Chapter 60

  Bella got into he car with Antonio and the chauffeur started the car at medium speed. They were both exhausted from the party and the only thing they needed right then was a nice warm relaxing bath and a long sleep. But then again, Antonio could not keep his hands to himself as he wanted to be close to his beautiful wife.

"Did you have fun?" He started as he pull little strand's of hair from her face, earning a nod from Bella, she just never knew she'd be this tired after the party. "Antonio, I'm so tired!" Bella yawned. "Come here!" He placed her head on his chest and she hugged him, slowly she fell asleep. The only time she woke up was when her butt kissed the warm water in the bathtub.

Bella's eyes slid open only to see the maids helping her with her bath, "what are you doing?" She asked a little startled by their actions. "Master Antonio said you needed a long relaxing bath and that we should be of assistance!" One of the maid with a blonde hair spoke.

"It's alright I'll take it from here!" She sent them out. No woman would want another touching those sensitive and hidden part of her body. She watched them leave before she continued bathing, herself. She had slept off earlier and had no idea when they arrived back at the mansion and Antonio as the most caring and loving husband that he is, had to carried her back to the room. She smiled at the thought of it.

With each ceremony they've performed, she just found herself bonding really well with Antonio. But she wondered why she was becoming overly protective around him. Bella rinsed her body when the water turned a little cold. She got into the closet and wore her nighty.

She dried her hair as she studied her face before the mirror. She applied her night face cream and stroded to the bedroom slogishly. She met Antonio who was already on the bed working with his laptop, with little glasses on his face. "You're not sleeping?" "I've been waiting for you!" Antonio quickly turned off his laptop and placed it on the beside table. He wanted to sleep close to her now she's offered.

Special days like this were rare when it came to Bella, they cuddled in each other's warmth and slept off. Antonio was more than happy she was coming around just as he planned, he knew forcing her into anything was the wrong move when it came to her.

Lilo was pissed or maybe furious at the picture and news headlines she just saw. Somehow Ruth's words sank deep into her, not only Ruth, other people she's spoken to. The closeness between Antonio and Bella was getting extraordinary, and if it gets worst than it already is then she might not be able to separate them ever again. That was her greatest fear.

Even if they looked alike Lilo knew Bella's attitude was totally different from hers. Bella was more approachable than she is. Bella warned her before, but she was too engrossed in working. She would have talked to Antonio, he didn't set that rule but his parents did.

Lilo just finally realized she brought the wrong guest into her life.
