Chapter 20

• Bella’s POV
• As I am standing there behind Ivan like he is a blockade, I hear a voice that I am presuming that is his father. “Hello, son I’m glad you made it back from your meeting in time to joins us tonight.” Ivan responds to him. “Thank you father I told you I would. Happy birthday mother.” Ivan moves to hug and his mom, when he does, he exposes me. “Who the fuck is this?” Ivan’s father asks. “Bella this is my father Aleksei, and my mother Giulia. Mother, father this is Bella my date.” Ivan replies to him.
• I reach my hand out to shake as soon as the introductions was over. I could tell Aleksei, didn’t mind, but Giulia did. Giulia snarled her nose up at me like I was complete and utter thrash. I tried to move closer to Kat, but Ivan wasn’t having that. He snatched my arm dragging me right up against him. The group chit chat’s for a couple of minutes, before Ivan looks down at me and demands. “I’m about to have to go have a meeting. Stay right here with Kat and my mother while I’m gone. Don’t you dare get up and go nowhere else besides this table.” Ivan squats down to eye level when he tells me this. Then his lips press up against mine, in a dominating way. He forces his tongue into my mouth and takes what he wants right then and there in front of everyone.
