My Princessa

Chapter 32

Matteo's Pov

I watched Rosa sleep as a tear fell from my eyes which l hastily wiped away

All l ever wanted to do is protect my children but l hurt Alex and Bella in the process

I failed as a father

My son doesn't want to see me or talk to me

I drove my daughter to try and commit suicide

Nothing in my life or my children's lives seems to be going right and l have no idea on how to fix all of this because l could see it in Bella's eyes that she's withering away

Till date l have never had a weakness because l always considered my family my strength but my biggest weakness came through when Ronan told me that Bella was trying to commit suicide

When l met Bella l promised her that she'll never have a reason to cry but these past 2 years all she's ever done is cry

I left the room Bella was currently sleeping in and found Ronan in the sitting room

"How did you find her" l asked him

"I've been trying to find her for a year and a half now,"he said as he motioned me to sit

"Why?? why do you care "

"She is my daughter too " he snapped and l laughed

"You abused her most of her childhood and you have the audacity to say that she is your daughter" l said

"I made a mistake Capo but l want to make it right" he said desperately

"It's years too late now" l said to him with disgust

I mean who abuses a child for years and then claims to have made a mistake

"I get that you saved her life but you are also a factor in her attempt to take her life ,all Bella has ever known most of her life is abuse and you are the reason for that so if you are hoping for forgiveness you better forget it

I am giving you a headstart Ronan you better run because as soon as l get Bella strong and healthy l'll come for you and everyone else who has hurt my family

"Capo please l can't take back what happened but l want a second chance" he begged with his hands folded

"I can forgive but l can never forget Mr Rossi my children mean the world to me and l can never compromise with their happiness" l told him and left him in the sitting room

I went to the small balcony on the apartment for a smoke because my mind was a mess

Alex's Pov

I really had no idea on what to feel at the moment

I should be happy right now but a part of me feels betrayed that they all got to live happily for these past two years while Bella and l had a hard time and worse of all l really don't know what dad will do to mom when he finds out what happened a year back
