Bella's POV.
"I love you and that's all that should matter to you. I'll never make the mistake of bringing up your past or humiliating you on the basis of that. I give you my word," he confessed.
My tears turned into happiness, that moment I felt like the luckiest woman. The man feared by everyone in the underworld was being gentle and soft to me. It somehow gives me butterflies. His gentleness and the way he explains everything to me in his stuttering voice so that I do not misunderstand his intention. All of this wants me to tease him.
I joined my hands with his, curling my fingers into his fingers and leaning my face on his shoulder. I whispered,"I get it. Don't get flustered. However, today I want to tell you about everything I have been hiding from you."
"I, too, have many secrets which I wish to share with you before our official marriage."
I lifted my face up from his shoulder and brought my lips close to his, I was about to kiss him when suddenly someone crashed inside. I kicked Caspar away from me and got off the table. Hiding my face with my hand, I awkwardly asked, "Erick, what are you doing here?"
"Are you asking me?" Erick repeated in a very surprised tone.
Caspar, who was irritated by his brother's interruption, walked swiftly towards Erick. Grabbing him by his arm, he pulled him to the other side and cursed, "Why are you fucking here? Go and have a nice time with Luna!"
"Excuse me, brother! Stop assuming that there's something going on between Luna and me. She's just my friend. You understand?"
"Hah! And you think I'll fucking believe your words?" Caspar chuckled, teasing Erick further.
I couldn't help but giggle to myself. Those two were so cute. Both stubborn as hell. I never thought Caspar would ever confess his love for me. Now it was Erick's turn to realize his love for Luna. However it was understandable why they were not dating. Luna was a rising star while Erick was a superstar in the entertainment world. Maybe he didn't want to block Luna's career by dating scandals.
'Stop it, Bella! Since when did I start caring for other's businesses? Dating or not, it's their decision to make!' I scolded myself and leaned against the wall, watching Caspar busy talking with his brother.
It was like he forgot I was standing behind them. Soon other stage performers walked inside the waiting room to get changed. I covered my face with the mask and secretly walked out of there before anyone noticed me and Caspar together.
"Wait up. Why am I running away? I'm his wife and I should be with him. It's common understanding," I mumbled and turned back only to see the nervewracking sight.
The actresses who were invited to perform at the award function were all in the waiting room now, hovering around my husband and Erick. Fortunately Caspar was wary of others touching him so he was not happy. His serious eyes and his cold expressions were enough to scare those women away.
However some of them were fearless and still tried to get close to Caspar and they initiated a conversation.
"Look at them. They're definitely enjoying themselves by getting surrounded by all those beautiful actresses," a sour female voice complained near me.
I looked and saw Luna standing beside me. Her eyes were fixated on Erick while her arms were crossed across her chest. Stomping her heels she smirked in jealousy. Seeing her pissed off made me angry too.
"Should we claim our men? I can't take it anymore seriously," Luna asked.
"Sure, thing. My blood is running wild. I might murder some of them."
I called Alex and asked him to send some bodyguards into the waiting room. A few seconds later, a group of five tall and muscular men sprinted inside and bowed in front of me.
"Madam, what's your order?"
"Nothing. Just follow us," I said and, holding Luna's hand, I walked slowly at the crowd of actresses.
"Make a way for us," I ordered and the bodyguards quickly started moving the women aside.
"Hey, how dare you touch me?" one of the actresses shouted at my bodyguard and was about to slap him when Luna stepped in.
OMG! Luna received the slap of the actress across her face. The sound of slap was audible enough to reach Erick's ears. He pushed aside the circling actresses and hurried to Luna. Holding her face in his hand, he clenched his jaw and glanced at the actress who slapped Luna. Taking her hand in his, he dragged her near the table and placed her hand on it. He took out his knife from his suit and was about to chop off her fingers off her hand but bodyguards stopped him.
"Let go of me. How could she slap her?" Erick growled; his voice was loud enough to gather the attention of reporters.
The bodyguards immediately rushed and locked the door of the waiting room from inside. The actresses who were in the room shuddered in fear, cowering in one corner they secretly started recording all of this.
"Delete all the videos you have recorded in this room," Caspar sighed as he walked towards Erick.
Touching his face he asked, "What the fuck were you trying to accomplish, huh?"
Erick remained quiet, glaring at the actress who slapped his Luna. Caspar glanced at Luna who was smiling. He shakes his head in frustration and warns Erick to not try anything funny in public.
Luna stepped close to me and whispered, "President Bella, you know something scary about Erick?"
"No. What's that?"
"He's the Frank Hill of underworld Mafia group DarZ. He told me once that he uses the code name Frank Hill to rule over his men as underboss," Luna murmured, shocking me.
I thought only I knew about Caspar and Erick's secret codenames. How come Luna knew it? Don't tell me she was part of a Mafia group too. I looked at her and my suspicions turned real. Luna was smiling when she should be worrying about the scandal.
'Hah, so that's why Erick got mad because he's dating Luna secretly,' I laughed.
Seeing me laughing suddenly all of them turned their faces at me. Their eyes were confused, awaiting some kind of reason from me for laughing out of the blue.
Ignoring them I asked Caspar, "How long are you going to take? The reporters are banging on the door. They might break in any second."
"So what?"
Yes, that was a very unreasonable and nonchalant reply from him. Did he want the reporters to write everything that happened here? Was he willing to let the world know about him and his brother's murderous personalities?
'Ugh! So many questions. I should calm down and leave before I turn mad like them,' I sighed.
"Alright, I'll make it quick," Caspar replied and looked at the actresses.
"Did you guys not hear me? I said stop filming and delete the videos," Caspar thundered, enough to make them shiver.
The actresses shared stares with each other before all of them shouted at Caspar, "Why? How could we keep quiet when Mr Erick tried to cut off Ballerina's fingers? We have to get him arrested for violence!"
"Arrested?" Caspar clicked his tongue and softly smiled. "I think you all are mistaken about something. I'm not asking for your opinions. I'm ordering you all to delete the videos."
"H-How could you give us orders? Are you some kind of Mafia Lord that we should follow whatever you say?"
'It's interesting. I wish I could get some popcorn,' I focused on the heated conversation.
"Very well," Caspar sighed as he got seated on the chair. Placing the cigarette between his lips, he lit it and started puffing on it.
He then took off his coat and folded his sleeves up to his elbows. The vicious tattoos on his hand were visible to those actresses. They couldn't contain themselves after seeing the tattoos of crawling snakes on Caspar's hand. The belts across his shoulders carried two guns in a holster.
"W-What are you trying to do? We will tell everything to the media," they stuttered which only made Caspar chuckle in amusement.
He called Alex and ordered him to send all the reporters out of the premises. He then took out his gun from his shoulder holster and aimed at them. He again repeated his words, "Wanna delete or should I delete you all from this world?"
They all fell on their knees. Quickly deleting everything from their phones, they begged for mercy. The bodyguards checked all of their phones and reported back.
"Boss, all deleted."
"Good, now hear me out, Ballerina and others. Forget about everything that happened in this room. I don't want any articles on today's incident. Am I being clear enough?" Caspar said.
"Yes," they all answered and Caspar winked at me.
"Brother, now that you have solved everything. Would you be kind-hearted enough to let me go?'' Erick interrupted because he was held up by two bodyguards.
"That's up to Luna. I'm leaving here with my wife." Saying that, Caspar pulled me up by grabbing my waist.
