Marco..

A few days had passed since Kelly had been at my place away from the city because I didn't want her to go back to her apartment as yet. I hadn't been back to my apartment in town because I didn't want to leave her alone for too long. I had given her one of my black cards and told her to purchase whatever she wanted online. I also had to send two of the housekeepers out to purchase clothing for her. I ordered Lorenzo and Ricardo to watch her and ensured that she was safe at all times. That woman had used her beauty and bewitched me. I couldn't get her out of my head. Every time that I closed my eyes, all I saw before me, was that beautiful face and alluring petite body.

I was beyond pissed and furious at my men who I had ordered to watch her before she was attacked. Luca found out that fucker who tried to hurt her was working for that bastard, Matteo. We also found out where he was hiding and we were tracking his every move. When I got my hands on him, he was going to die a slow and painful death.

I lit a cigarette and drew my gun as I stared at the two men who were supposed to be watching Kelly. They stood in my office with their heads hanging down while Luca stared at them. I had called them into my office earlier.

"You fuckers were supposed to be watching and protecting Kelly. Instead, you both were busy fucking bitches." I stated in an angry tone as I aimed my gun and shot them both through their skulls.

I blew the smoke into the air as I watched their lifeless bodies hit the floor with a terrific thud. The silencer was on my gun so no one could hear the shots that were being fired.

"Get the men to clean this shit up," I told Luca. "I'm stepping out."

He simply nodded and I exited the office.

I stood in the doorway watching Kelly as she dived into the swimming pool at the back of the house. I didn't know that my Bella was such a magnificent swimmer. She got out and dried her hair and body with the towel that one of the housekeepers, Elizabeth, had given to her. I took a sip from the glass of bourbon in my hand as I watched her sexy petite body in the two-piece white bikini that she was wearing. Her skin looked so flawless and smooth.

"Hi, Marco. I was looking for you." Her voice was a bit raspy as she smiled at me.

This woman was driving me nuts.

"I was taking care of business at the office," I stepped closer to her. "I missed you," I whispered to her.

She blushed as she took the glass of bourbon from my hand and took a sip of it.

"I missed you too." She said as I removed the towel from her shoulder and used it to cover her wet body.

"Thanks." She looked up and gave the drink back to me.

"You're welcome, Bella. How was class today?" I asked.

"It was okay." She replied as we went upstairs.

"Good," I said.

I opened the door to the guest bedroom that she was staying in and her eyes lit up as she stepped in and saw the small box on the bed which contained the iPhone 13 that I had ordered for her. I wanted to replace the phone that she had lost the other night.

"Oh, Marco. You didn't have to." She opened the box and took out the phone.

"I wanted to, Bella. I know how you feel about losing your phone and not being able to contact your friends and family." I said to her.

"Thank you so much, Marco." She uttered, wrapping her small arms around my waist and putting her head against my chest.

"Bella, I can give you so much more than that, If you only give me the chance to do so," I whispered to her as she held her head up and I stared into her breathtaking brown eyes.

I touched her thick black hair as we held eye contact before she turned her face away.

"Your place is beautiful." She said nervously, getting out of my embrace.

I knew that she was going to change the subject.

"Thanks, do you like it here?" I asked.

"Yes, I do." She responded as she put the phone down on the nightstand. "Is that your mom and dad on the portraits hanging in the living room downstairs?"

"It's my mother and my grandfather. They're both deceased." I replied as I watched the sadness in her eyes.

"Oh, my. I'm sorry to hear that, Marco."

"It's okay, Bella. They're in a better place."

She nodded.

"Bella, go and change, and then we'll go downstairs for dinner."

"Okay," She said, letting her hair down.

"I'll see you at the dining table," I told her, and then I walked towards the door.

"Marco," She called and I stopped in my tracks.

I turned around and looked at her. "Yes, Bella."

"Can you please take me over to my apartment after dinner? I need to get my other laptop and my photo album."

"Sure," I said. I wasn't going to let her go back to that apartment to live.

She smiled at me and I walked out of the bedroom.

I went and took a long shower and made a few phone calls afterward.

Three hours later, Kelly and I stepped inside her small apartment. Three of my men stood outside watching. The front door was wide open and the place was trashed. Some fucker had broken in and trashed the place. I knew exactly who had done it. There were broken glasses shattered everywhere on the floor. I drew my gun and whispered to Kelly, telling her to stay back. Just in case someone was still in there, I didn't want her to get hurt. I checked the tiny bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom but no one was there.

"Oh, my God!" Kelly yelled as she ran her hands through her hair. "Who the hell could've done this?" She wailed.

"Bella, let's get those stuff and get out of here," I suggested to her.

She was shaking. "I'm calling the cops." She said while opening her cell phone.

"No, Bella," I said, taking the cell phone from her hand.

She looked at me puzzled. "Why the hell not, Marco?"

"I'll take care of it, Bella. Just get the stuff so that we can leave." I muttered.

She silently nodded and went into one of the bedrooms.

"Marco!" I heard Kelly scream my name. I rushed toward the bedroom while cocking my gun.

"They stole them, Marco!" She cried. "Whoever broke into my apartment stole the photo album and stole my laptop!"

I was furious now more than ever. I wrapped my arms around her and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Bella, I'm going to get them back," I promised her.

She gave me a tearful nod as I used my thumb to wipe the tears from her eyes. That fucker, Matteo, was a dead man.

That's Marco's house in the m\m
