Chapter 11 Agreement Nullified
Salvatore’s POV:

I brought Bella back to Leone residence with me. My body desires her, so I’m willing to show her a bit more patience.
I got out of the car to open the door for her and said, “Get out.” I tried to make my tone less harsh; if possible, I still hoped that Bella and I could develop some affection.
But I underestimated Bella’s temperament and didn’t realize how much she detested Leone residence.
“I don’t want to,” she coldly refused.
No one had ever dared to reject me so directly. If anyone had, they would have long become a skeleton by now.
“Godfather, let me be direct with you. I don’t want to be your wife, nor do I want to live under your mood swings in the future.”
Hearing her words, I couldn’t help but frown. Not wanting to be my wife? That was not negotiable; she had to be mine in this lifetime.
As for
my mood swings, if she were more compliant, I wouldn’t mind making my demeanor more pleasant.
“If you stay by my side obediently, my mood won’t be too bad.” After saying that, I picked her up.
I carried her into the house and set her on the sofa, then began to examine her palm. Her skin was delicate, and even a small wound looked alarmingly painful.
“Get the first aid kit,” I ordered the servants. The servants at Leone residence were somewhat foolish, needing me to speak up. I needed to bring in more competent people to take care of Bella.
“Godfather, let me handle this,” it seemed to be the butler, daring to make decisions for me. “Get out.” I had only asked him for the first aid kit; he just needed to do what he was told.
I gently dabbed Bella’s wound with a cotton swab soaked in iodine.
“Ouch- it hurts!” As expected, she was just a delicate woman.
“There, there, just bear with it a moment,” I soothed her gently, reminded of last night when she softly cried out in pain beneath me.
But right now, the most important thing was to bandage Bella’s wounds. After I had finished, she promptly withdrew her hand.

“Do you have amnesia? This is your home,” I reiterated. Of course, I wouldn’t tell her the true reason I was keeping her at Leone residence. She just needed to know that she would spend her life by my side.
When I stated this, Bella scoffed, “Dear godfather, you never cared about me all these years we were married. Just because we slept together last night, you start to care about me? Should I take it then that you’re keeping me here at Leone residence out of a sexual impulse? We’re already divorced. This is illegal detention…of a person!”
Bella said a lot that I didn’t want to hear. Keeping her by my side, I indeed considered how well we matched in bed, but I wouldn’t tell her that it’s because she’s one of the few people I’m not allergic to.
Revealing that would be like showing others that Bella was my soft spot.
“As long as I don’t say it, no one will accuse me of illegally imprisoning you.”
Fear gradually filled Bella’s eyes; she understood the threat in my words. I am the godfather, a man with more power and wealth than most. I just need to spend a little money to smooth over seemingly impossible issues.
“That divorce agreement is void unless I acknowledge it. No judge would dare claim it has any legal effect.”
I looked at Bella’s red lips, feeling a strong desire to kiss her.
Just then, my phone in my pocket rang, breaking the intimate atmosphere. I answered with slight
annoyance.
Alex said, “Godfather, there’s an urgent meeting with Hesperan that requires your personal attention. I’ve already arrived at the entrance.”
“Okay,” I felt a bit irritated. If not for this call about the urgent meeting, I might have been kissing Belia by now, perhaps even taking her to bed.
I released Bella and stood up to straighten my suit.
As I reached the door, I commanded the servants and bodyguards outside, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let Mrs. Leone wander off.”
“Yes,” the bodyguards responded robustly, which pleased me. My pet should be well guarded at home.
