"who are you.?" Bella asked Damian who looked at her flat .

Damian was fixated on the question, but his expression remained calm .! now he understands why Clarisa killed herself and the nightmare is back on Bella .

smiling thinly and then tasting, the back of Bella Damian's hand said calmly "your husband sucks ."

Bella squeaks her eyes, she's tired, actually I don't know what it feels like every day she's getting tired no matter what the trigger, beautiful day she just to eat at the last restaurant , Damian was soft and sweet only up there, now Damian who was in front of him was annoying and cold Damian was also a little shameless .

grunting softly Bella closed her eyes then sighed and reopened her eyes .

"may I rest here, alone." she said calmly, Damian nodded and bowed and kissed Bella's forehead .

going out of that bed and out of his room, behind the door Damian sighed again, and went to the side towards his study .

inside Bella's room contemplating Clarisa's words, she must meet up with Clarisa again about it all, Bella doesn't yet know Clarisa's dead and her body is burned with the pavilion , when he was about to sit his head was back pulsating he went back to lying down and closed his eyes for a moment, his free hand held his temple then massaged it for a while .

1 day after returning from the restaurant .

Damian is busy in his study with Marco, the busyness continued until the night when Damian was finished he went out to his room but did not see Bella on the stairs with a brown envelope and black paper bag in his hand , Bella was like a confused person she was rolling back the envelope by sitting on the steps of the stairs, her gaze confused.

Damian intends to greet her but the tip of Damian's eye sees the contents inside of the paperbag his eyes are patterned, then quickly snatch the brown envelope in Bella's hand, and sees her eyes widen even more , his breathing hunts down, his eyes glare implied anger .

"Damian give it back, I haven't read it yet" said Bella calmly, Damian staring at Bella sharply .

"where did you find this .?" damian asked coldly, Bella flinched with Damian's cold aura but she tried to calm down .

"from the room .!" point it towards the corner Damian follows Bella's direction and gets more and more burned with rage .

pulling Bella's hand, Damian drags Bella into room & room, Bella walks down the steps of the stairs due to Damian's rough pull .

"Damian slowly, asssh sick." said Bella, Damian Abai still attract Bella .

brugh .

asssh,. !

Bella grimaces when Damian throws her into the big bed, Damian walks forward .

"who gave you access to it .?" damian asked full of anger in his tone .

Bella looked at Damian in confusion .

"why are you so angry .?" ask Bella

"i asked, replied Ara .?" press Damian with a snarl .

"yes, I asked you to answer .!" kekeh Bella no less snapping, ' 'bout ,

Damian was really angry he went forward to clutch Bella's jaw, until Bella grimaced when her jaw choked in pain .

stroking Bella's cheeks with Damian's cheeks, Damian's teeth churned back asking. "who's arabella from .?"

"lepa-sh." cried Bella in stammering .

"ANSWER ARABELLA." shouted Damian, Bella patterned it like Dejavu, she had this mangalami, before long her memory was pulled in a few years ago when she was kidnapped, her body began to tremble , her tears fell with the screams Damian kept on throwing at her, Bella's ears buzzing, no longer able to hear what Damian was saying , the shadow of a few years ago , kept spinning like a broken cassette .

her eyes were yellow, her hands were holding her ears in a replex, along with Damian's detached grip, bella inching backwards with a trembling body .

Damian was transfixed, he looked at bella who was now trembling with a face of fear as well as tears that did not stop flowing .

scooping her rough face Damian approached carrying Bella in his arms, Bella did not respond she remained trembling as she continued to mutter indistinctly, Damian's heart slammed hearing it , he apologized but dear Bella was really in bad shape .

his breath was cut off, his sight was empty.

"don't I-mo-hon." the noise kept on like that ', Damian tightened his arms. Before long bella drowned, fainted in Damian's close arms, sighed in Bella's head, ' he breathed in her , lay it down and cover it, wipe away the tear marks, kiss her two closed eyes .

arghb .

Damian regrets, Damian awakens Bella's trauma side, which Bella painstakingly heals .

picking up the envelope and paper bag Damian came out to greet Laura, Marco who had heard Bella screaming on the steps of the stairs .

with a flat look Damian passed through them, the sound before it was completely gone .

"call doctor Jack ." and then it's completely lost at the turn.

Laura and Marco look at each other and breath from both escapes .

"it's not good for the mistress and the master" said Laura softly and Marco heard and nodded

Bella thinks of Clarisa's words, then at midnight 'Bella sees Damian sleeping holding her ', with Bella's heart moving Damian's hand to her side and bringsut slowly away from bed , with her heart Bella walked in there and out of the room.

behind bella's door to beat her heart first, then go to the hallway that will take her to Clarisa's former room, Bella sees there is a brown door there, he's sure this is Clarisa's old room because Clarisa's always out of here.

Bella turns the doorknob but in key , Bella tries to find the key in the drawer that is in the nightstand next to that door, there is one key she tried it and succeeded , open the door and look inside .

freedom there awaits .?

but Clarisa's last words really bothered Bella's other side, if it's Damian mafia .? do both parents know .?

now a lot of questions in the mind of Bella , Bella thought until she was not aware she had entered the room and sat on the bed with Damian who looked at her intensely , Bella was not aware because she kept daydreaming until.

"from where .?"

damian's baritone voice surprised Bella, Bella glared when Damian was beside her looking at her intensely .

"you, since when was there. ?"

"from where .?" reiterate Damian ignoring Bella's previous remark .

with a stammer and a wave Bella answered "from, mm from , from the pantry yes from the pantry" he said .

damian approaches and Bella retreats and Damian's hands hold bella's slender waist, making Bella's heart beat .

"sleep again it's still night." whispered Damian carrying Bella lying down and hugging her tightly, drowning her face in Bella's neck .

Bella glances at 'clock, yes it's still night ', Bella then tries to go back to sleep .

when hearing bella's breathing has been regular Damian rose to glance at Bella who has been slumbering back.

looking at the fist on her hand opening her slowly, the key she carried the key then looked at, it was the key to Clarisa's room .

take her and save her, because Damian doesn't know why Bella brought Clarisa's room key.

walking towards the balcony door opened it and turned on the cigar, then took a sip . by bare-chested Damian enjoyed the blowing night breeze .
