"According to the tests we did two days ago, your mother is physically, emotionally and mentally stable to be able to be back home in two weeks. We have reduced her dosage to a minimal so we will have to observe how she reacts to them for a couple of weeks and if it's a positive change, she'll be going with you." Doctor Maxwell Norman has been on my mother's case and has updated me since I learnt about her.
My uncle, Jason, let out a shaky breath. I glance at him and see he has a large smile on his face. It's been long since I last saw him and to say I missed my uncle JJ is an understatement.
"I've waited for this talk for years. My sister is getting better. Thanks to you Bella." I smile at him and take his hands into mine.
"She was never meant to be here." I say in a small voice as I tear up. Pregnancy hormones! Or maybe it's because I just realized I'm going to have my mom next to me with no limitations. She'll be there when my son will be born.
I visit my mother together with JJ for about three hours and head home. Being six months pregnant is using up my energy at a fast rate. I get into my car and head to Harry's.
I find no one home and I head straight to the kitchen and look for something to eat. I feel fat but I don't care. At least not now. I have no one to impress so I can eat as much as I want. I mean it's normal to add some weight when pregnant but I can always hit the gym after birth. Sometimes I wish Sydney was here and pretend I'm mad at him for calling fat. I really need to stop reading this novels.
A knock on the door brings me back to reality. I place the yogurt that I have just found on the counter and head to the door. Without thinking, I open the door and come face to face with Bianca. What now?
"Bianca?" She looks as perfect as she always is. Her dark hair looks like it just came from the salon. Its so shinny and soft. She's dressed in a white blouse, a black pencil skirt and a black and white blazer. I don't look at her feet since she'll notice I'm assessing her outfit and I don't want any comment from her. I bet she's in white heels.
"I'm going to ask this once and don't even think of lying to me." She holds a dangerous glare meant to scare anyone but I don't cower away from her. Is it about the baby? I hope not. If it is then that means the Italian Mafia is involved in this since the princess is engaged to Sydney. "HEY!" I hear Bianca. Why am I zoning out a lot?
"Ask away." I tell her sarcastically with a fake innocent smile and she rolls her eyes.
"Where is he?" WHO? Oh. And I start laughing.
"And who is 'he'?" I decide to mess with her.
"My fiance. Sydney." Bianca grits her teeth with frustration.
"You're looking at the wrong place." I say in a clipped tone. His name infuriated me. His kiss a month ago before I signed my life over to the mafia is still on my mind. I am happy he kissed me. Even though he's engaged, I never regretted it. It was so short but the sweetest kiss I ever had and I wouldn't mind having a repeat of it. The forbidden fruits taste the sweetest. I sigh. He just had to go back to Bianca.
I try shutting the door but Bianca puts a foot to prevent that. Look at that, white stilettos. "Tell me where he is." She says in a threatening voice.
"You're fiance isn't here Bianca. Go look for him somewhere else or I'm calling the cops." I start feeling frustrated and I want to pee. She only narrows her eyes and before she turns she looks at my belly making my hand move to it. She smirks. A lot of scenarios cross my mind and I immediately shut the door. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I lean on the door. I open my eyes two seconds later and that is when I notice what Bianca has been insinuating. Sydney has disappeared!
Should I look for him? I ask myself as I head back to my yogurt. Could he be hurt? No, it's not my problem. But what if he's kidnapped? Or worse, murdered? No, no, no. Don't think that way Isabella. Maybe he only left for some hours and Bianca is only exaggerating. His a big man, a mafia lord. He can take care of himself. Why do I even care?
I finish my yogurt and continue reading my novel.
I hear another knock an hour later. Nope. I'm not getting that. I check the time. Three o'clock. Where did Harry and Amelia go to? I ignore it but the knock is heard again. I decide to peek but my phone beats me to it with a text message from... Sydney?
Sydney
