“Eughhh....be careful with that! If you slash it then I won't be able to have any more offspring later.” Anthony protested.
“Cih! Is that what's important to you?” dante asked Anthony with a nod of his head but there was a smile on his face.
“Yes, that's what's important to me. But let's go back to our discussion. How do you convince me that Bella will be safe with you?”
Dante took a few steps back and kept his little dagger in place. “Can't you think for yourself what would make Bella safe by my side?” ask Dante.
“Hmmm... I can't think about that because you've already tortured Bella!” Anthony now walks up to Dante and starts talking. “but if I never see him again and you know one day that he's dead because of you don't ever expect me to forgive you Dante.”
“I'll make sure it's the hardest days for you! You'll never be able to run away from me!”
“Pretty good is your threat too. You got the guts to do that to me too?”
“Indeed! You think I'm afraid of you Dante?” Anthony was undaunted but he had already put his weapon back in.
“Hahahaha I don't see fear in your face Anthony.” Dante spoke honestly without commenting on what Anthony was doing.
“Indeed! Because I've never been afraid of you and I don't like you. You're so bad, Dante! But honestly I believe in your promise that if you promise, you will keep it. That is your advantage Dante.” said Anthony expressed his admiration for Dante.
“Then get out of the way! I want to take Bella.” said Dante impatiently.
“Give me the reason Dante!”
“Cih! Is my son in his womb not enough to convince you that I won't torture him?” Dante felt annoyed and disliked if he was pressured. But now that he doesn't want to waste any more time talking stale with Anthony, he wants to meet Bella.
“Fuuuh! Well, if that's your reason. That's something that makes sense. Okay I accept that but please be nice to her. Bella is pregnant so be careful, she is very sensitive.” Anthony's message to Dante.
‘Indeed he thought I was hungry so I pounced on Bella?’ whispers in Dante's heart.
“You don't need to teach me!” Dante holds the collar of Anthony's shirt, “Women in my arms, he wears a Bella-like mask. I want you to bring the girl.” Dante speaks directly to the point.
“Why should I take it? Did you bring Bella and why did I bring her again? Moreover fake Bella?” asked Anthony while glancing a little at Dante's car.
“You forgot? Your boss used a video of Bella calling my name trying to catch my eye a month ago?”
“Hmmm. So you think I need a replacement for Bella to avoid anger from my boss not because I gave her back to you?” anthony protested again to realize what Dante meant after he thought for a while.
“Not!” Dante shook his head. “I don't care about your boss who is also your father! I don't care what she wants to say when you return Bella to me.”
“Then what do you want?”
“Didn't you want Jeff Amadeo?” Dante reminds Anthony of their plan.
“Indeed it's my target.” Anthony nodded his head.
“Then give the woman to your boss. I'll tell you when there's gonna be my last gun sale and have your boss take him. Lure Jeff out with that woman, he'll definitely find you to get that woman, he wants Bella.”
“So you mean Jeff is also after Bella?” anthony's question that didn't get any answers from Dante upset him.
“Shhh! I'm asking you, why didn't you answer?” somewhat annoyed Anthony saw Dante not responding to him, Dante just looked at Anthony seriously. “Alright, there is no need for you to answer just assume your boring face shows that you said yes.”
“No! I'm not testing your patience. I'm telling you the truth. If silence means yes?” anthony's reply is getting serious.
“Don't discuss that again. Take the woman in my car and you get out of the way. I'll take Bella.” said Dante.
“Wait! Don't touch my car, I don't want your fingerprints on my car.” and Anthony smiles while opening the car door. “You take Bella!”
Bella looks with a pale face and is looking at Dante, Bella's eyes make Dante's heart not care. He felt warmth when he looked at the woman, his heart quivering because his lips were twisted and his head felt dizzy from worry.
“What are you doing there? Stand up.” said Dante when he saw Bella did not flinch.
“Dante.” that soft voice calling Dante's name made Anthony so glance at him.
“Hey! Why don't you come out? Aren't you looking for Dante and you want him to pick you up? Look he's come to get you. What are you doing in my domobil? Why don't you come down?”
Bella still hasn't gotten out of the car, he just looked at Dante while whispering calling the name of the man while Dante was drunk just staring at Bella made his brain suddenly unable to think and his lips unable to speak.
“I want to go down but my feet can't move,” said Bella slowly.
“What? Are you nervous, Bella? Here let me help you stand.” chirps Anthony who has advanced first to make Dante not like because he does not want Anthony to touch Bella's hand make her blood start boiling.
“I don't want you to touch me Anthony! I don't want Dante to be mad at me.” looked anxious on Bella's face while shaking her head with a terrified expression.
He still remembered the words spoken by Dante in the torture chamber was still stirred in his mind, he stayed away from Anthony and his attitude was soothing Dante.
“Dante?”
“Shut! Don't call my name like that, Belinda!” said Dante, who had both hands carrying Bella and took her out of Anthony's car. The warm feeling in Bella when the burly hand was carrying her body, her smile was even broken.
“Remember your promise to me, don't hurt Bella ya Dante.” said Anthony when Dante had turned his back and walked to his car.
“Come on, grab the woman in the back seat of my car and bring her back into your car.”
“Dante!” Anthony called back to him after remembering something.
“What more do you want?”
“I want the clothes Bella.” answered Anthony.
“What did you say?” Dante instantly turned his body to look at Anthony in annoyance and his reddened face held in anger.
“Hey! Don't be mad at me. I just ask Bella's shirt to be exchanged for the woman's shirt that you are looking at.” and Anthony walked up to Bella and took something from her waist.
“Hold this Bella, actually this is not something that can be used to blow people up but this is very safe for you to hold. It's a special folding knife you can use to protect yourself. So if anyone bothers you you can use this, take it with you wherever you go.”
Then Anthony looked at Dante and said, “Quick! Change her clothes.”
“Not a good idea! I can't change his clothes.” Dante whispered to Anthony.
“What do you mean dante? They had to change clothes because Bella came out of my house in that outfit and I don't want anyone in my house to be suspicious.” Anthony spoke very seriously.
