Chapter 15

Bella picked up her phone and turned it on, and then came piles of messages, calls and voice note. "Madam, you have an hour to prepare for your court visit!" Edmund said, and she nodded at his words.

She walked back into her room to make some important calls. She was so sure Lily and Tina would be really worried about her disappearance, since she never told them where she was going to. She tried calling but there was no service around, Bella let out a frustrated sigh, she sat on the bed frustratedly thinking of a way out of this.

She went through her phones and saw more than a thousand messages from Lilo and Matthew, they were all filled with threats. She just didn't know what to do, this man has caged her here. Even if she eventually escapes from Edmund, how was she supposed to pass through those guards at the gate.

Bella tried walking around the room hoping there would be service soon, but there was nothing. She went through the voice notes sent, "Bella where are you? I promise you if I loose my job, you would pay dearly. Pick up your call you trench!" It was Mathew and he sounded really upset.

She listened to another note but the voice this time sounded like a disturbed person. "Bel where are you, we got back and couldn't find you. If you don't reply by morning, we'd have to involve the police. Please call me immediately you get this!"

She laid on the bed letting out a deep sigh, she can't stay here anymore, she needed to leave, and right then she came up with an idea. She rushed into her room to get dressed, so she can go to the court with Antonio, that's the only way she could live this house.

"Mrs Lilo, you're not giving the right pose are you alright? This is the 20th time we're taking the wrong pictures!" The director said. "I'm fine!" Was Lilo short reply, even if she hard sharp tongue, she knew when not to use it.

"You need to take a rest today. Go out and clear your head but make sure you don't make mistakes tomorrow. I wouldn't mind sending you back to your city and using a local model!" He said sardonically as he left.  

She clenched her fist at this, this was all Bella's fault. How was she supposed to concentrate when a woman is with her man. She knew how sexually active Antonio could be. She wished she could go back now, but she can't cause of the deal she had with this organization.

Bella and Antonio walked out of the mansion gracefully into a white 'Bugatti Centodieci'. Antonio was driving this car himself and trails of convoys followed behind them. "What would you like to eat? I know you didn't have enough breakfast this morning!" Antonio initiated.

"Nothing, I'm full!" Bella said briefly with a smile. Her mind was occupied with different thoughts. She was still trying to figure out how to escape from this man and this mess. She finally decided that once we was out of here, she would quit this job cause she just could not trust herself around him.
