Bullied To Love novel Chapter 22

The next morning Enzo drops me off at home before going to work. He promised to pick me up in the afternoon so we could go and check out the site for the restaurant. I walk into the house straight to the kitchen, because Enzo was in a hurry so we did not have breakfast. I sit on the stool to try and think of what to eat when another thought occupies my mind.

Sometimes I feel like the things happening in my life right now are not real. Like I am imagining all these beautiful things happening to me right now. The one man in my life I would have never expected to make me so happy is the same man making my life’s dream come true. This side of Enzo I am seeing is making it very hard for me not to fall in love with him. I know that I have stronger feelings for him, and I can’t even explain what I feel anymore. But the main question here is, do I love Enzo? Funnily enough, I do not know the answer to that question. But I have a feeling I will be able to answer that soon. I am brought back to earth when I hear mama calling me.

"Honey, Honey!" Mama says, waving her hands in my face to bring me back to earth.

"Sorry, mama, what were you saying?" I say coming back to earth.

"I was asking you how your trip was with Enzo," she says preparing breakfast for both of us.

"Oh mama, it was amazing. It was the best week of my life. He took me to beautiful places on his island. He even made me buy a whole new wardrobe. He made me do a lot of fun things I would have never done in my life. I saw a side of Enzo that I could never have imagined. He did a lot of wonderful things, and it’s making it hard for me not to fall for him." I say hiding my face in my hair after saying the last words.

"Hmmm, that’s nice. I am more than happy he is making you happy, but my question is, do you love him?" Mama says.

"MAMA! I did not say I love him. I just said I am falling for him." I say still trying to hide the blush on my face.

"Whatever you say, love," She says not believing me but not going to push me to talk about it. She places my breakfast in front of me.

"Mama, I wanted to ask..." I don't get to finish my sentence when I am interrupted by my phone ringing in the living room.

"Mama, I want to talk to you about something, but let me get this," I say walking into the living room to pick up my phone.

I walk into the living room and take my phone out of my bag. I check the caller ID and see it's Enzo that is calling so I quickly pick up.

"Hey, missing me already?" I say once I answer the call.

"Bella, I will always miss you whenever you are not by my side," he says in that sexy voice of his.

"I miss you too. How is your day at the office going?"

"Mi amore, that’s why I am calling. I know I said you should not be working at the company anymore. But I have not been able to get a replacement this morning, and I need your help. Do you mind working until I can find a replacement?" he says.

"Enzo that won't be a problem; I will be in the office in an hour."

"Thank you, Bella, see you in an hour." he says and hangs up before I reply.

I walk upstairs to get ready after having breakfast. While changing my clothes I order an Uber. I pick a blue casual jumpsuit with nude heels and a brown jacket. When I’m finished dressing I walk downstairs to tell mama I will be going to the office, and luckily for me my Uber is already waiting outside.

"Mama, I am going to the office. I won't be back till the evening." I shout from the living room. I pick up my handbag to be on my way.

"Alright, honey. Bye, see you when you get back." mama shouts back from the kitchen.

I walk out and hop into the Uber to be on my way to the office. When I arrive at the office I pay the Uber driver and go straight up to Enzo's office.

I reach Enzo's office and knock on his door. After hearing come in, I step in to see Enzo with a lot of papers on his desk.

"Hey," I say as soon as I step in.

"Bella, is that you?" he says still not lifting his eyes from the papers in front of him.

"Yes, it’s me,” I say sitting on one of the chairs in front of his desk.

“Thank God! You don’t know how happy I am to see you,” he says, getting up to hug me and kiss my forehead.

“I am happy to see you too,” I say while sitting back down.

“Mi amore, please, I need you to help me plan a dance ball which will be held in my hotel on Saturday in honour of my father’s friend."
