"You look stressed son..."
Alexander said to damian puffing his cigarette.
"Yes father... All these things which are going on they are so confusing. Isabella and Arabella, I don't understand what to do..."
Damian sighed.
Alexander chuckled and crushed his cigarette in the ash tray.
"There is nothing to be confused about, Everything is in front of you son. You just need to open your eyes and see it..."
"What do you mean?... Dad this is not the time to solve riddles and mysteries, do you know something about it?..."
Damian asked.
"If I would have given you everything so easily then you wouldn't have been the boss by now damian. You have to look for it yourself, I know you can..."
Alexander explained.
"You remember what I always used to tell you..."
"Keep your friends close but enemies closer..."
Damian recalled it and Alexander nodded in agreement.
"You need to attend a meeting tonight, I have some other work to do..."
He said.
"We are opening new clubs in the city, it's about that..."
Damian nodded at him.
****
Damian was getting ready for the meeting, he wore his suit and came out of the closet.
"Where are you going dami?..."
Isabella asked.
"Meeting..."
He answered fixing his hair.
"Can I come with you, I am bored I want to go out..."
She asked hoping he will say yes.
"No... You can't..."
He straightforwardly denied making her face fall.
"Why?."
"Because I don't want you to get in any trouble, there will be other Mafias and I don't have time to babysit you bella..."
He said.
"Babysit?... You think I can't protect myself, you never said something like this to Arie. You took her everywhere with you then why not me..."
She complained.
"Because rose can protect herself bella..."
"So can I..."
She argued.
"Fine get ready then... we are leaving in an hour..."
He sighed and left the room.
Isabella smiled happily and started to get ready.
Isabella walked downstairs where Damian was standing talking on the phone. She got near him and held his hand making him look at her.
"I am ready..."
She said smiling.
Damian looked at her and nodded while at the same time rose walked in the living room and saw them, they were holding hands like couple. Rose looked away, closing her eyes she tried to push away the uneasy feeling she got by looking at them.
"The car is ready, boss..."
Rose told damian emphasizing more on the word boss.
All three of them walked outside, instead of getting in the car rose sat on her bike making damian look at her confused.
"I don't have a place there..."
She said looking at damian's confused face and he understood the double meaning behind her words.
Ashton started the car and drove towards the club.
"Listen to me very carefully bella, do not roam around the club without protection. Don't talk to anyone and stay by my side or by Rose's side as much you can. Do you understand..."
Damian ordered her and she looked at him confused.
"Why?..."
"Because I have many enemies bella, they won't think before hurting you..."
Damian explained and she gulped nervously.
He walked inside towards the vip area with Isabella and others following him behind.
Damian was busy in the meeting and isabella was sitting on his lap just like other girls were sitting on their respective owners
artners lap.
Isabella excused herself from him and walked towards the washroom. She did her business and was standing in front of the mirror when she heard someone's voice and turned around. "Look what we have here now, I mean seriously..."
Isabella frowned at the bitchy voice.
"Who are you?..."
She asked frowning.
"Well I am natasha... You know the man you were clinging to was supposed to be mine..."
Natasha spat angrily.
"I was just thinking how to deal with your fucking sister and now you have to come in the story too, you fucking bitch..."
She banged her fist on the wall making isabella flinch.
"I don't k... know what you are talking about..."
Isabella stuttered.
"Look at you acting all innocent and all that shit, atleast your sister shows everyone that she is a bitch unlike you. Honey don't you know that your damian don't like weaklings like you anymore, he hates the crybabies..."
Natasha laughed Maniacally and isabella looked at her in fear.
"I don't know what you are saying, let me go..."
She said and tried to walk pass by her but natasha grabbed her arm and was about to slam her to the wall but suddenly she was pulled away harshly from isabella and landed on the wall. Natasha looked up and came face to face with a furious rose.
"Arie..."
Isabella whispered and hid behind rose.
Natasha stood up but before she opened her bitchy mouth rose grabbed her throat and slammed her against the wall almost choking her to death.
"Don't you dare touch my sister..."
Rose growled at her and threw her on the floor making her hiss in pain.
Isabella was shocked looking at rose, the way she threatened natasha and protected her no one has ever did this for her, not even her own father. She never thought rose will do something like this for her.
"If I saw you near her again, I swear this time I will break your neck instead of your nose... Do you understand, now get out..."
Natasha looked at her angry face and nodded furiously, she stood up and ran out of the washroom.
Rose turned towards isabella...
"Are you ok bella?..."
Isabella nodded and hugged her tightly, rose wrapped her hands around her and rubbed her back.
"You saved me?..."
She sobbed.
"Yes, you are my sister and I will always protect you..."
She replied and Isabella's grip on her tightened.
Rose send her back to damian. Isabella sat back to her place and damian looked at her distressed form and asked.
"What happened?..."
"Nothing just realised something new today..."
She mumbled.
Rose was walking back in the meeting room and stumbled with the waiter who was running.
He was about to fell on the floor but she caught him.
He looked at her and his eyes widened in shock.
"Rose?..."
Rose looked at him confused...
"Tylor?... What happened? Why you are running like this..."
"Listen rose we need to get out of here right now... Like right now, just get out of here..."
He panicked.
"Hey... Calm down... Will you tell me what happened?..."
She tried to calm him down.
"I heard few men over there, they were talking about timebomb. They have planted a bomb here to kill everyone. I tried to talk with the manager about this but he kicked me out... I am not lying rose trust me..."
He said shaking, his whole body was sweating and Shivering in fear.
"Ok, run as fast as you can..."
She said and he ran outside.
Rose turned on the fire alarm to make everyone alert, as soon as people heard the alarm they started running.
Damian came out of the meeting room along with everyone.
"What's going on?..."
He yelled.
"We need to get out of here, right now... There is a bomb..."
She yelled as it was hard to listen anything with all the people screaming and alarms going on.
Everyone was almost out of the club, and they started running outside too.
Isabella tripped due to her heels and fell down on the floor and screamed.
Damian looked back when he heard her and ran towards her.
"Fuck, not now isabella..."
He helped her to stand but she got a sprain in her ankle.
He cursed and lifted her up, he turned around and walked outside hurriedly.
Rose was behind him but when damian got out with isabella, two men came in front of her and blocked her way. She turned around and saw she was surrounded by a group of men.
They attacked her and she quickly pulled out her gun and started fighting with them. She had no idea who these men were and why they were stopping her, she only knew one thing that she is running out of time and the club will blast anytime soon.
Damian placed isabella down near the car, Ashton was about to start the car but damian stopped him.
"Where is rose?..."
He asked and Everyone looked at each other.
"I thought she was following us behind..."
Ashton said and damian panicked.
"She is inside..."
Damian said in panic and turned around to run inside but Ashton and jack held him back.
"No you can't go inside Damian, she will come out... You know she can..."
Jack shouted at him but damian didn't stopped struggling. It was getting hard for them to hold him back.
Everyone stopped dead in their places and Isabella screamed on top of her lungs when the club blasted. Damian saw the whole club engulfing into flames and everything crashed down into pieces. Damian's heart almost stopped beating and he screamed.
"Rose..."
He got out of their hold and started running towards the fire but Ashton and jack held him back once again.
"Damian stop... You can't go inside, it's gone..."
Jack yelled at him.
"She is gone, damian..."
Damian looked at him and cried out loudly.
"No...."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
