Somewhere in Indonesia

[Clara Bell POV]

"You?" my eyes bulges wider in surprised. I can't believe he was our abductor.

"ANGELO?" Enna's surprised voice erupted in the confined room making Angelo's eyes whipped to her direction.

"WHY IS SHE HERE?" Angelo's furious voice boomed as he turned around to face the guy who introduced himself as Don. I can see red in Angelo's eyes making me fear for my life. I have never seen him this angry and now I can see why Rafael doesn't like him. Why I didn't see this before.

"I'm sorry boss but my men wasn't thinking sometimes. Bear with their vacuous act." he apologized and scowled at the guys behind him. They all looked down not meeting their big boss' threatening eyes.

"Why are you doing this brother?" Enna asked unbelievably. Pain and surprised is obvious in her tone.

"You don't understand Enna!" he snapped making Enna flinched inwardly. She never knew this side of Angelo. She thought she knew him. He told him that he will make Bell fall for him but she never know this is what he meant. Kidnapping her and force her to like him.

"Mom and Dad won't be pleased when they found out what you just did Angelo. You just violated a law!" Enna grumbled to his brother.

"Yeah. I just did. I'm very much aware of that Enna. I've broken laws many times. I'm not new to it!" he replied casually and now he turned his eyes to me.

"Take my little sister out of this room and bring her to another room. Send someone to watch her." He ordered darkly to the guys behind him who followed his strict orders quietly like a puppet.

When they untied her and drag her out she fought and squirmed.

"You are not my brother Angelo. You will pay for this!!" she shouted grudgingly as she tries to get away from the goon's hands.

"We were not real brothers and sisters Enna!" he admitted as he smirked evilly. Enna stop squirming and face him with her eyes turning into slits.

"What do you mean?" she uttered in disbelief.

"I am an adopted. Your parents never told you because they are the reason why my parents are separated and my Mom died in delivering me." he sputtered venomously. Hatred laced in his voice.

"Why would Dad and Mom do that?" Enna inquired disbelieving his words.

"My mother was your Dad's sister. Mom fall in love with their gardener who happened to be my father and your Dad and Mom took Mom away from my real Dad. Mom didn't know she was pregnant at that time. They fired my Dad and he swear to come back and ruin them. Dad work in a casino, with the money he earned from tips he used it one night to play poker and he was lucky to win just for that night a million where he started himself into a business. He became known in the gambling business. But Mom died when she delivered me and of depression. Your parents decided to adopt me. They told me who was my parents but never told me about their story. Until, I met my real father a year before he died. Juan Flavier Bermudez." he explained bitterly.

"The owner of the chains of casino around the world?" Enna was surprised. She didn't expect that his older brother was an adopted. He does have similarities to them and it never dawned to her that he was an adopted.

Don was surprised to know that their big boss was the son of their previous big Boss who took them into his house when they were 13 and treated them as his own child. He used to mention that he has a child but he died with his mother before even born.

Bell was gawking at them still surprised with the big revelations that Angelo just spilled. I couldn't believe he was an adopted.

"Take her to the other room!" Angelo ordered to his man and turned his attention to me.

The bulky guys drag the surprised Enna out of the room. She was quiet after Angelo revealed his identity. She was still shocked that she stop fighting those guys.

I was looking at him still trying to grasp every information I just gathered. For almost 7 years, he was always the gentle and caring Angelo. But today, he doesn't look a bit of it. I mentally shuddered with the thought of him killing me.

"Why did you choose him Bell? Why not me? What does he have that I don't have?" he uttered bitterly as he shoved his hands in his pockets staring at me intently.

"I'm sorry Angelo. I like you but as a brother. I hope you do understand." I replied trying to convince him to see sense.

His facial expression changes darkly, making him look dangerous and ugly. I was so afraid, but I tried not to show him.

"Why Rafael?" he asked clenching his jaw.

"I can't control my heart, Angelo. I just felt it's him that my heart wants." I replied warily. I saw hatred in his eyes as he glared at me.

"I warned you about him. He is the most ruthless and black-hearted in the society and worst you're marrying him!!" he grumbled sternly, making me flinched. His aura turned darkly and evil. I was really scared. I felt the tears starting to well up under my eyelids.

"Just let us go, Angelo. He will come after you and he won't think twice to take your life." I uttered trying to convince him to let us go.

"If he knew where I took you. Before then you will be married to me, in your will or not!!" he smirked like a sick bastard. My anger flared up and forget everything about the Angelo I knew.

"You are sick and I'm not going to marry you even if you dragged me out or kill me!!" I sputtered angrily shooting him a deathly glare.

"Yes, you will, Bell!!! You will or your precious friend will be dead!!" he warned menacingly making me shudder with the thought of him killing Enna. He walked to the door and whispered something to his man and left the door. The guys soon followed, walking out the door and closed it behind then.

Then I let the tears fall freely.

I'm going to die without letting Rafael know how much I love him..

*****

[Rafael POV]

It seems like forever. We are already in my private plane airborne, since Giovanni's man just gave the exact location. The place was somewhat barren and it's like a dot in the map. The place was in an island located somewhere in the part of Indonesia. Tristan was on their way with his troop.

It took us a while to escape from the cop and was relieved when we get to the tarmac without trouble.

I'm getting anxious. It's been 15 hours since we found out she was kidnap. I felt so terrified. I'm not a religious person or a prayer person but at this moment, I don't remember how much I prayed mentally for her safety.

"Hold on Mio Amore, I'm coming for you!!" I mumbled audibly as I closed my eyes. I could feel the tears pricking under my eyelids. I held it back and tried to calm myself.

"How long before we get there?" I asked Giovanni whose sitting across me looking anxious as well while staring at me.

"In less than two hours, depends on the weather." he replied briefly with his sympathetic look. We will get her alive, I promised you that!" Giovanni promised coldly, with threatening voice.

"They will be landing in a neighboring island so not to alarmed them and they can sneak into the house without them knowing. The place was really hidden." Giovanni added. I just nod.

After like a decade my captain finally announced that we reach the neighboring island and is about to land. My heart races in anticipation to see her. I'm going to slowly kill whoever did this to her. My heart was burning with fury.

After awhile, finally the plane landed smoothly and without a second wasted, me, Giovanni and my two securities followed and we all headed to a dock.

A small motor boat was already waiting for us and will take us to the island in matter of 20 minutes. I groaned with so much frustrations for being so slow. Maybe by the time we get there, it's all been done.

The motorboat and 4 other motorboats was spotted in a farther site covered with tall weeds barely seen the house since a bit far distance.

"We need to walk all the way since we can't dock closer or they will spot us." Giovanni stressed out and jump out of the boat as soon as it touch the shore. I followed and so Kurt and Clayton.

"Give me my gun." I asked Clayton and he handed it to me. I slid it on my back under my waistband and we all walked crouching to hide with the bushes. I could see my men from the top of the roof and some around the house. I saw one of Tristan man dragging 3 unconscious fellows.

Once we get closer, we scattered and I got to approached one of Tristan's man whose wearing security uniform.

"What's going on inside?" I whispered softly to the guy.

"Still not clear Sir. There's 15 of the guys here according to our ground penetrating laser device. We got them track down what area each one were and we spotted two girls in the same room." He explained briefly.

"We just have to be cautious because they could just call a back up." he added.

I was about to say something when I heard a gunshot. I crouch down and walked fast aiming for the entrance door. I could hear chaos inside the house. Once I got to the door, I motioned the guy who was about to enter to cover me up. We were walking slowly on the hallway and checking each corner for possible threat. Then all of a sudden he was shot and fell right in front of me. Before the guy could shoot me, I aimed my gun on him and into his heart. He fell instantly. I walked down the hallway not caring with all the commotions and gunshots banging each door while pointing my gun. I was so eager to find her.

Then Tristan came out from the 2 rooms from where I am, and was dragging 2 guys with his man. I was gritting my teeth.

"Where is Bella?" In a second I was close to Tristan and his man who was still restraining the 2 tall guys who seemed to be the boss. I can't see their faces because they are unconscious with their heads falling downward.

"She's with Mason." One of Giovanni's man.

Bring them to one of the rooms. I said and cocked my head to Giovanni who already got it. I ran to the end room. The house looks smaller but longer with endless hallways and bunches of rooms.

It really looks suspicious, probably where they do their illegal transactions. I heard crying sounds as I approached the very last room. I barge into the door and there's Bella and Enna hugging and crying. Looking terrified.

"Bella?" I said softly, feeling relieved and she turned her head to me.

"Rafael!!" she launched herself into me and I wrapped my hands around her holding her tight like she's going to disappear. She was shaking and crying.

"Shhhh..... It's alright. You're safe!" I comforted kissing her temple as I pulled her closer to me, gap non-existent. Relief filled me. Enna was still teary eyed and watching us.

"Zander was left at the mansion. You are safe. We will flight back to the Palace after I deal with these Bastards!!!" I explained clenching my jaw with the last words and my aura turned dark.

I saw Enna's reaction. She looks scared and look at Bell's eyes, like they are talking through their eyes.

Bell pulled herself out of my hold meeting my eyes.

"Let the cops deal with them Rafael." she stated softly. I can't read her eyes.

"Yes, after I'm done with them." I replied menacingly.

"NO!" she replied immediately shaking her head furiously.

"They kidnap you both and put all of us in danger. What do you think I am going to feel? I will teach them a lesson!!" I blatantly snarled with my eyes fuming indicating red.

"It's Angelo!" she proclaimed. As soon as the name reach my ears, I turned on my heel and stormed out of the room not bothering to look back where Bell was screaming for me to stop and get back. I motioned Kurt and Clayton to watch them and I strode and prowled in every room.

When I got to the room, I saw Angelo and Don, the guy who almost beat me to death. I smirked watching the two looking defeated.

I gave my gun to Giovanni who patted me in the shoulder meaning to have fun beating the assholes.

I folded my sleeves up to my elbow not wanting it to get smeared with blood. It's been 2 years since my last practice of boxing. I was gritting my teeth in rage. Don was watching me looking terrified. I smirked inwardly.

[Clara Bell POV]

"Let me go Kurt!!!" I said authoritatively trying to intimidate his security but to my dismay he didn't budge. Clayton and Kurt was standing in front of the door looking like a statue, with their hands in their back standing stiffly and determined.

"I'm sorry Duchess, but it's our boss order. We can't defy him!" Kurt responded in a determined voice.

"We have to get there before he'll kill him, Bell!" Enna's pleading voice was faltering. I know she's so scared with Angelo's life and so am I. He may have kidnap up but still he was Enna's brother and I still do care for him, although I'm angry with his hasty move but the thought of him being nice to me for all those years made me want to protect him from Rafael's wrath. I know he won't think twice to kill him, judging by his aura a while ago.

"Kurt please!!!! Let us go!!" I beg, with my tears streaming down. He look at me and looking hesitant. Clayton look at him disapprovingly.

"I don't want Rafael to kill anyone!!!" I snapped to both of them as I clenched my hands in balls. The idea of him taking one's life makes me feel sick.

"Move!!!!" I growled. I'm beginning to get really mad at them. "If you don't let me out of this goddamn room, you two will going to be fired!!!" I said in a low threatening voice trying to intimidate them. Clayton and Kurt look at each other and Kurt nod at Clayton who seemed still reluctant of the idea.

Kurt move to the side defeatedly. I ran on the hallway opening each door.

After like a decade I heard a growling sound and groaning. I ran to the door and opened it but it was locked. I banged the door. I'm so mad and terrified at the same time.

"OPEN THE DOOR NOW, RAFAEL!!!!" I yelled loudly, still banging the door. Then, the sound inside came into silence.

"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR RAFAEL VALIENTE OR YOU HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER BRIDE!!!!!!" I called out angrily still banging the door like a maniac.

I hear him grunting and said "fuck" and then a footstep approaching the door. Then, the door opened just a little. Rafael came out with blood in his knuckles and smeared in his shirt.

"Did you kill him?" I asked in disbelief!

"I wish!!!" he replied menacingly. He cocked his head to one of the guys inside and led us outside. I tried to look inside but he holds my waist leading us outside the house. Enna was following looking agitated.

"Tell your man to leave them to the cop!" I cried out as I stop walking and face him angrily.

"They will.!" he replied nonchalantly still looking dangerous. I looked at Enna who was escorted with Kurt and Clayton was behind and I saw armed guys walking closer. I don't how many of them. Wearing security uniforms and nodding at Rafael.

"Let's go!" Rafael nod his head to them and they all walked in the same direction. A lot of other man was following. I saw Giovanni behind us with his phone growling.

"Why Giovanni is here?" I asked. I knew nothing about him but I sense danger in him. I know he's Rafael best friend and that's just it.

"He came to help!" He replied briefly. I knew he won't stressed his explanation so I just shut my mouth.

*****

[Rafael POV]

The two girls fell asleep on their seat just as the plane was now airborne. I was seating beside Bella while her head was resting on my shoulder. Enna was seated across her with Giovanni beside her.

"Did you call the police?" I asked softly when I was sure the girls are sounding asleep.

"Yes. Morgan and the rest made sure they are all unconscious and they found a hidden room where illegal guns was well kept and some cocaine. The police should be there by now. They shouldn't get away this time!!" He stated calmly as he smirked triumphantly.

"Good! Thanks Amigo!" I said earnestly and gave him a brief smile.

"My pleasure Amigo. You once save our life! Anytime Amigo. We are just here, your brothers!!" He smiled back emphasizing the last word.

I just nod my head and looked at Bella. I kissed her forehead gently trying not to wake her up. She looks peacefully sleeping and I felt relieved. I can't help but smile.

"I feared you're slowly changing, Amigo!" Giovanni teased as he watch me and smirked. I just smirked back.

"Tell me that when you find yours, Giovanni!" I shot back as I sneered.

"Not a fat chance, Amigo!" He laughed heartily, his shoulder was shaking.

"Is she taken?" He asked momentarily as he cocked his head on Enna's direction.

"She is brother! Look somewhere else. She's Zander's girl!" I replied curtly. I knew he is a womanizer as well, worst than me. Anyone who is wearing a skirt he won't spare. Giovanni is a good looking guy and he's wealthy, enough for every girl to crawl at his feet.

"Well, they aren't engaged yet, does she?" He replied smiling mischievously as he gingerly inspect her fingers. "As I thought." He remarked as he shot me challengingly.

"Don't fucking try Giovanni! She's Bella's best friend. You can toy around except her!!" I threatened glaring at him.

"Who said I'm toying her?" He chuckled mischievously.

"Shut up! I knew you well Giovanni Santorini!" I spat exasperatedly. He looks determined.

He just smirked and shot her another glance before looking back at me smiling deviously.
