THE PLAAKKK!
Bella reflexively raises her hand to hold her cheek which hurts Dante's slap marks and she feels a salty taste of blood coming out from the corner of her lips which is torn due to the hardness of Dante's slap on her cheek. Both of his cheeks now looked swollen and bruised.
“Despite you insulting Tatiana like this, you will never be the mistress of this house! I will never replace her with any woman! You better be careful when you talk. Oh yes your gift is off!”
“I have no interest in being a mistress in your home! I have no interest in your gift!” bella's screams returned a reply to the man's words as she opted out of the room and closed the door in annoyance.
‘It seems too dangerous if I put it here. Do you think because you're close to my son that you can be part of my family? Hmh! That's never gonna happen. Today I want to be kind to you because you took care of Alex and you made me find an intruder in my house. But what are you doing?” Dante smiled cynically, still accusing Bella of wanting to vilify Tatiana in front of him.
“Dante, darling. Where the hell are you from?” tatiana's voice sounded. He was already able to control himself and act calm as if he had never seen and heard anything just now. Dante walked to the dining table and threw his body in the chair. Tatiana watched her husband's movements without batting an eye, although her heart still hurt a lot but she tried to hold on because she would not let Dante be taken by another woman.
“Take care of some work.” he replied expressionlessly. ‘I should be able to keep my emotions from looking Tatiana, lest Tatiana know what Bella told me. I was annoyed with her but I can't possibly let her go now from this house. It's not safe for him to be out there! I must be able to take care of Tatiana.’ whispered Dante's heart.
“You've been a long time, I've been waiting for you since.” Tatiana put her sweet smile on Dante while holding her hand.
“I'm sorry I made you wait so long! And I'm sorry I was tired so I didn't get to bathe Alex, did you do everything?” dante asked with a loving look at his wife.
“It's okay baby! I haven't done that in a long time.” Tatiana replied with a smile.
“I'm sorry yes because I always snatch those activities from you!”
“No problem, you always want to take care of Alex alone don't want to share with me! So while you were sleeping I used the opportunity.” Tatiana still smiled triumphantly because she could take care of Alex today.
Dante smiled at her with warmth and Dante's hand stroked Tatiana's cheek.
‘Cih! If it wasn't for you! If not for wanting you to stay by my side, I would never have taken care of that baby! I've been so tired during these four years of nurturing her, she still can't be independent. When do I want to be like this? I still have to bathe her, change her diaper. I can't use a nanny because I have to show Dante how much I love Alex in front of Dante! I'm so tired of that kid!’ tatiana's heart was hidden far behind the warm smile she always showed Dante.
“Ya already let's start eating it.”
Tatiana nodded, “Wait for Dante! Lorenzo's coming soon, I invited him. We better wait for him to eat together.”
“Oh I forgot we invited him to dinner and Alex would study with him.” Dante put back the cutlery he already held.
“There's one more thing I really want to tell you Tatiana!” dante said as he watched Tatiana glance at his watch, so the woman refocused on Dante.
“What is it? Just say.” says Tatiana trying to focus.
“Do you mind if I get Bella to study piano with Alex?” Dante expressed his desire that made Tatiana's heart again rustle hot.
“Of course I don't mind. But may I know your reason?” tanya Tatiana was still smiling.
‘Look now you even want a woman ****** that's on piano lessons! Tomorrow what else are you gonna do or give him? Huhhh! I can't accept this, I have to get rid of that woman immediately! I still need you, Dante, and I will keep you by my side without any other woman! I don't know how many times you've done it with that woman! I'm not gonna let her carry your child! Nah!
“I want Alex and Bella to play the piano together . Alex rarely trains because you're busy and I'm busy, can't keep him company unless there's Lorenzo! But an hour a day is not enough for Alex, he wants to do it more. So I thought maybe Bella could play the piano too, they could do together instead of just playing and spending some obscure time!” dante explained.
“Of course. Please do that if you think it's the best. You always know what's best, don't you? I also apologize Dante.” Tatiana said.
“You mean?” Dante scrunched his forehead.
“I agree Bella to join the piano practice but I apologize to you because I was too busy and could not accompany Alex to play.”
‘Okay, this problem! Did I have a wrong talk?’ dante whispered in his heart.
“Don't be too sensitive, I said it's not because I blame you but because we have time limitations, dear.” Dante smiled, “That's what a nanny is for, they can fill Alex's free time when we can't accompany our son, you know what I mean?” dante asked while twitching his forehead and holding Tatiana's hand.
‘Yes, fill your time too when I'm sleeping or when I'm caught off guard! You think I don't know what you're doing together? I love you Dante and this is what I'm afraid of. I'm an imperfect woman and you have everything to get whatever you want including women! From the beginning you brought the woman I was suspicious, where there's such a beautiful nanny! Tatiana is very jealous and angry with Bella but she always seems calm in front of Dante.
“I understand Dante! But I still feel disappointed in myself because I know Alex is talented to play the piano, but I can not accompany him.” replied Tatiana limp.
“Don't think about it, baby. Let Alex play the piano with Bella. Maybe we can do something to persuade Bella to agree, so Alex will have a friend play the piano. Let the two of them train together but not tonight, it might start tomorrow! How?” ask Dante again.
“Alright! I'll talk about this with him maybe he wants.”
Dante smiled and said nothing more after hearing Tatiana's words. Although in his heart he felt uneasy, ‘Actually this is a gift for him that I want to give tonight. I actually wanted to introduce him to his piano teacher and he could start playing the piano today as well. I also have one other gift for her, I want to put a piano in her room. It wasn't as big as a grand piano but it was enough for her to play the piano with Alex. That way he can forget his saturation in the room.’
