavily and said "I know Bell, But I need to assign my position to someone who can take care of my people. I just wanted to ask you one last time before meeting with the person."

Dad you already know my answer but just to let you know again, I don't want to take your place.

"Okay, I am going to schedule a meeting with Mr. Knight to settle this" Dad said to mom. She nodded and smiled at me. I smiled back reassuring her.

My dad came after an hour and said that the Knight's agreed to meet and they are coming over for lunch. My mom is very happy about it. It seems that she likes Mrs. Knight so much and they became friends in one night when they met . She quickly went and started cooking. I too helped her. After cooking everything mom asked me to get ready. 

I went to my room and got ready wearing a summer gown and tied my hair to a messy bun. I wore my sandals and went to the living area as I heard the door bell. As I walked to the living area, I saw a man who is talking to dad. He is looking muscular just like dad. I think he is Mr. Knight. I cleared my throat to get their attention. 

"Oh... Bell, this is Mr. Dominic Knight. And Dom, this is my daughter Isabella" My dad introduced. "Hello Mr. Knight". I replied smiling sweetly. He looked surprised but recovered and said "Hello Bella. Please call me Dominic. You father is my close friend. Yet I did not know about his daughter." He said glaring at my dad. My dad shook his said and poured some drinks exhaling trying to tell about me. "Bella your mom is in the kitchen, Please help her while I talk with Dom." He said. I chuckled and said yes dad. 

I went to kitchen to see my mom and who I think is Mrs. Knight eating ice-cream. "Seriously, Mom" I said as I entered. My mom looked at me like a deer with headlights and said "Bella, I did not want to eat at all. But Grace forced me to eat one scoop with her. It is just one scoop. Please don't tell your dad." She said with puppy eyes. Some times I wonder who the child is here. I looked at Mrs. Knight and said "Mrs. Knight I am Isabella, It is very nice to meet you." She immediately hugged me and said I am very glad I came to meet you Bella. Your mom just told me about you. And just call me Grace. She said smiling ear to ear. I nodded turned to mom and said there is no desert for her today or I will tell dad about her activities. She pouted. I sighed and said "Mom, please its for your health, please don't be upset." She then nodded sadly. "My mom has a allergy when she eats cold things out of permissible quantity" I said to Grace. She nodded and scolded mom for eating. Mom just pouted. 

We all sat for lunch and Grace commented its so good. Dad and Dominic has work to do. So they are in my dad's study. Mom and Grace are catching up. So since I had nothing to do, I decided to bake cookies for mom and Grace. After cookies are done, I gave them to Grace and mom and also took some to my dad's study. I gave them some coffee and smiled and came back. After coming back I quickly cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and sat with mom and Grace. I was pulled in their conversation and Grace was very interested in me. She also invited us for lunch and shopping. My mom nodded and I too agreed as I need a few canvas and painting stuff since I am going to live here for a month.

The day went pretty smoothly. Next day after breakfast, we got dressed and went shopping with Grace. Grace bought so many outfits. She even made me try some. I don't know anything about shopping. I never went to one. Dad always lets some people bring designs and we can select any design we like. But now Grace told me many shopping tricks. After that we stopped in some restaurant for lunch. While eating, mom asked me if I need anything, I said I need some art supplies. Grace looked at me shocking as if I was a little kid. After lunch, we quickly went to the art store and I got what I wanted. Then I payed using my own money for the very first time. I smiled wide looking at mom. It gives a sense of accomplishment to say that it is MY MONEY. Grace got confused at our gesture. My mom explained her that I do paintings and earn money on my own. Grace smiled and said she is proud of me.

After going home evening after some more shopping and dinner, I went straight to my room to get a shower and sleep.
