Chapter Caught
Ditto glanced at Belinda for the umpteenth time since the drive to her home had started. He did not know why he just could not resist the urge to look at her every now and then.
“Why do you keep staring at me?” Belinda questioned with a small frown on her face.
“I am not staring. Was only glancing.” Ditto replied and returned his attention to driving.
“Like there’s a huge difference.” Belinda rolled her eyes.
“Just asking though. What did you decide upon?” Ditto asked.
“About what?”
“About your love life. Are you going to get back with Jonas?” He asked and Belinda lowered her gaze.
“I really don’t know.” her voice softened.
“I thought about it all night though and I know Jonas loves me. I guess I still love him too.”
Ditto’s grip on the wheels turned tighter and he clenched his jaws. He did not like what he had just heard but he also knew very well that he was in no position in Belinda’s life to make decisions for her.
“Alright.”
“You sound…..” Belinda returned her gaze to him.
“A bit pained.” She completed.
“Are you pained that I am going to be with Jonas? Would you have wanted me to be with you instead?” She asked and Ditto let out a low huff.
“You are not…”
“Your type.” Belinda cut him off and looked away.
“I know that perfectly. I was just joking.” she shrugged her shoulders and Ditto glanced at her again.
‘Get a grip of yourself, Ditto.’ he scolded himself mentally.
The drive eventually came to an end outside of Belinda’s home and as Belinda fumbled with the seatbelt, Ditto felt the strong urge to hold her back and tell her to go back with him.
‘What the fuck are you thinking about, Ditto?’ he scolded himself again.
“Geez. Jonas’s taste in women sure sucks. You can’t even undo a seat belt.” he shook his head and leaned in just right at the moment when Belinda undid the belt.
“I don’t need your help, Mr. Ditto or whatever.” she snorted and was about to pull the car door open herself when Ditto grabbed her arm.
“What?”
“You don’t want me to leave?” Belinda asked.
“No, that’s not it. I’ll help you with the door.” Ditto pushed the door open on his own side.
“You don’t have to do that. I’ll just get down myself.” Belinda replied and pushed open the door on her side to get down but Ditto grabbed her hand quickly, stopping her again.
Ditto knew he wasn’t stopping her just because he wanted to open the door for her. He was stopping her cause he didn’t want her to leave.
That was crazy. Initially, Belinda was just that one woman he had wanted to kill for being Jonas’s woman but she had quickly grown on him, becoming a woman he didn’t want to leave.
“What’s up with you, Ditto?” Belinda leaned in.
“You didn’t give me a response last night. Are you scared of me now? After seeing me all bloody last night, are you scared of me now?” Ditto asked and Belinda gulped down hard.
She had been scared when she saw him yesterday and for the next few hours, that fear had remained with her but when she woke up this morning, everything had seemed pretty fine.
“I am not scared of you, Ditto. I know you won’t kill me.” she replied.
“Oh god.” Ditto groaned and lowered his head a bit, his hand still holding onto hers, his thumb rolled over her hand gently and Belinda felt her heart thump.
“Push me off right now, Linda.” he raised his head and their eyes met.
“Do it now when you still have the chance to do so. Push me off, run into your home and lock the doors.” his voice deepened but Belinda did nothing other than sitting right there and staring back into his eyes.
“You aren’t leaving, Linda.” he called her Linda yet again and Belinda blinked repeatedly but still made no attempts to get out of the car.
“You caused this.” Ditto groaned and pulled her close to him, fusing their lips together in a hot and passionate kiss that Belinda immediately reciprocated, kissing him back fiercely.
It was her turn to think about how wrong this was. Ditto was Jonas’s enemy and she was kissing him without being under the influence of anything.

Jonas groaned as he received the bouquet of flowers from the flower shop owner, mumbling a thanks. He had been set free only about two hours ago and in those two hours, all he had done was take a good bath, dress up properly and eat to his fill to regain his lost strength.
His bones ached badly and he knew he would have to visit a hospital soon but he wanted to see Belinda first. He wanted to apologize to her for having dragged her into such a deep mess.
Jonas was still very much surprised that Dante had let him go. He had been pretty sure Dante was going to kill him immediately he got what he wanted but he got released instead.
Jonas got into his car, dropping the bouquet of flower on the other seat of the car.
“I really hope she forgives me soon.” he mumbled, setting the car into motion.
Different thoughts flooded Jonas’s head as he drove. What was her reaction going to be to his apology? Would she ever forgive him? Or would she just chase him out of her life forever?
He wouldn’t be able to stand that. He loved Belinda so much already and he did not care how much he would have to grovel before she accepted him back into her life. He would do anything.
Jonas’s brows arched as he parked his car beside another car which he knew very well did not belong to Belinda. He shrugged it off, guessing that Belinda just had a friend over.
Grabbing the bouquet of flower, he got out of the car with quite an effort since his body was still very much weak. Jonas took another look at the car before heading into Belinda’s home.
The door that led into the living room was wide open, making Jonas wonder why the door would have been left unlocked and open. It was dangerous to leave the door open but he ignored it and walked further into the house.
“Belinda” he called softly, walking into the living room.
What he saw made him freeze on sight, the bouquet of flowers in his hands dropping to the floor.
A man was kissing Belinda’s neck, his face buried in her neck completely while Belinda’s eyes were closed, her lips parted with pleasure.
“Bel!!” Jonas yelled and without caring about his weak body, he rushed over and pulled the man off Belinda.
He was even more than shocked to find out who the man was.
“Di… Ditto??”
